Gordon Ramsey has admitted that it wasn’t Simon Cowell after all who persuaded him to go ahead with facial filler injections – it was his children.

Previously, Chef Ramsey has always stated that it was his good friend music mogul Simon Cowell who persuaded him to do something about the deep wrinkles that lined his face. However Ramsey has now admitted that teasing from his children was the real motivating factor.

“I’ve got four children, and they’ve become ‘Dad, why have you got so many wrinkles on your face when Clementine’s daddy has no wrinkles?'”, Ramsey explained to newspaper the Daily Mail.

“The lines were pretty horrific, like Scarface, and I was never embarrassed by it but my children helped me become more paranoid about it.” According to Ramsey, he even woke up one morning to find his daughter trying to squeeze pound coins into some of his wrinkles.

“You’ve seen the articles,” he continued. “Craggy face, map of Wales, ugly, deflated rugby ball. There’s only so much s*** you want to take. I woke up in the morning and Matilda was trying to squeeze pound coins in there.’

“In LA it was all “Oh my god, when did you go through the windscreen?” You put up with it, but then you get f***ing sick of it. I listened to what Simon Cowell said, and he said, ‘Get it done, it’ll make you look more…

“It took four minutes each side, lasered not Botoxed. No one noticed until I mentioned it. When you don’t say anything you’re classified as a liar, so you can’t win. It’s got me more s*** in the past six months…”

However Ramsey is not a cosmetic surgery convert and will not be going under the knife any time in the near future.

“Am I going to have any more work done? Of course I’m not going to have any more f***ing work done,” Ramsey commented.

“The amazing guy who did it said to me, “Let’s get one thing right. I am not, under any circumstances, ever going to touch that forehead.”.”
