So, here’s a curveball for your weekend—Gordon Ramsay, yes, the fiery chef who can make a soufflé sing, has just dropped a rather serious PSA after his own skin took a bit of a heat check—literally. After going under the knife to remove basal cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer that’s no joke), Ramsay’s reminding us that even the toughest among us need to slap on that sunscreen. Now, I don’t know if Mercury is in retrograde, but maybe the stars are nudging us to rethink our sunbathing rituals, because one in five Americans faces this diagnosis before hitting 70! I mean, Ramsay’s bandaged jaw isn’t exactly the new look he was shopping for—“It’s not a face lift,” he joked—but it’s a stark reminder that the sun’s spotlight is not always a good thing. So while the cosmos might be whispering about transformation, let’s transform our sunscreen habits instead, shall we? Don’t be like the chef who got blasted by the sun and had to call in the pros. Ready to get the full scoop? LEARN MORE.
Gordon Ramsay has issued a health warning after undergoing surgery to remove skin cancer.
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer before the age of 70, with 9,500 people in the US receiving the diagnosis each day.
Melanoma is the deadliest form of the cancer, though there are other forms of the disease that are a cause for concern.
Celebrity chef Ramsay took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal that he had surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.
The Brit shared a photo of his bandaged face on social media, which was applied to the side of his jaw underneath his ear.
A second photo revealed what was under the bandage: several stitches in place after the surgery.
Ramsay wrote: “Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this Basal Cell Carcinoma thank you!
“Please don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend. I promise you it’s not a face lift! I’d need a refund.”

Cancer Research UK took to the comments section of Ramsay’s post and penned: “Glad to hear you’re doing well, Gordon, and thanks for raising awareness of how important it is to stay safe in the sun.
“Seek shade, cover up, and apply sunscreen regularly and generously.”
Basal cell carcinoma usually ‘appears as a slightly transparent bump on the skin’, according to Mayo Clinic. It typically appears on areas of the skin that are exposed to sun, including the neck and head.
The cancer typically appears as a change in the skin, like a growth or a sore that won’t heal.
Last year, Ramsay revealed he had been involved in a horrific biking accident in Connecticut that left him covered in bruises.
“You know how much I love cycling and triathlons and Ironman (races) etc and this week, unfortunately, I had a really bad accident and it really shook me and honestly I’m lucky to be here,” Ramsay said.

“Those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses in the hospitals looked after me this week, they were amazing but honestly, you’ve got to wear helmets.”
Ramsay added: “I don’t care how short the journey is. I don’t care… these helmets cost money, but they’re crucial, even with a kid’s short journey, they’ve got to wear a helmet now.
“I’m lucky to be standing here. I’m in pain. It’s been a brutal week. And I’m sort of getting through it.”
