To step my dislike of Gordon Ramsey up a notch because of this?

I think he's an arrogant, mouthy fuckwad anyway. THEN I heard on Daybreak breakfast television this morning, on a segment they were doing about fathers needing more support after their DPs/DWs have given birth, that Gordy dodged all four of his children's births because he was "scared it would ruin his relationship."

Shock

So in other words, he didn't want to be there in case the sight of his wife's fanjo looking less than pristine put him off having sex with her ever again. He is not a man, he is a child in a man's body. I am also judging his wife for allowing this type of bullshit to continue through four pregnancies. Fair enough, he doesn't want to go down the "business end" but what kind of man would refuse to be there to hold his wife's hand/brow mop/be an object to punch whilst she is giving birth to the child that HE helped create, just in case it ruined his desire for sexy times?

He's an idiot, isn't he?

All modern actors are fairly camp though aren't they? There aren't many attractive manly types around.

Just because a bloke has a bug knob does not mean he has to act like one.

A bloke who plays the 'I'm too much of a man to do girly stuff' is generally a 'pansy' in my eyes

As for the gay bit.... probably !

LauraShigihara · 15/11/2011 11:27

When I was pregnant and very randy, I had the dirtiest dream about Mr Ramsey. Now I know it could never be ...

BupcakesandCunting · 15/11/2011 11:28

I remember when Tana did her smuggery cookery book and Gordon was on telly going "Ugh it's SHIT, full of shit! It's awful." What a bastard. It WAS shit, but I am allowed to say that as I am not her husband. Who needs enemies when you have a husband like him, eh?

'big' knob

Not heard of 'bug' knob - could be a new fad!!

Animation · 15/11/2011 11:30

What does a bug knob look like?

Thumbwitch · 15/11/2011 11:34

Aren't some bug knobs corkscrew shaped, like ducks' knobs?

Thumbwitch · 15/11/2011 11:38

cockroach knob for edification. More hooky than corkscrew

MrsDistinctlyMintyMonetarism · 15/11/2011 11:38

Noooooo! Someone mentioned duck knobs. It'll be duck sex next!

or the old familiar

LadyWord · 15/11/2011 11:38

God bupcakes, that's awful. How can she stand it?

Andrewofgg · 15/11/2011 11:39

There aren't any notches into which to up my dislike of Mr Ramsay . . .

littlemonkeybix · 15/11/2011 12:26

Didn't Hugh Jackman discuss the rumours on Jonathon Ross's show recently... saying his brother used to give him loads of abuse because he wanted to do dance and singing etc... then he saw him do a show, and apologised and told him he was great etc etc

I'm more than happy to maintain his straightness Grin He can test it on me if he likes!

PosiesOfPoinsettia · 15/11/2011 12:30

Yeah, the m ore I read about this rumour the less I believe.

mrsruffallo · 16/11/2011 10:18

Gay rumours seem to haunt almost every male 'celebrity'. It's not even that outrageous is it?
Google most male actors/ celebrity and there is always at least one search result for 'gay rumours'.
It's dull. Sexual persuasion is usually the least interesting thing about a person.

edam · 16/11/2011 10:21

He may be an idiot, but he does run damn fine restaurants. Which is all I want him to do, really, even though I can't afford to eat in the fine dining ones. He should concentrate on cooking and shut up about everything else!

LadyWord · 16/11/2011 10:50

But it is slightly more interesting watching someone go through all sorts of crazy shenanigans to make people think they're not gay. Maybe it's wrong to be prurient about it, but it's not surprising it's a source of gossip. These days I think it's true that hardly anyone cares at all if someone is gay - we could all name dozens of openly gay public figures who are far better known for the actual jobs they do - but trying to hide it does get people's interest.

kenobi · 16/11/2011 12:11

edam his 'gastropub-style' eateries have their food made in a central location then bussed out to be reheated at the various venues. Not speculation - it's openly known.

And don't get me started on 'big name' restaurants where you have to pay a premium to eat food that hasn't actually been cooked by the chef in question. It's like paying to see the Beach Boys in concert and getting a tribute act. Sure you're still getting the tunes, but it's not the same!

BadTasteFlump · 16/11/2011 12:15

He is a total wanker. I can think of nothing else to say about him Smile

NinkyNonker · 16/11/2011 12:17

I have just come back to this thread after my early rant and am Shock!

I went right off him after the prostitute professional girlfriend scandal.

HalfTermHero · 16/11/2011 16:07

Scared of seeing his wife's bits birthing? What a fucking cowardly loser. My dh delivered our dc2. To this day he is all over my box like a ferret up a trouser leg everytime he gets the chance. That tends to be the case when you marry a straight man Grin.

grovel · 16/11/2011 16:54

I loathe the man but would not condemn him for this "crime" unless I was sure his DW had wanted him there. There's no obligation for a man to be present. I would think a man a feeble-minded shit though if he absented himself against his partner's wishes.

Most men want to be there and those who don't who have a wife who wants them there will be there. My father was in the 60s for example.

As for him in August he issued his court claim against most of her family against her " father, mother, sister, brother, brother?s wife ? and even her father?s alleged mistress. All six were named in an explosive writ lodged at the High Court containing a blizzard of claims from the celebrity chef.
Ramsay wants millions in compensation from Chris Hutcheson ? father of his wife, Tana, and whom he sacked as chief executive of his restaurant empire ? after alleging his one-time mentor:

Hacked into Ramsay?s personal and company files thousands of times.
Is a serial womaniser who wrongly withdrew £1.42 million from the company to fund a double life with a secret second ?wife? and family.
Paid his mistress £5,000 a month for doing nothing.
Put his real wife and son on the company payroll too, and wrote five-figure cheques to himself.

Ramsay also claims that Hutcheson?s married son, Adam, splashed company cash on taking a female ?friend? to Australia, and that father and son wiped emails to cover their tracks, before admitting: ?Guess we have been rumbled.?

The fiery TV cook embarked on the bombshell High Court action after being painted as the villain in the bitter nine-month rift that is tearing apart his family and his business empire.

Now the reasons behind the blood feud are laid bare in 42 pages of accusations against Hutcheson, his wife Greta, his wife Tana?s sister Orlanda Butland, her brother Adam, his wife Adelaide and Hutcheson?s alleged mistress Sara Stewart."

GR supposedly had a 7 year affairs so presumably he and his fatheri n law are two of a kind and his wife was brought up with that kind of man and married one of them too more fool here.

Hugh J rumours are just that. Definitely not true, unless he's also fooling people who've known him since school days.

LoremIpsum · 16/11/2011 22:33

He's also a really nice bloke.
