Gordon Ramsay “would love” to do ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ‘Hell's Kitchen’ star is keen to follow in his 21-year-old daughter Tilly’s footsteps and compete on the BBC's Latin and ballroom contest - in which she finished ninth with pro Nikita Kuzim two years ago - while revealing he is also up to get stuck in on intense Channel 4 challenge show ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’.
The 56-year-old celebrity chef is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: “Yes, I would love to learn how to dance. I’ve just got to find the time.”
He added: “I love SAS Who Dares Wins, too. I’d love to do that.”
Meanwhile, he has recently been embroiled in a spat with Lord Alan Sugar, who alleged Gordon stole his ‘Apprentice’ format for new show, ‘Future Food Stars’, which sees 12 entrepreneurs trying to create a foodie business vie for a £150,000 investment.
Alan told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I think broadcasters, Channel 4, Channel 5, and ITV have tried for many years at least for 17 years to try and replicate the elimination process of The Apprentice. I say this with great respect to them but they've failed.
"I like Gordon and I think he's very good and should stick to what he should do, cooking and all that stuff. He had some thing, which was like, I don't know how the lawyers allowed it because it was a virtual rip-off of ‘The Apprentice.' "
Gordon clapped back to the mogul and claimed he was talking “absolute b*******".
He told The Sun newspaper: "He has no right to start throwing his toys out the pram. Do you think Simon Cowell started complaining about 'The Voice' when he was running 'The X Factor'? Of course he didn’t.
"One of his contestants who ran a cupcake firm got in touch. What is a cupcake firm going to Alan Sugar for money for? They should be coming to me.
"Anyway, she said to me, ‘I love the show, I am a huge supporter, how can I apply to come on?’. I wanted to send it and say, ‘See, you are b******* about me but your contestants are dying to come on the show!' "
