GORDON RAMSAY joked Adam Peaty is “full of s***” after he dropped a retirement hint.
The world famous chef sat down to chat with Team GB star Peaty ahead of Paris 2024.
Peaty and Ramsay know each other well, with the Olympian dating Ramsay’s daughter Holly.
The pair spoke about food, Peaty’s journey to the Games, his return to form and how he finds happiness away from the pool.
But Ramsay wouldn’t let the five-time Olympic medal winner get away without quizzing him about his plans after this summer’s Olympics.
Peaty has previously explained how he considered retirement and even took a break from swimming back in 2023, citing mental health struggles at the time.
It’s only natural that Ramsay, much like the whole of the UK, would be keen to learn if Peaty was going to continue competing past this summer with his outstanding record something to envy.
But when the hot-headed chef asked if Peaty would hang up his goggles after the Paris Games, the swimming sensation was hesitant to commit to an answer.
He said: “Who knows? You’re smiling. I’m not going to give you the pleasure.
“I’m not going to do it. You’re trapping me.”

Ramsay hilariously launched a typically foul-mouthed reply to Peaty’s shielded answer.
He joked: “You’re full of s***!”
Adding: “You are definitely not retiring. Absolutely, definitely not retiring.”
And Ramsay had to time to slip one more cheeky joke in before the interview concluded too.
Saying: “Very best of luck. Don’t f*** this up”.
Peaty has already won gold three times for Team GB at the Olympics and is hoping to add to that tally in the pool this summer.
The 29-year-old has revealed that he thinks he can win gold again in the coming weeks, explaining that he “wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe that.”
Peaty is bidding to become one of Team GB’s most decorated athletes by adding to the three medals he scooped in Tokyo back in 2020 and the two he earned in the 2016 Rio games.
The men’s 100m breast stroke heats begin on Saturday with the final set to take place on Sunday, should Peaty qualify for the chance to complete his three-Peat.
