Trivia
Sometimes billed as Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars. And, by less-competent spellcheckers, Gordon Ramsey's Future Food Stars.
Casting for this show ran during March 2020, while the COVID pandemic hit. The show took two years to come to air, during which time Gordon Ramsay had made the massive flop Bank Balance.
The series was recommissioned before an episode even aired.
Key moments
Will surely be remembered for making the opening test "Would you jump off a cliff if Gordon Ramsay told you to do it?", to which apparently everybody involved in this show, from the commissioning editor down to the contestants, thinks the correct answer is "yes". Similar stunts had been executed on the American version of Hell's Kitchen, but at least Ramsay had installed a pair of actors to do so and then didn't make the rest of the cast do so.
Web links
The show publicised the hashtag #FFS, appropriately enough.
