Celebrity chef and all-round angry man Gordon Ramsay is on the receiving end of a lawsuit after a wine merchant in the US claims he racked up more than £27,000 ($40,000) in unpaid bills.

Mr Ramsay used the Wineberry America merchant to supply his prestigious restaurant in Manhattan’s London hotel. In the lawsuit, the wine merchant claims he was ‘fraudulently induced’ to supply the two-Michelin-starred restaurant with alcohol, also believing that Ramsay never intended to pay for any of it from the start.

Ramsay made a statement to the press saying that all unpaid bills will be sorted out and paid as soon as possible.
