Tracy Grimshaw has turned down a whopping offer to strip down for Zoo Weekly.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Grimshaw has been offered $50,000 to bare some skin for the lad’s mag.

The Channel Nine personality has been involved in a very public feud with Gordon Ramsay, in which he derided her as an ugly pig who needed “to see Simon Cowell’s botox doctor”.

But Zoo’s editor, Paul Merrill, has a very different perspective on the A Current Affair host.

"Gordon Ramsay said she was a pig, but we reckon she's a fox," Merrill said.

“She's had her reputation put through the wringer, so the best way to fight back is to show Gordon exactly what she's made of.

"If she agrees, we'll personally send 1000 copies to Mr Ramsay."

Zoo is published by ACP, Channel Nine’s publishing affiliate, but A Current Affair’s executive producer, Grant Williams, says neither he nor Tracy had seen any such offer.

"Tracy does not know anything about it and I would have no intention of telling her because it is a grubby disgrace," he told the Telegraph.

But Zoo maintains the offer is for real, and claims a Grimshaw cover has the potential to break records set by the likes of Nikki Webster, Tamsyn Lewis and Lara Bingle.
