Gordon Ramsay, showing off bruised torso, says he’s ‘lucky to be here’ after bike crash

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay says he “wouldn’t be here now” if he hadn’t been wearing a helmet during a bicycle accident in Connecticut last week. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who got into a bicycle accident in Connecticut last week, showed off widespread bruising on his torso as a cautionary tale to “all the dads out there.” In a Saturday video posted on his social media accounts ahead of Father’s Day, the “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares” star demanded that his followers “WEAR A HELMET,” explaining that he might have been in worse shape if he had not worn one. “It really shook me and obviously I’m lucky to be here,” the reality-competition star said, adding, “you’ve got to wear a helmet. Even with the kids, a short journey, they’ve got to wear a helmet.” Gordon Ramsay has a soft side -- really Gordon Ramsay sees a higher purpose working with young cooks on “MasterChef Junior”: “I adore them.” The father of six wished his followers a happy Father’s Day, but on a slightly somber note.
