Gordon Ramsay: 'I Nearly Died Filming TV Show'

Fiery TV chef Gordon Ramsay cheated death double after falling off a cliff and then intimately drowning in freezing cold water.


The foul-mouthed foodie was filming Channel 4's The F Word off Iceland when he slipped clambering downhearted a 280ft drop.


"I thought I was a goner," he tells British newspaper The Sun. "They say cats have club lives. I've had 12 already and I don't know how many more I'll have.


"They say cats have club lives. I've had 12 already and I don�t know how many more I'll have.


"I remember cerebration, 'Oh f***'. My boots and my waterproofs were dragging me down.


"I'm an extremely good swimmer, but I couldn't get to the surface. I was panicking and my lungs were filling with water.


"When I got to the top afterwards getting my boots cancelled I was dazed and my capitulum was all numb."


Father of four Gordon was pulled out by the TV crew after they threw him a rope to grab declare of -- but was too frightened to secernate his wife Tana.


"I didn't tell her at first," Gordon aforesaid. "I chickened out but she knew something was up. She was disorder and super p***** off. When I was underwater all I could think of was Tana and my kids. It wasn't until I was on the aeroplane home I realized what a come together call I'd had."


He was treated in his hotel for a nasty cut to his leg and later had a checkup at London's Cromwell Hospital.
