Gordon Ramsay accidentally let slip that he was expecting another child

Gordon Ramsay revealed he had become a father for the sixth time this weekend after wife Tana gave birth to a baby boy.

The couple managed to keep the pregnancy under wraps for the last nine months before sharing the news with the world on Saturday (11 November).

Gordon, 57, excitedly announced their new bundle of joy Jesse James had completed the 'Ramsay brigade' in a surprise Instagram post.

He said his son was the most 'amazing birthday present' before joking that as he and Tana, 49, now had three boys and three girls, their baby making days were officially 'done'.

The pair are already parents to Megan, 25, twins Holly and Jack, 23, Tilly, 22, and Oscar, aged just four.

Although the news of Tana having expecting was only revealed to fans when the tot had arrived, it seems Gordon may have let the news slip earlier this year.

During an appearance on Heart Radio, he started discussing his family life with hosts Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden.

The celebrity chef confirmed how many children he had with Tana before apparently dropping a huge hint she was pregnant.

He said: "Last time I looked there were five, there could be one more on the way. Seriously."

Both Amanda and Jamie were taken aback by his admission, before Gordon quickly added: "Tana’s jeans aren’t fitting her."

The Britain's Got Talent judge pressed him on the topic, saying: "Is it Christmas or is it a baby?"

The dad-of-six then seemed to realise he might have put his foot in it and appeared to try and backtrack on his statement.

Gordon continued: "Do you know what, I don’t know yet. I’ll double-check when I get back.

"I’m going to Boots on the way back from here and I’ll double-check," he joked.

Jamie picked up on the fact he may have 'inadvertently revealed something he wasn't meant to say' during the chat live on-air.

Gordon then seemed to throw the presenters off the scent by insisting that Tana was just keen to have another child.

He said: "I’m like, 'No, no, no', It’s already hard enough when I take Oscar to school! 'Hey, what's your grandad's name?'."

The Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare's star was 53-years-old when his son Oscar was born.

But he's got plenty more years of doing the school run to go following the arrival of little Jesse.

The interview was filmed back in January this year, so it seems he may have accidentally spilled the beans on his and Tana's plans to bring a sixth Ramsay into the world.
