Looks like reality-show contestants are going to get yelled at by Gordon Ramsay for a couple more years. After a decade at Fox, the celebrity chef signed a new deal that keeps him at the network for two additional years. Under the pact, Ramsay will deliver about 80 more hours of programming, apart from the already completed upcoming seasons of "MasterChef Jr. 4," and "Hell's Kitchen" 15 and 16, according to Deadline.
Ramsay, who has been with the network since 2005, posted the news on his Twitter account. "Will be a busy couple years," Ramsay tweeted. "Just signed 2 year deal with FOX to do at least 80 more hours of television!"
With "American Idol" approaching its final season, keeping Ramsay at the network was a high priority for Fox. The chef has become the network's most valuable reality brand with three long-running franchises; "Hell's Kitchen," "MasterChef" and "MasterChef Jr.," according to Hollywood Reporter.
In June, Ramsay announced his decision to discontinue the U.S./U.K. reality show "Kitchen Nightmares," after a decade-long run, as HNGN previously reported.
Ramsay is one of the highest-paid reality stars and makes more than $400,000 per episode for his on-screen and off-screen services, Forbes reported.
