Last month, the culinary star revealed he's set to make his debut as a prime time game show host, as part of a new deal inked with the BBC.

'It is such an intense game with so much jeopardy to win big and lose even bigger, where the difference between failure and success is always in the balance.
'I'm so happy to be working with the fantastic team at the BBC and cannot wait to get in the studio and start stacking those gold bars!'
A press release describes Bank Balance as 'a high-stakes, high-pressure, game show where contestants need both knowledge and nerves to succeed, where they can literally build themselves a fortune or see it come crashing down in an instant'.
Kate Phillips, Controller of Entertainment Commissioning at the BBS said in a statement: 'It's fantastic to have Gordon on board hosting this new prime time game show. It promises to test nerve, accuracy and knowledge as well as entertain you.'
Production on the game show is scheduled to kick off later this year.

The father-of-five worked for free last year after deciding not to take any salary from his company's profits.
Gordon is the director of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Ltd which includes eateries such as his three Michelin star Restaurant Gordon Ramsay.
A report filed to Companies House now shows that the chef didn't take any director's dividend from the profits which totalled £11.9million last year, reportsThe Sun.
The restaurateur has an estimated worth of £200million and this was the second year he didn't take any dividend. However his fellow director Andy Wenlock was paid a wage of £417,000.
He also put in £7.4million of his own money as a 'loan' according to the report and has given 'personal guarantees totalling £5 million in respect of the Group's banking facility'.
