Gordon Ramsay appeared on Saturday Night Takeaway last night and found himself in hot water.
The chef, 54, took part in the show‘s ‘Read My Lips’ segment, where he had to work out what contestants were saying by lip-reading.
However, Gordon made a comment about contestant Lorna’s teeth after he couldn’t figure out what she was saying.

Meanwhile, viewers were stunned on Twitter and criticised Gordon for making the “unnecessary” comment.
One person said: “Gordon Ramsay blaming woman’s gap in her teeth for his failure! Unnecessary!”
After that, another wrote: “Gordon Ramsay was proper rude about that lady’s teeth. Don’t think there’s any need.
