Gordon Ramsay apologises for comparing Jennifer Lopez's bum to a burger

Gordon Ramsay took to Twitter to say 'sorry' to Jennifer Lopez after he compared a burger to her bum.

The celebrity chef, 55, made his cheeky quip on his new show, Next Level Chef, and fans on social media couldn't help but laugh over his comment.

In the video, the father-of-five is heard saying: "There's more juice in there than J-Lo's butt."

The Hell's Kitchen star responded to his remark on the show, tweeting in view of his 7.5 million followers: "It's true….if only you tasted it.

“Sorry @JLo #NextLevelChef.”

It wasn't long before fans took to Twitter to have a go at the chef for his cheeky jig at J-Lo.

"Tana… come get your man. He’s out of the house again," One said.

And one added: "You tasted @JLo 's but before?"

Oone said: "I thought it was hilarious. At least he didn't say it's as huge...."

"TBH, if I had the choice between the burger and J.Lo’s butt, I’d probably eat J.Lo’s butt," said another.

"My man @GordonRamsay upping his commentary game," one added.

Next Level Chef, which is being co-produced by Gordon's production company Studio Ramsay, premiered on January 2.

Unlike his previous programmes, the show sees a mixture of home chefs, social media stars, food truck owners and line cooks competing against one another.

Gordon is joined by celebrity chefs Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais, who will offer a 12-month mentorship to the winning contestant on top of receiving the $250,000 (£184,500) grand prize.

He expressed his decision to blend professional and independent chefs on his latest TV project during a virtual FOX summit in December.

"It's the first time that we've ever put social media chefs, amateur chefs, and professional chefs into the same arena," he shared.

"After our first big challenge, one of the professional chefs, a phenomenal young cook out of New York, turned around and said, 'I have a new-found respect for social media chefs.'

"Gone are the days that you think they are just creating pictures that no one is tasting."
