chef Gordon Ramsay has opened up about his cancer diagnosis, telling fans that he has undergone surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma.
The 58-year-old star shared the news in a heartfelt Instagram post, uploading photos of his face — first with a bandage under his ear, and then without, showing a fresh scar. With his trademark wit, he joked that he hadn’t secretly had cosmetic work done. “I promise you it’s not a face lift! I’d need a refund,” he quipped.
Ramsay expressed gratitude to the specialists who treated him, writing: “Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this basal cell carcinoma. Thank you!” He also used the opportunity to warn fans: “Please don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend.”
