Gordon Ramsay’s father-in-law Chris Hutcheson has failed in his attempt to take out an injunction hiding his second family.
Chris Hutcheson, 62, brought up two children with mistress Frances Collins and bankrolled them with his giant salary as Chief Executive Officer of the television chef’s global empire.
All the time he portrayed himself as a respectable family man, fathering four more children with unsuspecting wife Greta.
She was unaware he was taking secret holidays with his second family.
Shockingly Ramsay knew the facts, yet only told Tana – his wife of 12 years – AFTER he fired her father last October.
Questions have also been raised about the reasons behind Hutcheson’s departure from Ramsay’s empire.
Allegations have been made that Hutcheson had been misusing company funds to pay for his second family. He denies this.
Hell’s Kitchen star Ramsay, 44, unravelled a tissue of lies surrounding Hutcheson’s background after hiring private investigators to learn why his company was haemorrhaging cash.
The betrayal contributed to his decision to cut all ties with his father-in-law, with whom he had run Gordon Ramsay Holdings as “a committee of two”.
Their daughter Victoria was born in 1981 and now lives in Boston, Mass, US. Son Chris, 31, runs a computer firm in Welwyn Garden City, Herts. Ramsay wrote of Hutcheson’s “complex life” in an open letter to Greta last November.
He said: “To curb my suspicions, I employed a private detective and the situation started to unravel. “The very complex life Chris leads has seen many of my key staff feeling they have had to cover on his behalf. His away days were rarely what I thought.”
Ramsay also believes his father-in-law took £1.5million loans from the firm, where he worked 12 years.
While perfectly legal, it came at a time when it was facing financial crisis. Hutcheson, his wife and son Adam have launched unfair dismissal lawsuits.
Master of the Rolls Lord Neuberger yesterday upheld High Court judge Mr Justice Eady’s refusal to grant Hutcheson an interim injunction in December.
Judge Eady had granted a temporary order gagging the story, allowing Hutcheson to appeal.
