Scottish celebrity chef and ballbuster extraordinaire Gordon Ramsay found his own balls in a bit of an uproar last week, when the foul-mouthed host accidentally caught his own gentalia on fire.

Ramsay found Hell's Kitchen was more than just a television show after all.

Ramsay, 40, openly discussed the incident at the GQ Awards, where he revealed he had to be rushed to a private London hospital after a loose-fitting pair of cotton trousers caught fire from the oven, or "hob" as he called it, and his "blocks" simply went up in flames:

"I was standing too close to the hob when I was cooking. I was wearing these cotton trousers, underneath I was going commando [sans underwear].

"Suddenly I felt this searing heat. My b**ocks were burning! I went to the hospital because of the excruciating pain.

"I had an ultrasound and I get the results on Friday."

Ramsay sheepishly admitted he was in "absolute agony" after the accident, and painfully aware some of the chef contestants he humiliated on his show were likely getting a good laugh.

The chef says he told friends the real reason behind his hospital visit was a knee injury. (c) tPC
