But most people would be hard pushed to say this gentleman looks anything like Gordon Ramsay . The fiery chef turned up to pose with contestants in a competition to find his double and presented the winner with a signed frying pan. A cookware firm organised the event at Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurant at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas , Nevada . As well as being judged on their likeness to Ramsay, contestants were asked about their cooking skills. Ramsay was unimpressed by the Canadian winner Keith White’s resemblance to him while one of the runners-up was a woman. The 58-year-old Scot said: ‘Not sure he really looked like me but thanks for coming to Hell’s Kitchen. 'It is slightly weird but a little bit of fun.’ Scot Gordon Ramsay with ‘lookalike’ Keith White and one of the runners-up The chef with the winner at Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurant at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas One of Ramsay’s followers posted on social media: ‘He definitely doesn’t look like you and can guarantee doesn’t cook like you.’ Gordon Ramsay Las Vegas Nevada Share or comment on this article: Gordon doppelclangers!

By Charles Mangwiro | Associated Press MAPUTO, Mozambique — At least 6,000 inmates escaped from a high-security prison in Mozambique’s capital on Christmas Day after a rebellion, the country’s police chief said, as widespread post-election riots and violence are roiling the country. Police chief Bernardino Rafael said 33 prisoners died and 15 others were injured during a confrontation with the security forces. The prisoners fled during violent protests that have seen police cars, stations and infrastructure destroyed after the country’s Constitutional Council confirmed the ruling Frelimo party as the winner of the Oct. 9 elections. The escape from the Maputo Central Prison, located 14 kilometers (9 miles) southwest of the capital, started around midday on Wednesday after “agitation” by a “group of subversive protesters” nearby, Rafael said. Some of the prisoners at the facility snatched weapons from the guards and started freeing other detainees. “A curious fact is that in that prison we had 29 convicted terrorists, who they released. We are worried, as a country, as Mozambicans, as members of the defense and security forces,” said Rafael.

He called on the escaped prisoners to surrender to authorities and for the population to be informed about the fugitives. Videos circulating on social media show the moment inmates left the prison, while other recordings reveal captures made by military personnel and prison guards. Many prisoners tried to hide in homes, but some were unsuccessful and ended up being detained again. In one video, a prisoner still with handcuffs on his right wrist says he was held n the disciplinary section of the prison and was released by other inmates.
