Gordon Ramsay falls off cliff (delighting millions?)

Angry British TV chef Gordon Ramsay fell off of a cliff in Iceland (a dream come true for many) while filming his show, “The F Word.” But Gordon’s okay for you fans out there.

Gordon best known in the United States as the host of FOX’s Hell’s Kitchen, told The UK Sun that he fell from a 28-foot cliff and landed in icy cold water. He said:

“I remember thinking, ‘Oh f**k’. 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 after getting my boots off I was dazed and my head was totally numb.”

Gordon’s crew (reluctantly??) pulled him up with a rope, and miraculously he only had a cut on his leg.  Perhaps karma is not on Gordon’s side right now though.  While on the same trip in Iceland Gordon was also hunting cute little puffins for his show. One of the puffins though bit his nose which required three stitches. Gordon defended his decision to hunt them, “We had a license to cull 1,000. I didn’t realize how difficult they are to cook, but they’re very tasty!”

Tasty but perhaps vengeful!
