Merciless online trolls have fat-shamed Gordon Ramsay after his appearance on This Morning.
The notorious chef was laying waste to the studio kitchen, dazzling presenters Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes as he prepared a chicken traybake.
But this wasn’t the most noticeable thing to some shallow viewers.
Taking to social media, the 51-year-old was torn apart by fat-shamers who were perplexed by Ramsay’s appearance.

One scorned:
Has Gordon eaten his body weight in lard… or been attacked by a vicious nurse with a vat full of filler… that should be the new this morning comp…
Another jibed:
Well Gordon Ramsay has put on a few lbs! Is that really him?
A third laughed:
My star sign today forecast that I would be faced with something ‘truly shocking’. Me, I thought? Never. Then I saw Gordon Ramsay’s ‘haircut’. Shocking doesn’t quite do it justice.
It wasn’t all bad, however, some fans came to the defence of poor-old Gordon.
One beamed:
Gordon Ramsay is looking so gorgeous these days. God, I love him.
Another agreed:
Never thought I would say this but Gordon is looking dishy.
It’s ironic, given that Ramsay claimed fat-shaming helped motivate him get into shape, the Daily Record reports.
He said:
I was 17st… aged 34, I needed to get my s*** together. My father died of a heart attack at 53 and would still be living today had he taken care of himself.
The pressure on a chef is far greater than ever before because of image. If you walk into the dining room to talk to customers, you cannot be out of shape and sweating like a pig.
Chin up, Gordon. Don’t let these f****** c*** get you f****** down.
