Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay is facing backlash on TikTok from some users after posting a video in which he appeared to select a lamb to slaughter for a meal.
On Thursday, Ramsay posted a video of himself climbing into a pen of roughly ten pristine, white lamb. In the video, Ramsay rubbed his hands together while repeatedly saying "yummy."

"I'm going to eat you," the chef said to the group of lamb.
Then, he asked, “Which one’s going in the oven first?" He selected a sheep, pointing and saying: "You."
Ramsay, 55, then jumped into the pen, startling some of the sheep.
The chef and restauranteur, clarified later that "No animals were cooked in the making of this video," according to Insider, which first reported on the backlash.
Ramsay captioned the video "The Lamb sauce was still not found in the making of this video......." — a reference to a 2006 meme, derived from a scene on his show "Hell's Kitchen," in which he asked a contestant for lamb sauce.
