What bike accident?

Chef Gordon Ramsay appears in fine form posing shirtless on the cover of Men’s Health UK’s latest issue.

The celeb chef, 57, shows no sign of the gruesome injuries he received after taking the harrowing tumble back in June in Connecticut.

The foul mouthed reality star initially shared news of the incident days later on Father’s Day, urging his followers to always wear a helmet. At the end of the PSA, Ramsay pulled up his chef’s jacket revealing a massive purple hematoma spread across his torso.

In the MH article, the restaurateur who owns Lucky Cat and Hell’s Kitchen in Miami, provided more details about the crash.

Ramsay says that he was riding down a hill when his front wheel hit a “crater-like pothole,” and he went flying into the air.

After trying to put the chain back on and resume the journey, Ramsay realized his helmet had split, his vision was blurry and there was blood everywhere.

“I honestly thought I was going to pass out,” recounted the Scot. He was transported to the hospital, where miraculously, doctors found no part of his body was broken, just bruised.

What else was bruised? The famed hothead’s ego.

While recovering, he was forced to rely on his male assistant to help him do everything, which was “embarrassing.”

“I couldn’t even put my f---ing socks and pants on,” said the father of six. “Justin, he used to dress me in the morning. I felt like a f---ing 95-year-old man.”

These days, the TV star is back feeling his chronological age and in primo shape, as evidenced by the British magazine’s non-filtered snaps, which Ramsay proudly shared on social media.

“I think about the drive that I have; fitness is the foundation,” said Ramsay, who does a mix of running, swimming, biking and core work to keep things tight. “You’re on your own, up a mountain, on a bike, trail, run, swim. I find training relaxing because it just gets me out of that fast lane.”

Don’t expect him to become a pensioner anytime soon.

“I could sit back, put my feet up, buy a boat and f--k off to the Caribbean, but I have no interest in that,” he concludes. “I love the jeopardy… and I can do that because I’m fit. I can do that because I’ve got the drive. When I haven’t got the drive, then I’ll decide to hang up the hat.”
