From insulting professional rivals like Jamie Oliver to contestants on his TV show — and even a female presenter — Ramsay is no stranger to commenting on anyone else’s weight.

In 2009, Ramsay accused Australian television host Tracy Grimshaw of making an anti-feminist insult.
Speaking at the Melbourne Good Food and Wine Show, she showed a fake photo of a naked woman with multiple breasts and the face of a pig, announcing that it depicted Miss Grimshaw, who had interviewed her the previous night.
“That’s Tracy Grimshaw,” he said. ‘I had an interview with him yesterday, holy crap. She needs to see Simon Cowell’s Botox doctor.’
He was criticized by both the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. Ramsay then appeared on TV to make a lengthy apology, saying: ‘It was never a personal attack. It was executed in a funny way. This morning I had my mother’s call, she was disappointed. If someone called my wife a pig, I would have put out their lights.’

In 2012, Ramsay opened a restaurant in LA called The Fat Cow. His PR team tried to deny it unambiguously, saying it was an insult: ‘Cow is something we eat all the time, but don’t appreciate it, so the restaurant’s title is just a gesture. ‘
Just a few months ago, Ramsay called Hell’s Kitchen contestant Sarah Horowitz a ‘fat cow’ on camera. She even called him a ‘fat mouth stupid little b****’.

White said in his autobiography that he ‘broke’ Ramsay and brought tears to his eyes. Years later, the two men came to Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck restaurant for lunch on the same day—and Ramsay criticized White’s weight.
White said Ramsay went up to her and said: ‘You’re fat******. I always wanted to call you that.’ White commented: ‘I said, “What’s the best you can do?” ‘
Jamie Oliver
In 2017 Ramsay spent a week as the host of the short-lived The Nightly Show on ITV. At the end of his term, he read a spoof apology to rival Jamie Oliver.
It ran: ‘I just want to say I’m sorry. I’ve been hard on you this week, Jamie.
‘I’ve called you fat, I’ve criticized your restaurant, called you fat, said you enjoyed prison sex, and called you fat.
‘What I said was hurtful, Jamie. I don’t want to make you cry. The last thing I want to do is look at your cute face and think: Blubber, blubber, blubber.’
Oliver replied: ‘I was doing TV years before him, so maybe five years ago it would have bothered me. He has four kids and I have five kids and I don’t want the father of some kids to be slapped on TV. This is not good.’
Ramsay said in 2012 that Oliver “needs a good wash” and said he was not surprised that his show Food Revolution was canceled after two seasons on the air in the US.
“You have to be very careful when you want to instruct Americans about healthy eating,” Ramsay said. ‘If you yourself are not in that best shape, you have to be very careful.’

I am not happy to be humiliated. My friends call and laugh that I’ve been called a fat idiot, but now I’ll be known as – I’m a fat idiot from The Granary.’
