Exploring the dangers of being a drug smuggler and exposing the harsh reality of the so-called 'war on drugs', Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine is set to be an eye-opening watch.

Speaking about his own personal experiences of the drug, Gordon explained: "I saw cocaine quite early on in my career. I've been served it. I've been given it.

"I've had my hand shaken and left with little wraps of foil in it. I've been asked to dust cocaine on top of soufflés, to put it on as icing sugar… coke's everywhere. It's spiralling out of control."

He added: "With soaring cocaine deaths in Britain and along the coke supply chain, I'm determined to understand the criminal business behind this deadly drug."

Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine will air as part of ITV's 'Crime & Punishment' season, on Thursday, 19 October at 9pm.
