Los Angeles - Gordon Ramsay was stung by a jellyfish on his penis.
The 49-year-old chef - who has children Megan, 17, 16-year-old twins Holly and Jack, and Matilda, 14, with wife Tana - revealed the incident occurred on a family holiday to Sardinia and left him with a scar.
According to the Daily Star, he said: "Fucking hell it hurt. I couldn't even wee on it. It left a real mark down there."
Meanwhile, Gordon recently revealed he has been banned from school parents' evenings.
Gordon missed one meeting to discuss his offspring's progress, and then at the next one, he breached protocol and was asked to leave, before receiving an email asking him never to return.
He admitted: ''I failed at turning up for parents evening at my kids' school.
"And then when I went to the next one with my youngest, Tilly, I asked the headmaster for a selfie, after which I got kicked out, and so I really fucked that one up!
"The following day I received an email saying, 'Can you please refrain from the next parents evening - we do not need the presence of Mr. Ramsay.'"
