Gordon Ramsey’s bicycle accident: Celebrity chef reveals consequences of shocking incident

Ramsay noted that the incident had “really shaken” him and that he had been taken to hospital for treatment. “Honestly, I’m glad to be here,” he said.

“I’m in pain. It’s been a brutal week,” he added, lifting up his chef’s jacket to reveal his badly bruised ribs. “And I’m getting through it somehow. But I can’t tell you how important it is to wear a helmet.”

In his caption, Ramsay explained that while he “didn’t break any bones or suffer any major injuries,” he “did have a few bruises and looked like a purple potato.”

Ramsay then reiterated that he was “grateful” to have worn a helmet during the accident as it “saved my life”.

“I don’t care how short the ride is. I don’t care that these helmets cost money… they are essential,” he said. “Even on short rides, the kids have to wear a helmet.”

Ramsay ended his video and caption by wishing all families a “great” and “safe” Father’s Day.
