Gordon Ramsay: Great Balls of Fire!

Posted Sep 7th 2007 3:35PM by TMZ Staff

Gordon Ramsay"Hell's Kitchen" host Gordon Ramsay apparently got his twig and berries a little too close to an open flame and burned his nether region, several British tabs are reporting.

Gordon was quoted by The Sun as explaining, "The other day I was standing too close to the stove when I was cooking. I was wearing these cotton trousers and underneath I was going commando, suddenly, I felt this searing heat. I went, 'F**k me, bollocks to that.'" Bollocks, indeed. Ramsay painted an even clearer horrible mental picture by saying, "I burnt my right bollock and I'm in absolute agony ... You wouldn't believe how much this hurts." Not hard to imagine it, really.

Ramsay's rep confirmed that the chef did in fact burn himself, but wouldn't confirm where on his body the burn occurred.

7. YOU PEOPLE WHO "LOVE" THE CHEF ( I REFUSE TO SAY HIS NAME ) ARE DEMENTED. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO REDEEMING QUALITIES ABOUT THIS ASSCLOWN. WHY DOES THE CHEF THINK THAT WE WOULD CARE IF HE BURNED HIMSELF? HE DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A NICE THING TO SAY ABOUT ANYONE. I STOPPED WATCHING AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF EPISODES BECAUSE THE GUY IS COSTIC WITH NO COMPASSION OR UNDERSTANDING. WHY DOES THIS GUY APPEAL TO YOU PEEPS WHO JUST "LOVE HIM". SOUNDS LIKE THE CHEF IS MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT HIMSELF HERE TODAY. WHAT A SELF ABSORBED MORON.

9. Ahhh c'mon.....
Chef Ramsey may bark like a dog, but he doesn't really bite.
He certainly must be, ahem, well endowed.
A burn to a ball.............I'm a woman and I said ouch!

13. To wa wa waa...no compassion or understanding? Gimme a break! He gave Julia a free ride to culinary school and then a chance to compete again in Hell's Kitchen....and what did she end up doing? Being a big cry baby and acting a fool on the final episode...as a fellow Atlantan, I think he should have pulled the free ride back, just because of her being so ingrateful. We were all pulling for her until she acted like an ASS!!! She was a Waffle House cook (an underdog) and had all of us on her side, then turned out to be something I would never say out loud....but she makes me think it, which makes me more mad at her.
