Ramsay on Edwina Currie: He said later:
"she's not an endearing character."
ACTRESS Amanda Barrie quit Hell's Kitchen yesterday after trying to slap chef Gordon Ramsay.
She told him she was "p***ed off" and would rather be home in bed eating fish and chips.
The 68-year-old Bad Girls star is the third celebrity to leave the reality TV show - and an insider said others were talking of following her out of the door.
Viewers also saw foul-mouthed Ramsay call Tory ex-Minister Edwina Currie "diseased" and "f***ing useless".
The row with Amanda came on Saturday after he accused her of "showing off". She snapped: "How bloody f***ing dare you!" and tried to hit him. But he grabbed her hand, saying: "Calm down."
At Jennifer Ellison's 21st party Amanda told James Dreyfus: "I thought, 'He needs a bloody good smack - he's gone too far'."
Next day Ramsay asked how she was feeling. She said: "Actually, chef, I have to tell you I'm p***ed off, chef. I would like to go home now and watch this show in bed with a bottle of champagne and fish and chips.
"I think I should get out of the way, chef, before I screw anything else up, chef."
Ramsay replied: "I admire your honesty and thank you. I really mean that."
She added: "I'm obviously not in control of myself around you. I'm either in tears or taking a whack at you." He told her: "Can I just say it was a bloody good shot."
Amanda's walkout follows athlete Dwain Chambers and veteran DJ Tommy Vance.
Ramsay said later: "The rules were broken and it turned nasty.
"I thought she did a phenomenal job. She worked bloody hard."
The row with Edwina erupted after he slammed her risotto and she twice told him to "shut up, you silly old man".
He ranted: "You shaft the rest, you f***ed the risotto and don't want me to say anything. Spineless. It's all a game to you isn't it? A little psychological headf**k. F**k me, she's f***ing useless."
In a second row he accidentally spat in her face. The ex-Health Minister said: "Don't spit at me, chef, it's really not healthy."
Ramsay said: "It won't make any f***ing difference to somebody so diseased."
He said later: "Edwina Currie in my opinion farts too high for her own a***hole... she's not an endearing character."
