Many people would think Gordon Ramsay isn't scared of anyone, but the Michelin star chef revealed Vladimir Putin is the most intimidating person he has ever cooked for.
The Hell's Kitchen star is famed for his fiery outbursts and foul mouthed rants revealed that the experience of cooking for the Russian president gave him serious anxiety.
The celebrity chef cooked for Putin alongside then Prime Minister Tony Blair at a lunch in Downing Street in 2000 and was so scared he'd give the duo food poisoning when preparing their meal.
He said: "I remember being invited to Downing Street to cook for Tony Blair and President Putin.
"I genuinely did s*** myself. I was thinking 'Could you imagine if you food poisoned these two. Could you imagine the kind of s*** I would get if I took these two down.'
"It was quite an extraordinary experience. I was standing in between them to say hello and they were asking me about the English asparagus and I'm thinking 'Get me the f*** out of here, I'm done.'"
During an appearance on the Kelly Clarkson show, Ramsay said he was surprised by the lack of space and kitchen utensils at Downing Street.
He added: "After I had finished with them I had to go upstairs and cook for the two first ladies in this tiny little flat.
"You had to take your own pots and pans. In Downing Street you would expect a proper kitchen but we were loading in pots and pans."
Ramsay took sous chefs Angela Hartnell from Petrus and Mark Sargeant from Gordon Ramsay Restaurant along with him to help prepare the lunch.

poisoned Russian dissident Alexei Navalny premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday. Called “Navalny,” it’s a no-holds-barred indictment of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin, and insists that Navalny’s close brush with death was the result of a secret state-run operation to assassinate him.“As I became more and more famous guy, I was totally sure that my life became safer and safer because I am kind of famous guy — and it will be problematic for them just to kill me,” Navalny, 45, says in the film. “I was very wrong.” The doc, heading to HBO Max, was added at the last minute to the Sundance slate just as Putin had stationed more than 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border.
