Edinburgh radio hosts Boogie and Arlene paid special visit from Gordon Ramsay

Forth 1's breakfast duo Boogie and Arlene were joined in the studio by Gordon Ramsay on Friday morning as the celebrity chef celebrates the opening of his third Edinburgh restaurant.

Street Burger opened at St James Quarter on Monday, making it Ramsay's 47th venue in total and third in the capital. As part of the celebrations, Gordon was in town and decided to pay his fellow neighbours at the shopping centre a visit.

Their move was filmed live on social media as they made an hilarious attempt to carry all their equipment to the £1billion shopping centre during an ad break.

Gordon also mentioned that Street Burger are giving away 500 free burgers from midday on Friday, December 2, and it's first come first served.

Another touching gesture made by Gordon after the launch of Street Burger was the fact that the restaurant announced they would donate every penny towards the charity Scottish Spina Bifida, with the chef then personally matching whatever is raised at the fundraising launch.

Throughout November and December, a £1 voluntary donation will be added to diner’s bills at the St Andrew Square restaurant and the St James Quarter restaurant. The money raised will go to SBH charity,
