Gordon Ramsay marked his 60th birthday by posting a shirtless image on Instagram, prompting fans to brand it a "thirst trap" as they praised his physique.
The Hell's Kitchen star pulled down his lycra workout gear to display his chiselled abs in a black and white photo, days after enjoying a meal out with his daughter Tilly, 25, who shares the same birthday.
Fans React to Birthday Post
Ramsay captioned the image: "Thank you everyone for the incredible birthday messages! Day 2 of being 60."
The post attracted 701,000 likes and a flood of comments. One fan wrote: "Chef looking leaner and cleaner than a medium rare wellington. Let's go!" Another said: "Looking good chef!" while a third added: "Better shape than me and I'm in my 30s."
Others expressed surprise at the post. One commenter wrote: "This was not on my 2026 bingo card," while another said: "Crazy to post a thirst trap as the first birthday post." A third added: "Why is Gordon Ramsay body checking on my for you page."
Fitness and Diet Regime
The celebrity chef overhauled his lifestyle after fearing his weight was spiralling out of control, spurred on by his wife, Tana, and a desire to keep up with his busy family.
Ramsay regularly competes in Ironman events, triathlons, and long-distance cycling races. He fits in intense daily training sessions between his television schedule, relying on swimming, road cycling, and running to stay lean.
He has also spoken about following a "grazing" method with his diet, eating up to five small, portion-controlled bowls throughout the day, focusing on lean proteins, green juices, and complex carbohydrates.
Upcoming Projects
Ramsay has several projects coming up, which may make balancing his fitness regime with his career more challenging.
He recently confirmed that Hell's Kitchen is returning to the UK, telling The One Show: "I can categorically confirm it's true!"
