Gordon Ramsay would never employ a fat person - because they are not fit enough to work at one of his restaurants.
The TV chef has attacked overweight chefs and waiters insisting they are not healthy enough to cope with stress of working in top eateries, like the ones he owns.
He fumed to Britain’s Radio 2: "You shouldn’t be fat as a chef. It’s hard to spend all your time in a hot, busy kitchen when you are overweight.
"The amount of time you spend on your feet as a waiter or a chef you should be fit and healthy. It’s physically demanding. You don’t get fat footballers." Ramsay admits he started to pile on the pounds at one point because he was continually snacking on the calorific dishes he made at his restaurants, but after becoming disgusted with himself he decided to do something about it.
He added: "I was a fat chef. When my wife was pregnant with twins she was miserable because she was putting on weight and I overindulged to compensate for her. I got very irritable.
"I had to do something about it. I’m on my eighth marathon now. When I started there were just a few other people from the business who joined me now there’s around 37 of us."
