Gordon Ramsay defends Brooklyn Beckham after fans slam 'raw' cooking video
Brooklyn Beckham has been defended by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay after facing flack - once again - for his cooking skills.
If you're being ridiculed over your skills in the kitchen, it can’t hurt to have a celebrity chef come to your aide, right?
Even though Brooklyn Beckham doesn't officially work in a kitchen, he spends a lot of time cooking and coming up with his own recipes at home - something he shares on social media - as well as making TV appearances to share his love for food.
But not a lot of people are impressed, with Beckham constantly facing criticism and ridicule for his cooking skills.

However, a fellow potty-mouthed chef has decided to stick up for the 24-year-old, praising him for doing something he 'enjoys'.
Last year, Beckham posted a Instagram video with celebrity chef Kevin Lee, showing how they would make the perfect Michelin star British Sunday roast.
Sadly, the video went viral for all the wrong reasons, with social media users remarking that the beef was simply 'too raw' and not thoroughly cooked.
“Bruh that ain’t cooked!!!! Buddy oliver come help the grown man out,” one user joked, while another added: "That joint is way too raw. Should be pink in the middle, not the whole joint."
“A bit undercooked I’d give it another hour that roast would ruin Sunday dinner,” a third commented.
Despite the criticism, Gordon Ramsay - who is friends with Brooklyn’s parents David and Victoria Beckham - defended the clip.
"I haven't seen the video of his supposedly 'raw' beef,” Ramsay recently told the Mail Online.
"But even as a 12-year-old, whilst playing football, Brooklyn was always excited about food. So I'm pleased that he's gone down that road and he's found something he really enjoys doing."
He went on to add that he is ‘excited’ to have Beckham join the culinary world and clarified that he had no issue with his cooking.
He also defended the fact that Beckham will see significant pressure from having famous parents.
He continued: "It's hard, isn't it? Because he didn't ask for that level of intrusion from having famous parents. It probably came off a certain way, but it's not his fault."
Beckham’s mom Victoria also defended her son in her own Instagram post, and insisted it had given her ‘inspiration for this Sunday’s roast'.
“I’ll be attempting this for your dad and brothers and sister,” she added as she re-posted the recipe to her page.
Despite the slew of critical comments, there were still some fans who supported Beckham, with many saying they loved the look of the meal.
“I thought it was gonna be super under cooked, but it’s literally pink. Like what fancy chefs aim for? A lot of people desperate to write a negative comment,” one user wrote.
“This is perfect well done. Ignore all the plebs with the it’s Raw comments. Let them eat shoe leather,” another joked.
