Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was stunned at the nice-guy tactics of his Hell's Kitchen successor Marco Pierre White - because he wasn't always so well-mannered.

White has become famous for his TV catchphrase, "Let me lead you by the hand"

on the new season of the British reality TV show - but his behavior is a far cry from the acid-tongued attacks Ramsay experienced working in the 45-year-old's kitchen at London restaurant Harvey's before he rose to international fame in 2005.

He recalls, "In their day all those guys were bullies. You have to be to make your name. It's part of the pressure. That's the job. To be the best, you have to push and push. Marco used to be a savage.

"As for him doing Hell's Kitchen, well, they asked me first, but I did it once and never again. He's welcome to my sloppy seconds."
