On Sunday (October 22), sports presenter Jake Humphrey welcomed the world’s most famous chef onto his High-Performance podcast.

During the hour-long episode, Ramsey talked about his incredible success and how that affected his private life.

Ramsay had his personal net income estimated to be US$63 million by Forbes in 2019, but it wasn’t always the case.

The 56-year-old revealed one of the biggest life lessons he learnt was from his father-in-law when he asked to borrow £20,000 to put down a deposit on his and his wife Tana’s first home.

He recalled: “We were young, we were stupid and we were skint. I remember going to ask her father if I could borrow £20,000 for the deposit for a flat that we fell in love with.

“And I thought this was all going well, lunch was good, I’ll pay for lunch and I said, ‘Oh about that deposit, Tana and I, we’ve got half of it but we need the other twenty grand. I’ll pay you back in a year.’ “He said, ‘Okay, here’s what I’ll do. I’ll have another lunch with you when you sell your Porsche’.”

The dad-of-five went on: “I thought, ‘You f***er but you clever f***er’. Here I am driving around in a flash f***ing nine eleven and we didn’t even have a f***ing house, we didn’t have a flat, we didn’t have a roof over our heads.

“It was the best advice he ever gave me, sell your f***ing Porsche. I did sell it and ten years later I went and bought it back, the same f***ing car.”

The “best advice” was torn apart in the comments section as users mocked Ramsey for the “least relatable story ever”.

“Stunning and brave”

One user said: “An absolute mirror of my story. So pleased there’s a pod that millions of us can relate to”.

Another commented: “Obviously taken a short clip from a long conversation so not taking too much from it… But imagine having a Porsche and then the cheek to ask your father in law for £20k”.

A particularly sarcastic response then followed: “Thank you Gordon, thank you Jake I have been wondering how I can save to afford a house but now I realise that I must sell my Porsche. This is the high performance mindset that you only get from this podcast”.

And another said: “Extremely moving and relatable Humphrey. Thanks for sharing. Stunning and brave.”
