Gordon Ramsay shows off his spacious garden and its stunning seaside views amid backlash

He’s been spending lockdown with his family at their second home by the Cornish coast, after relocating from their London abode.

And Gordon Ramsay showed his followers a glimpse of his lavish property’s spacious garden when he took to Instagram on Saturday.

The chef, 53, presented his ‘office’ in the garden which consisted of a white table and deck chairs that were placed on a patio facing the ocean.

Gordon’s garden had lush greenery, as neat hedgerows and towering trees could be seen in the backdrop of his video.

Turning the camera to show off the stunning views that greet him on a work day, he looked in awe at the crystal-blue ocean. 

While Gordon explained that the spot acts as a workspace, it was also a perfect place for the whole family to relax and soak up the sun before taking a dip in the ocean nearby or enjoying a seaside walk.

The TV personality has previously sparked criticism online for supposedly flouting lockdown rules. 

On Wednesday he shared a photo of him enjoying a bike ride along the Cornish coast before taking a walk by the seaside.    

Urging his followers to get out an exercise during the lockdown, he said over the video: ‘Wake up its a beautiful morning, wake up its a beautiful day, get your a** on the bike and move.

Several hours later, Gordon stepped out for a stroll by the sea so he could watch as the sun set, and said: ‘Oh boy what a gorgeous sunset, sunsets look stunning don’t they? that is beautiful.’

Gordon’s outing comes after the family were accused of flouting lockdown rules by travelling from London to their second home on the Cornish coast.

On Monday Gordon faced yet more outrage from Cornish locals by enjoying a beachside stroll with his entire family close to their home.

The fiery chef was accompanied by wife Tana, 45, and three of their five children – Jack, 20, Matilda, 18, and Oscar – during a brisk walk across the beach. 

It also came after the Hells Kitchen star landed in hot water with the local coastguard, who are said to have issued an official warning to him over his apparent flouting of lockdown guidelines.

Sources indicate that Gordon has been seen in Rock, Fowey, Port Isaac and Newquay – some distance from his £4 million home in Trebetherick.

The warning is particularly troubling because Ramsay is the face of a ‘Stayhome’ initiative on YouTube which he has been plugging on his ten-minute cookery shows, filmed in ‘isolation’ in his Cornwall kitchen.

A source at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, whose officers and volunteers carry out regular patrols of the beaches and coastal paths, said: ‘We have reports of him being seen in dozens of different places since lockdown started.

‘He does not seem to be obeying the rules regarding social distancing, exercise and staying at home.

his home, to Newquay, which is 23 miles away, and even at his third Cornish home in Fowey, which is 25 miles away and a 45-minute drive on a good day.

‘One of our staff spoke to him about the frequency with which he was being seen out and about, and the significant distances. After a period of reflection, he seemed to calm himself and took on board what was being conveyed in a most polite manner.’ 

Appearing from home in his ‘Stay at Home’ YouTube campaign on Wednesday, Ramsay urged fans to remain behind closed doors and try some of his recipes until current restrictions are lifted.

Keeping fit: Gordon was also forced to deny ‘almost causing an accident’ after a local resident accused him of jumping a red light while on a 26.2-mile bike ride 

‘Hi, I’m Gordon Ramsay. Now in order to stop this dreadful virus, we need to stay at home,’ he told viewers. 

‘What do we do? Let’s cook along together. I’ve got loads of exciting recipes on my YouTube channel. Have fun and thank you.’

The chef has been plagued by controversy from the moment he arrived in Cornwall, with the latest incident coming little more than a week ago. 

Controversy: The Hell’s Kitchen star has faced huge backlash from neighbours who claimed he’s ‘brought coronavirus to them’ during the lockdown

Ramsay was forced deny ‘almost causing an accident’ after a local resident accused him of jumping a red light while on a 26.2-mile bike ride. 

In a picture taken by the irate local and obtained by The Sun, he was seen wearing the same cycling gear he wore in a post shared with Instagram followers earlier that day. 

Whilst the UK stays in lockdown to slow the spread of COVID-19, the government advice is to ‘stay local and use open spaces near to your home where possible – do not travel unnecessarily’. 

While people with second homes are not allowed to travel back and forth, choosing one home and sitting out the lockdown in it is not against official advice.

A friend of the family told MailOnline: ‘The family see Cornwall as their family home when the kids are back from uni and Gordon back from filming around the world it’s where they spend all their family time together.

‘They’ve been spending time there for 10 years and Jack actually lives in the house there full time too. Most of their neighbours are so welcoming and they love being part of the community.

‘They’ve been following the government advice along with the rest of the country since they arrived on March 20th and the campaign against them is hurtful and unnecessary at a time when we should all be coming together and supporting each other.’
