Ramsay signs 'mini-me' for US show

Gordon Ramsay was reportedly so impressed with a nine-year-old's online impressions of him that he signed the youngster to appear on his US show.

Felix Light's internet spoof of Kitchen Nightmares has attracted more than two million viewers, including the foul-mouthed celebrity chef.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Ramsay found the Loughton schoolboy's YouTube work hilarious and has now flown Little to LA to appear in Hell's Kitchen USA. A further role in The F Word is also being lined up.

Ramsay said: "When I saw the videos of Felix impersonating me I thought it was hilarious. I was with my son Jack, who is eight, and my wife Tana. I said, 'Look, come and see Daddy when he was little'.

"We all sat there laughing our heads off. Felix had me down to a T. I thought we just have to get this kid on Hell’s Kitchen. He's a star."

Little said he loved filming Hell's Kitchen, although he said he would rather be a rock star when he grows up because "it’s more fun than cooking".
