Gordon Ramsay signs massive deal to front Burger King advert
Ramsay was spotted filming the commercial on July 8 outside a Burger King branch in Reading, Berkshire, close to the Madejski Stadium. According to The Sun, the campaign will play on his famously bombastic personality, something fans know well from his TV shows like Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef US.
'As someone who has a reputation for being fiery, he seemed like the perfect choice for a restaurant whose products are famous for being flame grilled,' a TV insider told the outlet.
Ramsay's partnership with Burger King is a high-profile addition to his already impressive career. With an estimated net worth of £176 million, he remains one of the most recognisable chefs globally. However, he recently admitted that fame comes at a price. In an interview with The Times, he shared, 'Fame brings nonstop attention… I can put on a cap and dark glasses in the UK, but over there [in the US], the moment you open your mouth they recognise the accent.'
Despite the glitz, Ramsay still shies away from certain aspects of his culinary empire. He revealed on The Savoy Originals podcast that he has only dined at his Michelin-starred Restaurant Gordon Ramsay twice in 25 years. 'It's too posh for me,' he said, noting that while the restaurant is special for guests, it's not his style to be on the receiving end of such indulgence.
Whether it's commanding a kitchen or stealing scenes in an ad, Ramsay's flame shows no signs of flickering out.

Conor McGregor seen again with mystery woman after beach kiss after Dee Devlin's response
Former UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been spotted once again with the mystery woman he was previously seen kissing on a beach, just days after his fiancée Dee Devlin posted a low-key birthday message in response to the controversy. -Backgrid As reported by The Sun, McGregor was seen dining with the same woman at Padrino's Cuban Restaurant in Florida on July 13, during his 37th birthday celebrations. McGregor, wearing a bright turquoise outfit and trilby hat, and the woman, dressed in a navy top and jeans, appeared together for the meal. However, they left the restaurant separately just a few moments apart. The sighting followed the release of photos showing McGregor kissing the woman on a beach, prompting speculation about the nature of their relationship — particularly given his long-time engagement to Devlin. The couple, together for over 16 years, got engaged in 2020. Devlin, who has stood by McGregor through past legal battles, has not addressed the situation publicly, but shared a birthday post on her private Instagram story, writing: 'Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.' The controversy deepened when rapper Azealia Banks leaked explicit images of McGregor on social media, alleging he had sent them to her via direct message on X (formerly Twitter). While McGregor issued a response to Banks' claims, he has not commented on the identity of the woman or the repeated sightings. McGregor previously faced legal scrutiny in a 2023 trial in Ireland, where he was found liable for sexually assaulting a woman in a Dublin hotel in 2018. Devlin publicly supported him throughout the proceedings. Neither McGregor nor Devlin have made further statements about the recent events, but the second public appearance with the mystery woman has continued to fuel speculation.

Cierra Ortega was reportedly ‘very upset' and ‘tried to apologise' before removal from 'Love Island USA'
Cierra Ortega was 'very upset' and 'tried to apologise' after being told by Love Island USA producers she had to leave the villa. Her exit followed the resurfacing of a social media post that included a racial slur. The post, allegedly from Cierra's Instagram Story, was widely circulated by viewers who called for her immediate removal. A production source told The Sun, 'She didn't want to leave the show and tried to apologise for what she did. We decided that apologies aren't enough for topics like this.' Producers made the decision swiftly, with the insider explaining, 'Cierra was against leaving the show at first, and thought an apology would be enough, but it doesn't work like this.' Cierra's exit reportedly caused significant tension within the villa. Some contestants demanded explanations, while others asked producers to consider alternatives. However, production held firm. 'We can't have a bad image and allow people to use such unacceptable words,' the insider said. Cierra has not issued a direct statement, but her parents posted on her Instagram account expressing regret and condemning the threats she has received. 'We understand why people are upset, and we know accountability matters,' they wrote. This incident marks the second time this season a contestant was removed for racism-related issues, reinforcing the show's zero-tolerance stance. Narrator Iain Stirling addressed the departure on air, noting Cierra had left due to a 'personal situation.'
