Gordon Ramsay is looking forward to “seeing my neighbors in Cornwall” when the blockade ends

Gordon Ramsay made a thin, veiled shot at his neighbors in Cornwall following his highly publicized spitting with them.

Several residents complained that his family spent Block 1 at their home on the coast last spring; and the 54-year-old TV chef mocked them in a recent interview.

Asked what he was looking forward to when Block 3 finally ended, Gordon said, “I’m going back to see my Cornwall neighbors.”

He also joked, “And guess what? I invited Joe Biden to breakfast. Wait to see who I’ll come to for breakfast. Big Joe! You know he’s coming for the G7!

The new president is due to attend the G7 meeting at the resort on Carbis Bay beach near St Ives this year, with Gordon adding that his neighbors will “go crazy”.

Gordon angered locals after moving into his second home in Cornwall during the coronavirus crisis, despite the government urging the British not to travel.

The star – who has since returned to London – has been seen several times on long trips when outings were still limited to one hour a day, including a walk on the beach with her whole family.

At the time, the ardent chef was accompanied by his wife Tana, 46, and three of their five children – Jack, 21, Matilda, 18, and Oscar, one – during a quick walk on the sand.

The Hell’s Kitchen star also landed in hot water with local coastguards, who are said to have issued an official warning about the apparent violation of the blocking rules.

Sources said Gordon was seen in Rock, Fowey, Port Isaac and Newquay – at a distance of £ 4 million from Trebetherick.

While people with second homes are not allowed to travel back and forth during the blockade, choosing a home and spending time there has not been against official advice.

A family friend told MailOnline: “The family sees Cornwall as their family home, when the children return from uni, and Gordon returns to filming around the world, where they spend all their time together.

“They’ve been there for 10 years and Jack actually lives in the house there full time. Most of their neighbors are so welcoming and love to be part of the community.

“The campaign against them is painful and useless at a time when we should all unite and support each other.”

Gordon also said in his recent interview that he can change a diaper with his eyes closed after spending so much time at home.

He said his youngest son, Oscar, became his “best partner” during the closure and changed a total of about 150 diapers.

“Having the chance to spend that time with your family is unprecedented,” he said. “So we were very lucky to meet all seven of us.

“The only one we’re missing now is Jack, he’s active as Royal Marine, and again, you depend on those Zoom calls. But it’s much harder for young people between the ages of 18 and 25, because they can’t see an exit like you, as an adult and a parent, so the reconnection is great.

“And on top of that is the quality time. I probably went through about 150 diapers with Oscar. I can literally change a diaper with my eyes closed and he became my best partner.

“And how appropriate it is for my first best friend to now be a Royal Marine commando and have a new best friend in the Oscars.

“I think he should have a buzzcut, I suggest we go number two on top and shave him sideways to number two.”

The chef is hosting a new game show on BBC One, called Gordon Ramsay’s Bank Balance.

He said of this: “There is something quite dynamic about a show at 9pm, stripped naked for nine nights on the BBC. You wake up in the morning and don’t feel alone.

“It is very rare to have the opportunity not to present your own show, but to be part of that creative team. And that was the little thing that got me out of bed every morning at 5 in the morning.

“You look at the success of The Chase, The Wall, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? coming back, this type of connection is definitely needed. And the bank balance offers that.

Hoping the show would be “an amazing success,” Gordon added: “I participated 12 hours a day, five days a week. [in lockdown]. I never would have thought it was a home. There will be a lot of eyeballs to this.

In format, competitors win up to £ 100,000 by answering questions against the clock to gain the chance to balance the bars over a pyramid that is in danger of collapsing.

“I wanted a kind of avant-garde that would intimidate every damn guest who climbs those stairs,” he said of the bench-like gold vault set.

Gordon Ramsay’s bank balance starts on BBC One on February 24 at 21:00.
