What's Gordon Ramsay said about being fat?
The famous chef revealed despite winning his third Michelin star, his long working hours meant he never ate properly and snacked a lot instead.
Partner Tana, with whom he has four children, told him that he needed to take care of himself better or risk losing her.
The TV star told The Times in an interview: "Tana was not impressed with the way I was.
"I was overweight, 18 stone. I looked like a sack of s***. I look at the pictures and think, 'How did Tana stay around?'
";Because Tana has got better-looking and more gorgeous. And there she is, getting in bed with a fat f***.
Going on beach holidays with famous friends David and Victoria Beckham also made him feel more self-conscious. He claimed: "I didn't have a figure. I didn't feel that good."
Aside from keeping the romance alive, he also revealed that his other motivation for prioritising his health was because his father died from a heart attack at the age of 53, and he wanted to be around for Megan, 19, twins Holly and Jack, both 18 and Tilly, 16.
He explained: "It was painful. I used to look at myself in the mirror and think, 'Holy s***!' So it was a big wake-up call.'
