Gordon Ramsay sold his Ferrari to save himself from his own kitchen nightmare. The TV chef revealed how his business was threatened with ruin as debts to the taxman soared past £7m. Ramsay’s accountant reportedly wanted him to give up control of his firm so they could sell off parts of the business, but the fiery chef refused.

Ramsay said, “It was the b*****king ever. They told me I was f*****. It’s been an absolute s*** fight. We were told to go into administration. Tana [his wife] and I discussed selling our house.” The dad-of-four explained they kept afloat by spending £5m of their own cash. In an effort to raise money Gordon even sold his sports car. “God I loved that Ferrari,” he told the Sunday Times, “We have got rid of our losses. We’ve got strong trading. Stop now? No way. The best is yet to come.”
