Gordon Ramsay has taken to social media with an important message for fans after his recent cycling trip took a horrific turn. 

Sharing a video to his 40 million followers on TikTok, the celebrity chef, 57, appeared slightly shaken as he revealed he nearly died while on a bike ride. 

‘This week, unfortunately, I had a really bad accident, and it really shook me, and honestly, I’m lucky to be here,’ the former Hell’s Kitchen star said.

‘Now, from those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, and nurses in the hospitals looked after me this week. They were amazing. 

‘But honestly, you’ve got to wear a helmet; I don’t care how short the journey is, I don’t care, you know the fact these helmets cost money, but they’re crucial, even with the kids, a short journey, they’ve got to a helmet. 

‘Now, I’m lucky to be standing here; I am in pain; it’s been a brutal week,’ he said as he lifted up his shirt to reveal a horrific bruise taking up much of his lower stomach. ‘I’m sort of getting through it, but I cannot tell you the importance of wearing a helmet.’

He continued to tell fans this weekend is a particularly important time to practice safe cycling as it is Father’s Day.

The star said he did not suffer from any bones or major injuries other than the huge bruise that has left him looking like a ‘purple potato’. 

It remains unclear how the chef will celebrate Father’s Day this year, however, it is likely to be a special day spent with his six children: Megan, 26, twins Holly and Jack, 24, Matilda, 22, Oscar, 5, and seven-month-old Jesse.

Jesse’s birth was a surprise to fans after Ramsay’s wife, Tana, 49, kept her pregnancy a secret for the entire nine months. 

After welcoming her youngest son, she shared an image to Instagram telling her 341,000 followers: ‘It’s been a nerve wracking nine months but we’ve made it and we have been blessed with this little bundle.’

She added, ‘Ramsay family definitely complete.’

Ramsay told People magazine in 2023 that while he is known for having a tough approach in the kitchen, his children have ‘brought the emotion’ out of him. 

In March, the TV star told the outlet that the idea of having more kids crossed his mind after a comment made by one of his children.

‘This morning, Oscar said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if Jesse and I had a little sister?” And I spat my Cheerios out,’ he joked.

‘So yeah, I had to get up from the table and walk away… I didn’t wait to see Tana’s reaction.

‘I literally coughed my Cheerios out all over the table. So yeah, listen, who knows, right?’
