We got the news a few hours ago via a Gordon Ramsay tweet (@gordonramsay01) that his wife Tana,  was named Celebrity mother of the year by Tesco magazine. Gordon’s tweet read “http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/slideshow/ALeqM5hp3MUcV08n3At7sxoQj6Yb9_W_wQ?index=0 well done babe, very proud. and of the zoo x”.

Gordon, when are you going to learn how to shorten URL’s??

Normally most of the stories that pop-up on my Gordon Ramsay Google Alert is just useless gossip. This story may well be the same, bolstered by interested in Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana now that she is competing on ITv’s Dancing on Ice in the UK, but we thought this one was at least worth passing on.

It seems with the lower than expected ratings for the F Word, unnamed insiders are suggesting that Tana would be an appropriate co-host for Gordon. No word yet whther it will be a revamp of an existing show (F Word being the most obvious) or a brand new concept, but three different sites are running the sam estory word for word.

Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana (who is an accomplished TV chef and author in her own right) has been selected as one of the celebrities to appear on Britains Dancing on Ice. To make the event even more interesting, it seems that Gordon get his fifth child, if Tana can win the contest.

Gordon was quoted in one interview as having said “”Apparently I said I’d have a fifth baby if I got to the final. It must have been over Christmas when I’d had lots of mulled wine or something. Can you imagine?”

The show starts on Sunday January 10 on ITV1

I found it strange that Gordon Ramsay spoke to The News of The World (since they spend most of their time trashing him) and also that they said Gordon was the father of three in the intro and then listed the names of his four kids halfway through!

Highlight of the interview were the insight into Gordon Ramsay’s new cookbook from the latest season of the F Word, called Gordon Ramsay’s World Kitchen. Gordon said that the series and the book was all about “was getting really good ethnic food, fantastic Indian recipes, Chinese and Thai recipes, fantastic French food and putting these ideas together… Fantastic curries, fantastic Pad Thai, great Chinese food, simple French cooking and then the modern British aspect.”

You can also find out what is behind the Red Horns that wife Tana gave him for his birthday!

Also get Gordon’s thoughts on his kids learning to cook, his success overseas and his new series Masterchef – get the full interview here;

Gordon Ramsay was due to appear in Perth, Western Australia for two charity events on June 24 and 25, but the promters, Diablo events have recently announced their cancellation.

Their official statement reads as follows “Diablo Events has exercised its rights of termination under the Celebrity Appearance Agreement between Diablo Events, Gordon Ramsay Holdings and Gordon Ramsay. Consequently, Gordon Ramsay will no longer be appearing in Perth for Diablo Events for either the breakfast function on 24 June 2009 or the Black Tie Dinner on 25 June 2009.

We will be in contact regarding refunds in due course and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

No doubt the Ramsay bashers and trashy media will link this to the ridiculous spectale that was made of Gordon Ramsay’s jokes about Tracey Grimashaw (and not other celebrities who took it better and didn’t have the platform to launch their bitter and mis-informed responses). I’m not sure how these events normally work, but the story in other media related to slow ticket sales – not cancellations.

Possibly it is normal to sell many of the tickets at the last minute and that the bad press removed this option, either way the people of Perth and charities involved are the big losers.

As I type this, Gordon Ramsay is in Queensalnd, helping Sanctuary Cove celebrate their 21st birthday, where he will be joined with his wife Tana. Hopefully we here something positive coming out of this event.
