‘He’s about to go on Deadliest Catch!’ Gordon Ramsay’s lookalike son Oscar, 13 months, looks adorable in mini-fisherman get-up as proud dad plays with him during lockdown
Gordon Ramsay posted an adorable video of his baby son Oscar on Wednesday as he teetered around in what resembled a mini-fisherman’s outfit.
The 13-month-old son of the TV chef, 53, was filmed as he waddled around in bright red dungarees, trying to get into the cage of the family’s pet dog Truffles – who lay inside asleep.
Gordon remarked that the tot looked like he was about to go onto the fishing show Dedliest Catch, as he followed him around trying to get him to put his wellies on.

It comes after reports that some of the workers made redundant by Ramsay amid the coronavirus crisis are being paid via the furlough scheme that is estimated to cost the government around £80 billion of taxpayers’ money.
An email seen by the Sun On Sunday from Gordon Ramsay Restaurants’ HR Director Sarah Anderson to a London-based worker read: ‘Should you not wish to apply for a new role, you will remain on the furlough scheme for the duration of your notice.’
A source told The Sun: ‘The furlough scheme is called the job retention scheme – but that is not what he seems to be using it for. They are sacking people anyway.’

The same source went on to claim senior members of staff in Ramsay’s restaurants were being offered lower-paid jobs, including telling a supervisor to become a bartender.
Ramsay, who is thought to be worth close to £200million, has restaurants across London, including in Mayfair and The Strand.
Alec Shelbrooke said there were questions over whether Mr Ramsay had exploited taxpayers, adding: ‘It will have to be carefully looked at whether the scheme was used to increase the profits of the company.’
The lockdown led Ramsay to lay off 500 employees in March, with no guarantee their jobs would be safe in the future.

Chefs, waiters and other staff were called to a meeting and told their contracts were being terminated – rather than being furloughed on 80 per cent pay.
It triggered a wave of anger, including from chef Anca Torpuc who at the time branded the celebrity chef a ‘piece of ‘s***’ for his decision.

The coastguard reportedly issued the father-of-five with an official warning after he was seen in Rock, Fowey, Port Isaac and Newquay – some distance from his lavish home.
