He’s known for turning up the heat in the kitchen with his fiery personality.
And Gordon Ramsay sent temperatures soaring once again but this time for his hunky physique when he shared a shirtless picture on Instagram on Saturday.
The TV chef, 50, went shirtless to best showcase his taut abs and impeccable frame on the hot golden sands of Kailua, Hawaii.

The Hell’s Kitchen star swapped his chef whites for skimpy sports shorts when he relaxed on the beach, and it is no surprise the 6 foot 1 inch star commanded attention with his statuesque height.
Parading his incredible muscular figure, the hunk topped up his tan and sizzled under the sweltering sunshine.
Despite the blistering heat, the television sensation kept his cool and looked utterly relaxed as he eagerly watched the Ironman Triathlon.
Of the event, Gordon captioned the post, ‘One of the most incredible feelings ever sat in the water on the start line minutes before the cannon goes off.
‘Good luck to all the athletes taking part and a big thank you to all the supporters and helpers. Let the island come to you. Best wishes and race safe. Next year I’m coming back can’t wait.’
Honest: Gordon Ramsay has claimed no-one wants to talk about the ‘devastation’ caused by cocaine, but everyone wants to ‘f**king snort it’
In recent weeks, Gordon has sensationally claimed no-one wants to talk about the ‘devastation’ caused by cocaine but everyone wants to ‘f**king snort it’.
The TV chef aims to expose the sordid underbelly of the drug world in his upcoming ITV documentary, Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine.
And in a teaser clip from the two-part series, the 50-year-old admitted he didn’t realise just how prevalent the drug was – as he resorted to swabbing his own restaurants for the class A substance.

Talking to the camera, he says: ‘I knew it was going to be intense but not quite like this.’
‘Year on year, death after death. That’s the devastation I think. And yet, no-one wants to talk about it, but they all want to f**king snort it.’
He adds: ‘With soaring cocaine deaths in Britain and along the coke supply chain, I’m determined to understand the criminal business behind this deadly drug.’
To understand the scale of the problem, Gordon starts with his own restaurants, by swabbing the staff and customer toilets to see if cocaine is present – with alarming results.

He explains: ‘I didn’t know it was in this big. It’s a wake-up call. Right now I’m obviously concerned about the staff. 750 staff in London. That’s my responsibility.’
In another clip from the series, he claims cocaine use has become so commonplace that diners have even asked him to sprinkle the drug on their puddings.
Now the TV chef has warned that use of the Class A drug in his industry is ‘out of control’.

‘I saw cocaine quite early on in my career. I’ve been served it. I’ve been given it’, said Gordon.
‘I’ve had my hand shaken and left with little wraps of foil in it. I’ve been asked to dust cocaine on top of soufflés, to put it on as icing sugar… coke’s everywhere. It’s spiralling out of control.’
Another clip shows him visiting a coca farmer in Colombia who covers the leaves in cement powder, sulphuric acid, petroleum and battery acid as the farmer processes the drug.
The celebrity chef has witnessed the drug wreck the careers of colleagues, including close friend and protégé David Dempsey who fell to his death after having a bad reaction to cocaine in 2003.

Britain is Europe’s biggest cocaine customer — importing around 30 tonnes of the potentially lethal product every year.
‘I’ve cooked some serious s**t in my life but nothing quite on this level,’ the chef added.
He has also witnessed the drug wreck the careers of colleagues, including close friend and protégé David Dempsey who fell to his death after having a bad reaction to cocaine in 2003.
During the series Gordon will travel to South and Central America where he witnesses the illegal ‘cooking’ process by which the drug is made.

There he will meet hired assassins and a big time drug-smuggler, witness the immediate aftermath of a suspected cocaine-related murder and experience the harsh reality of the ‘war on drugs’ by joining an elite Colombian anti-narcotics unit on a helicopter raid.
Back in the UK, Gordon joins police looking to catch coke-taking drug-drivers, witnesses the arrest of couriers on their way to a major deal carrying tens of thousands of pounds and handles 30 kilos of freshly confiscated cocaine at a police testing lab.
And he reflects on the challenge of tackling the damage done by cocaine, regarded by many casual users as harmless fun, as he meets a UK dealer and a recovering addict.
