Gordon Ramsay has been branded a "low-life" by the Australian Prime Minister for insulting a popular TV host.
PM Kevin Rudd slammed the celebrity chef for allegedly calling Tracy Grimshaw a lesbian and comparing her to a pig during a live cookery show in Melbourne.
Ramsay had been interviewed by Grimshaw on her TV show, prior to making the comments.
Grimshaw later used her show to publically hit back at Ramsay's comments calling him an "arrogant narcissist".

She said: "His intention was to make a joke and indeed he did raise a big laugh at the time.
"However, with hindsight he realises that his comments were inappropriate and offensive to Tracy Grimshaw, and he has unreservedly apologised both to her and anybody else who may have been upset."
