‘We’re healing’ Gordon Ramsey’s wife has suffered a miscarriage

Mere weeks after announcing they were expecting their fifth child together, TV chef Gordon Ramsey and his wife of 20 years, Tana, have been dealt a devastating blow.

Taking to Facebook this afternoon, 49-year-old Gordon thanked fans for their support in light of the pregnancy announcement before explaining that Tana had suffered a miscarriage over the weekend.

"Tana and I want to thank you so much for your support over the past couple of weeks," he wrote. "We had a devastating weekend as Tana has sadly miscarried our son at five months."

In the post which has been liked thousands of times since its upload in the last hour, Gordon continued: "We're together healing as a family, but we want to thank everyone again for all your amazing support and well wishes."

Taking a moment to pay tribute to the medical team who assisted his wife during this devastating time, Gordon finished by writing: "I’d especially like to send a big thank you to the amazing team at Portland Hospital for everything they’ve done."

Gordon's Facebook followers wasted no time offering words of support, with one writing: " I am so very sorry. We have lost a son at 36 weeks and there is no pain like it."

"Also thanks for speaking about it. This is one of those topics that makes people uncomfortable and nobody discusses much," she added.

Our thoughts are with Gordon, Tana and their four children today.
