Gordon Ramsay has shared his parenting regrets, admitting he missed the essence of fatherhood in his new Netflix show.
The Netflix documentary series titled Being Gordon Ramsay has just landed on the streaming platform, allowing viewers a peek behind the curtain of his life.
In the first episode of the documentary series, Gordon opened up about his troubled childhood with his alcoholic father, Gordon.
On the show, the TV personality, 59, also admits to her own parental regrets.
He said he sometimes prioritized work over being there for his four older children; her daughter Megan, 27, twins Holly and Jack, 26, and Tilly, 24.
He said: “Unfortunately, I had a torrid relationship with my father. My father called me a snob once. And I said, “No, definitely not a snob.” I just want to get out of the mess I was born into.
For those who don’t know, Gordon juggled three jobs to support his family and lived in 15 different social estates growing up.
The chef remembers the weekends where he “almost watched his father ruin his life because of alcohol”.
He continues: “It’s hard, isn’t it, when someone is an alcoholic? It’s very hard to relate to that, because you’re just… you’re nervous.
“You’re worried, you know, about touching the end of the bottle and seeing that bottle of Bacardi disappear, because you know what happens at the end.”
However, Gordon turned to cooking after his football career was cut short due to a knee injury.
