For Gordon Ramsay, the past few weeks have been like living in his very own Kitchen Nightmare. Only it has extended beyond his kitchen and into every other room of his house. Like an unwatched pot, the TV chef's personal and professional life has boiled over in spectacular fashion, leaving the mother of all cleaning-up jobs.

Not that anyone is rushing to pull on the Marigolds; quite the contrary. In typical fashion, Ramsay has heaped more coals this weekend on to a fire he lit three weeks ago when he sacked his father-in-law, Chris Hutcheson. Specifically, he claimed his wife Tana has much to learn about what her father gets up to when not running restaurants, lashing out after his wife's parents wrote to their daughter, urging her to dump the man she married 14 years ago, aged 22.

The father of four was in combative form last week. Barely days after claiming he wouldn't be talking to the press about the farce enveloping his globe-spanning business empire, Gordon Ramsay Holdings (GRH), the chef penned an extraordinary open letter to his mother-in-law, Greta Hutcheson. He used it to heap innuendo on her husband's "complex" private life that left "many of my key staff feeling they have had to cover on his behalf". Ramsay, 44, who admitted hiring a private detective to follow Mr Hutcheson, added: "His away days were rarely what I thought they were." As if the insinuations weren't character assassination enough, Ramsay went on to denounce Hutcheson as a "manipulating and controlling... dictator". He also asked Mrs Hutcheson to stop "punishing" her daughter.
