Gordon Ramsay has been berated by a shopper for parking his car outside a store in Cornwall during the coronavirus lockdown.
The TV chef, 53, was previously slammed by locals after he moved his family from London to his £4.4million mansion in the county to isolate during the pandemic.
The altercation in Polzeath Beach came about after Mr Ramsay parked his Land Rover Defender in front of the shop, witnesses said.

Villagers are worried Gordon may have brought the virus with him from London and want him 'the hell out of Cornwall' and have even threatened to expose his address if he doesn't leave, The Sun reports.

Another said: 'Wealthy second homers think making a few quid means they are immune from the virus and any rules. They are arrogant at this best of times, this has shown how bad some of them are.'
