Wife’s grief over ‘systematic defraud’

The wife of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has told a judge of her “extremely distressing” discovery that her father and brother were “systematically defrauding” her husband.

Tana Ramsay made the allegation as she gave evidence in a high-profile legal action in which her husband is accusing her father, Christopher Hutcheson of using a ghost writer machine to “forge” his signature.

Ramsay claims the machine was used without his knowledge to make him personally liable for the €514,000-a-year annual rental on the historic York & Albany pub near Regent’s Park in London.
