"So painful": Gordon Ramsay overwhelmed by MasterChef tribute

<p dir="ltr">The late Jock Zonfrillo has been remembered in a heartfelt tribute from friends, fellow chefs, and TV personalities on a special episode of <em>The Sunday Project.</em></p> <p dir="ltr">The likes of Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White represented the culinary world as they honoured their late friend, with the former moved to tears while opening up about the “good times” they’d shared together - both on and off the <em>Masterchef Australia </em>set. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Spending time on the floor with Jock in <em>MasterChef </em>was electrifying,” he shared, “but it was always something quite encouraging about the s**t we’d gone through to get to where we’d been.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Plus it was an incredible stage that you’re on with <em>MasterChef Australia</em>. It’s the most-watched <em>MasterChef </em>anywhere on the planet, so it’s a privilege. </p> <p dir="ltr">“And being present in that room, welcoming Jock to the platform, was just one of those experiences I’ll never forget.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“Being in the [<em>Masterchef</em>] environment sort of took us back 20 years,” he added, “there’s something quite amazing about two Scotts coming together in Australia, it makes you happy, at the end of the day you feel good.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“The ripples have been devastating,” Ramsay revealed. “No-one’s gonna get over this quickly.</p> <p dir="ltr">“If there’s one thing that we’ve done as chefs, we’ve united. And we’re talking about the good times, so.” </p> <p dir="ltr">It was then that the world-renowned chef had to pause, overcome with emotion, before he managed to share, “it’s just so painful.”</p> <p dir="ltr">And when it came to Zonfrillo’s enduring legacy, Ramsay noted that his late friend and fellow Scot was “never done as a chef, he still had years to go.” </p> <p dir="ltr">“His legacy’s gonna be that kilt,” he added, tears in his eyes, “and just what he stood for.” </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">The ripples of Jock Zonfrillo’s death will be felt throughout the culinary world, said Gordon Ramsay. <a href="https://t.co/87QEjpN8FT">pic.twitter.com/87QEjpN8FT</a></p> <p>— The Project (@theprojecttv) <a href="https://twitter.com/theprojecttv/status/1655141267360169986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 7, 2023</a></p></blockquote> <p dir="ltr">Chef Marco Pierre White had similar sentiments in mind when it was his turn to speak about their friend, sharing his belief that “Jock Zonfrillo will never die. He will live on through everyone he touched. </p> <p dir="ltr">“He lives within it, us, and everybody who watches that show, a little piece of him will be still in there. That‘s the truth.”</p> <p dir="ltr">It was a statement that rang true with fans and supporters of both Zonfrillo and the show, with many taking to social media in response to the tribute, sharing their grief and sympathy for all who’d known and loved him.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Heart wrenching,” one said. “I will watch this series one day but not now I just can’t. A lovely tribute”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Rest in peace Jock , you will be remembered as a legend forever,” one wrote.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Beautiful tribute to Jock tonight. Like so many others I felt like I lost a friend despite never having met him. Hope his beautiful family find some solace over time in everyone's words about their experience with this remarkable man,” shared another. “Vale Jock Zonfrillo.”</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: The Project / Ten</em></p>

Real life Ramsay Street resident reveals Neighbours secrets

<p>As the beloved Aussie soap <em>Neighbours</em> is being revived, a man who lives on the famous cul-de-sac has given some insight into the filming process.</p> <p>Miles Shackley has revealed what it’s really like to live at the 5 Pin Oak Court, Vermont South, Melbourne address, known by fans as Dr Karl and Susan Kennedy’s house on fictional Ramsay Street.</p> <p>Mr Shackley spoke on <em>news.com.au</em>'s podcast I’ve Got News For You; originally from the UK, he purchased the house in 2020, right before the pandemic hit, with his partner Hayley Jones, who just so happens to be a massive <em>Neighbours</em> fan.</p> <p>While the pair knew the fictional street would be no less than a tourist hotspot, they were shocked by just how many fans go out of their way to stop by to snap some pictures.</p> <p>“We still do get a fairly steady stream of people who just come along,” he told podcast host Andrew Bucklow. “I mean, there were official tours, but during the week, you get the occasional people who come and pose with the Ramsay Street signs and stuff.</p> <p>“But in general, it’s a public road, so people can just come along anyway. And that’s typically what we see happening, really, is just people coming along and take a few photos and that kind of thing. So it’s nice. It’s good that it still maintains that level of interest.”</p> <p>Mr Shakley was informed by previous residents that experienced fans knocking on their door, but it was generally more difficult for them to do so during the later seasons of the show as a security company patrolled and closed off the street during production.</p> <p>He also explained that only exterior scenes were shot on his street, any interior shots were filmed at a studio nearby. During filming, which spans anywhere from two to six hours, once or twice a week, he said he and his partner are asked to stay inside while the crew film on the property.</p> <p>Mr Shackley did not comment on reports that residents were paid somewhere between $33,000 to $50,000 a year by the production company to film on their property, but he did say it wasn’t an inconvenience.</p> <p>"You could be at home, that was no problem at all. But they typically ask us to remove our cars,” he explained. “I just often park it around the corner for them the previous night. But there’s no real impact, really – they just sort of let us know when they are filming and basically asked us not to come out the front door in the middle of a shot.”</p> <p>He also said that his partner thought it would be funny to volunteer him as an extra during contract renegotiations with Fremantle.</p> <p>“You’re speaking to sort the rules and regulations and what we’re meant to do and what we’re not. And [Fremantle] said, ‘Any questions?’ and my partner said, ‘Yes, commodity and extra fees.’ So she volunteered me,” he said, which resulted in his hands appearing on two episodes of the soap.</p> <p>Living right in the middle of the show’s action has always been a novelty for the couple, which almost came to an end in 2022 as UK broadcaster Channel 5 did not renew the show's contract. This meant that after 37 years of filming and 8.903 episodes, the show was set to end.</p> <p>“We were disappointed. Not for the show, but it was more just for the crew and the cast,” Mr Shackley said. “Obviously it was sad that the show was coming to an end. We were just kind of sad for them – and we knew we’d miss the sort of activity outside.”</p> <p>Only three months after what was supposed to be the finale, Amazon Freevee signed a deal with Fremantle to revive the treasured show.</p> <p><em>Image credit: Instagram/Youtube</em></p>

Gordon Ramsay makes piping hot profit on seaside mansion

<p dir="ltr">The foul-mouthed celebrity chef has flipped his Cornwall mansion for £7.5 million ($AUD 13 million), earning him the title of this year’s most expensive sale in the area.</p> <p dir="ltr">Gordon Ramsay famously spent much of 2020 in the Cornwall home, which made appearances as the backdrop for his clips on Instagram.</p> <p dir="ltr">According to property records, he went on to sell the six-bedroom, four-bathroom home for the princely sum in 2021, as reported by <em><a href="https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/celebs-tv/gordon-ramsay-sells-home-75-7038948" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cornwall Live</a></em>.</p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-9461f89e-7fff-96c3-ed01-aa9604f7b485">It also seems to have served him a tidy profit, after he initially spent £4 million ($7 million) on the property - resulting in a cool $6 million in his pocket, per <em><a href="https://www.domain.com.au/news/gordon-ramsay-flips-seaside-mansion-in-record-breaking-deal-2-1137168/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Domain</a></em>.</span></p> <p><img src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/2022/05/ramsay-1.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Ramsay’s Cornwall home has made several appearances on his social media accounts, including clips with his daughter Tilly Ramsay. Image: ITV</em></p> <p dir="ltr">Though we know very little about the home - besides it also boasting a swimming pool and tennis court - Ramsay’s time in Cornwall has been anything but uneventful.</p> <p dir="ltr">In 2016, he infuriated his neighbours and local community members while engaged in a eight-month planning battle with council to bulldoze another Cornwall property which housed a 1920s-built home called Lanarth.</p> <p dir="ltr">The Michelin star chef won his fight, levelling the home and replacing it with a new mansion which he still owns.</p> <p dir="ltr">Even more recently, Ramsay sparked ire among the seaside community after appearing on radio and saying: “Trust me, I absolutely love Cornwall, it’s just the Cornish I can’t stand.” </p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-be0ae0ca-7fff-bc50-2cb6-3c6179692f6b"></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: @gordongram (Instagram)</em></p>

Gordon Ramsy praises pandemic for closing “bad” restaurants

<p dir="ltr">Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has been caught stirring the pot again. This time, saying that a silver lining of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the forced closure of many bad restaurants taking up space in prime locations.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The crap’s gone,” Ramsay told UK magazine Radio Times in a recent interview.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Just sh**holes in a prime position and taking advantage because they’re in a great location, and they’ve got the footfall [have closed].</p> <p dir="ltr">“But now we’ve wiped the slate clean, which is good.”</p> <p dir="ltr">In the interview, the Hell’s Kitchen host, known for being fiery in the kitchen, admitted the last two years of the pandemic have been “devastating” for the hospitality sector in Britain. He said the industry “was on its arse, but it’s getting better”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It’s been devastating the last two years. Landlords don’t say, ‘Take a holiday for two years.’ But I think what has been evident for all of us is the crap’s gone.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Last year, the restaurateur himself estimated his eateries in England lost more than $100 million in the first year of the pandemic due to loss of business during lengthy UK lockdowns.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I get criticised for being wealthy, but the responsibility on my shoulders – the livelihoods at stake – is huge,” Ramsay told The Sun at the time.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">“I do feel under pressure to give my younger members of staff, especially, some hope, and the sense that we can get out of this. There have been so many tears, people at their wits’ end.”</p> <p dir="ltr">At the start of the pandemic in April 2020, more than 1.5 million hospitality workers in the UK were furloughed. It accounted for a quarter of all furloughed staff across Britain.</p> <p dir="ltr">Last year in the week leading up to Christmas, as the Omicron variant ripped through the UK, pubs, bars and restaurants each lost on average $18,000 in what should have been the busiest trading week of the year.</p> <p dir="ltr">In the recent interview with Radio Times, the 55-year-old said throughout the pandemic, restaurants have had to “raise their game” to stay alive.</p> <p dir="ltr">He said that it has meant a positive outcome of the last two years is that customers are getting better quality from eateries.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Customers have got so much smarter in the last two years,” he said.</p> <p dir="ltr">“They know a lot more about food than they ever have done and have been making their own sourdough, so it’s taught everyone [in the restaurant industry] to raise their game.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It’s wiped the arrogance from the industry.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Ramsay takes over Jamie Oliver’s ‘failure’. Gordon recently took advantage of a business closing himself, when he took over a location formerly owned by fellow celebrity chef Jamie Oliver in Liverpool, England.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It’s sad that Jamie didn’t make it here – the site is amazing”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It was never my intention to take over Jamie’s Italian. Jamie and I are mates everyone thinks we’re not, but we are. Two summers ago we sat in the garden with our kids and had an amazing evening talking, drinking, laughing, crying and just having a proper heart-to-heart.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It had nothing to do with it being his old site. Whether it was Marco Pierre White or Jamie Oliver, it didn’t matter who had the house beforehand. The location was absolutely spot on.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Where Jamie failed, there’s a big learning curve for all of us. One man’s failure is the next man’s success.”</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">The site is the new home to Ramsay’s 35th restaurant – the Liverpool Bread Street Kitchen &amp; Bar.</p> <p><em>Image: Getty</em></p>

Neighbours fans launch desperate bid to save the show

<p>Dedicated <em>Neighbours</em> fans have launched a desperate plea to stop the show from facing cancellation. </p><p>Thousands of British viewers of the Aussie soap have signed a petition to "find a way to keep <em>Neighbours</em> on air" after news that UK network Channel 5 was withdrawing its partnership with Australian production company Fremantle Media. </p><p>The cancellation of the broadcast partnership has put the future of the series in jeopardy, with Channel 5 footing the majority of the production bill.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.change.org/p/channel-5-channel-5-don-t-axe-neighbours?recruiter=false&amp;utm_source=share_petition&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_message&amp;utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial&amp;recruited_by_id=bf8fa2f0-8739-11ec-968a-f93edd77906a&amp;share_bandit_exp=message-32279051-en-GB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">change.org petition</a> states that <em>Neighbours</em> has “been a staple on UK screens for over 35 years – and has been watched by generations”.</p><p>“<em>Neighbours</em> is more than just a TV show – it is a source of comfort and entertainment for generations of fans who have watched it for decades.”</p><p>The petition, which has racked up more than 16,000 so far, cited the series as “one of the most-loved TV shows in the UK”, adding that “even Adele is a fan”.</p><p><em>Neighbours</em> draws around 1.5 million UK viewers daily, and up to 170,000 metro viewers in Australia.</p><p>Production on the show has been paused for Monday, with <a href="https://tvtonight.com.au/2022/02/neighbours-future-in-limbo-as-uk-confirms-it-will-cease-broadcasting.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV Tonight</a> reporting that the cast and crew will be attending a meeting to discuss the situation and future of the show. </p><p>Network Ten says it stays "committed" to the series and is feeling "hopeful" a deal can be reached, but an email sent from <em>Neighbours</em>' executive producer Jason Herbison to staff on the set, paints a more bleak picture of the future of the show. </p><p>“As you know the future of the show has been uncertain for some time. Our audience remains steady and Channel 10 would love the show to continue if we could find another broadcast partner to replace C5,” Herbison wrote in the email that was published by <a href="https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Telegraph</a>.</p><p>“These discussions are ongoing however there is no new broadcaster at the moment and production must end, effectively resting the show."</p><p>“We are so proud of the show, you all and everything that you’ve achieved. But for now, this chapter is closing and we want to work together to give <em>Neighbours</em> the amazing send-off it deserves.”</p><p><em>Image credits: Radio Times</em></p>

Couple claim Gordon Ramsay ruined their wedding

<p><span>A UK couple has claimed Gordon Ramsay turned their dream beach wedding into “a complete kitchen nightmare”.</span><br /><br /><span>The celebrity chef took over a private resort to film his TV show, a decision that Charlie Willis, 35, and his then-bride Laura, 29 were left deeply horrified over.</span><br /><br /><span>The couple told The Sun that they expected a luxurious private ceremony and gourmet meal that put them $2390 out of pocket at the exclusive Lusty Glaze Beach venue in Cornwall back in June.</span><br /><br /><span>However, what was meant to be a day filled with love and joy, was anything but with the pair saying Ramsay and his crew who filmed his new TV show, Future Food Stars, “gatecrashed” their special day.</span><br /><br /><span>Despite the cost of $90-a-head for their guests, Charlie and Laura said their wedding party had a “cheap and nasty” meal.</span></p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7842255/gordon-ramsay-3.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/4f85fe6d90b84ee1816e6ca13c8c5c1d" /><br /><br /><span>“The whole thing was a complete kitchen nightmare,” the groom told the UK paper. “We had both worked so hard to save for that day and we felt like extras on a game show,” Willis said.</span><br /><br /><span>Ramsay’s executive producer, Sharon Powers, apologised to the newlyweds and paid for their ruined wedding.</span><br /><br /><span>“I am mortified that we affected your special day and I can assure you that it was never our intention to upset you or your guests,” Powers’ letter said, according to The Sun.</span><br /><br /><span>“As you are aware, we have now paid for your wedding in full, which I hope goes some way towards making amends and acknowledging how sorry I am that your special day was affected, albeit unintentionally, by us.”</span><br /><br /><span>A spokesman for the Lusty Glaze private beach acknowledged the “very unusual” circumstances but told The Sun that the wedding party had not secured exclusive use of the beach.</span><br /><br /><span>Ramsay’s spokesperson insisted to the Daily Mail that “there was no gate crashing”.</span><br /><br /><span>“Studio Ramsay [was] booked to film on the beach the same day as various weddings and events were taking place,” the spokesperson said.</span><br /><br /><span>“It’s a real shame this couple are still complaining. Their bill was generously covered, they happily chatted with Gordon on the day, they didn’t have exclusive use of the beach and all the other beachgoers had a really great time joining in on &amp; off camera.”</span></p>

“There’s no compromise”: Gordon Ramsay talks about his new 5th son and his love of family

<div class="post_body_wrapper"> <div class="post_body"> <div class="body_text "> <p>Gordon Ramsay is known for his angry and uncompromising nature, but his TV persona is a very different man to the one his family know and love.
