Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has shared his cancer diagnosis, urging fans to protect themselves from the sun. The 58-year-old revealed he had basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer, removed earlier this year.

Posting on Instagram, Ramsay thanked doctors for their quick work. “Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team,” he wrote. He added a lighthearted note: “I promise you it’s not a face lift! I’d need a refund.”

Fans and friends quickly offered support. One wrote, “Heal quickly Chef, and thank you for bringing awareness to all of us.” His daughter Holly simply added, “Love you dad.” Cancer Research also praised him for raising awareness, reminding people to “seek shade, cover up, and apply sunscreen.”

Basal cell carcinoma is often caused by sun exposure and is usually treatable when found early. Doctors recommend checking any unusual growths or sores that don’t heal.

Ramsay’s message is clear: take sun safety seriously. His honesty reminds us that early action can save lives.
