He is famous for turning the air blue with his outbursts of fire during his many television shows.
And Gordon Ramsay has recounted how fans are such fans of his cuss-filled rants that they literally beg him to tell them to fuck off.
Yet while the 56-year-old TV chef apparently doesn’t mind complying with the bizarre requests, he finds it “weird” when asked to swear in front of his three-year-old son Oscar.

speaking to Sunhe explained: ‘They say, ‘Can you tell me to fuck off?’ I don’t know why I get it at traffic lights, “Hey Gordon, tell us to fuck you”, from a van driver to a lawyer to an NHS nurse.
“If I’m standing there with Oscar (his three-year-old son), it’s a little weird.”
Meanwhile, Gordon opened up about his new TV show Next Level Chef, where he said that his swearing was not only directed at the contestants, but also at his fellow judges.

Next Level Chef will see a range of applicants including home cooks, influencers and professional chefs all vying for a £100,000 prize and 12-month mentorship.
He was joined by Californian chef Nyesha Arrington and his former protégé Paul Ainsley, and Gordon recounted how their first meeting for the show was “filled with a lot of cussing”.
He added: ‘I’m not trying to make amends, it’s industry language, not unlike politics in recent months. That’s where a lot of shit came from. It’s industry language, I don’t focus on the camera, I focus on the moment to make sure it’s right.’
Bad Words: He is famous for turning the air blue with his fiery outbursts during his many television shows.
Wow: ‘They’re like, “Can you tell me to fuck off?” I don’t know why I get it at traffic lights, “Oi Gordon, tell us to kill the crap out of you”, from a van driver to a lawyer to an NHS nurse.
The chef added that while he sometimes communicates with swear words, he has a definite way of telling contestants that he hates their food: by spitting it out.
He added that if something looks inedible to you, “there would be no way on Earth” you would swallow it.
It comes after Lord Sugar criticized Gordon by accusing the TV chef of ‘ripping off’ The Apprentice with his Future Food Stars show.

The tycoon, 75, told MailOnline Gordon should “stay in his day job” after launching the new series last year, in which 12 businessmen compete for a £150,000 investment of the restaurateur’s own money to start a food business.
He insists that the format of Gordon’s show, which returned to BBC One with a second series on Thursday, 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 for 17 years, to try and replicate the removal process for The Apprentice.” I say this with a lot of respect for them, but they have failed.

‘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.
Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars first aired in 2022 on BBC One with the second series starting later this year.
