  1. We love the Gordon Ramsay affair claims – he didn’t make any official comments, just his normal dry humour!

    “What a week I’ve had. My Mum is in here tonight so I’m on my best behaviour, ooh la la. Oh f%$k it. I didn’t do it Mum, I love you.”
    “I have been up close and personal with Mrs Smith – Delia. I got in there…. She gave me a book about how to cheat – but I didn’t think anything of it at the time…. I wanted to show her my spotted dick recipe.”
    “I have had a mattress arriving this week, everyone thought it was because I had to sleep in the basement. “Mattress, mistress, mattress, what a load of bull$@#*.”

    But my personal favourite is “If things go wrong and something slips out like ‘Oh f%$k me’, I don’t mean it literally. It’s because it’s gone wrong,” he joked.

  2. At the cooking show in Birmingham, he also made the following statements

    “Come on, if I was really going to cheat it wouldn’t be with a complete slapper.”

    In the same, story, the Mirror also reported on the latest weeks episode of Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live (which isn’t on youtube yet!) – Gordon also joked that “Can I start by saying, yes it is true, it is official – I have been shagging Delia.”

    He added later: “I was watching TV last night and tuned into a new show on Channel 4 called Gordon Ramsay’s Bedroom Nightmares. “And then I switched it over to E4 – and it was Shag Along With Ramsay.”
