Gordon Ramsay has joked that his new cooking show will be called Morse Code to explain away the bleeps that will cover his swearing.

The outspoken chef – known for turning the air blue – has a new ITV programme called Culinary Genius which will air during the day.

He told Radio Times: “Nobody told me it was daytime. I’ve never done that before.”

Asked if he would keep the expletives in check, Gordon, 50, quipped: “They’re going to have to call it Morse Code. Bleep bleep bleep!”

The cook said that when it comes to making television he likes to mix documentaries with “the big shiny-floor” projects.

He said: “I love documentaries. It’s really important for me to do a big passion project now and again.

“I do the big shiny-floor thing but every time I do one of those, I then need to do a documentary.

“And the next one is probably the toughest I’ve ever done. I can’t say much about it now but it involves wearing hidden cameras and it was hard.”

This week’s Radio Times is on sale on Tuesday.
