Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has reportedly secured a second Netflix documentary series, set to air as he approaches his 60th birthday in November. This new six-part project follows the immense success of his initial show, 'Being Gordon Ramsay,' which Netflix describes as its biggest non-scripted series ever.
Netflix Jumps at the Opportunity
Sources close to the production reveal that Netflix eagerly approved the follow-up when the concept of chronicling Ramsay's milestone 60th year was proposed. The appetite for more content featuring the fiery chef was described as 'absolutely huge,' prompting the streaming giant to greenlight the series without hesitation.
Adele's Potential Special Appearance
The documentary will once again shadow Ramsay's hectic schedule, but this time with a particularly glamorous twist. There are strong indications that global superstar Adele might make a special appearance at his birthday celebrations.
Gordon's wife, Tana Ramsay, is said to be a massive fan of the singer and is reportedly hoping Adele will perform at the November festivities. 'Obviously the hope is Adele will be singing at the party—Gordon's wife Tana is a huge fan—and that would be quite the coup,' a source told The Sun.
Ramsay's Expanding Family Dynamics
The series is expected to delve into Ramsay's personal life, including his family relationships. Recently, Ramsay has developed a notably close bond with his new son-in-law, Adam Peaty, the Olympic swimmer who married Ramsay's daughter Holly in December.
Ramsay revealed on Gaby Roslin's 'Reasons To Be Joyful' podcast that Adam now affectionately calls him 'dad.' He shared, 'He calls me dad. He messaged me and said "Hey dad, what have you got? Hey dad, are you around later?" And it's just like, "Oh my God". Incredible.'
This familial connection stands in stark contrast to reports of a dramatic fallout between Adam Peaty and his own parents, who were reportedly banned from his wedding to Holly. Ramsay publicly expressed his support for Adam, stating he feels he has gained a son rather than lost a daughter.
Birthday Plans and Professional Ventures
Gordon Ramsay is not slowing down as he nears 60; in fact, insiders note he has 'loads of things in the pipeline' and is exploring significant new opportunities. The documentary will capture these professional endeavors alongside personal moments.
Regarding his birthday, Ramsay mentioned plans for a joint celebration with his wife, Tana, reflecting on past occasions. 'I don't think we celebrated Tana's 40th properly so we'd like to do a joint party,' he said. He also acknowledged Adele's busy schedule but praised her as 'an incredibly gracious, talented woman, and a real foodie.'
The previous Netflix series featured highlights such as Holly and Adam's engagement and the opening of 22 Bishopgate. The new installment promises to deliver similar behind-the-scenes access, potentially including celebrity friends and the highly anticipated 60th birthday 'knees-up.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for both Gordon Ramsay and Netflix for official comments on the series commission and details.
