Being Gordon Ramsay has officially dropped on Netflix, following Michelin star celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has he embarks on his latest culinary venture and offering a rare glimpse into his personal life and family over six months.

Speaking to Hits Radio, Gordon explained that he hasn’t actually seen his own docu-series, claiming he doesn’t want to “obsess” about the way he comes across.
“I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen it because I never want to be that sort of little delicate, dainty soul that wants to obsess on how he looks, how he comes across,” Gordon stated.
He added that the past year has been “the most challenging 12 months of our entire lives”, and that attempting the project at 22 Bishopsgate has been a “huge commitment”.
Alongside his business ventures, Gordon opened up in the documentary about his younger brother Ronnie, who has a heroin addiction.
Speaking about their relationship in the doc, Gordon explained that he has a “guilt complex” about his younger brother’s addiction, explaining that it “could have been me”.
“I’ve gone to hell and back with him,” Gordon admitted in the series.
Ronnie does not feature in the Netflix series, nor do two of Gordon’s children, Megan and Jack, due to their jobs and schedules.
