Gordon Ramsay has reportedly upset a Cornwall local once again after they accused the star of running through a red light on his bike and almost causing a collision.
The celebrity chef, who is isolating with his family in his holiday home in the county, has refuted the claims, explaining the accident “didn’t happen”.
After the London marathon was axed due to covid-19, the father-of-five went for a 26.2mile bike ride on Sunday.
Prior to his afternoon cycle, Gordon posed for a picture with his baby son Oscar on Instagram.

Hours later, an upset Cornish local snapped a picture of the star wearing the same red cycling gear, and was posted onto Facebook claiming that he’d ridden through a red light.
Underneath the photo, the resident explained an oncoming driver had to “slam on his brakes” to prevent a crash.
They wrote: “I was delivering some shopping to my daughter and this t**t decides to go through a red light at Trewornan Bridge.

“Very nearly could have been a nasty accident as a car was coming the other way who had to slam on his brakes!”
“I didn’t realise it was him at first, he was travelling with another man and a lady. The other man also went through the red light, but the lady stopped at the red light.”
Gordon’s rep informed The Sun Online the incident “didn’t happen” and the allegations are “untrue”.
The restaurant owner caused upset in the Cornish community when he decided to uproot his family, including wife Tana, 21-year-old Meghan, 20-year-old twins Holly and Jack, 17-year-old Tilly, and Oscar, to their second home on the coast for the duration of the pandemic.
However, he admitted his time has been at home has been a “living nightmare”.
Speaking to Capital FM’s Roman Kemp, Gordon, who is reported to have a net worth of £113 million, complained: “Being stuck in my house with these five ravenous kids is a living nightmare.
“Will you please tell me when all of this will end? Every single day is the same. I’m the resident kitchen porter, working my fingers to the bone.
“I have honestly cooked more food in the past ten days than I have in the past ten years of my career.”
