MasterChef Australia guest Gordon Ramsay reveals sacrifices he’s made

When MasterChef contestant Chloe Carroll broke down on Monday night’s episode over missing her son’s first day of school, Gordon Ramsay could relate.

The 51-year-old revealed that he too had made sacrifices to get to achieve great success, and that it ‘killed him’ to do so.

‘Chloe, everybody needs to sacrifice to get to the top. That’s life. This competition’s a phenomenon,’ he told the weeping cook. 

A chef’s regrets? The 51-year-old revealed that he too had made sacrifices to get to the top, and that it ‘killed him’ to do so

He went on: ‘The rewards at the top are extraordinary. I can give you 25 examples of what I’ve missed with my four kids over the last 10 years. And it kills me.’ 

The Hell’s Kitchen star concluded that the rewards are worth the struggle. 

‘But you get to a certain level of success in life, and there’s a price to pay for that. So park that and continue on that journey,’ Gordon concluded.   

The chef has four children with wife Tana, Megan, 20, 18-year-old twins Jack and Holly, and Matilda, 16.
