He spent a great deal of the run-up to Christmas preparing his epic live cookalong for the big day.
So perhaps Gordon Ramsay didn’t have quite enough time to ensure that Tana and the children were as spoiled as usual this festive season.

It looked like the 45-year-old was treating his brood to some sales shopping as they hit The Grove in Los Angeles en masse yesterday.
The celebrity chef, who spent Christmas morning sharing his secrets for the perfect feast live on television, must have been in need of some relaxing family time at last.
Gordon joined his wife Tana and their four children Megan Jane, Jack Scott, Holly Anna and Matilda Elizabeth for the outing.

Gordon generously got his wallet out to treat the kids to some extra treats, but also made sure to pay some extra attention to Tana.
He held hands with his wife in a gesture of solidarity which must have been appreciated after a stressful few months.
It’s been a tense time for the Ramsays, with Gordon finally winning his bitter court battle against his father in law Chris Hutchenson last week.

A judge ruled family members hacked his and wife Tana’s personal emails and company computers – and ordered them to pay £250,000 towards his costs.
Ramsay, 44, sacked Hutcheson as chief executive of his restaurant empire last October, also claiming that his father-in-law took £1.42million from the company to give to his family and mistress.
The chef’s original 42-page writ said that the 63-year-old had read many of his personal messages, and Mr Justice Briggs reportedly said there was ‘no real prospect of… successfully defending the claims for breaches of confidence’.
He said the trio should pay Ramsay £250,000 by March 20. Separately, the Hutchesons are bringing claims they were unfairly dismissed.
Hutcheson and his son-in-law were so close at one time they played squash and ran marathons together.
When Ramsay was accused in 2008 of cheating on Tana, 36, with a long-term mistress, Sarah Symonds, he was able to count on his father-in-law’s support.
