Gordon Ramsay could get unbelievable at times. And this time he shocked everyone when he claimed on American television that the Queen told him to F**k off.

The renowned chef appeared on The Late Show hosted by Stephen Colbert and recalled the incident that took place about a decade ago.

Getting a taste of his own medicine, Ramsay revealed on the show that the Queen was rather keen on getting rid of him while he was sharing space with her while receiving his OBE in 2006.

The host then asked if the ceremony with Her Majesty was a "sword situation", the 50-year-old replied: "No, that's when you get knighted."

He opened up about meeting the Queen and described the meeting to Colbert as "a little handshake and a polite f*** off". The chef relived the moment and told, "She sort of mutters it under her breath."

Did she really say so? If she did, it could have been an ironic situation for the chef.

Ramsay was on the show to promote his new series, The F Word, where he used the abusive word not once but twice. Pointing out the rules of American television, Colbert told Ramsay that he is not allowed to use the F-word on his show. But clearly, CBS made an exception for the chef. Ramsay responded to the warning with a laugh, "At 11:35 at a f**king night?!"

The Daily Mail UK noted the celebrity chef had vowed to quit swearing during an online chat with fans in February. But obviously, he couldn't keep up.

The Michelin-starred chef was also seen in a  sort of 'swear off' with actor Kevin Spacey in the new trailer for The F Word.
