The celebrity chef's biggest show has been off the air for 10 years in the US, but now Ramsay is bringing it to Fox in a season full of exciting new reveals to welcome back fans. 4 In Kitchen Nightmares, Chef Ramsay is often left less than impressed by the struggling restaurants he visits Credit: Eastnews 4 The show has led to multiple suicides and 84 per cent of the restaurants closing down after Ramsay leaves Credit: Channel 4 But the kitchen isn't the only place nightmares have happened for contestants on Chef Ramsay's shows. Joe Cerniglia, the head chef at New Jersey restaurant Campania, committed suicide off the George Washington Bridge in 2010. He was on Kitchen Nightmares three years earlier, and the loving father got exposed by Ramsey and berated for his poor management skills. Cerniglia, who was more than $80,000 in debt was told: "Your business is about to f***ing swim down the Hudson.' "Why did you become a chef-owner if you haven't a clue how to run a business?" The 39-year-olds body was eerily found in the Hudson River after his death. Ramsay put out a statement after Cerniglia's death saying: 'I was fortunate to spend time with Joe during the first season of Kitchen Nightmares. 'Joe was a brilliant chef, and our thoughts go out to his family, friends and staff.' Another chef on a show fronted by Ramsay found a similar tragic end in 2007, when Rachel Brown fatally shot herself just a year after competing on Hell's Kitchen. Alongside these awful deaths sits 65 closed restaurants that were meant to be saved on the show. Just 16 per cent of the 77 disastrous places are still open today. Including none from the first two seasons and only season five having over two still in business. In the UK edition of Kitchen Nightmares, only three of the 21 locations are open, sho){kind=link}
