Gordon Ramsay describes a bicycle accident that left him bleeding and blurred vision

After his serious bicycle accident, Gordon Ramsay is no longer able to care for himself.

The TV chef opened up about his condition after he was thrown from his bike in June. Ramsay explained his bike spun 180 degrees as he was thrown into the air by a pothole. The 57-year-old tried to fix his chain and carry on riding when he noticed his helmet had split in half.

Then Ramsay noticed blood and his vision blurred. “I honestly thought I was going to faint,” he recalled in an interview with Men's Health UK.

“I couldn't even put my damn socks and pants on,” Ramsay explained of his recovery. “Justin used to get me dressed in the morning. I felt like a damn 95-year-old man. Asking a 30-year-old boy to put on my damn underpants was embarrassing.”

“Hi guys, it's Gordon here and I want to give you all a very important message,” he said in a video message. “You know how much I love cycling and triathlon and the Isle of Man etc, but unfortunately this week I had a really bad accident.”

The MasterChef star was visibly shaking as he added: “Honestly, I'm lucky to be here. The incredible trauma surgeons, doctors and nurses at the hospital who have looked after me this week have been amazing, but honestly, you have to wear a helmet.”

At that time, he showed a huge bruise that covered almost half of his upper body.

After recovering from his injuries, Ramsay was fit again.

“I think about the pace I'm working at and the responsibilities I'm taking on and then I think about my drive; fitness is the foundation,” he explained to Men's Health UK. “You're on your own, up a mountain, on a bike, on a trail, running, swimming. I find training relaxing because it just takes me out of that fast lane.”

The celebrity chef has no plans to take a shorter path in his life any time soon.

“I could sit back, put my feet up, buy a boat and run off to the Caribbean, but I'm not interested in that,” he admitted. “I love playing Jeopardy… and I can do it because I'm fit. I can do it because I have the drive. When I don't have the drive anymore, I'll decide to hang up my hat.”

It wasn't easy for Ramsay to get to where he is today. The star of “Kitchen Nightmares” rose to fame in the 1990s through his appearances on the British show “Boiling Point.” He also opened his own restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, London. The hotspot has been awarded three Michelin stars since 2001.

““I started with nothing. My mum and dad didn't even own their own house, so you don't obsess over money and you don't get spoiled,” Ramsay said. “I love luxury. I love cars, but damn, I work hard for it.”

His attitude to life is also reflected in his role as a father.

Ramsay and his wife Tana have six children: Megan, Holly, Jack, Matilda, Oscar and Jesse. For his twins Holly and Jack's 18th birthday, Ramsay bought them marathon seats.

“While a lot of our friends are buying their kids cars and damn iPads, we've been buying our kids marathon places for their 18th birthdays,” he revealed. “You're running the marathon for Great Ormond Street. Here's your race number. Now get moving.”
