Gordon Ramsay has revealed an unusual way he copes with missing his son Jack after the 18-year-old left home for university. The celebrity chef admitted to wearing his son's underwear during an appearance on James Corden's Late, Late Show.
“I went to Jack's bedroom last weekend and I opened the door; his socks and pants are there. Five minutes later, I am wearing them. He is the same size,” Gordon said. “All mine were in the bloody wash… so I put them on and just sat on the bed thinking, 'Damn bud I miss you'… seriously.”
Gordon previously admitted to being a “mess” after his twins Jack and Holly left home in September. Jack is studying in Exeter, while Holly moved into university halls in London. Their eldest daughter Megan, 20, is studying in Oxford, leaving only youngest daughter Tilly, 16, at home.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, Gordon described dropping Jack off at his halls: “We put him in his little room, left him some fettucine and pasta for him to cook, student food. Left him there and I got in the car and I was a mess. My best mate has just left me.” He added that he will “cry” when Tilly eventually leaves home.
Gordon has a close bond with all his children, often calling Jack his best friend. Jack has reciprocated the sentiment, previously calling his dad his “best mate” on Instagram.
