Ramsay slams US court system

Gordon Ramsay has slammed the US court system following accusations that he faked his TV show Kitchen Nightmares.

The manager at the Dillon's Lounge restaurant in New York filed a lawsuit against the chef in June claiming that the show's producers had exaggerated the problems in his kitchen.

Talking about the court case, Ramsay told The Sun: "This is supposed to be the most powerful nation in the world, not the most pathetic!"

Ramsay claimed that the crew "found extraordinary droppings from rats and the most unhygienic kitchen I've ever seen in my career!"

He added: "I would never, ever dream of setting anything up."

The dispute was settled with an out of court arbitration earlier this month on the order of a Manhattan federal court judge.
