Gordon Ramsay’s £7million mansion narrowly escapes ruin as HUGE tree falls in his street
GORDON Ramsay’s million-pound mansion had a narrow escape this week after a giant tree was uprooted during Storm Eunice.
The Hell’s Kitchen star shares the home in south London with wife Tana and their five children; Megan, 23, twins Jack and Holly, 22, Matilda, 20, and Oscar, two.

Photos show the huge tree on its side after being completely uprooted by the storm, which has battered the UK with 122mph gales.
It appears to have crashed into a brick wall between two neighbouring properties and is blocking the road.
Further photos show tree surgeons working to cut the tree into pieces so that it can be moved from the road, allowing traffic to flow through again.
Luckily, Gordon’s home was not affected by the disaster.
The Sun revealed back in June last year that the award-winning chef, 55, was planning a huge basement renovation at his £7million London home.
The TV star hoped to add a bedroom, wine room, plant room and shower room to the property.

Plans submitted to his local council reveal the existing ground floor extension will be demolished and replaced with a more modern design, while the lower ground floor will get a light well leading out to the garden.
A light well typically consists of a glass roof to let natural light into a property.
The basement will retain its gym, study and utility room. If approved, the changes will add a sizeable 76m2 to the home, with the work taking more than a year to complete.
Plans stated work would begin in September and end in December 2022.
The home regularly features on the family’s social media accounts and Gordon has even filmed for TV in its restaurant standard kitchen.
Gordon also has three holiday homes worth £10m in Cornwall.
Three more days of weather warnings have been issued after the worst tempest in a generation saw rare red alerts in place for the south yesterday.
