‘We’ve got some of the most gorgeous beaches in the country here. It’s so nice to see the kids, kites, dogs, mums and dads, kids in and out the rock pools. It’s beautiful.

And over the weekend the celebrity chef posted a heartfelt message on Instagram in honour of his daughter’s  special day.

He said: ‘Happy Birthday to this gorgeous lady, 22yrs ago today this gracious kind and incredibly talented young girl was born, have a great day Megan love ya Dad.’

The TV personality angered locals after relocating his family to their second home during the outbreak as the Government urged Britons not to travel from hotspots to the countryside. 

Meanwhile, Gordon has taken out loans to shore up his restaurant empire which has been shuttered by the coronavirus lockdown, it was revealed last week.

He has registered charges with Barclays against 16 companies, which includes those managing some of his Michelin star outlets, according to the Sun. 

The loans will provide a lifeline to companies which manage some of the TV chef’s flagship eateries, such as London’s Savoy Grill and Petrus.
