Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay is using his celebrity and influence to share the dangers of overexposure to the sun after being diagnosed with skin cancer.
Chef Ramsay’s diagnosis:
The TV chef took to IG, sharing that a team of doctors removed basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.

“Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this Basal Cell Carcinoma. Thank you!”
“Please don’t forget your sunscreen ❤️.”
“I promise you it’s not a facelift! I’d need a refund 😜.”
