SNAPTRACY Grimshaw has launched a scathing attack at Gordon Rasmay after calling her an "ugly old pig", and described him as a "narcissist bully".
The A Current Affair host lashed out at Ramsay, who said she was deeply hurt by his unprovoked attacks on her over the Queen's Birthday weekend.
But Grimshaw said she "bullies thrive when no one takes them on".
Ramsay, who built his fame as a potty-mouthed chef, who was presenting another cooking session at the Good Food & Wine Show, told the crowd he and the A Current Affair host had been long-time lovers.
"We were secret lovers for 20 years,’’ he said before dismissing it as a joke.
"No, I didn’t go there and I didn’t go down. I didn’t stoop that low for God’s sake."
Ramsay's publist told journalists that Grimshaw and Ramsay had a great relationship, but Grimshaw denied this claim.
Grimshaw said Ramsay always had fair and generous treatment on A Current Affair.
"But despite what his publicist said in damage control we do not have a great relationship. We have no relationship at all," she said.
"I’ve played along with him in interviews because it’s entertaining and that’s my job – and I walk away afterwards and I don’t think of him again."
Grimshaw said she was miserable after his attack, which Ramsay described as a joke.
"He says it was a joke – well not to me or to anyone who cares about me," Grimshaw said.
''Truly, I wonder how many people would laugh if they were effectively described as ‘an old ugly pig’. How is that funny exactly? And worse, it’s not even witty.
"I spent all yesterday considering how to respond and I honestly thought about saying nothing at all but we all know bullies thrive when no one takes them on.
"And I’m not going to sit meekly and let some arrogant narcissist bully me."
Grimshaw said to Ramsay, respect was a "one-way street".
"And just finally, Gordon Ramsay made me promise not to ask on Friday about his private life," she said.
"He then got on stage on Saturday and made some very clear and uninformed insinuations about mine.
"Obviously Gordon thinks that any woman that doesn’t find him attractive must be gay. For the record, I don’t and I’m not."
Grimshaw said she was not surprise by Ramsay's comments.
"We’ve all seen how Gordon Ramsay treats his wife – and he supposedly loves her," she said.
"We’re all just fodder to him. Alright, enough of that. Let’s move on."
