Gordon The four-mouthed TV chef, 41, nearly came a cropper as he clambered down an 85 metre ( 280ft) drop while filming his new The F Word series off Iceland. Ramsay, who was hunting puffins in Iceland’s Westman Islands, landed in a creek but was weighed down by his heavy boots and could not get to the surface.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I thought I was a goner. "They say cats have nine lives. I’ve had 12 already and I don’t know how many more I’ll have. "I remember thinking, ‘Oh f***. My boots and my waterproofs were dragging me down. "I’m an extremely good swimmer, but I couldn’t get to the surface. I was panicking and my lungs were filling with water.
"When I got to the top after getting my boots off I was dazed and my head was totally numb." Ramsay’s TV crew, who became concerned after he failed to surface for 45 seconds, threw him a rope and towed him to safety. The father of four was treated at his hotel for a cut on his leg and later had a check-up at London’s Cromwell Hospital.
Gordon also had to face his furious wife Tana, 33. He admitted: "I didn’t tell her at first. "I chickened out but she knew something was up. She was upset and extremely pissed off. When I was underwater all I could think of was Tana and my kids. It wasn’t until I was on the plane home I realised what a close call I’d had." Source
