Foul-mouthed Ramsay's mobile woe

( 23/06/2009 )

Motormouth Gordon Ramsay was on the wrong end of a ticking off for once, as police stopped him for using a mobile while driving his Ferrari.

The combustible chef, who is usually the one dishing out the advice, was pulled over yesterday afternoon by officers on Vauxhall Bridge Road.

According to the Mirror newspaper, 42-year-old Ramsay came to a stop in front of a crowd of amused schoolchildren and was issued with a fixed penalty notice - which he accepted, despite the paper suggesting the chef had been plugging his mobile into a charger.

A witness told the Mirror: "He was just driving along when the police suddenly turned on their lights.

"When he got out of the car they wrote him out a ticket.

"The schoolchildren seemed to find it really funny."

It's not the first time that Ramsay has had a run-in with the law while at the wheel.

The chef was arrested and charged with drink-driving in 2002 after allegedly driving his BMW the wrong way up a Westminster one-way street.

However, the charge was dropped the next day due to a "procedural error by police", according to the BBC.
