Fury Over TV Chef Gordon Ramsay's Slur On Disabled

Fury Over Chef's 'Disabled' Jibe

CHEF Gordon Ramsay is in hot water after branding a team of cooks a "f***ing handicapped brigade".

Ramsay's outburst was screened on his Kitchen Nightmares show hours after he visited a group of disabled Scots children.

The Hell's Kitchen star, patron of the Scottish Spina Bifida Association, was pictured meeting kids at their Cumbernauld offices last week.

But the next night Channel Four viewers watched the swearing Scot tear into Scott Aitcheson, owner of the struggling Priory restaurant in Haywards Heath, West Sussex.

Ramsay's outburst came after Aitcheson said they couldn't cope with 80 customers.

Pointing to new chef Matt, Ramsay rants: "He could cope with that on the back of doing 80 in front of me with a f***ing handicapped f***ing brigade."

Disability campaigners last night hit out at the four-letter rant. A spokeswoman for learning disability charity Mencap said: "It is disappointing when people, especially those in the public eye, do not realise certain language can be offensive to people with a disability."

Ramsay, 41, a former professional footballer with Rangers, regularly courts controversy.

But on a return to Scotland earlier this week, he showed his softer side when he was humbled by the bravery of youngsters battling spina bifida. He and wife Tana played with children at the SSBA centre at Cumbernauld.

He said: "I've been part of this charity for four years now and it is just an incredible experience.

"The spirit for life these kids have is extraordinary. Every time I come here, I tell my wife how much I enjoy it and now she has been able to see for herself.

"This charity is part of my life now. The hard thing is finding half a million pounds a year to keep this place functioning."
