The British celebrity restaurateur said he got the skin cancer removed, sharing a picture showing a line of stitches from his earlobe to his neck.
British celebrity chef and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay shared Saturday on Instagram that he was diagnosed with skin cancer, which he said he got removed.
The fiery 58-year-old TV personality shared a picture of a bandage over part of his face and neck, and another showing a line of stitches from his earlobe to the top of his neck.
always look for ABCDE of any moles. it works for non-melanoma cancers too, but with the leisons because they dont come from moles. any suspicious bleeding, or flaking lesion, or suddenly growing should be checked asap.
Don’t need sunscreen if you don’t “touch grass” /j
I forget which one of Ramsey’s shows it was, but the one with ABC kitchen in phoenix. When he found out that the owners took all the servers tips he took a server out back, gave her like $20 and was like “that is for you. Do not let them know.” And prior to this I thought he was some megalomaniac asshole. His tough guy asshole thing was just an act for the camera. He actually seems to be a nice guy.

Kitchen Nightmares (US)
His tough guy asshole thing was just an act for the camera.
Watch the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares some time. He’s far less angry. US audiences love drama, so he’s significantly more dramatic and angry in the US version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtq7fRDqxN4
& is real nice with kids right?
Or wear layers, if you have the endurance for it a leather jacket can prevent you from getting burnt if not cooked. This coming from a Southern Californian of primarily Scottish and Irish descent, my kin have been here for 150 years.
A light, ventilated UV-block shirt is probably better in that case.
Probably, but I have a leather jacket from the 1970s I don’t have a UV block shirt.
Wear sunscreen, You fuckin donkey!
especially for white people, most susceptible to sun damage.
I still don’t understand how the British don’t have a massive fatality rate as I see lots of them as lobsters in Greek summer.
Due to our healthy lifestyles, the heart disease gets us first.
Ah, I see. That’s clever. No, wait… 😉
All I can think of is his main career… that is him shitting on other human beings and making a career out of it… a kitchen is hell… mostly because of him.
He basically is known for making a kitchen a space of abuse…
But he was nice to kids… Then he was horrible to adults. So it’s all excused…
Now he has cancer… what should I think beyond a horrible pos person is nearing the end of their life?
The shit talking is just for show. They’re all acting.
a kitchen is hell… mostly because of him.
As someone who used to work in kitchens before his show was a thing, there’s always been abusive assholes there.
Right and he capitalized on that. Real cool dude…
It’s American television. You want to see less hamming it up for the reality TV audiences, check out the original docuseries Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, as opposed to his US shows.
Cool. It’s American…
Yes, it’s American, so it’s fake and loud and amped up to a billion. It’s not nice to watch. Ramsay has actually apologised and reflected on his part in shaping kitchen culture negatively through those shows.
Totally gives him a pass… good for you
IDK if he asked for a pass. Ever done something you regret? Could go public about its regrettability w/o expecting much in the way of kudos.
Generally I’d argue we wanna seriously encourage recognizing apologies b/c on average maybe folks don’t apologize or see their faults and especially trying to right wrongs is excellent compared to the alternative (snobby pigheaded “I did nothing wrong, they’re just being jerks / they don’t know what they’re talking about” attitudes)
Good for me? What do you mean? I don’t watch him. I’m not a big Ramsay fan.
Pretty sure it is a display of what most kitchens are: a high pressure environment where everything must work right. In particular in higher tier establishments.
My skin was fucking RAW!
U sure? I thought it was baked.
“And this epithelial tissue, is it squamous?”
“No chef, basal.”
“Fuck me.”
I’m dying. So fucking funny.
I think it’s worth noting, these were basal cells, the “good” kind of skin cancer.
Great reminder. I’ve had skin cancer a couple of times and I’m far from what you’d call the outdoorsy type. Caught early, it’s a very manageable condition. Keep an eye on your moles and if any start changing quickly, schedule a dermatology exam. I get annual checkups.
I need to do this. But I’m in america without insurance so I guess I’ll just wait to die.
I can only think of “2 million sunblock” from Terminator 2.
I think Sunscreen may cause cancer indirectly, because it makes some people think they can stay out in the sun almost indefinitely.
Problem is although they may get less damage per hour, they get more accumulated damage because they stay out much longer without clothing.Get a little sun without sunscreen to make some sweet vitamin D, then wear clothing or seek shadow as the way superior protection to sunscreen.
If you absolutely must be in the sun half naked all day, then by all means, wear some sunscreen. Just don’t think sunscreen really protect as much as advertised against the long term effects of too much sun. Because obviously it doesn’t.
well I was about to engage with you, but now you’ve deleted everything!
All that and he still couldn’t gracefully take the L…
In the 70’s skin cancer was rare
Was skin cancer rare? Or were skin cancer diagnoses rare? I worry that you may be presenting the same flawed arguments that we see used to promote claims of an “autism epidemic”.
Aussie paper for the interested.
This is why the 80’s were full of slip slop slap
RFK Jr logic.
No I didn’t say not to use sunscreen, relax for Christ sake.
I’m just speculating that sunscreen is not protecting against cancer quite as much as people may believe.
How is that such an offensive statement? I’m not saying it doesn’t protect. Only that it possible camouflages damage because it helps avoid sunburn, which may cause people to stay in the sun too long.Why is that so offensive that everybody wants to attack me? I may be wrong, and if that’s the case then fair enough…
Is it possible that we get less natural UV protection from the atmosphere now? I’m just making a wild guess but we’ve had so many environmental changes and climate change has made summers so much more severe.
Yeah, that was one of the things with the cfcs causing damage to the ozone layer. I would also say a lot more pollution (including microplastics) just generally everywhere, clothing showing off more skin, and that smoking isnt causing other things first.
The ozone layer is generally back in place because that was like the last time an industry agreed to cease its harmful climate change inducing behaviors.
It isn’t actually. It stopped getting worse and is very slowly recovering. The hole is still mostly there and many parts of the ozone layer are still thinner.
They agreed because cheaper, better options became available.
Good point, and absolutely that’s a possibility, but AFAIK it was worst in the 80 or early 90’s, with huge holes in the ozone layer at the poles.
This improved when certain gasses that are harmful to the ozone layer became regulated globally. But it may have slowly deteriorated again, I’m not quite sure of the current state.
But at least now weather reports include warnings against days with particularly high UV numbers.
But still it is my clear impression that sunscreen makes some people stay out in the sun before they have a tan to protect against it, and instead use sunscreen to stay in the sun longer.
But tanning-beds could also be part of the reason.Of course this may not not be the case for “normal” use, but with excessive use tanning beds are harmful, and you may not be as protected by sunscreen as some people think.
Perhaps, its still worth bringing up here that you’re supposed to reapply as needed.
Well technically if that is the reason, that would actually confirm my theory that people get skin cancer more now than in the 70’s because they think sunscreen protects more than it does.
What changed?
I bet on “we learned to diagnose skin cancer”.
This is absolutely a large part of it.
That’s a very naive comment. We could diagnose it just fine in the 70’s here in Denmark. And even treat it so it basically never was terminal.
Advanced terminal skin cancer is very obvious, but if we couldn’t diagnose and treat before that, there would have been way more that died of skin cancer back then instead of fewer.Denmark
😆🫵

Shut your armchair misinformation ass up.
In the 70s Denmark didn’t have dermoscopy, digital mole mapping, or modern melanoma drugs… Early cases were often missed and late cases were basically untreatable, so pretending diagnosis and treatment were ‘just fine’ back then is pure revisionist nonsense.
Already had you tagged as ‘fuckstick.’ looks like it wasn’t a one-off.
How polite you are, why the aggression?
Early cases were often missed and late cases were basically untreatable
OK but can we at least agree that terminal skin cancer is pretty easy to detect, and if so, how do you explain that terminal skin cancer was nearly unheard of in the 70’s.
I just don’t think sunscreen protects quite as well against cancer as it does against sunburn, although obviously avoiding sunburn is beneficial, but apparently terminal skin cancer cases have been going way up AFTER we began to use sunscreen, at the very least as far as I can tell, they haven’t declined.
Already had you tagged as ‘fuckstick.’ looks like it wasn’t a one-off.
Maybe I should tag you as an asshat?
It’s always the sign of the bad faith arguer to throw decorum and impropriety at their opponent whenever they refuse to tolerate absolute clear and objective bullshit.
You don’t get to play a victim here. You are spreading misinformation and you know it. Or you don’t and that just makes you a willing dupe.
So no, I think his response was well withing the polite decorum afforded a peddler of dogshit. An idiot trying to take everyone else down with them.
The time for tolerating bullshit alternative science peddlers is over.
You can go fuck a duck. I’m exhausted by people like you over the years. You want to feel special, like you know something more than everyone else and this somehow gives you permission to challenge established data and science with you “opinions”.
Fuck all the way off. The time for a concerted public backlash against people like you is at hand. I’m so fucking tired of idiots feeling like they deserve equal time with experts.
Hey im stealing this as a blanket copy pasta for the next one of yhe idiots i come across, thanks
This is how everyone needs to learn to start handling these shitheads.
Why the aggression?
Because you’re spreading healthcare misinformation that could literally get someone killed.
Here’s where I block you because I don’t want to be in a community with people that remind me of RFK Jr.
No I’m not, where is the risk of getting killed when I CLEARLY warn against getting sunburn, which is the main cause for skin cancer!!
