Gordon Ramsay makes classic Bangers & Mash
After living out his professional and personal life in the media for the last two and half decades, it looks like Gordon Ramsay is about to share a whole lot more. The television chef has reportedly signed a multi-million pound deal with Netflix to star in his own documentary about his life.
Gordon is all set to open his new restaurant in Bishopsgate, East London and cameras are set to follow his every move, as well as picking up on his other professional endeavours and his family life. A source told The Sun: "Gordon isn’t exactly a shy and retiring type so this will be a no-holds-barred, warts ’n’ all series.
"You can expect more than the odd swear word, but essentially cameras will trail him in and out of the kitchen ahead of his latest restaurant launch early next year. His wife, Tana, and the kids are expected to make cameos. People will get to see a whole new side to Gordon."
The source continued: "In the wake of the success of huge chef-based shows like Disney’s The Bear and the BBC’s Boiling Point, Netflix realise there’s a real appetite for high stakes, high drama kitchen content right now."
Gordon would follow in the footsteps of fellow stars, David Beckham, Robbie Williams and Tyson Fury, who have all had documentaries air on Netflix about their lives. Robbie's self-titled documentary aired on the platform last year and was an immediate hit with viewers.

It detailed the highs and lows of his career from multi-million-selling albums and flirtations with then-Spice Girl Geri Horner, to dark days enduring death threats and depression.
Feeling overjoyed by the response, the singer took to Instagram in November to pen a note of gratitude to everyone who watched it.
He wrote: "So I woke up here in New Zealand yesterday to 25 texts, a similar amount in WhatsApp and a long list of emails.
"Some from people I haven’t spoken to for many many years. All reaching out to congratulate me on the documentary.

"After replying to many of them I just burst out crying. A good cry," he confessed.
"As with tears, my first response was to stop them. And then I told myself, 'Nah, f*** it. Go on, have a big blub'. So I did. I blubbed."
The star added that he couldn't quite explain the reason for his tears, but that there were many, with the predominant feeling being "relief".
"I have felt despised. To my core, I was an embarrassment. I have felt worthless no matter what I achieved. And today I don’t," he exclaimed triumphantly.
