The presenter and restaurant owner, 57, who fronts the Kitchen Nightmares programme, shared photos of his clothes being torn and helmet crushed while biking in Connecticut in the US.
In an Instagram video on Saturday (15 June), he showed a purple bruise which appeared to cover a significant portion of his chest. While his hands were shaking, Ramsay said: “Hey guys, it’s Gordon. I’d like to share a very important message with you all.
“You know how much I love cycling and triathlons and Ironman (races) etc and this week, unfortunately, I had a really bad accident and it really shook me and honestly I’m lucky to be here. Those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses in the hospitals looked after me this week, they were amazing but honestly, you’ve got to wear helmets.
