Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay today revealed what is at the top of his Christmas wish list this year - a set of floodlights.

The Scots-born Michelin Star cook, an ex-footballer, has asked for the lights for the football pitch in his back garden.

Father-of-four Ramsay played for Rangers as a teenager and said he still enjoys having a kick-about after Sunday lunch.

Asked what he would like for Christmas, he told Glasgow-based Real Radio: "I've got a full-sized football goal in my back garden and after Sunday lunch we bend it like Beckham round the posts.

"What I've requested this time is some floodlights."

Ramsay also revealed that his young children only get one gift each. The rest are delivered unopened to a refuge run by his mother in Somerset.

He said: "Anything else that comes in by way of extra presents from friends, family and customers goes straight to the refuge."

The interview with Gordon Ramsay will be broadcast on Real Radio on Boxing Day.
