Granada TV has reportedly settled out of court with a man threatening to sue TV chef Gordon Ramsay.

The man, a contestant on the US version of Hell's Kitchen, sprained his ankle when he fell over during a clash with the firebrand chef.

Ramsay had been threatened with a $3 million lawsuit.

However, the Evening Standard reports today that the injured party has agreed to accept a 67,000 out of court settlement.

Ramsay is famous for his foul mouth and quick temper. In the UK version of the show, he reduced a number of celebrity contestants to tears and had to restrain former Corrie star Amanda Barrie when she tried to slap him.

The US Hell's Kitchen features members of the public rather than celebrities, but it would appear that the sparks are still flying.
