Three men, a new baby, and lots of laughs
Gordon, Gino And Fred Christmas Road Trip: Three Unwise Men
ITV, Mon, Dec 23, 9pm
Three men making a journey across the desert at Christmas certainly sounds familiar.
In Gordon, Gino & Fred’s Christmas Road Trip, though, these are the Three Unwise Men!
Gordon Ramsay, Gino D’Acampo and Fred Sirieix are teaming up once again this Christmas for another food pilgrimage – and Scots chef Gordon was happy to make it back for a certain special baby.
His own new son, Oscar.
“This Christmas will be extra special with the arrival of Oscar,” he said.
“A baby’s first Christmas is magical. It’s always time for family – and food, of course! “All the family will be home, all the kids together, and it will be a really amazing, special
time. I can’t wait!”
Gordon, 53, and wife Tana, welcomed Oscar earlier this year but if he needed to feel fatherly again, he didn’t have to look beyond his two co-stars.
“It’s amazing to be back – believe it or not I’ve actually missed those two!” he laughed.
“We are lucky to have an incredible bond and share a motto – ‘Work hard, play harder!’
“Although don’t get me wrong, it is like having two more young sons, what with Fred’s moods and Gino’s games!”
The trio find themselves on the back of three camels in the middle of Morocco’s Agafay Desert, visiting a local Arabic family to eat mutton, nose-to-tail… literally.
“The thing about us travelling together is we love food and drink and people open up their restaurants and farms and houses for us,” explained Fred.
“We love life, we love to have fun and we love experiences, so we did so many fun things.
“We are very different characters and yet we love and enjoy each other’s company. I don’t think I could do this trip with any other people.”
