GORDON RAMSAY is developing a new game show which could give us a 21st-century version of The Crystal Maze.
Unfortunately the chef has no plans to shave his head to look like the original host Richard O'Brien.

Gordon Ramsay is developing a new game show which could give us a 21st-century version of The Crystal Maze, pictured original host Richard O'Brien
Gordon's production house Studio Ramsay Global is in the very early stages of devising the group challenge show – so early, in fact, that it's not yet clear where the show would eventually air.
But there would certainly be an appetite for a programme like The Crystal Maze, which became a cult classic when it was shown on Channel 4 from 1990 to 1995.
There have been a couple of reboots, including a one-off celebrity edition hosted by Stephen Merchant, but nothing has quite conjured up the magic of the old show.
If anyone can do it, surely Gordon can.
The Sun revealed in March that Ramsey was set to launch a new baking show.
Fans loved his sweary antics on shows such as The F-Word and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
In 2023, Gordon launched Next Level Chef on ITV, but it was axed after only one series.
He was looking to have better luck across the pond as he revealed Next Level Baker to FOX.
The new spin-off show would test bakers as they attempted to make festive holiday treats across the three levels on the set.
One master of the craft would hope to take away the top prize and the crown.
My husband Gordon Ramsay missed the birth of our first 4 kids, it's controversial but I didn't want the attention on him
Gordon gushed over his new show as he said it takes him back to his roots as a chef.
He said: "I'm delighted that Next Level Baker is coming to Fox later this year.
"A holiday special, where passionate home cooks, more used to crafting treats for their family, will compete against social media creators; individuals who fill our feeds with photo ready creations, side by side with talented professional pastry chefs, impressing with Michelin starred perfection.'
"My very first job was baking in Paris, and to me there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread."
