Gordon Ramsay wrangles with a live piranha in Uncharted first look

He’s never been shy of stepping out of his comfort zone.

And Gordon Ramsay is set to wrangle with a live piranha in the latest episode of his  Uncharted series.

In a first look at this Sunday’s episode, the chef, 53, joked his cameraman ‘nearly lost a toe’ after pulling the live fish into his little boat while fishing in the Guyana rivers.

In the clip, Gordon casts his fishing rod into the murky waters before successfully pulling out a live piranha.

Clearly shocked by the size of the fish, he screams: ‘Oh s***t’ before dropping the piranha in the boat, dangerously close to his cameraman, adding: ‘It’s in the f*****g boat man!’

Narrating the hilarious moment, Gordon jokes: ‘Ooops I panicked there but it’s the biggest fish yet, luckily my cameraman was wearing shoes or he could have lost a toe.’

After his guide manages to catch an even bigger fish they pretend to make the two animals kiss as the clip comes to an end.

Sharing the preview with his fans on Instagram, Gordon captioned the post: ‘I think the #piranhas knew I wanted to cook them…. it’s not easy fishing in #Guyana this Sunday on #Uncharted at 10/9c on @natgeochannel!’

Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted sees the star journey around the world where he meets people from different countries, tries exotic regional cuisines and learns about their food and culture.  

A recent episode showed the star leaping from a helicopter into the sea below after the pilot informed him that he’s unable to land at a nearby beach. 

In showstopping images, Gordon was seen edging towards the open door of the helicopter as he looked down below. 

After emerging unscathed, Gordon said: ‘Jumping out of a helicopter into a ferocious sea, laced with sharks, to get to the beach. 

‘Trust me, after that jump, I hope those mussels are worth it, because I’m here to learn.’ 

Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted airs in America on Sundays at 10/9c on National Geographic. It is not yet known if the series will be shown in the UK.
