Gordon Ramsay'S Netflix Confession: Why The Chef Skipped His Own Show

The Unseen Side of Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay's latest Netflix hit, "Being Gordon Ramsay," has taken fans on a whirlwind journey through the famed chef's life – both in the kitchen and at home. Released on February 18, this six-part docu-series offers a rare peek into Ramsay's personal and professional world over six months, showcasing his ambitious culinary project at 22 Bishopsgate in London. But while viewers have been glued to the screen, Ramsay himself has admitted to steering clear of watching it.

Why Ramsay Avoids the Spotlight

In a candid chat with Hits Radio, Ramsay revealed why he's avoided tuning into his own series. "I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen it because I never want to be that sort of little delicate, dainty soul that wants to obsess on how he looks, how he comes across," he shared. Ramsay's reluctance to view his own work stems from a desire to avoid self-criticism and maintain focus on his goals.

“I’ve gone to hell and back with him,” Gordon admitted in the series, referring to his relationship with his younger brother Ronnie.

Family and Personal Struggles

The series doesn't just highlight Ramsay's culinary pursuits but also delves into his family life, including his marriage to wife Tana and an emotional exploration of his bond with his brother Ronnie. The chef revealed a "guilt complex" regarding Ronnie's battle with heroin addiction, candidly admitting, "It could have been me." Despite these personal revelations, Ronnie and two of Ramsay's children, Megan and Jack, do not appear in the series due to their commitments.

A Year of Challenges

Ramsay described the past year as "the most challenging 12 months of our entire lives," emphasizing the magnitude of his commitment to the ambitious project at 22 Bishopsgate. This docu-series captures both the triumphs and trials of the chef's journey, leaving fans with an intimate understanding of the man behind the culinary empire.

"Being Gordon Ramsay" is available for streaming now – just don't expect the chef himself to be watching it anytime soon!
