Stroppy chef Gordon Ramsay has revealed he tries to keep his cool in the kitchen by going without pants.

And the 40-year-old claims that not wearing underwear is common practice in top restaurants because chefs prefer not to get hot and sweaty.

'I've gone commando, everyone does it,' he told Jonathan Ross on his Friday night BBC1 show. 'You don't want to cook in hot sweaty pants. It's a chef thing.'

Well, as Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan have both been snapped without their undies, that means they should be naturals in the kitchen.
