Gordon Ramsay: I don’t want to die of a heart attack

Celeb chef plans to scuba dive instead of cook

He may only be 40, but Gordon Ramsay has revealed he intends to quit the kitchen in 10 years' time.

‘I don’t want to die of a heart attack on the stove,’ the celeb chef quips. ‘I don’t want to be pushing meals out at 60.

‘Being a chef is a young man’s game. I’m getting out. I’ll have my empire, but I’ll get my life back.

Gordon already dreams of the perfect lifestyle.

‘When I’m 50 I’m going to buy a restaurant in some amazing part of the world like Sardinia, and I’m going to do exactly the opposite of what I do now,’ he tells Live.

‘I’ll keep my restaurant closed 6 days a week and open it just once, on a Sunday. I’ll spend all my time with Tana and the kids. I’ll dive, I’ll snorkel, I’ll do what I want to do.

‘Then on a Sunday, I’ll go into the kitchen and work my b******s off. That will be enough to feed my addiction.’
