Potty-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay's New York restaurant has been awarded two Michelin stars, bringing his total to 12.

Gordon Ramsay at the London has joined only five other restaurants in the Big Apple that have been awarded two stars.

The restaurant was panned when it opened last November but critics have now had to eat their words.

Ramsay, who lives in Wandsworth, said he was proud of his chef de cuisine Josh Emett, the maitre d' Jean Baptiste Requein and his very talented team.

Meanwhile, the 40-year-old Hell's Kitchen star was seen dining with pal David Beckham in LA's exclusive restaurant Spago on Saturday night.

It is thought Ramsay has been supporting the 32-year-old footballer following his dad's heart attack while Posh is in Paris with their sons.

Ramsay, who is filming in the States, reportedly phoned Becks, who is struggling to cope with being so far away from sick Ted, 59, who collapsed two weeks ago.
