BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Australian TV chef Gordon Ramsay has outraged hundreds of people, including women's groups, after he called country's leading journalist a "lesbian pig" at a food show.

    He made the comment while giving a demonstration at a food show in Melbourne Saturday attended by about 3,000 people. His comment followed an uneventful appearance on journalist Tracy Grimshaw's show Friday night.

    He told his audience that current affairs presenter Grimshaw, was "a lesbian" and "an ugly old pig". He then showed the audience an image of a woman doctored with the features of a pig.

    "That's Grimshaw," he told the shocked audience. "Holy crap. She needs to see a Botox doctor."

    Grimshaw, though, retaliated on her program Monday night, calling Ramsay an "arrogant narcissist" and a "bully."

    "Obviously Gordon thinks that any woman who doesn't find him attractive must be gay," Grimshaw said. "For the record, I don't and I'm not."

    Grimshaw continued her attack Tuesday in a radio interview during which she said Ramsay would not be invited back on her program.
