As a father of five, some may think that the celebrity chef should be a delivery room professional at this point, but Ramsay revealed that his son Oscar’s birth was the first he was present for!
According to Ramsay, “Tana didn’t want to see me there for previous births, she said ‘I don’t want you to see me in this state so get out.’ "
This time around, Ramsay was in the delivery room, but despite his attempts to keep calm, he ended up fainting! “This time around, I was there and I absolutely s— my pants. I fainted. I literally dropped on the floor,” he revealed onTheJonathan Ross Show. “I was sat there and Oscar popped out through the sunroof and then they sort of throw you on him and he’s screaming and I fell back, the nurse grabbed me.”

“The only people allowed to touch him were his mom and me, unless you were wearing gloves. We did this amazing thing they call ‘skin-to-skin’ - it was just the best feeling I ever had. It’s just what it sounds like. My little boy was laying across my neck and chest feeling my heartbeat and feeling my love, and I played him country music and I sang to him and I made him promises … in that moment … you know, about … just about what kind of dad I wanted to be, and I just prayed that he’d be here long enough and he was going to let me keep him.”

He’d go to a bar.’ I’m going to go to a bar,” he continued. “I’m thinking, well, I got to take a picture of this, so I lift up my phone, I see ‘Missed call: Olivia.’ It started to ring again … so I answer the phone and I’m like, ‘Hon, what’s going on?’ And she goes, ‘It’s happening, get back here, it’s happening.’ … Then I’m out the door and I’m running like the scene in aTom Cruisemovie, just hauling butt … Within 20 minutes, three pushes, there’s little Otis. We pop on the Pandora as the family, the three of us, are sitting there. The first song that comes on: Cat Stevens, ‘Father and Son.’ Like right out of a movie. It was incredible.”
