Queen 'gave me a handshake and told me to F**K OFF' when I got OBE, reveals Gordon Ramsay

And the TV chef’s legendary potty-mouth appears to be famous at even the highest echelons of society.

The 50-year-old star joked the Queen gave him a “handshake and polite f**k off” after he was handed his OBE.

Ramsay was questioned on Friday about the honour, which he received in Scotland in 2006, by Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

When asked if the occasion amounted to a “sword situation”, the Kitchen Nightmares star responded: “No, that’s when you get knighted.

“OBE is under that so it’s sort of a little handshake and a polite f**k off.

“She sort of mutters it under her breath.”

Colbert revealed guests are not typically allowed to use the F-word on the Late Show, but broadcaster CBS made an exception for Ramsay.

But this did not wash with the foul-mouthed chef, who responded: “At 11:35 at a f**king night?!”

Later in the clip, the star gushed about Gordon’s food, exclaiming: “This is f***ing good.”

“Of course it’s gonna be f***ing good,” the famously potty-mouthed chef replied, before Kevin chipped in: “Alright, I’m just saying it’s f***ing, f***ing, f***ing good!”
