Gordon Ramsay doesn't take it easy on his daughters' boyfriends.
During an interview with Extra's Mark Wright, the award-winning chef and TV personality opened up about life with his family when the cameras aren't rolling. Ramsay, 54, said that his daughters used to bring their friends over, but that's changed in recent years.
"Four or five years ago, they used to bring friends home. Now they bring boyfriends home, which really grates on me," he said.
When asked if he cooks meals for the boyfriends, Ramsay joked that he stares them down while holding a knife.
"I just stand there, about to chop onions and stare at them with a knife and go, 'You are not going upstairs, you little s—,'" Ramsay said.
He added: "You are not going to go upstairs and rehearse that English exam. You are f------ staying downstairs. What the f--- would you like to eat and what time do you have to be f------ kicked out of here."
Ramsay is the father of five children: Megan, 23; Holly, 21; Jack, 21; Matilda, 19; and 2-year-old Oscar.
During the pandemic, he went viral when he appeared on his daughter Matilda's TikTok account, and delighted fans when he released videos of his own.
In May, Holly Ramsay launched a new mental-health podcast in which she revealed that she was sexually assaulted twice at age 18.
"I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and since then, I have been in therapy up to three times a week," Holly said. "I now have these diagnoses that I carry with me. It's confusing, and I'm trying to channel that and take control of my narrative and use that to make something good."
She added: "My family has been an amazing support. It's brought me closer to them in many ways."
