Gordon Ramsay has been slammed once again amid the coronavirus pandemic as he fronted a Stay Home campaign.
The chef, who is known for his foul mouth as much as his cooking, has to turned to his latest isolation venture which is being the frontman of a YouTube campaign to encourage people to stay home.
The 53-year-old dad has been met with wide criticism and has been dubbed a “hypocrite” following the video after he moved himself and his family into their second home at the beginning of lockdown.
Furious locals who live near Gordon’s £4million holiday home in Cornwall argued that he and his family could be bringing the virus to the village when they arrived.
The move, which started from his home in London to the vacation home in Cornwall, was forbidden by the government to not travel between homes.

But now it appears the TV chef is strictly abiding by the rules and is encouraging others to do so.
In the video posted on YouTube, Gordon encourages people to stay home and cook with him.
The caption of the video read: “Stay home and cook with Gordon Ramsay. There’s so much we can do together, even whilst we’re apart. #WithMe.”
Gordon kicked the video off by saying: “Hi, I’m Gordon Ramsay. Now in order to stop this dreadful virus, we need to stay at home.

“What do we do? Let’s cook along together. I’ve got loads of exciting recipes on my YouTube channel.
“Have fun and thank you.”
But viewers soon kicked off and complained that he “isn’t the right celeb” for the job.
One commented: “Just a quick reminder that appearing on the outube ‘stay at home #WithMe’ campaign while actually being at your holiday home in Cornwall, putting locals at risk and disobeying government advice, makes you a massive f*****g hypocrite.”

Another wrote: “Not the best person to highlight this. He literally ignored lockdown and moved his family to Cornwall and isn’t paying his staff….”
Someone mocked: “Which home?”
Following lockdown, locals in the West Country have pleaded for there to be action taken against those who fled to their holiday homes, with fears that they could bring the virus from big cities to small villages.
