A restaurant owner fears a new Channel 4 show will throw up her business in a bad light.

For during filming, celebrity hardman chef Gordon Ramsay was shown being sick -- 'poisoned' after eating from a plate of old scallops.

The incident as now being used in a trailer for Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, which starts on Tuesday at 9pm on Channel 4.

Now Sue Ray, owner of Bonaparte's restaurant on Kirkgate, Silsden, is bracing herself for negative feedback after the broadcast.

She said: "I'm just going to have to watch it on Tuesday and see. If they have gone back on their promises and we come out of it looking bad then I'll have to consider what action I can take."

Chef Tim Gray, of Skipton, was selected for the series after he replied to an advert in Caterer magazine. The filming took place around Tim -- who has moved on since the filming was completed -- and fellow chef Lee Symonds.

During filming, Ramsay -- famous for his fiery temper and reputation for hurling abuse at his staff -- had asked what Tim's signature dish was and instructed him to make it. But the only scallops available were no longer fresh and had been put on the side ready to be thrown away.

Tim explained: "I'm sure he knew they were off. He said they didn't look good, but told me to go ahead.

"I was too nervous to argue but I never thought he would eat one."

Ramsey did, and soon after was violently sick. Tim added: "I felt terrible. I thought, 'Oh God I've poisoned Gordon Ramsay', but he said not to worry, it would make great television. When the cameras are on he is a real hard so-and-so, but when the cameras were off he was a bit different, a bit more relaxed."

Sue said: "While they were filming it was all very tongue-in-cheek to give it a little bit of sensationalism. A lot of what was done for the show is very contrived.

"When I saw the advert, I thought 'I was not aware of this'. I think they've been a bit naughty."

After she discovered the show would be named Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Sue rang the organisers to express her fears about going ahead with it.

Julie Pickford, publicist for the show, said that the name of the show would not have been finalised until the last minute and that the trailer for the series did show the more sensational bits as a way to entice viewers to watch it. She said: "The way in which the production company researched potential venues for the series was to invite people who felt they could benefit from the wisdom Ramsay could offer to apply.

"There were big issues at Bonaparte's restaurant and they were discussed at the beginning of the programme when Sue told Gordon the reasons for inviting him in. She had full opportunity to have her say."

She added: "Gordon Ramsay's reputation precedes him. It's not as if they didn't know what to expect."
