LONDON - Channel 4's 'Gordon Ramsay's F Word', in which Oasis singer Liam Gallagher helped his wife bake an apple tart, cooked up 3.1m viewers last night to beat ITV1's 'The Great British Body', starring Trinny and Susannah.

The fourth episode of Channel 4's cookery series, which is set to run for 12 episodes, was watched by a 13.9% share of the audience at 9pm-10pm.
