The F Word

Can food affect a man's fertility? Currently there's speculation about a general decline in the sperm count and whether it can be linked to diet. Gordon blames his own low sperm count on the fact that chefs are constantly exposed to high levels of heat during long hours in a kitchen environment. He enlists the help of a fertility expert and a clinical embryologist to see whether they support his theory and offer advice on how men can help prevent problems with their sperm. Plus top model Penny Lancaster comes for dinner and tells Gordon about her very fertile relationship with Rod Stewart.

Chat show maestro Jonathon Ross, is put to the test by Gordon this week when he's challenged to kill and cook lobster. 'If Paul McCartney is watching this, I apologize'.

The show also features Gary Rhodes, an amazing report about the potential benefits of horse milk and an exclusive report on which is Britain's healthiest supermarket.

It's the kitchen because the other places are too easy!'" Nancy cooks for and with Sven regularly, "I do the cooking, he helps me. We work together, we're a team.' Actor Richard Wilson - best known for his performance as Victor Meldrew - and Kim & Aggie from "How Clean Is Your House" take Gordon on with their trifle recipe; while resident food critic Giles Coren looks into the world of detox.
