Super chef Gordon Ramsay promised to turn the restaurant?s ?horrendous food? and ?bad attitude? into a success.

But Rachel?s eating joint was shut down leaving her penniless.

?Gordon did absolutely nothing for me, so instead I decided to swap my restaurant for life as a hooker. We were losing something like ?6,000 a month and just couldn’t balance the books. It became more chaotic after he turned up,? the Sun quoted her as saying.

“He was a right flirt, showing as much interest in impressing me as sorting out the kitchen. Every time we went for a drink or took time off he’d be leering – or moaning about something,? she added.

After Rachel sold her eatery in the court she took a flat at Montparnasse.

?I enjoy sex and was turned on by the idea of selling my body for money, so it wasn’t much of a hassle,? said Rachel.

?It?s a great way to make money. I charge around ?200 a time, and getting business is no problem at all. If they have any kinky suggestions, I might charge a bit more,? she added.

Rachel has even used her nightmare TV appearance to get business by sending videos to potential clients.
