http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/latest/2008/11/07/gordon-ramsay-gives-up-swearing-115875-20874961/Gordon Ramsay is to tone down his bad language because of the uproar over swearing on TV.
The telly chef, 41, whose Channel 4 show the F Word was named after his infamous foul-mouthed outbursts, says he wants to be known for cooking rather than cursing. At recent book signings he was bombarded with fans wanting him to scrawl the message: “F*** off, Gordon Ramsay.”
But a source said: “He got fed up with doing it and now won’t sign his books with swear words.
“He’s aware of the current criticism and complaints about too much swearing and wants to tone things down in keeping with the attitude of the public. There is not much chance of him presenting entire shows without swearing at all, but he is certainly going to clean up his act.”
The Mirror is campaigning to clean up TV after ITV boss Michael Grade blasted “unrestrained” swearing. Culture Secretary Andy Burnham said: “I’m pleased The Mirror has lent its weight to this issue.”
