Ramsay finds 'Kitchen Nightmares' in US

Gordon Ramsay is to make a US version of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares for the Fox network.

The new series will be virtually identical in format to the Channel 4 original, with Ramsay visiting a different restuarant in crisis each week in an attempt to turn around its fortunes.

Production will begin next month for an expected airing over the summer. Ramsay will precede the show with a third season of Hell's Kitchen - also for Fox - later this month for a spring airing on the network.

Back in the UK, Ramsay will film new series of Kitchen Nightmares and The F Word as part of his long-term deal with Channel 4.
