Gordon Ramsay was so cold during a recent trip to Norway his testicles froze.

The foul-mouthed chef went diving for Giant King Crabs as part of his show 'The F Word' and the cold water had a chilling effect on his genitals.

He told Britain's Closer magazine: "I was in Norway recently diving for Giant King Crabs for the show. It was minus 25 degrees. We came back and I was freezing my nuts off - I swear to God there were ice cubes in my ball bag.

"I won't be opening a restaurant in Norway - it took tree days for my balls to defrost."

Gordon is currently searching Britain to find a new Fanny Craddock.

He is on the lookout for a female culinary genius to rival the legendary chef.

Gordon said: "We've got an amazing project coming up. We are searching the country for a new Fanny."

[to our American readers-there is a planted joke here by Ramsay and the English writers for BANG Showbiz-"fanny" to the English really means p*ssy to them.]

Come on, lighten up. This is Gordon's typical way of talking - he wouldn't expect his words to be taken literally - except by americans perhaps, who are a few sandwiches short of a picnic when it comes to irony

'Americans, apparently, don't get irony, satire, or nuance -- beyond someone getting a boot to the balls. That's what the British think. Ricky Gervais thinks that's crazy. And he should know, being pretty much the funniest man in all of England. ''There's this fallacy that Americans don't understand comedy,'' he says. ''It's ludicrous! They do it better than us. The influences on 'The Office' are as much American as British.'''

We think fanny means bum-the insight was helpful!
