Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has reportedly acquired an additional property in Cornwall despite expressing his dislike for the local residents. Ramsay, 59, along with his wife Tana Ramsay, purchased their second Cornish residence through their new company Rocky Bay Estates. The new house features four bedrooms and a spacious two-acre plot, situated near their existing beachside property in Rock.
Their primary family home in Rock, bought for £4.4 million in 2015 and extensively renovated, served as their retreat during the 2020 lockdown. However, this move sparked criticism from neighbors, particularly those residing outside urban areas, who felt that individuals like Ramsay, owning secondary residences, were contributing to the virus spread by relocating from cities to rural or coastal homes.
In an interview with Scott Mills to promote his Netflix documentary “Being Gordon Ramsay,” Ramsay expressed his deep affection for Cornwall, praising its surfing and swimming opportunities. Nonetheless, his sentiments toward Cornish people were less favorable. During a conversation with Vernon Kay on BBC Radio 2, Ramsay mentioned his love for the Cornish coast but admitted his aversion to the locals.
Ramsay’s Netflix series offered viewers a glimpse into his personal life beyond the culinary world, revealing a softer side of the renowned chef known for his fiery temper in the kitchen. However, Sarah Symonds, who claimed to have had a seven-year affair with Ramsay, disputed the portrayal of Ramsay as a contented family man, branding the docu-series as “fake.” Symonds alleged that her involvement with Ramsay dated back to 2001, contradicting the image presented in the show.
Symonds criticized the documentary in an interview with the Daily Mail, denouncing it as misleading and disingenuous, asserting that the depiction of Ramsay’s life was overly sanitized. She contended that the series failed to capture the authentic essence of the celebrity chef.
