Gordon Ramsay quits Kitchen Nightmares

Fiery chef Gordon Ramsay is to quit his hit show Kitchen Nightmares.

The foul mouthed Scottish chef has become a massive hit on both sides of the Atlantic with the programme which was first aired on Channel Four ten year ago.

He said the current show which he is filming called Costa Del Nightmares, will be his last and he is ready to move on to other projects.

Ramsay said the series “propelled” his career and watched by tens of millions around the world and sold to over 150 countries.

During the ten years, he filmed in 99 cities in Britain and America helping out 123 restaurants. He took to his Twitter account to confirm the news.
He wrote:

As filming comes to a close on the latest series of Kitchen Nightmares I’ve decided to stop making the show.
I’m currently filming four new episodes, Costa Del Nightmares, for Channel 4 which will be my last.  I’ve had a phenomenal ten years making 123 episodes, 12 seasons, shot across two continents, watched by tens of millions of people and sold to over 150 countries. It’s been a blast but it’s time to call it a day.
Starting in 2004 this was the show that really propelled my TV career and I’m very grateful for the amazing team behind the series and for the support from the viewers for almost over a decade!

From the first episode which aired in April 2004 with over five million viewers we’re now 12 seasons later and it’s been an amazing journey.

In 2007 we took the show to America on Fox and they’ve just finished airing series seven this summer. During this time I’ve visited over 100 restaurants, meeting and trying to help or in some cases failing to help, some of the most weird and wonderful people.

Ramsay went on to thank all the people who have supported him and people he has helped – even if they sometimes did not like his brunt ways!

He added: “I’m glad I’ve been able to entertain and hopefully help a few people along the way. It’s sad to say goodbye to Kitchen Nightmares but I’ll be continuing with my other shows. It’s been memorable! Thank you for watching.”
