Gordon Ramsay has shocked his many fans on social media this week by revealing the true size of his own feet.
According to The Daily Star, the acclaimed TV chef opened up about his gigantic shoe size in a recent virtual appearance on the British talk show This Morning.
Speaking to hosts Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby via video feed, Ramsay (a former footballer before venturing into the world of haute cuisine and hospitality) stated that he had whoppingly-huge size 15 feet.
Per The Star, Ramsay was discussing the pressure of presenting his latest television series, and stated on-camera:
"When we get to question nine, 10, or 11 then I am like a nervous wreck. That level of passion is evident, and when they are that close when you can't think of that final answer…
"Then they have to put a penalty on the board and I know that board is going to tip.
"I've got size 15 feet so I'm walking around this beautiful Bank Balance set on tiptoes trying not to sneeze, breathe or even just shudder in the event that the board comes crashing down."
For our American readers, a UK size 15 is a US size 16.
In the aftermath of the interview, a number of Ramsay's fans took to social media to express their shock over his alleged shoe size, with many making some rather lewd suggestions about Gordon too.
For example, one Twitter user wrote: "@GordonRamsay SIZE 15......??? You know what they say about people with big feet. BIG socks. [sic]"
Meanwhile, someone else tweeted him: "Large feet, huge.....socks hey @GordonRamsay, my husband has size 14 feet! Only downside is finding decent slippers!!! Any suggestions?! [sic]"
Another person wrote simply: "still shocked at the fact that @GordonRamsay has size 15 feet."
Another Twitter user commented: "Is it just me or does @GordonRamsay have massive feet??? Photo really doesn't do them justice!! [sic]"
Someone else added: "Soooo @GordonRamsay just did an interview on @thismorning and the only piece of information I got from it was HES A SIZE 15 FEET?!"
"Whaaaaaaat I need to see some visual evidence of these Sasquatch tootsies pronto. [sic]"
Another person wrote: "Gordon Ramsay with size 15 feet! How tall is he? Proper right angle of a geezer. Size 15 dogs!! Jesus [sic]"
Finally, someone else posted an animated gif of Kristen Bell winking and captioned it: "My reaction at finding out Gordon Ramsay’s shoe size - Size 15!!! [sic]
