I say this with great respect to them but theyve failed.

Last year, Gordon Ramsay had some cockamamie idea.

I dont know how the lawyers allowed it because it was a virtual rip-off ofThe Apprentice.

No disrespect to Gordon but stick to your day job, mate.

Thats all I would say.

He also fronts high-rating travelogs for ITV.

In the UK, he debutedFuture Food Starson BBC One last year.

Last year, Ramsay acknowledged similarities, while praising Sugars show.

Its a food and drink lifestyle business show, he told reporters at a Radio Times event.

So fingers crossed, its going to rub Alan Sugars feathers the wrong way.

I think Ive lost a customer there.

Who gives a f***?

But all jokes apart, Im a big fan ofThe Apprentice.

The originalNextLevelChefruns on Fox.

Ramsays reps declined to comment on Sugars remarks.
