While another preferred to keep things short and sweet: ‘It’s not gonna be the same.’.

‘Not gonna lie.. feel a bit weepy that Gordon is leaving. We will miss you,’ said a third.

One viewer went so far as to say they were surprised to see Gordon, who is always marketed ‘as the chef from hell’, turn out to be ‘a genuinely good guy, who’s humble and completely passionate about cooking’.
