Gordon Ramsay's tax nightmares

Thu Nov 26 2009 13:41:23

Gordon Ramsay could face the closure of two of his restaurants over unpaid tax debts.

In court yesterday Ramsay was handed a two-week reprieve to pay debts on his Plane Food airport restaurant while he waited for a cheque to clear on his Maze restaurant in Mayfair.

Meanwhile the popular chef was busy signing copies of his latest cook book at Selfridges in London.

It has been a turbulent business year for the star of The F Word.

In July it was announced profits from Ramsay's UK restaurants plunged by nearly 90 per cent and in October he was forced to cancel his chef scholarship scheme.
