Gordon Ramsay ditches his notoriously high standards as he lands huge six-figure deal with popular fast-food chain found on every high street
The 58-year-old will be fronting a TV advert as part of an upcoming campaign with Burger King.
According to The Sun, the chef - who owns multiple restaurants including Gordon Ramsay Burger - was recently seen filming outside one of the eateries in Reading.
An insider told the publication: 'As someone who has a reputation for being fiery, he seemed like the perfect choice for a restaurant whose products are famous for being flame grilled.
'And the advert's storyline is believed to based on his distinctly "bombastic" style of operating, which is evident in his many TV shows.'
MailOnline contacted Gordon's representative for comment.
The 58-year-old will be fronting a TV advert as part of an upcoming campaign with Burger King
Burger King is a multinational chain of fast food restaurants that has been around in the US since 1954.
The brand then joined the UK in 1976 and has become a popular place to grab a burger and chips.
Meanwhile Gordon, who is reportedly worth £176m, has had a pretty successful career over the years.
The chef has owned and still owns a number of restuarants all over the world, including Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen, Good Ramsay Plane Food, Le Pressoir d'Argent, Savoy Grill and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.
He's also starred in a number of TV shows including Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef, Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay: Cooking Along Live, Boiling Point, Hotel Hell and The F Word.
This has led on to various brands wanting to work with him, including partnership deals with Flora, Tide and HayDay.
His personal life is also just as successful as his private.
The star tied the knot with his wife Tana Hutcheson in 1996 and the pair share six children.
Last month Gordon revealed the 'scary' moment he passed out while cradling his son Oscar just moments after his birth.
The celebrity chef wasn't present for the births of his first four children - Megan, 26, twins Jack and Holly, 25, and Tilly, 23 - as his wife Tana, 50, insisted he stayed out of the delivery room.
She didn't want him to see her in labour or experience the raw reality of childbirth firsthand.
However, in 2019, Gordon was by her side for the arrival of their son Oscar, now six, delivered via C-section.
Yet what was meant to be a joyful moment - with Ed Sheeran 's music playing in the background - took a chaotic turn when the chef fainted while cradling his newborn son.
Appearing on the Smartless podcast, Gordon said: 'Let's make one thing absolutely clear, my wife didn't want me in there.
'First of all, she said, "I want my mum and your mum in there, you're not going to see me in that state, that side of the curtain, get out of there." That was her decision and I had to respect that decision.
'When I did final arrive in the theatre for our fifth baby I f****** collapsed like a wimp! I blacked out holding Oscar in the air.
'He was coming through the sun roof so there was a lot of commotion going on.
'They said, "What do you want to listen to?" So I said, "Can you play Ed Sheeran?" So they started playing Ed, they turned up the volume, I can hear all these noises, all of a sudden I see two more doctors dive in, I look to the floor and there was blood everywhere.
'They popped him out and then they came straight over to me and I went, "Woah, woah, s***." I sat back and I collapsed like a f****** idiot.'

Republicans now want to rename the JFK Center for the Performing Arts after Trump
A Republican bill has been proposed to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., after Donald Trump. Introduced by Representative Bob Onder, the 'Make Entertainment Great Again Act' cites Trump as a significant cultural figure and patron of the arts. Separately, an amendment to rename the Kennedy Center's Opera House after Melania Trump passed a House Appropriations Committee vote by 33-25. Donald Trump previously replaced board members at the Kennedy Center, stating he would ensure the institution is 'not woke'. John F. Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, criticised the renaming efforts, suggesting Trump is 'obsessed with being bigger than JFK'.

STEPHEN DAISLEY President made Starmer look small and shifty... he's like a new leader of the opposition
Keir Starmer and Donald Trump are like one of those couples on a TV matchmaker competition who are so wildly incompatible you just know they'll end up going on the most awkward date ever. And it was awkward, all right. Nobbled by the hacks on the way into their press conference at Trump's golf course at Turnberry in Ayrshire, the prime minister might have been hoping his unlikely companion would wave off the questions and head inside. A quick off the record natter and down to business. Like that was going to happen. This is Donald Trump. He is drawn to TV cameras like overmanned dinghies are drawn to Dover. Naturally, the question was the last one Starmer wanted: immigration. He yapped pathetically about the deportations carried out since he came to power, while Trump steamrollered ahead with a lengthy jeremiad about how migrants had changed Europe. 'Europe is a much different place than it was five years, ten years ago,' he rambled. 'They've got to get their act together. If they don't, you're not going to have Europe anymore as you know it. You can't do that.' Truly, this was a historic summit. The first presidential visit to be recorded as a non-crime hate incident. Once inside, the prime minister and the president sat in tandem to field questions from the media. The pairing was bizarre, the tension palpable, every second breathtaking. It's a wonder it wasn't blocked under the Online Safety Act. Like all doomed couples, they couldn't see eye to eye on their friends. 'I'm not a fan of your mayor,' Trump opined to a reporter. 'I think he's done a terrible job. The mayor of London. He's a nasty person.' Starmer's face fell like his poll numbers. With a nervous chuckle in his voice, he chirped: 'He's a friend of mine.' Trump stared ahead, deadpan: 'No, he's done a terrible job — but I would still visit London.' Starmer cringed. The only thing missing was the theme tune from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Mark Twain called golf 'a good walk spoiled', but he was talking out of his hole-in-one. This was pure entertainment. I still reckon a birdie is something in the sky and bogey the bloke in Casablanca, but if every golf club puts on a show like this, sign me up. Every time Trump went on a verbal wander around his own thoughts, Starmer sat gape-mouthed, which was helpful since it gave the president somewhere to stick his foot every minute or so. The prime minister looked almost relieved to take a question on farming and inheritance tax, no doubt assuming even Trump couldn't find a way to mess this up for him. Then the president began recounting how he had removed the estate tax from family farms, mindful that farmers like to keep their land in the family and noting the increased risks of suicide where they were not allowed to do so. Starmer, whose government plans to whomp British farms with new death taxes, sat there in stoney silence. Excruciating doesn't begin to cover it. I get secondary embarrassment very easily. The sight of someone else humiliated has my cheeks smouldering like volcanoes. It's just too agonising to watch. I bit through so many fingernails yesterday afternoon I skipped dinner entirely. The lowest moment for Starmer came when a journalist asked: 'The president makes it look easy dealing with illegal migrants. You must be envious of his record in such a short period of time.' Starmer squirmed like an eel in a well-tailored suit, acknowledging the issue and the importance of tackling it. Trump beamed in satisfaction. Finally, someone from the media who wasn't Fake News. The discussion turned to internet censorship, as Trump learned that new powers would allow the nation to shut down his Truth Social network. 'I don't think he's going to censor my site because I only say nice things,' he insisted, turning to Starmer and pleading: 'Will you please uncensor my site?' The prime minister explained, in a excitable word jumble, that there were no plans to suppress Truth Social and maintained the new laws were aimed at protecting children. Asked if he could give Starmer any tips for beating Nigel Farage, Trump recommended tax cuts, cracking down on crime and curbing illegal immigration. Starmer was as impassive as a statue. All three were popular policies in Britain, but now if he did anyone of them he would be seen as taking Trump's advice. The president then congratulated Starmer for 'becoming strong on immigration'. As if he didn't have enough problems with the parliamentary Labour party, now he'd have to explain why Bad Orange Man was bigging up his border policies. Every time Trump threw Starmer a rope it had a noose on the end. Then we came to the wind mills. The president is famously not a fan. Probably intimidated by the only creations that generate more hot air than him. 'When we go to Aberdeen,' he mused, drifting off on a tangent, 'they have some of the ugliest windmills you've ever seen.' These 'ugly monsters', he told the viewers at home, had a lifespan of eight years, would have to be dumped in the ocean, and required 'massive subsidies' to sustain them. He had stopped as many in the US as he could. Alas, some 'poor stupid people' had approved a number of them before he came along. Starmer, who approves of windmills, didn't seem to like that. There was the mildest of twitches in his otherwise disciplined facial expression. His countenance was that of a condemned prisoner having his death warrant read out and wishing they would just skip to the shooting. Trump proposed an alternative energy source, one that involved creating only a hole in the ground 'this big' — he cupped his hands by way of illustration. He was talking about drilling the North Sea bed for oil. At this juncture, Starmer looked like he would happily climb into a hole in the sea, anything to escape this televised torture. Trump is awful, of course, but he's a wonderful kind of awful. He's that friend everyone has who is a bit of a rogue but so damn charming you can't resist them. Watching one of his press conferences is like being present at a bomb disposal operation. You find yourself fixated on his every word, tic, breath and flutter of the eyes, knowing that, any second now, he could cut the wrong wire and blow everyone to kingdom come. Mercifully, the press conference concluded without any detonations, but the prime minister still looked shellshocked. Without really trying Trump had made him look small and shifty, doing a number on his credibility that Kemi Badenoch would struggle to manage. The man's only been in the country a few days and already he's the new leader of the opposition. The Labour leader wasn't the only politician left reeling by Trump's restless tongue. The president proposed that there not be another referendum on Scottish independence for 50 or 75 years. Given how slow progress is under John Swinney, the SNP rank and file should take Trump up on his offer. The political class resents Trump and, yes, he is vulgar, crass, short-tempered and toweringly arrogant, but he speaks in a plain, direct language never heard in British politics. There's no artifice there. He's too much of an egomaniac for that. But for all his flaws, two men sat before the world's press yesterday and while one could brag about his successes in office the other could only squirm.
