Gordon Ramsay in 2015 Ironman World Championship

I don’t feel particularly cool for shedding a tear at Gordon Ramsay’s first Iron Man finish following his “brutal” cycling accident last year, but hey – I seem to have become the sports-loving person of my teen nightmares.

In my defence, the seemingly body-wide injury, for which Gordon was hospitalised, was severe enough to leave the famously tough TV icon “shaken” and “lucky to be standing here.”

In an Instagram post, the multi-Michelin-starred chef shared a clip of the touching moment, writing: “It’s taken a lot [of] hard work and training to get me back to where I am today, and it was all for this.”

“I’M BACK and cooking,” he joked above footage of him kissing wife Tana at the finish line of the swimming, running, and cycling feat.
