In the clip from his new competition series Future Food Stars – which begins on BBC One at 9pm this evening (31 March) – Ramsay can be seen jumping out of a helicopter into the sea and furiously swimming towards a group of disbelieving contestants.
Future Food Stars will see a group of entrepreneurs compete for a £150,000 investment in their food or drink business.
Gordon Ramsay has been ridiculed by viewers after the over-the-top opening scene of his new cooking show was shared online.
Posting the footage on Twitter, TV critic and broadcaster Scott Bryan wrote: “This is the opening to that new Gordon Ramsay bonkers new food Apprentice show I was telling you about.”
