CORRECTED: Australian deputy PM at boiling point over Ramsay rant
Tracy Grimshaw
The British cook attacked Nine Network's "A Current Affair" presenter Tracy Grimshaw at a Melbourne cooking expo on Saturday  the day after she interviewed him.
In front of thousands of onlookers  Ramsay suggested Grimshaw was a lesbian and needed "to see Simon Cowell's botox doctor."
He also showed a picture of a woman apparently naked on all fours with the face of a pig and said "that's Tracy Grimshaw." His publicist has since said the comments were a joke and not intended to cause offence.
Grimshaw also hit back at the "Hell's Kitchen" supremo  labelling him an "arrogant narcissist" on her current affairs show on Monday night.
She said there was nothing funny about Ramsay's insults  which had upset her friends and family  including her mother.
"Truly  I wonder how many people would laugh if they were effectively described as an old  ugly pig " she said  adding that she had agreed not to probe Ramsay over an extra-marital affair when he appeared on the show.
Grimshaw said she initially considered not responding to Ramsay's comments but decided she had to stand up for herself.
"We all know that bullies thrive when no one takes them on and I'm not going to sit meekly and let some arrogant narcissist bully me " she said.
"Obviously Gordon thinks that any woman who doesn't find him attractive must be gay " she added. "For the record  I don't. And I'm not."
