Hell’s Kitchen kingpin chef GORDON RAMSAY — whose food empire is more than $30 million in debt and just axed 1,000 staffers – had been banished to his own wine cellar by his wife, according to his ex-mistress.
Sarah Symonds, 40, poked fun at the celebrity chef, after it emerged he was having a $400,000 wine cellar installed in his London mansion, as part of a lavish extension.
"When I read about the wine cellar I laughed out loud as it was so poignant to me, since the first few times we met, Gordon told me he was being made to sleep in it as his wife, Tana, was PO-ed at him," Symonds told Radar.
The celebrity chef has fled Britain to Los Angeles after he sacked his wife’s dad as CEO of his business.
Symonds, who previously wrote Having An Affair? A Handbook For The Other Woman, first hinted how the world-famous TV chef was banished to the cellar, referring to herself a ‘friend of a friend’ in an attempt to protect their romance from scrutiny.
"He complained to my friend that things weren’t going well between him and his wife and that he was being made to sleep in the basement of his mansion, amidst the wine cellar," she wrote.
Speaking from London, Symonds said,"It looks like he will be back sleeping in it again soon, forced by his wife to do so, as he first lamented to me was the case nine years ago when I met him.
"Seems nothing much has changed."
