This was a surprising revelation regarding one of his personal opinions. During the premiere episode, Gordon spoke of his decision to invite food influencers, and no food critics, to a teaser event ahead of the launch. “It was just to f*** every food critic off in the country,” said Ramsay.
He recalled an experience with his wife, Tana, where they read a piece in the newspaper: ‘The failed footballer that had a shotgun wedding.’ Ramsay shared how it hurt them. “And it caused such hurt amongst us, because it was like, ‘How does that relate to food?’ ”

Gordon Ramsay also shared that he has great respect for influencers, saying, “They are powerful.”
