The real naked chef

Let this be a lesson to all you wannabe chefs. Never, and we mean never, steal another cook's recipes. Especially if said cook is TV chef Gordon Ramsay.

Ramsay, star of "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares," first noticed that a large number of recipes, from his database of over 5,500, were disappearing.

"We followed (the culprit) on the CCTV (closed circuit television) and found out he was sifting all the ideas out of my kitchen. So I stripped him stark b*****k naked and wrapped him in cling-film," Ramsay admitted. "It’s probably the nastiest thing I’ve done. He sweated like a pig. I don’t know why he did it but then it’s pretty hard to talk when you’re being wrapped in cling-film by 25 cooks."

A man steals your recipes and the first thing you do is strip him naked? We love the way you think, Ramsay!
