Gordon Ramsay slammed by Saturday Night Takeaway fans after insulting contestant’s TEETH in ‘savage’ comment

GORDON Ramsay has been slammed by Saturday Night Takeaway fans after he insulted a woman's TEETH in a "savage" comment.

The 54-year-old star was the Guest Announcer on Ant and Dec's hit ITV show this evening, and was sure to cause a stir.

Taking part in the Read My Lips segment, the famously foul-mouthed TV chef had to work out what contestants were saying by lip-reading.

Gordon wasn't very good at the game - and when it came to fan Lorna's turn he blamed the gap in her teeth for not being able to work out what she was saying.

While Lorna repeatedly shouted: "Garlic bread", Gordon guessed everything from lasagne to chilli con carne.

Obviously exasperated, he told the hosts: "I can't… It's the gap in the teeth, I can't understand what she's saying."

Ant and Dec laughed off the comment, but fans at home were less than impressed - and flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One wrote: "Was there any need for Gordon Ramsay to say that about that lady's teeth?"

Another added: "Love the show but really disappointed in Gordon Ramsay’s personal, insulting comment about the lady’s gap in her teeth.

"On live TV! So mean and unnecessary and comments like that can break someone."

A third tweeted: "Wtf Gordon Ramsay is savage af.. 'it's the gap in the teeth'".

One more agreed: "Still can't believe Gordon blamed the gap in that woman's teeth for not being able to guess the dish".

The remark came shortly after Gordon seemingly swore as he appeared to guess "p****d" as another contestant's word.

Ant apologised after the game, which came just 10 minutes after the star had promised not to swear during tonight's live, family-friendly episode.
