Jamie Oliver gives update on long-running feud with Gordon Ramsay weeks after brutal jibe

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver says his and Gordon Ramsay’s “little berating decade” of rows has come to an end.

The pair’s feud ignited back in 2009, after Jamie took issue with Gordon’s nasty comparison between Australian journalist Tracy Grimshaw and a pig.

Addressing his fellow chef’s words at the time, Jamie, 50, said: “Aussies aren’t forgiving. Once you’re gone, you’re gone.

“It’s never good to criticise a woman, especially when they’re loved by their country and you do it on national television.”

Gordon, 58, later apologised to Tracy and those who were also offended by his words.

After Jamie shared his thoughts on the situation, Gordon hit back, labelling Jamie as “just a cook” and a “one-pot wonder”.

In an update in an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, Jamie said: “Me and Gordon are absolutely friends, our little berating decade is behind us.

“He’s smashing life at the moment. He’s doing things that no chef’s ever done. We’re on good terms and long may it continue.”

Interestingly, this display of camaraderie comes just weeks after Jamie took a swipe at Gordon.

In a video shared on TikTok, Jamie was asked if his feud with the Hell’s Kitchen star was real, to which he responded: “It’s not really a feud. He’s just a psychopath.”

In previous times, Jamie has further addressed criticism from Gordon.

According to The Sun, he said: “I was doing TV years before him, so maybe five years ago it would have bothered me and I may have responded.

“But he’s got four kids and I’ve got five kids, and I don’t want to be slagging off some kids’ dad on telly. It’s not nice.”

This comment struck a nerve, especially since Gordon’s wife Tana had suffered a miscarriage with their fifth child, Rocky, in 2016.

In an interview with Radio Times Magazine a year later, Gordon reflected: “Jamie turned round and said [in a newspaper], ‘I’ve got five kids, he’s got four kids’.

“To judge someone else’s family on the amount of kids you have, that’s [not good].”

Gordon also shared how his wife Tana was deeply affected by the remarks, adding: “Boys will always fight and butt heads but Tana was mortified. I mean really mortified.”

Jamie later clarified his comments, stating that his words were intended to be “fairly grown-up and reasonable”, and not offensive.

He told Radio Times, “I don’t want personal spats in public with someone that, to be honest, I don’t even really know any more… I don’t think he liked me taking the high ground,”.

“I think that’s basically it. So, I’m going to take the high ground now and say I wish him all the best, and all success. Good luck to him. But we have both got kids, and I don’t know what sort of example we’re setting if we’re arguing like we’re in the playground.”
