Gordon Ramsay admits he monitors teenage daughter using spy camera in her bedroom
Ramsay told Jonathan Ross that he paid his son Jack £20 to install the hidden camera in his older sister Megan’s room to monitor her while she revised
TV chef Gordon Ramsay has admitted to snooping on his 15-year-old daughter using a spy camera in her bedroom.
In an interview with Jonathan Ross, Ramsay said he had asked his son Jack to set up a Go-Pro spy cam in his older sister Megan’s room.
Ramsay said this was to check that she was revising during visits from her boyfriend.
Megan was sitting in the audience with her boyfriend when the Scottish chef, who is famed for his forthright comments, made the admission.
He said he had given Jack £20 to “target” his sister by setting up the camera “at the top left-hand side of the wardrobe.”
“So, Megan, I’d like to talk to you about your revising,” he said.
Go-Pro is a brand of high-definition personal cameras.
The firm’s cameras, which are known for being lightweight and durable, are often used in extreme action video photography.
They can be mounted in unusual places, such as the outside of vehicles – or, in this case, on the side of a wardrobe.
Last year, a US college student was granted a civil stalking order against her parents after they kept an eye on her using monitoring software, Mail Online reports.
Earlier this month a man suspected of voyeurism was arrested after a spy camera was set up to film semi-naked women – in a police station in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
The device was put in the private staff changing room meant solely for women.
Police confirmed that a 32-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of voyeurism and quizzed by detectives after material was seized which relates to images taken in the women’s changing rooms.
