Tis the season to be jolly RUDE! Gordon Ramsay stays true to form by swearing 54 times in Christmas special

• Ramsay repeatedly let rip while putting together a Christmas menu on ITV
• His co-host Gino D'Acampo also swore nine times in the Thursday night show
• Some viewers criticised the foul-mouthed chef saying kids could not watch it 

Gordon Ramsay took his foul-mouthed reputation to new extremes by swearing 54 times during his Christmas special this week.

Joining co-hosts Gino D'Acampo and Fred Sirieix for a festive roast on Thursday night, the celebrity chef did not hold back as he shouted across the kitchen. 

Co-host D'Acampo added nine curse words of his own, bringing the total to nearly one swear word a minute on the ITV programme. 

Ramsay used the F-word 32 times along with 16 uses of s***, according to The Sun. 

He let rip on a celebrity-laden show which featured Professor Green, Geri Horner, Kay Burley and other high-profile guests.  

His tirades included: 'You can't eat two starters at the same f****** time,' and: 'I'm not going to serve s***.'

Meanwhile D'Acampo warned two of the cooks: 'We f*** up the bread, I don't have any more bread.'

The 51-year-old Ramsay also tossed aside one overcooked piece of food with the comment: 'When it's brown it's cooked, when it's black it's f*****.' 

First Dates maitre d' Fred Sirieix was the only host who refrained from swearing during the programme, though he was on the receiving end of some of Ramsay's rants.

Some viewers criticised the curse-laden cookery show, with one viewer saying children could only have watched it without the swearing. 

And Sherilyn Shaw said: 'If I was sworn at like that, Gordon would be wearing spag bol.'
