Gordon Ramsay has signed a deal for a US cooking show

Gordon Ramsay has signed a deal for a new reality cooking show.

The celebrity chef will feature in the new US series - tentatively called Masterchef - for the Fox network.

It will feature the Hell's Kitchen star trying to turn people who have no experience in the food industry into expert cooks.

Contestants will compete by whipping up dishes to be judged by a panel of expert chefs.

Fox has not said when the star's new show will air.
