Ramsay burnt genital claim was lie

Gordon Ramsay's wife has revealed that the chef's claim last week that he burnt his testicles on a hob was a lie.

Tara Ramsay, speaking on ITV's This Morning, refuted press rumours that her husband had singed his genitals while cooking, insisting that he made the story up.

The F-word star's partner said: "I have to set the story straight here and I'm going to blush as I say it, as it's a very personal subject.

"As with all men you have to check regularly and he had a dull ache in one of his testicles and so he went to have it checked. You know Gordon, it's a red rag to a bull, he gets really excited at the story he can make up.

"We were at an awards that night and the moment we stepped out, he was questioned on it. You could see he was just brimming with excitement at the fact, "I know what I'm going to say, I burnt it".

When asked whether her husband was given the all clear by the doctors, she replied: "The dull ache is absolutely fine. All checked and all fine...It's old age."
