Ramsay vs. Beckham: Hot Sauce Showdown!

Gordon Ramsay could be set to go to war with , as it's been reported he's planning to launch his own rival hot sauce.

The celebrity chef, 59, has already sparked the ire of the eldest Beckham child, 27, after wading into his bitter family feud with parents David and Victoria.

Gordon and his wife Tana have been close friends with the footballer, 51, and the fashion designer, 52, for more than two decades and their son Jack was Brooklyn's closest childhood friend.

However, he now risks widening the Beckham rift even further, after reportedly trademarking his brand, Hotter Than Hell by Gordon Ramsay, in preparation to sell as a hot sauce.

Hotter Than Hell is a signature high-spice flavour profile used by Gordon in several of his restaurants, which features a specially formulated sauce, salsa, and relish designed to add intense heat.

According to The Sun, he is now putting plans in motion to sell the sauce directly to the public, which will put him in direct competition with Brooklyn's own hot sauce brand, Cloud23.

'If Gordon is launching his own sauce he'll be going up against Brooklyn in that market,' a source told the publication. 'Things will get spicy if they end up clashing over it.'

Brooklyn launched Cloud23 back in 2024, named after the No.23 jersey his now-estranged father wore at Real Madrid and LA Galaxy.

Priced at a steep £15 a bottle, the condiment comes in two flavours, Hot Habanero and Sweet Jalapeno, while he also released a range of clothing merchandise.

The budding chef previously said he'd spent two and a half years working on his 'passion project' and that he'd 'literally put everything into it', insisting: 'I've never worked so hard on anything in my life.'

Explaining why he was drawn to launching a range of hot sauces, Brooklyn told Delish magazine at the time: 'I did my research and I just felt like there was this hole in the market with luxury condiments, especially for a really good price.'

Tensions between Brooklyn and Gordon are already at a high, after the restauranteur came to the defence of pals Victoria and David after Brooklyn made his scathing six-page statement in January, publicly cutting all ties to his family.

In February, Gordon spoke out to refute several of the claims Brooklyn made about his parents and urged him to 'remember where he came from'.

Blaming the bitter feud on the influencer's 'infatuation' with wife Nicola Peltz, he insisted that both David and Victoria have been outstanding parents to all four of their children.

But, Gordon added that he has maintained a strong bond with Brooklyn despite the rift and said he believes it will only be 'a matter of time' before he comes to 'understand just what his parents mean to him'. 

'Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit, our relationship is solid. I love him – his heart is incredible,' he told The Sun.

'But it's hard, isn't it, when you're infatuated? Love is blind. It's easy to get up on that rollercoaster, and get carried away. But it will come back.

'I've seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David as a dad is just incredible. They've both put so much energy into their kids, and I know just how many times they've got Brooklyn out of the s***.

'I think it's going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.'

The father-of-six also issued a direct warning to Brooklyn, reminding him that his parents wouldn't be around forever.

'He's desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It's such a good thing to do,' he said. 

'But remember where you came from. And honestly, one day you're not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop.'

Gordon was also adamant that close friend David would eventually find a way to build bridges with his eldest son, whose decision to walk away from his family has resulted in Victoria developing a closer bond with his wife Tana.

He said: 'Time's going to be the best healer, and David will absolutely get that relationship back on track.

'Victoria and Tana have spoken a lot. They are probably closer than ever – they're like two peas in a pod, those two. She has offered lots of support.' 

He, Tana and their children were among the 500 guests who attended Brooklyn's wedding to billionaire heiress Nicola at her family's sprawling Miami compound in 2022.

But Gordon refuted the former photographer's claim that his mother was responsible for publicly embarrassing him and leaving his bride in floods of tears by forcing her out of a pre-arranged wedding dance at their lavish reception. 

He staunchly denied: 'We were there at the wedding. There was nothing salacious. There was nothing inappropriate. Everyone was having fun, having a dance.'

Rubbishing persistent rumours that Victoria danced inappropriately - a subject that went viral following the release of Brooklyn's statement - he added: 'No! Nothing of the sort. It was fun.

'I haven't seen any of the memes, I heard about them of course, but Victoria's got a great sense of humour. She's great. She's right to be upset, but she can bat that other s*** away in a heartbeat.'

But despite Gordon maintaining their relationship had stayed 'solid', Brooklyn was seemingly infuriated by his comments.

He made his displeasure known by quickly unfollowing the TV chef on Instagram - though he stopped short of blocking him outright, like he did with his parents and brothers.

Friends of the Ramsays told Daily Mail at the time that they suspected Brooklyn and Nicola were furious that Gordon had as discussed the feud in a way that portrays them negatively.

They said: 'Brooklyn and Nicola clearly don't want any criticism at all. They just don't want to hear any negativity about themselves.

'They must hate being talked about unless it's gushing. Maybe they don't like the truth.'
