Gordon Ramsay has played down the remarks

Gordon Ramsay represents a ‘new form of low life’, according to the Australian Prime Minister.

Kevin Rudd hit out at the Kitchen Nightmares star after he made insulting remarks about the country’s TV sweetheart Tracy Grimshaw.

Gordon likened the chat show host, 49, to a pig at a Melbourne food event on Saturday.

Tracy, who interviewed the 42-year-old on Friday, has responded, saying he's an ‘arrogant narcissist’ and ‘a bully’.

But Gordon insists his comments were blown out of proportion.

‘It was just a joke,’ his spokeswoman tells Australian newspaper the Herald Sun.
