Tracy Grimshaw Admits She was Wrong and Gordon Ramsay Apologises

Tracey sort of admitted that Gordon Ramsay didn’t makes statements about her sexuality – but DIDN’T retract the statement, merely trying to clarify what she meant – a bit weak! She did accept Gordon’s apology and stated she didn’t want to discuss the matter further.

Gordon talks frankly about what happened, saying that it wasn’t clever, but is part of his normal banter and apologised for any hurt caused, making it clear that it wasn’t his intention! Gordon Ramsay tells us that he made attempts to contact Tracey Grimshaw, actions which weren’t reciprocated, but did eventually were today.

Gordon stated what the videos that we have seen show, someone from the crowd first suggested the pig was Tracey Grimshaw. He also says that he never called her a lesbian but admits that he got carried away with the moment and played up for the crowd. He admits it was stupid and horrified that it caused so much trouble - and even copped a bollocking off his mother.

Gordon Ramsay does a great job of putting the whole incident into perspective and partly explains how all of the pieces were assembled for the incident to gain a life of its own and eventually to demonise him.

Even the reporter was being ridiculous with some of his questions - maybe he is due for a job on A Current Affair or Today Tonight. He had an agenda and wouldn’t let go and kept pushing mute points that had been addressed- I think he came off worse, whoever he is!

You can see the full interview here - the title is “Ramsay Backs Down”.

At the end of the day, it was a few jokes gone wrong, blown out of all proportion – an embarrassment for all people involved, especially that lower level of the Australian media that these shows exist on!

Gordon Ramsay Getting it as Good as he Gives

Just as I predicted earlier in a posting at the Plonker Club, the Home of the Unofficial Gortdon Ramsay Fansite), Gordon Ramsay well and truly met his match when appearing on Rove Live in Australia on Sunday night. Gordon’s ’shock and awe’ tactics of swearing and then sledging the host (which have served him so well in Australia to date and made for some great entertainment) didn’t work with well known local comedian and television show host Rove McManus as he constantly ‘one-upped’ the celebrity chef at almost every opportunity.

From the outset, as is typical, Gordon Ramsay instantly went after Rove’s short stature, but since this isn’t a sore point for Rove - the comments and swearing didn’t rattle him, and Rove just went along with it, as well as joining in. The host swearing back at the star of Hell’s Kitchen actually slowed Chef Ramsay down a little - and he never recovered!

The first such instance was very soon after the interview started, with Gordon talking about his big feet, and Rove’s golden comeback was ‘do you have a big d!ck?’. After that it was great comic viewing with them both trading verbal blows. Rove Mcmanus even went for the jugular a few times when bringing up the controversy around comments made about Tracey Grimshaw, who had interviewed him days earlier.

The host had also done his homework, knowing that Gordon Ramsay hates being called a celebrty chef! Just to note, their wasn’t any bleeping when the showed aired!

It is a great interview, lots of fun watching the two pros battle it out. Here is the video, it runs for about eight minutes. If you then follow the link to the host’s homepage - www. rovedaily.com.au you can also view some of the out-takes and behind the scenes stuff.
