Gordon Ramsay heads towards Australia.
The celebrity British chef will film the new series of his reality show, Future Food Stars, in Melbourne, Australia.
The 56-year-old is believed to arrive ‘in the coming months’ and the journey is likely to be a ‘whirlwind’, reports The Herald Sun.

Ramsay launched the new series last year, in which 12 businessmen compete for a GBP£150,000 (AUD$261,474) investment of the restaurateur’s own money to start a food business.
Australian business guru Janine Allis will join Ramsay on the Australian leg of the show as a mentor to the teams.
Earlier this month, Lord Sugar criticized Ramsay, accusing the TV chef of “ripping off” The Apprentice with his Future Food Stars show.

The tycoon, 75, told MailOnline Gordon should “stay at his day job”.
He insists that the format of Gordon’s show returning to BBC One with a second series later this year is a “virtual copy” of The Apprentice and says he does not understand how lawyers allowed it to go ahead.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Lord Sugar said: “I think the broadcasters, Channel 4, Channel 5 and ITV have been trying for many years, at least 17 years, to try to replicate the removal process for The Apprentice.” I say this with a lot of respect for them, but they have failed.

The 75-year-old mogul told MailOnline Gordon should “stick to his day job”.
‘Last year Gordon Ramsay had a crazy idea… I like Gordon and I think he’s very good and he should stick to what he has to do, cook and all that.
“He had something, which was like, I don’t know how the lawyers allowed it because it was a virtual rip off of The Apprentice. No disrespect to Gordon, but stick with your everyday coworker, that’s all I’d say.
