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!

A Current Affair showed how trashy their reporting really is in the latest Gordon Ramsay Video Clip – you couldn’t even call it journalism. Gordon Ramsay insults a weather person for getting the weather wrong – and A Current Affair try to take the high ground saying that he insults women – give me a break – this is an ambulance chasing, two bit television show that no one considers real journalism – just sensationalist garbage.

Why was no one defending Suzanne Boyle when Gordon Ramsay sledged her?

Why was no one answering Gordon Ramsay’s claim that he didn’t call her a lesbian?

No mention of one of the other clips from the Good Food and Wine Festival where Gordon Ramsay says he is love with Tracey Grimshaw and has been for years – (that comment doesn’t fit with the other cheery-picked one demonising Gordon and pitting him against Tracey Grimshaw!)

And that stupid woman from Channel Seven’s Today Tonight chasing Gordon Ramsay looking for a controversial quote – “What are you going to call me?” – paparatzi gone mad! They stoop even lower by digging up the alledged mistress and asking her what she thinks – she thinks she wants to be in front of the camera again (and now it turns out she is launching a business and website)!

Here’s the video clip – vintage A Current Affair – with Tracey at the helm

And the dreadful Today Tonight clip

People say that they are embarassed for Tracey, I’m embarrassed for Gordon Ramsay that the Australian media now seems more like British tabloids!

Here are the interviews (or links to them when clips are not available) for all of the Gordon Ramsay interviews since he arrived in Australia five days ago. Gordon arrived on Thursday for the Good Food and Wine Festival in Melbourne and has a host of other engagements as well as a holiday with his wife Tana planned over the next month – culminating in his appearance and Sydney’s Good Food and Wine Festival. His interviews have caused some controversy – but not as much as his comments during his live cooking demonstrations!

In this surprisingly frank interview, Gordon Ramsay talks about his personal and private short-comings.  He gives some insight about hwo tough the last twelve months have been and appears to be allowing indirect questions about how he has been affected by some of the controversy. Gordon Ramsay also answers tough questions – such as has his celebrity gotten in the way of his business, claims of arrogance and being stretched too thin.

Gordon Ramsay also talks about his upcoming ‘Maze’ restaurant in Melbourne, on the back of his extremely successful South African launch and speaks about how he has released spies throughout Sydney and Melbourne to research what is  currenlty working terms of food and wine locally.

Gordon talks about the frank discussion he had with his wife Tana Ramsay, about continuously putting money into the business and how he had to consolidate in order to save the business (other reports said that he had sold one of his cars – reminisent of a Kitchen Nightmares Episode!). He says that he uses his success on his television shows to fund his business (he mentioned earning a $250,000 an hour when talking about Hell’s Kitchen) and in short it was a great interview.

He also had a quite crack at the host, as has now become part of his normal routine! He also says the he hasn’t changed in his flirtatious ways despite the past twelve months!
