Gordon Ramsay has shared a sweet video of his son Oscar taking a fall during their beachside stroll on Monday.
The chef, 53, shared the sweet video of his youngest son, 13 months, losing his balance and falling in the shallow water during the walk close to their home in Cornwall.
Gordon’s outing with his family has sparked yet more backlash after the family were accused of flouting lockdown rules by travelling from London to their second home on the Cornish coast.
Oops! Gordon Ramsay has shared a sweet video of his son Oscar taking a fall during their beachside stroll on Monday
In the video, little Oscar was toddling along the coast in a sweet yellow rain jacket and green wellington boots in the sunshine.
As Gordon filmed his little boy he tried to get Oscar’s attention, causing him to jump and accidentally topple into the water.
While Gordon laughed at his son, Oscar didn’t seem impressed that he had gotten wet during the walk.
Captioning the video Gordon playfully wrote: ‘Those boots were made for walking…’

On Monday Gordon faced yet more outrage from Cornish locals by enjoying a beachside stroll with his entire family close to their home.
The fiery chef was accompanied by wife Tana, 45, and three of their five children – Jack, 20, Matilda, 18, and Oscar – during a brisk walk across the beach.
It also came after the Hells Kitchen star landed in hot water with the local coastguard, who are said to have issued an official warning to him over his apparent flouting of lockdown guidelines.
Whoops! Gordon tried to get Oscar’s attention by repeatedly calling him name, and seemed to catch the tot off-guard

Sources indicate that Gordon has been seen in Rock, Fowey, Port Isaac and Newquay – some distance from his £4 million home in Trebetherick.
The warning is particularly troubling because Ramsay is the face of a ‘Stayhome’ initiative on YouTube which he has been plugging on his ten-minute cookery shows, filmed in ‘isolation’ in his Cornwall kitchen.
A source at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, whose officers and volunteers carry out regular patrols of the beaches and coastal paths, said: ‘We have reports of him being seen in dozens of different places since lockdown started.
‘He does not seem to be obeying the rules regarding social distancing, exercise and staying at home.
‘We are aware of him having travelled to Port Isaac, which is eight miles away from his home, to Newquay, which is 23 miles away, and even at his third Cornish home in Fowey, which is 25 miles away and a 45-minute drive on a good day.
‘One of our staff spoke to him about the frequency with which he was being seen out and about, and the significant distances. After a period of reflection, he seemed to calm himself and took on board what was being conveyed in a most polite manner.’
Here we go again: Gordon also caused outrage after fronting a new Stay at Home advert, despite ferrying his entire family from London to their lavish second home in Cornwall
Appearing from home in his ‘Stay at Home’ YouTube campaign on Wednesday, Ramsay urged fans to remain behind closed doors and try some of his recipes until current restrictions are lifted.
‘Hi, I’m Gordon Ramsay. Now in order to stop this dreadful virus, we need to stay at home,’ he told viewers.
‘What do we do? Let’s cook along together. I’ve got loads of exciting recipes on my YouTube channel. Have fun and thank you.’

However the video left some people unimpressed, with one raging: ‘Just a quick reminder that appearing on the youtube “stay at home #WithMe” campaign while actually being at your holiday home in Cornwall, putting locals at risk and disobeying government advice, makes you a massive f***ing hypocrite.’ [sic]
While a second fumed: ‘Not the best person to highlight this. He literally ignored lockdown and moved his family to Cornwall and isn’t paying his staff….’
A third added: ‘Stay home and cook no sorry sod off on holiday to Cornwall during a pandemic. He has lost my respect. I’d rather cook with Gino de campo.’ [sis]
Keeping fit: Gordon was also forced to deny ‘almost causing an accident’ after a local resident accused him of jumping a red light while on a 26.2-mile bike ride (pictured with Oscar)
The chef has been plagued by controversy from the moment he arrived in Cornwall, with the latest incident coming little more than a week ago.
Ramsay was forced deny ‘almost causing an accident’ after a local resident accused him of jumping a red light while on a 26.2-mile bike ride.
In a picture taken by the irate local and obtained by The Sun, he was seen wearing the same cycling gear he wore in a post shared with Instagram followers earlier that day.
Exercise: The star has completed two extensive cycles while staying in the area and celebrated completing his latest route with a post on social media
They said: ‘I was delivering some shopping to my daughter and this t**t decides to go through a red light at Trewornan Bridge.
‘Very nearly could have been a nasty accident as a car was coming the other way who had to slam on his brakes!’
‘I didn’t realise it was him at first he was travelling with another man and a lady. The other man also went through the red light, but the lady stopped at the red light.’
The star has completed two extensive cycles while staying in the area and celebrated completing his latest route with a post on social media.
He shared a snap of himself posing alongside his bike in red and black Lycra after finishing his latest ride.
He had one-year-old son Oscar, who looked suitably unimpressed, tucked under his arm in an adorable blue baby-grow with matching booties.
Gordon captioned the image: ‘Sunday funday 26.2 miles DONE!
Controversy: The Hell’s Kitchen star has faced huge backlash from neighbours who claimed he’s ‘brought coronavirus to them’ during the lockdown
‘Thinking about all those charities missing out on today’s London marathon, trust me we will make up for in October especially with my little mascot @oscarjramsay @huubdesign #gosh #gordonandtanaramsayfoundation #returnstronger.’
He already risked neighbours taking further umbrage after sharing a snapshot of himself heading out on a separate bike ride the weekend prior.
He captioned the image: ‘What a bike ride today, hills galore and some stunning country side thank you @huubdesign for the best gear and of course the ferrari of bikes @iamspecialized @iamspecialized_road Ps Deano I’m going to kick your a**e in the next tri [sic]’
The Hell’s Kitchen star then shared a series of clips overlooking Towan Beach in Newquay as he stopped for a rest before cycling the 11 miles back home.
Ramsay’s post sparked some annoyed comments online, as one follower remarked: ‘Stay at home’, whilst another added ‘hope you only went for 1 hour’.
As someone responded, ‘course not! Apparently it doesn’t apply to everyone’, the commenter quipped back, ‘yeah celebrity’s are better than us so they can do what they want’.
Another follower then joked: ‘make sure you don’t get caught by the neighbours’.
Whilst the UK stays in lockdown to slow the spread of COVID-19, the government advice is to ‘stay local and use open spaces near to your home where possible – do not travel unnecessarily’.
Other advice is to ‘make use of your garden for exercise and fresh air’.
Whilst there is no official guidance on how long people should be going outside to exercise, last month, Michael Gove advised that walks should be limited for an hour, and jogging for 30 minutes.
Last month, Ramsay was heavily criticised by his Cornish neighbours who claimed he had ‘brought the virus with him’ after moving his family to the mansion during the pandemic.
The anger is somewhat confused, however, as the chef and his family retreated to their second home at the start of the lockdown, which is not against the government’s rules.

This comes after Gordon made a thinly-veiled dig at the Cornish locals who have berated him for relocating his family – by heaping praise on a kindly neighbour.
The chef received a delivery of fresh asparagus, left by a local on his doorstep with a hand-written note, which read: ‘A little gift from the fields across your house.’
‘Now what a lovely, beautiful, generous little gift,’ he said. ‘C’mon, seriously, that’s literally growing in the back of my garden. Now that’s what I call love thy neighbour, see?
‘That’s how you look after each other across these difficult times. There you go. I’m sure one local will whinge about the asparagus!’
Gordon also made a playful reference to backlash he’s faced by offering his disgruntled neighbours a burger after completing a 10-minute challenge on Instagram Live.
In the live stream, he revealed he would be taking part in a 10 minute challenge, and if he didn’t complete preparing a burger in that time, he would donate £10,000 to NHS charities.
Displaying the finished product to his followers, he explained: ‘I’m not going to eat this. I’m going to give it to the neighbours next door. Hopefully that might put a smile on their face.’
Despite the perceived olive branch Gordon has been targeted by local residents on social media, with many accusing him of ‘flouting government regulations’ when he made the decision to move his family from London to their beachfront mansion.

One raged: ‘Don’t you realise that by doing that you’ve possibly brought the virus with you and because Cornwall is not your main residence, if you and your family get sick you will place yet more strain on an already fragile infrastructure.
‘I’m reporting you to the police. What you’ve done is against the law and I hope they force you back to London.’
Another shared: ‘Surely the police should be knocking on Gordon Ramsay’s door and escorting him back to London’.
A third wrote: ‘Good to hear that Gordon Ramsay too doesn’t think the rules apply to him, and has apparently moved himself and his family to his luxury second home in Cornwall. Makes you wonder why the police is not doing anything.’ (sic)
Others appear to be out for blood – with one shopper seen berating the chef for parking his car outside a local store.
The seething local confronted Gordon about the way the car was parked and the size of it.
Off he goes! The TV chef cooked the delicious dish on Instagram Live, before running to offer the dish to neighbours outside his house, shouting: ‘Love thy neighbour!’
While people with second homes are not allowed to travel back and forth, choosing one home and sitting out the lockdown in it is not against official advice.
A friend of the family told MailOnline: ‘The family see Cornwall as their family home when the kids are back from uni and Gordon back from filming around the world it’s where they spend all their family time together.
‘They’ve been spending time there for 10 years and Jack actually lives in the house there full time too. Most of their neighbours are so welcoming and they love being part of the community.
‘They’ve been following the government advice along with the rest of the country since they arrived on March 20th and the campaign against them is hurtful and unnecessary at a time when we should all be coming together and supporting each other.’
