Gordon Ramsay reveals gruesome injuries after bicycle accident: “I’m lucky to be here”

Gordon Ramsay urges everyone to wear a bike helmet after having a “really bad accident” in Connecticut.

The celebrity chef spoke out about X, revealing: “It really shook me up. I’m glad to be here,” while showing off his dark purple torso in a video.

“These incredible trauma surgeons, doctors and nurses at the hospital who have taken care of me this week have been amazing, but honestly, you have to wear a helmet,” he said.

Ramsay continued: “I’m lucky to be standing here. It hurts, it’s been a brutal week and I’m getting through it somehow, but I can’t tell you how important it is to wear a helmet.”

The 57-year-old added in the caption: “I’m fine and haven’t broken any bones or sustained any major injuries, but I’m a bit bruised and look like a purple potato.”

Gordon continued, “I am grateful to all the doctors, nurses and staff at Lawerence + Memorial Hospital in New London who took care of me and examined me, but I am most grateful for my helmet that saved my life. Happy Father’s Day and stay safe.”

He also included a before photo of himself posing with his helmet and his bike, and an after photo of his damaged helmet.
