Watch The New Gordon Ramsay Documentary

One of the world’s most famous chefs, Gordon Ramsay is no stranger to the small screen. From his early days on Hell’s Kitchen to judging on MasterChef, he’s renowned for his fiery personality – as well as his prolific restaurant empire. But a new Netflix documentary will show Ramsay from a more intimate and personal angle. Being Gordon Ramsay is a six-part series following the lead-up to the opening of his latest London food empire at 22 Bishopsgate, which opened last year and cost a whopping £20m. But the show will also offer a behind-the-scenes look at Ramsay’s family life with wife Tana and their six children. We hear from Tana about the struggles of being married to a high-profile chef: ‘It is very difficult when someone is away a lot and has a job as demanding as Gordon,’ she says. ‘Thirty-odd years and it hasn’t got any easier.’ Ramsay acknowledges that his job has made him an absent parent at points, and vows to be around more for his younger children. He also reflects on his ‘torrid’ relationship with his own father, a violent alcoholic who didn’t understand his passion for cooking, and died before Ramsay opened his first restaurant. ‘Of course, deep down inside, I would have liked for my dad to have tasted something and to have said “yes, good job”,’ Ramsay says. ‘You want validation from your parents, but I'll come back to the values that I stand for, and the most important family ever is the family that you build.’ Watch now

Property Of The Day

This Grade I listed home was originally built as a medieval parsonage for the Church of St Margaret until it ceased to function in 1592. Remodelled in 1678, 1777 and 1927, Tintinhull Court boasts 17th century wall panelling, indulgent window seats and historic fireplaces. Our favourite feature? The library (and its 14th century wooden carved ceiling) is found in a hidden hall with its own circular staircase.
