Gordon Ramsay says he feels sorry for his ‘mini-me,’ gears up for ‘MasterChef US’ Season 7

Days before the newest season of "MasterChef US" hits the small screen, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay snagged the headlines when a photo of his lookalike swirled all over the Internet.

Claire Dempster, a mother who hails from Cardiff, Wales in UK, posted a photo of her baby on her Twitter account. She teased that baby Arlo-Blue is Ramsay’s son, and Twitter users couldn’t agree more. She wrote, “@GordonRamsay this is our baba - have you been in Wales for any reason around 10 months ago.”

Dempster’s tweet immediately spread over the Internet like fire, receiving close to 4,700 likes. It also came to the attention of the 49-year-old “MasterChef US” host, judge and executive producer. He played along like a good sport, answering also on his personal Twitter account, “Yes about 11 months ago.”

He then posted a series of tweets about the baby, commenting, “I feel sorry for the baby !!!!” The award-winning British chef, who is known for his hot temper and tendency not to mince words, also wrote, “Poor kid.” Dempster replied, “@GordonRamsay he’ll grow out [of] it. [A]ll good fun.

In real life, Ramsay is married to Cayetana Elizabeth Hutcheson, a school teacher, since 1996. They have five children, including Matilda, who has become a celebrity in her own right and as bagged a cooking show.

Apart from joking about his mini doppelganger, Ramsay is busy promoting the latest season of “MasterChef US.” In a sneak peek that he uploaded on his Facebook page, he says that the show is going big on Season 7. “We’ve increased the intensity,” he opens. “The level of talent is extraordinary. This year more than ever, they’re more tenacious, they’re much better, they scrutinize the programs, and they know he challenges ahead of them.”

Ramsay will be judging a new set of home cooks alongside Christine Tosi, who was introduced in the reality show in the previous season. Graham Elliot left “MasterChef US” after six seasons, following Joe Bastianich’s departure. In the video, Tosi says that the third judge this season is going to be a rotation of their chef friends.

“MasterChef US” Season 7 premieres on Fox on June 1.
