It’s been a whirlwind period for Gordon who was recently involved in a major cycling accident. Taking to Instagram in June, the chef told his followers how he was “lucky to be alive” as he issued a warning to all cyclists.
Addressing his followers, he shared: “You know how much I love cycling, triathlons and Iron Man etc. This week unfortunately I had a really bad accident and it really shook me. Honestly, I’m lucky to be here now.”
The Hell’s Kitchen star continued: “From those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses in the hospital who looked after me this week, they were amazing but honestly, you’ve got to wear a helmet.
“I don’t care how short the journey is, I don’t care about the fact that these helmets cost money, they’re crucial. Even with the kids – any short journey – they’ve got to wear a helmet,” he insisted.
He finished by adding: “This weekend is massive, it’s Father’s Day. I want to wish you all a very happy Father’s Day, but please please please wear a helmet. Because if I didn’t, honestly, I wouldn’t be here now.”
