Ramsay: 'My affair with Delia Smith'

Gordon Ramsay has made light of infidelity allegations by naming Delia Smith as his 'secret mistress'.

The TV chef's joke, made during a performance at the BBC Good Food Show, came after author Sarah Symonds alleged that they had been embroiled in a seven-year affair. Ramsay, 42, has since blasted the claims as a "load of bull", insisting that his marriage is fine.

According to the Daily Mail, Ramsay told the audience at Birmingham yesterday that he would be more picky if he were to be unfaithful.

"Come on though, if I was really going to cheat it wouldn't be with a complete slapper," adding: "It's true, I confess, I have been f**king Delia for the past ten years and Mark Sergeant is our love child."

Symonds has since claimed that Ramsay, who has been married to Tana for 12 years, has had affairs with two other women.
