Gordon Ramsay almost throws up after what he's served on MasterChef US
Gordon Ramsay has experienced more Kitchen Nightmares than most - but the latest cooking catastrophe he endured is one he won't be forgetting anytime soon.
The celebrity chef, 59, dropped his trademark F-bomb after finding an extremely gross object nestled in the grub that was served up to him.
He's currently a judge on the 16th season of the American version of MasterChef and this series has taken on a bit of a twist.
Chefs who think they have culinary skills that can impress the judges - Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Tiffany Derry - are each competing to earn the MasterChef title, trophy, and $250,000 grand prize.

In this series, known as MasterChef: Global Gauntlet, the contestants are each representing four global territories - Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Americas.
And in the latest episode, viewers watched as the foodies whipped up a dish suitable for a sports stadium which also represented their heritage, given the 2026 World Cup is on the horizon.
Former model Nora, 35, was representing team Africa on the show and decided to create a haddock and maakouda sandwich, accompanied by chermoula mayo and Mediterranean salad, for the judges.
However, she also snuck in another unwanted ingredient into the sarnie - which left the likes of Ramsay almost spewing up.
During the task, Nora admitted she was 'very overwhelmed' and said she was 'running around like a chicken with her head cut off'.
"I'm running to get tomatoes, then I'm running back to get olives," she told viewers of MasterChef: Global Gauntlet. "My brain is just not braining."
Right on cue, she then cut her finger on the sharp knife she was using to chop up her ingredients, so she grabbed a plaster from the show medic before carrying on with her dish.
"A lot of things are going on, it's chaos all over the kitchen, no one wants to be the first person to leave the competition," Nora said.
She really did put the chaos in the kitchen that day - as she then had to alert the medic again to inform them her plaster had fallen off, before she then burnt her hand.
As Nora then waited for Ramsay, Bastianich and Derry to deliver their verdict on what she had whipped up, she uttered some words which soon came back to bite her.
"I'm feeling overwhelmed because I didn't have enough time to make my plate a little more neat or pretty," the chef said. "But I'm confident in the flavours. You never know, there's always plot twists, right?"
Famous last words is all I'll say...take a look at this:
Derry pointed out the plate sporting the tasty sounding sandwich had 'confusing presentation', while Ramsay dove right in and took a bite of it.
Just moments after he chowed down on Nora's dish, Derry then raised the alarm that she had spotted something that really shouldn't be on a dinner plate - Nora's used plaster.
Needless to say, Ramsay coughed and spluttered after being left disgusted by what he had almost consumed, as he said in shock: "We're eating bandaids now. What the f**k is going on?"
Nora apologised for the huge slip-up and admitted she had 'lost one' of the plasters she was provided to protect her cuts, adding: "I thought it fell on the floor."
But the damage had already been done - and the judges of MasterChef: Global Gauntlet didn't mince their words when it came to addressing the error.
"I'm done," Derry added. "I'm going to be honest, I don't know how to go from here. There's a lot of things wrong with the dish already...and then to find a bandage?"
Nora was ultimately eliminated from the cooking show and told fans despite the mammoth mistake she made, she is still 'proud' of her efforts.
Speaking of being given the boot, she said: "I served a bandage to Gordon Ramsay, what do I expect? Beyond the bandage, I was not satisfied with how I executed the dish, but I’m still proud of myself."
