Gordon Ramsay blames Botox treatments on Simon Cowell

Gordon Ramsay has admitted to having Botox on his face after a ribbing by pal Simon Cowell.

Gordon, 42, has distinctive lines across his face that he was born with, which he admitted a make-up artist had earlier remarked on.

He said: “It’s Simon’s fault. He leaned over and prodded my chin saying: ‘Mate, you’ve got to do something.’

“I was like: ‘F*** off!’ I’ve always looked like Freddy Krueger [the serial killer from A Nightmare On Elm Street], but more people were commenting, so I did it – Botox. And no one has f****** noticed.”

The fiery chef has had a tough year after his business empire hit problems and he was accused of having an affair, which he denied.

Ramsay admitted that he had “screwed up”, and said, “I’m fighting back.”
