Gordon Ramsay has insisted his friend Victoria Beckham does eat.

The Spice Girl's slender size zero figure is often commented on, but the TV chef revealed that anyone could lose weight if they followed her diet.

Gordon said: "She does eat, but everything's steamed. If you went forward for just a week of potatoes and veg and carrots and leeks and fish and everything was steamed, it wouldn't be the most amazing food you've ever tasted but I can guarantee you'd lose weight."

The Michelin starred chef confirmed he and Victoria are to open a restaurant serving traditional British food in America and even hinted he might persuade Posh Spice to help him with the cooking.

He said: "We spoke about it last month in LA when we went for dinner in Nappa Valley. I was laughing and said 'Look I'll open it provided you spend a day in the kitchen, Victoria.' Can you imagine? No-one would get f***ing fed!

"So, we spoke about it and we're looking at some exciting ideas so as that evolves, I'll keep you posted. It'll be something British in LA or New York - it depends."
