Gordon Ramsay has given a bizarre explanation for what he has branded his 'hair nightmare'.
The celebrity chef was pictured earlier this month looking so puffy that his eyes were almost hidden beneath the swelling.
He now claims this was just down to a 'horrific' infection and an allergic reaction to a horse.

The swelling was widely thought to be the result of Ramsay's £30,000 hair transplant, appearing soon after he was photographed leaving a Los Angeles surgery with a medical cap over his head.
Instead the 44-year-old claims the swelling occurred because of an bizarre incident he was involved in with gangsters in Costa Rica, who poured gasoline all over him.
He said: 'I had petrol doused, gasoline poured all over my hair and I had a horrific infection.
'It certainly didn't cause my hair to be falling out.'

Ramsay was in Costa Rica filming Channel 4’s Big Fish Fight series for UK television.
It saw him investigating the illegal trade in shark fins, which led to the confrontation with the heavily armed gangsters
Ramsay added: 'I was in Napa for Christmas literally two weeks after the shoot and went horseback riding with the kids and had a horrendous allergic reaction to the horse, combined with the problems I had with my scalp - so it was just a hair nightmare.'
But the star seems to be feeling much better now.
According to People.com, he said: 'I can now say that I am almost 60-70 percent recovered.'
