Women "can't cook to save their lives", celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has said.

Angela Hartnett, head chef at the Ramsay's The Connaught in Mayfair and a Michelin-starred chef, defended his comments. She said they were based on a survey for a TV programme which claimed 75% of women asked admitted they could not cook.

The show kicks off and we get a visit from a friendly member of staff who warns us that in case Gordon comes over and asks us if we can cook, we must say that we're absolutely useless in the kitchen.
