Gordon Ramsay's Cancer Scare: Chef Reveals He Underwent Surgery to Remove Basal Cell Carcinoma

Gordon Ramsay revealed he had a cancer scare as of late.

On Saturday, August 30, the chef, 58, shared the news via Instagram that his surgeons extracted basal cell carcinoma, a "type of skin cancer that most often develops on areas of skin exposed to the sun, such as the face," the Mayo Clinic says.

Ramsay posted images of his bandaged face online.

"Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this Basal Cell Carcinoma thank you ! Please don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend ❤️I promise you it’s not a face lift! I’d need a refund…….😜," he captioned the photos.

Of course, shortly after, many fans shared their well-wishes with the foodie.

One person wrote, "Well done you for getting a skin check ! Something we should all be lining up for 👏👏👏👏," while another said, "So important to share things like this, slap on a hat, suncream and seek shade, happy healing, well done to the amazing people who work in healthcare who do amazing work like this ❤️🙌."

A third person added, "We’re thankful you’re okay Chef Ramsay!"

Ramsay's made headlines for his health issues before. In June 2024, he announced he had a "really bad accident" while biking in Connecticut that left him banged up.

“I’m doing ok and did not break any bones or suffer any major injuries, but I am a bit bruised up looking like a purple potato," Ramsay explained in the caption.

"It really shook me," Ramsay said of the incident. "Honestly, I'm lucky to be here. Now, from those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses and the hospital that looked after me this week, they were amazing. But, honestly, you've got to wear a helmet. I don't care how short the journey is. I don't care the fact that these helmets cost money. But they're crucial. Even with the kids, a short journey, you've got to wear a helmet."

"Now, I'm lucky to be standing here. I'm in pain," the Kitchen Nightmares star concluded. "It's been a brutal week. And I'm sort of getting through it. But, I cannot tell you the importance of wearing a helmet."
