Gordon and Tana with Victoria and David Beckham

Gordon Ramsay is famous for being a hotheaded perfectionist with a penchant for profanity and an enormous blind spot for other people's feelings.

He’s all those things in his new Netflix series, but viewers will also see an unexpected softer side to the fiery chef.

Born into poverty, Gordon opens up about the steely ambition that spurred him on to build a £180 million empire. He also talks about his father’s alcoholism, his brother’s drug addictions and how Tana, his wife of almost 30 years, found him irritating and arrogant when they first met.

Over six episodes, Being Gordon Ramsay covers the culinary legend’s tough childhood, his friendship with David Beckham and the run-up to his daughter Holly’s tumultuous wedding to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.

Gordon also discusses his marriage to Tana, and reveals that when they first met, she was actually dating one of his friends.
