Super Chef Gordon Ramsay's Meat 'n Two Veg with Mistress

CELEBRITY chef Gordon Ramsay had a 75-minute tryst with his blonde mistress three days ago at a London hotel.

Just hours earlier he had sent lover Sarah Symonds to London’s Soho to buy the sex drug amyl nitrate.

The liaison was the latest in an affair spanning seven years which flies in the face of his carefully constructed family man image.

The 42-year-old chef has become a multi-millionaire promoting “Brand Ramsay” as a loving husband and father of four. During the time he has been sleeping with Symonds, he has made numerous claims about his fidelity to his devoted wife of 12 years Tana, 33. He has described her as “the only woman who can turn me on . . . Tana is my wife, my lover and the person I want in my bed and in my arms every night.”

In 2006 Ramsay was voted Celebrity Father Of The Year and in 2007 the Ramsays were named Celebrity Family Of The Year. Fans are used to seeing his children, aged from five to nine, appearing on his TV shows and in magazine interviews.

Ramsay’s latest assignation with Symonds came on Thursday, at the Marriott Hotel off London’s Grosvenor Square. One of his most popular restaurants, Maze, adjoins it.

She had caught the train to London from Newport, south Wales, and took a cab to the five-star hotel where she checked into £390-a-night Room 106 on the first floor.

At around 4.30pm, she left and travelled to Soho where she spent ten minutes browsing a sex shop called Simply Pleasure. She spent £10 on three small yellow bottles of amyl nitrate, branded Rave and Rush. Amyl nitrates—also known as “poppers”—are not illegal.

Users claim they heighten sexual pleasure by relaxing muscles and increasing heart rate.

The News of the World was told: “Sarah said Gordon had specifically asked her to go to Soho and get him some poppers for their romp. He likes the buzz.”

Ramsay’s fans will be aware he has always taken a fierce and public anti-drugs stance because his brother Ronnie is a heroin addict.

Symonds, 38, then visited a store opposite the sex shop and bought two bottles of white wine and some crisps before returning to the hotel.

Shortly before 8pm, Ramsay arrived at Maze and spent a few minutes chatting to staff before making his way through to the hotel and up to Symonds’ floor. He was wearing a trademark black leather jacket with red collar, dark T-shirt and jeans, and silver and black trainers.

He walked up and down the corridor before knocking on her door and going in at almost 8.15pm.
