Gordon Ramsay has reportedly prompted a flood of complaints to Channel 4 after using the F-word more than 200 times in his latest show.

The TV chef swore 240 times on Friday night's Gordon's Great British Nightmare, while other people featured in the programme added to the count with a further 69. A total of some 312 swear words were heard in the course of the show's 103 minutes.

One scene featured 37 expletives in 95 seconds, equivalent to one every two and a half seconds, reports The Sunday Mirror.

A Channel 4 spokesman said: "Gordon Ramsay is a well-known TV personality and viewers know what to expect. The swearing was a genuine expression of his passion and frustration."
