Earlier this week we told you how the British tabloid News of the World broke a story about internationally famous TV chef Gordon Ramsay’s alleged 7-year-affair with Sarah Symonds, a so-called professional mistress. Ramsay threatened to sue the publication for libel and has put on a unified front with his wife of 12 years since then. But no lawsuit has been filed. Now, new reports are surfacing that Ramsay admitted to his wife that he does know Symonds but has only met her on four occasions.
Gordon Ramsay has made a grovelling apology to wife Tana Ramsay, after admitting to meeting ‘mistress’ Sarah Symonds four times, it was alleged today.
The television chef was forced to admit to his wife that he does know Symonds, who insists she has been his mistress for seven years.
But he told his wife – who appears to be prepared to stand by him – that they have only met on four occasions.
The couple appeared near their Wandsworth hand-in-hand, in a show of marital solidarity despite the possibility that further lurid revelations will emerge later this week.
Gordon, 42, and Tana, 33, are said to have pledged to save their twelve year marriage, with the normally hard television chef offering his wife a grovelling apology in the light of the devastating claims.
While the chef refused to apologise directly for any affair, a source told The Daily Mirror Ramsay said: ‘I’m so sorry I’ve put Tana through this.
‘I’ve apologised to her and I feel absolutely dreadful. She really doesn’t deserve all this grief.’
This story just gets more and more interesting. I’m reminded of other famous cheating husbands who were all indignant and denied all allegations at first, then admitted to “knowing” the other woman, and finally to a lot more. The most recent example is John Edwards. What I’m wondering about are the “lurid revelations” that will possibly be revealed this week. By whom? And how lurid?

You know he’s cheating when suddenly he’s a semantics expert. He “knew” her – his d-ck was “acquainted” with her.
Depends on what the definition of “is” is.
Still lying. 4 times in 7 years my arse. Chickens coming home to roost (or roast), Gordon. Can’t wait for the lurid details…who knows how many people will come out of the woodwork before this one’s cooked? I suspect they’ll be good details too, most passionate chefs consider sex in the same light as food – another sensory pleasure – so they really get stuck in and adventurous and dirty…
“Professional Mistress”? Now, even I’ll admit that’s a new one.
These crazy times.
lol Kaiser!
Ahhhh… Gordon, I’m so disappointed. Still like the guy and all, but my number one pet peeve/absolute dislike is someone who lies and Gordon just fell into that category.
I just can’t stand a liar 😐
What surprises me more than anything is that the guy is 42 years old?
His face is like leather and he looks much , much older than that imo.
Bummer – I like him. He’s very sexy. Not so much anymore. Agree with RAN – lying is a huge turn off.
I love how these guys like to have it both ways and expect their wives to “understand” and to “forgive”. So boys, how many of you would be forgiving and understanding of your wife was seeing a “professional” for seven years? Nice to play but not so nice to be played. What an @$$hole.
Supposedly, the “lurid” details include Ramsay’s love of poppers during sex. Poppers? If I didn’t know how old he was that would tell me. Who the hell still does poppers for anything other than medical purposes? So 1982, he is!
no shit i thought he was at least 50 yrs old. looks like he was rode hard-no pun intended.
his wife is a hell of alot prettier than that tranny he was banging. she should leave him AND take half his money. then she can pay some “professional” man to wear a chefs shirt while he’s banging HER! lol..
So I’m confused, when he said he met her on four occasions..was he talking about meeting her at some party, shaking hands and than having sex or just straight meeting to have sex?
I agree with the liar turn off but I think what makes it worse is when they are married and have kids and lie
we don’t know he’s known her for 7 years. i’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He says he’s met her 4 times, we don’t know when he first met her. and there are so many people who are trying to take celeb for all they’re worth these days.
Oh, now he feels bad for his wife. Never thought about that when he was having drug-fueled sex with his hooker.
I hope Tana wakes up and cleans him out.
I don’t know why everyone’s so shocked/surprised – this seems like *exactly* the kind of thing he’d do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he felt so ‘dreadful’: before, after or during? Whatever – it’s up to his wife now. This attitude is so prevalent it’s hard to care.
I’m sure there’s more where this is coming from. Lots more.
Tana’s waaay better looking than that hootchie and has a killer figure. Gordon the food-throwing, lying, abusive menace doesn’t deserve her.
She says professional mistress. I say hooker with a title.
The next time he says Fukc I’m gonna burst out laughing
g………chickens coming home to roast 😆 😆 😆 priceless
completely agree with you holly!
This reminds me of the police interviews on shows like “The First 48.”
“I wasn’t even at the crime scene, detective. I’ve never been there. OK, I was there, but I was just waiting in the car. I was never inside the building. OK, I was inside, but I didn’t do anything. OK, I did something, but …”
If you knew someone very casually, would you be able to say exactly how many times you’ve seen the person over the past seven years?
Gordon Ramsay’s (very normal-looking and -speaking) Mom was featured in an episode of his food show “The F Word”.
I hope she slaps him upside the head but good.
…by saying he’s seen her only four times he is trying to minimize their relationship…next it will be “I only remember seeing four times”…or “I can’t remember the details of what happened when I saw her”…there are a million permutations when one is trying to cover up one’s disgusting behavior.
So how ’bout it kids? Is seeing a hooker still “harmless” when there are families involved or committed relationships involved? How about an answer from you ladies that like to declare you would rather your hubby see a prostitute rather than have an affair? What exactly is the difference anyway, except the hooker gets paid? Don’t you think a lot of these guys have an “emotional” relationship with their favorite little hookers, too? What if, say you are in your 40’s and your wonderful hubby is out paying for sex with 19 year olds and you happen to have a 19 year old daughter?? Is this still okay?
The thing that always kills me with cheaters is that the spouse is home taking care of kids, house, etc. and most likely not getting their own needs met emotionally or sexually.
When you are a philandering parent you are not just cheating on your spouse, you are cheating on your whole family and for what? To bust a nut? You should have just gone home. You reap what you sow. Although it’s not right, I hope his wife finds a younger man and visits him 4 times herself. Lord knows she probably needs it.
it depends what the word “it” is . . .
Ha ha! These comments absolutely kill me. Yeah, when you get caught the hair splitting begins. I don’t know about you, but when I meet someone casually, I can hardly recall how MANY times I’ve met them – 4 times in 7 years? What Gordon meant to say was he f–ked this broad 4 times in THAT HOTEL in the past 7 years.
What a silly rabbit.
Ramsays and tana couple problems are their problems, alone. It’s really the business of none except gordon and tana. People do things, people are certain ways, that’s just how people are. I like ramsay, he’s done things and say things I agree with. And even if he does bad things, I’m still going to support him because that who he is. My support is not conditional. I respect and accept who he is, flaws and qualities alike. And if he’s the guy with a mistress, then he’ll be the guy with a mistress and that’s that. You just can’t expect people to be perfect, you have to like them just as they are. Everything’s he’s done in his life is quite remarkable, and there’s a lot to learn from it. And even if he’s done some bad things, he’s still that person.
Is this another Christie Brinkley story minus the big age difference? The guy makes $7,000,000. a year, complains that the shitty food he has to eat has caused his major ulcer. Could it be stress? Of course this hooker will try to make some real money now that he is so rich and famous. He is indeed a piece of work…
#25 (Max), Although I agree with you, EVERYONE passes judgment even in the slightest at some point in time in their lives and if they say they don’t they are full of shit.
If you really want to practice that unconditional support for Mr. Ramsey you might not want to be reading this gossip shit in the first place. Get down off your pedestal before you fall off.
dude, he most certainly is NOT sexy or attractive in the slightest
he is so wrinkly, and saggy, there is no way he is 42, he must have bad genes or just have a droopy face from all of that yelling and swearing at people
i can’t believe anyone would sleep with him, i wouldn’t touch that mess with a 10 foot pole..
I’m not at all surprised. Tana should be allowed to take a lover to even the score. I wonder if he slept with any of the contestants from Hell’s Kitchen too?
If this affair is true, I am so effing p!ssed….I will never, ever deal with (i.e. watch) a GD adulterer. They are the lowest of the low, breaking vows and ruining the trust they should have treasured with their partner. Poor Tana – go get yourself a b1tch of a divorce lawyer and clean him out if it’s true.
I just can’t see physically how people can find Gordon Ramsey attractive!? He has a rough/scarred face and no facial symmetry. His public personna is strong, however I just cannot see how anyone could find his physically appealing. Tho the money and power thing always helps.
What an arse you are Gordon…. A real arse!I we all know your a cook, why ‘cook’ up shit to serve to your gorgeous wife and children?! Ur a Real hypocrite whose in desperate need if Botox!
