Gordon Ramsay struggles to cook in the pouring rain in first look at new episode of US TV show
GORDON Ramsay was forced to use his wok for a makeshift hat as rain drenched his outdoor kitchen in new show, Uncharted.
The chef headed to Indonesia to whip up a feast for one of the country's top officials, yet didn't take into account the changeable weather.
Wearing a figure-hugging black T-Shirt, the 53-year-old was joined by a fellow chef in traditional dress as they stirred woks preparing a rendang - a spicy Indonesian dish usually made with beef.
Yet as the heavens opened all he could do was keep calm, carry on and laugh.
Scenes for his National Geographic show, released on the F Word chef's Instagram page, see him giggling as he said: "I'm not rushing this rendang though rain is stopping play here."
His Indonesian chef colleague seemed a little more sceptical and quizzed: "Well? What should I do?"
Gordon insisted: "We can't stop, the governor is coming for dinner!
"My mum said a little bit of rain never hurt."
They bravely continued, yet it is unclear how the dish turned out.
Alongside the video, Gordon posted in his caption: "Like the post office, I cook no matter the weather on #Uncharted!
"This Sunday on @natgeochannel I’m headed to #Indonesia and all it’s beauty Gx."
Meanwhile, the Sun Online previously reported how Gordon is again required to battle the elements on the series - this time being forced to swim through a sea of sharks.
He was forced to jump from a helicopter when it could not land on the sand, before plunging through the waves to shore in South Africa.
Soaking wet on the beach - but alive - he told the camera: "Jumping out of a helicopter into a ferocious sea, laced with sharks, to get to the beach.

'Trust me, after that jump, I hope those mussels are worth it, because I'm here to learn."
Viewers had previously seen the helicopter pilot outlining the grim situation during which he said: "We can't land on the beach, it's impossible."
Later in replying to a question from Gordon, he added: "Gordon, that's not going to happen."
Yet all was well as Gordon was able to meet the two chefs as planned on the beach for their cooking session.
Meanwhile, on home turf, Gordon has been spending the coronavirus epidemic in his second home in Cornwall, much to the dismay of some residents, who accused him of breaking lockdown rules while there.
