Ramsay signs up for US 'Hell's Kitchen'

Gordon Ramsay has signed off a deal to make a US version of ITV reality hit Hell's Kitchen.

The acerbic chef will topline the ten-episode series for US network FOX, with filming beginning in September.

However, unlike the original - where untrained celebrities run an exclusive restaurant - the American show will feature ordinary men and women being put through their paces.

FOX has earmarked Hell's Kitchen for a Friday night slot.
