It seems like we’ve heard from everyone else but the man himself – but not directly. I won’t claim to have any new insight into the situation, just merely collecting all of the little bits of information that are floating around.

It seems the first statements from Gordon, reportedly came during a cooking demonstration and tells us that he still has his trademark sense of humour. Numerous sources have reported (although media were allegedly banned from the event) that during the show Gordon joked a number of times about the situation. Among these lines were;
“What a week I’ve had. My Mum is in here tonight so I’m on my best behaviour, ooh la la. Oh f%$k it. I didn’t do it Mum, I love you.”
“I have been up close and personal with Mrs Smith – Delia. I got in there…. She gave me a book about how to cheat – but I didn’t think anything of it at the time…. I wanted to show her my spotted dick recipe.”
“I have had a mattress arriving this week, everyone thought it was because I had to sleep in the basement. “Mattress, mistress, mattress, what a load of bull$@#*.”

But my personal favourite is “If things go wrong and something slips out like ‘Oh f%$k me’, I don’t mean it literally. It’s because it’s gone wrong,” he joked.

Numerous other stories about apologies, admissions and holiday cancellations have all been from un-named friends (we all need friends like that!!) and haven’t to date been verified.

In the latest exchange, in response to Sarah Symonds exclusive (cha-ching) to the News of the World, the UK Mirror reported that at a cooking show in Birmingham, he said “Come on, if I was really going to cheat it wouldn’t be with a complete slapper.”

In the same, story, the Mirror also reported on the latest weeks episode of Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live (which isn’t on youtube yet!) – Gordon also joked that “Can I start by saying, yes it is true, it is official – I have been shagging Delia.”

He added later: “I was watching TV last night and tuned into a new show on Channel 4 called Gordon Ramsay’s Bedroom Nightmares. “And then I switched it over to E4 – and it was Shag Along With Ramsay.”

It seems the only response has been humour – read into that what you may!

Regarding GQ magazine and their ‘Man of the Year” awards, although Gordon did make the list, along with the likes of Barack Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Phelps, he didn’t win one of the coveted titles – this one was ‘Prick’ of the Year!!

Now you can buy a cookbook containing some of Gordon Ramsay’s Recipes and help cure cancer – all for just a fiver (English pounds that is)!

Gordon Ramsay is one of the contributors for a new cook book called Around the World in 60 dishes. The book has been organised by a Private Health Insurance Company –Bupa- and profits will go split between several UK institutions; Cancer Research UK, The Royal Marsden Hospital in London and Sutton as well as Christie Hospital in Manchester .

The book is available from the Bupa Store and contains recipe several other well known chefs, including Simon Rimmer, Tim Lovejoy, Delia Smith, Andrew Nutter, Paul Heathcote, Brian Turner and Michael Caines – http://shop.bupa.co.uk/around_the_world_in_sixty_dishes-p11958.html

They will post the book anywhere on the planet – I’m sure with the current exchange rate, it will cost about a thousand bucks Aussie, but hey – it is for a good cause.

Wow, what a time to start a Gordon Ramsay fan club! I spent all weekend getting most of the features up and running (there’s still more to come) and wake up Monday morning (Sydney time) to the controversy).

I think, at this stage, I’ll refrain from posting any rumours until some concrete claims are made! (Which may be never!). I’ll try to keep a positive spin on things, although I doubt there will be much else in the news for the next few weeks.

We can only hope that it all gets sorted out!
