Gordon Ramsay's recent interview on the High Performance podcast has received criticism from fans for being 'unrelatable'. The world-famous chef spoke of the challenges he has faced in his life, including a story about his family's financial difficulties.
In the teaser clip, Gordon recalled the time he and his wife, Tana, were 'skint' and had to ask his father-in-law for money. He said they had saved half of the money needed for a flat deposit, so asked his father-in-law for the other half. Gordon offered to pay him back in a year and pay for the lunch, to which his father-in-law responded, 'Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll have another lunch with you when you sell your Porsche.'
At the time, they had no roof over their heads but Gordon was driving around in a 'flash' Porsche 911, which starts at around £40,000. Understandably, fans did not find the story very relatable and joked on social media about the 'rags to riches' tale. One viewer wrote, 'Has there ever been a less relatable story?' while another joked, 'Skint = £20k in the bank and driving around in a 911. Good advice though. Kids, if you’re struggling… just sell your Porsche.'
Thankfully, Gordon managed to buy the Porsche back 10 years later. He wrapped up the story by saying he had sold the car at the time but bought it back 10 years later - the exact same car. Gordon's representatives have yet to comment on the situation.
