Celebrity Chef, Gordon Ramsay has said that he won’t stop swearing on TV, despite a recent controversy in Australia over his bad language.

“It’s high pressure, high energy and more importantly, real. That’s how we keep it each and every day,” Ramsay told the country’s Nine Network.

An inquiry was initiated by Liberal senator Cory Bernardi, after he watched Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.

Bernardi had watched one episode aired earlier this year, at 8.30pm, in which Ramsay used a four-letter swear word more than 80 times in 40 minutes.

Mr Bernardi said there was “no excuse for gratuitous bad language to be broadcast repeatedly” when it could be “beeped out”.

“I’d like to give Channel Nine a big telling off for making my name bad in Australia,” joked Ramsay. “Has no one got an edit suite and not broadcasting those naughty words before nine o’clock?”

“I’m getting the flak for it everywhere I go.”
