Gordon Ramsay‘s fan-favourite TV series Hell’s Kitchen is set for a major reboot – which could see him open even more restaurants following his skin cancer scare.
The no-nonsense talking chef, 58, hosted the UK version of the hugely successful format on ITV, which ran between 2004 and 2009.
However, Gordon starred in just the first series before Gary Rhodes, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Marco Pierre White took over.
Despite this, his foul-mouthed remarks and savage put down of the celebrity contestants are still shared on social media today.
He’s remained on the US version, which launched after the UK’s debut and has now been airing for 20 years, becoming a fixture on American television.
Now, it’s reported the series is set for a major reboot on British TV that will see Gordon back at the helm.

Gordon is also believed to have trademarked the Hell’s Kitchen name in the UK, paving the way for him to open a string of more restaurants on the back of the show.
An insider told The Sun: ‘Fans of the show will be doubly thrilled by the prospect of the competition coming back and being able to dine in a Hell’s Kitchen restaurant over here.
‘Business-savvy Gordon has watched as the popularity of Hell’s Kitchen in the US has helped bring in thousands of customers to his restaurants.
‘The programme is broadcast in more than 100 countries around the world so between tourists visiting Britain and developing a whole new audience for the telly contest in the UK, it’s an incredibly smart move on his part.’
Daily Mail has contacted ITV and representatives of Gordon for comment.
The news comes as Gordon revealed to fans on Saturday he has undergone surgery to remove Basal Cell Carcinoma, a form of skin cancer.
He shared pictures of his stitched up face on Instagram on Saturday and said he is ‘grateful’ for removing the cancer fast.
Gordon also warned fans the importance of wearing sunscreen to prevent any form of skin cancer.

He wrote: ‘Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this Basal Cell Carcinoma thank you ! Please don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend ❤️I promise you it’s not a face lift! I’d need a refund…….’
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, which develops in the top layer of the skin (epidermis). They usually grow slowly, and they rarely spread to other parts of the body.
As per the NHS, Basal cell carcinomas can occur anywhere on the body but are most common in areas that are exposed to the sun such as your face, head, neck, and ears.
Most Basal cell carcinomas are removed surgically, and the lesion is sent to the lab, to be examined under the microscope. It may take two to three weeks for the results of the biopsy to be sent back to the consultant.
If all the cancer has been completely removed or treated, you should view yourself as ‘cured’.
Gordon’s celebrity pals, friends and fans rushed to the comments to send their well wishes.
There are three types of skin cancer. Each can present itself in different ways. These include moles that are either asymmetrical or abnormal, scaly or dark patches and waxy bumps on the surface of the skin
