Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is on the hunt for struggling restaurants ahead of the next series of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.

Optomen Television, the production company behind the Channel 4 show, today issued a call for entrants, ahead of filming later this summer.

A spokeswoman for the company told Caterersearch: “Gordon Ramsay is back from the US and is keen to lend his help to struggling restaurants at home in the UK. 

“Gordon wants to give his expertise to all sorts of eateries – from big restaurants with large brigades to themed restaurants to chefs who are striving for great things but just can’t quite seem to get that Michelin star.”

In 2006, Ramsay – who opened his first Los Angeles restaurant earlier this week - scooped an Emmy for Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.

He won the non-scripted entertainment category from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
