The Michelin-starred chef, 57, was speaking on the podcast Dish, hosted by fellow chef Angela Hartnett, who is a close friend of his wife Tana.

Gordon, host of TV show Kitchen Nightmares, cuts in: “Yeah and they’re all Jamie Oliver recipes. Do you have any idea how hard that is for me?”
The feud began in 2009 when Oliver, 49, criticised Ramsay for comparing a journalist to a pig.
Ramsay apologised to the woman but said the Naked Chef was a “one-pot wonder”.
Oliver then mocked his rival for “having Botox”.
However, in 2019, Ramsay said Oliver was “a great chef”, revealing the families had holidayed together.
