'Hell's Kitchen' Host Gordon Ramsay's Legal Battle Continues Four Years After Filing Suit Against 'Ransay's'

Chef Gordon Ramsay's legal troubles just keep on piling up as the "Hell's Kitchen" host's proprietary lawsuit against "Ransay" restaurant has dragged on for four years with no end in sight.

The chef and reality tv host took the owners of the restaurant in Puerto Colon to court after reportedly using his name into attracting customers.

"The restaurant, which serves full English breakfasts and 'the coldest pint in town', said at the time it had been paying Mr Ramsay to use his name," said MailOnline.

"Four years later, the restaurant is still thriving despite Mr Ramsay's protestations, with customers leaving reviews for its service online as recently as in October," it added.

"Hell's Kitchen" host Gordon Ramsay said in the court filing: "We get thousands of complaints about this restaurant called Gordon Ramsay in Tenerife selling a full English with extra bacon at 4.95 Euros."

Meanwhile, a rep for "Hell's Kitchen" host Gordon Ramsay told the British tabloid that they will not drop their proprietary claim against Ransay's until the owners will change the name of the restaurant.

"Through our London based lawyers we have instructed‎ local lawyers who our pursuing the legal options available to us to protect our rights," the rep said. "As this is an ‎ongoing legal matter I‎ cannot comment further at this time."

Apart from his lawsuit against Ransay's, the chef is also embroiled in another legal drama against his own father-in-law, Christopher Hutcheson, who allegedly conspired with his brother-in-law to defraud him of "hundreds of thousands of pounds."

But in the family drama, Chef Gordon Ramsay at least has the support of his wife, Tana, who said the whole thing "was extremely distressing to me."

Tana Ramsay said she was aware of the use of the ghostwriter machine. But she added that she believed the machine was used for signing merchandise when her husband was unavailable.

"It did not even occur to me that the machine might be used to sign Gordon's signature on anything else," she said.

"But certainly myself, I feel very comfortable with what the company has become. Whilst not immediately, it is certainly more transparent and on a much more solid basis," she said, crediting "Hell's Kitchen" host Gordon Ramsey for the turnaround.
