Multimillionaire Gordon Ramsay tells own children to 'f**k off and get a job'

Gordon Ramsay has brought some pretty excellent things into the world - the idiot sandwich gif should be named the eighth wonder of the world - but let's just say most people won't be taking parenting advice from him any time soon.

The celebrity chef, whose net worth is estimated at £145million, is already well known for not letting his kids leach off him - but many will feel he's gone too far over comments he made about helping them find work.

Because Gordon has expressly forbidden his four eldest children - Matilda, 17, Jack and Holly, 19, and Megan, 21 - from asking him for a job.

Speaking on US radio, Gordon admitted: "I'm firm, I'm fair and I will give you everything I've got to get you to the very top.

"And that's it, no bulls**t. I take a lot of flak for being straight and honest, but I'm not worried about that f***ing snowflake generation."

He added: "It's like not employing the kids. I don't want the staff thinking, ‘F**k it's Ramsay's kid, we can't tell them off. You want to work in this business? You f**k off to another chef, learn something different and come back with something new to improve the business."

The Hell's Kitchen TV star and his wife Tana Ramsay, 44, are currently expecting their fifth baby - but Gordon stands firm on the matter of spoiling his kids.

He came under fire two years back when he confessed he and Tana always treat themselves to first-class flights, but make their kids sit in coach.

"I have got to keep it real with the kids, and also I think just getting kids at the age of five, six and seven, used to first class and those big seats, they do not need the space, they get entertainment on their iPads," he told the Mirror at the time.

“So I like to think about what you can do with the money when you land, rather than paying out thousands of dollars for eight, nine ten-year-olds to sit in first class.

"I do not want them sat there with a 10 course f**king menu with champagne."

He's previously insisted that his brood won't get left anything to inherit in his will because he and Tana want them to make their own way in the world.

"It's definitely not going to them, and that's not in a mean way; it's to not spoil them," he told the Telegraph.

"The only thing I've agreed with Tana is that they get a 25 per cent deposit on a flat, but not the whole flat."

Gordon added: "I've never been really turned on about the money. That's not my number one objective and that's reflected in the way the kids are brought up."
