GORDON Ramsay has revealed he has had skin cancer removed from his face.
The celebrity chef, 58, took to Instagram this morning to tell fans he had basal cell carcinoma – the most common type of the disease.
Sharing a picture of stitches underneath his ear, he 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……."
The Mayo Clinic says basal cell carcinoma most often develops on areas of skin exposed to the sun, which includes the face.
The outdoorsy dad-of-six is often seen riding his bike and enjoys competing in endurance events.
Fans were relieved to hear Gordon is doing well.
One person commented: "We're thankful you're okay Chef Ramsay!"
Another said: "Oh man…hope you get better soon."
A third wrote: "Glad you're okay!"
Overnight, we revealed Gordon is poised for a huge TV return.
TV hit Hell's Kitchen could be back next year — and Gordon might also be opening restaurants here with the show's name, just like in the States.
Insiders say he is expected to return to our screens as the cookery contest's sweary head chef.
His American version of the show, launched after he hosted the first UK series, has been hugely popular for 20 years and he has a successful chain bearing the brand in the US.
Gordon has now also trademarked the Hell's Kitchen name in the UK so it can be used in restaurants which could open immediately after the show reboots on ITV.
A TV insider told The Sun: "Fans of the show will be doubly thrilled by the prospect of the competition coming back and being able to dine at a Hell's Kitchen restaurant over here.
"Business-savvy Gordon has watched as the popularity of Hell's Kitchen in the US has helped bring in thousands of customers to his restaurants.
"The programme is broadcast in more than 100 countries around the world, so between tourists visiting Britain and developing a whole new audience for the telly contest in the UK, it's an incredibly smart move on his part."
