Gordon Ramsay may be the ringleader in the kitchen, but when it comes to his daughters, he’s a big bowl of pudding.

The Michelin Star chef paid a visit to “The Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier this week.

And he did not hold back when commenting on his daughter’s recent reconciliation with her ex-boyfriend.

To begin, Kelly Clarksonplayed a clip of a TikToker impersonating Gordon, and what he would be like when his daughter’s bring over “eligible” suitors.

Ramsay liked it so much, he actually reposted the video to his social media accounts.

The father-of-five agrees the actor, Jack Chalmers, is “100% accurate.”

But then dad mode kicked in, and Ramsay explained why he's has to be so critical and harsh of bachelors trying to date his daughters.

“Listen, I just want the girls to be looked after and them look after each other. So, you’re always anxious about that,” the celebrity chef explained.

Turns out his oldest daughter, Megan Ramsay, (23), recently reunited with an ex-boyfriend and dad is less than thrilled.

Gordon Just Wants His Girls To Be Looked After

“I did something really bad last week. Megan started seeing her ex-boyfriend again and his name’s Byron,” he said unenthused. “He was OK to begin with, a little bit wet, a little bit sort of… you want a man to date your daughter and he’s just a little bit pathetic.”

Kelly absolutely lost her marbles laughing.

Through hysterics, Kelly screams, “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. Byron is peeing his pants somewhere.”

Without missing a beat, Gordon tells Kelly, “I’m going to kill that little [expletive.]”

He continued, “I kid you not, I found out his telephone number from our youngest daughter, Tilly. She said, ‘Dad, don’t do this.’ I said, ‘No, just give me the number. If anything’s wrong I need his number on my phone.’ So, I waited to find out when they were having dinner together and I FaceTimed him.”

Kelly quickly inquired, “Did your daughter kill you?”

Megan Ramsay Was NOT Thrilled With Her Dad's Prank

Ramsay explained he picked up the FaceTime call and his hand was shaking, so that in turn made the phone camera shake.

“I said, ‘Byron it’s me. Not your future father-in-law you little [expletive],” he proudly explained.

His daughter, Megan, cut the call short and ended the FaceTime, which Ramsay found “so rude.”

“I was in the middle of having a proper chat,” the overprotective father joked.

Ramsay said he feels 22 is too young and wished his daughter would “wait a little bit longer,” which Kelly agreed with and suggested to start dating at 30.

His latest food competition show, “Next Level Chef,” debuted earlier this week.

This competition features three tiers of kitchens stacked on top of each other. The teams who appear on the top tier get the best, state-of-the-art equipment, while the teams on the very bottom have shabby, manual equipment. For example, those in the lowest-tier kitchen are only given a whisk to work with, while those in the top kitchen are given an electric mixer and all the latest tools to create delectable dishes.

If that wasn’t a hard enough challenge, Ramsay also has a “platform,” as he called it, of food that chefs can choose to cook with. The chefs on the top tier of the kitchen have first dibs on the best ingredients. Then, the chefs on the middle-tier are given their pickings of whatever those on the top-level didn’t want. For chefs on the lowest tier of the tower, they are only given the meager scraps left behind by the other two teams to work with.

It’s been met with rave reviews; however, some are saying his show is a rip-off of a Netflix show called “The Platform.”

The premise of the “platform” is actually not new at all. It’s actually a plot of a horror film literally called “The Platform” that hit Netflix in 2019. The film first premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and won the People’s Choice Award for Midnight Madness.
