Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has been diagnosed with an ulcer after trying to help desperate restaurant owners revive their flagging fortunes and save them from financial ruin. The foul-mouthed TV cook insists his efforts to turn struggling restaurants around as part of hit show Kitchen Nightmares have left him ill.

He explains, "You can't just be too blase with this. It's highly emotional, packed with jeopardy. This is their livelihood at stake!

"I have an ulcer. I only got told recently. No wonder."

Ramsey is also the host of another hit restaurant show, Hell's Kitchen.
