Father-of-six Gordon Ramsay, 57, cuddles up for a sweet snap with sons Oscar, four, and newborn Jesse as he arrives home in time for Christmas

Gordon Ramsay's wife Tana shared a sweet photo of her husband and their youngest sons after the TV chef arrived home in time for Christmas on Wednesday.

The father-of-six, 57, seemed delighted to be back in the bosom of his family after some time away from work as they celebrated with a restaurant outing.

Gordon lovingly wrapped his arm around four-year-old Oscar and cradled one-month-old Jesse as he cuddled up for the sweet snap.

Tana, 49, captioned the post: “Daddy came home, now we can really start.”

The proud parents also share Megan, 25, twins Holly and Jack, 23, and 22-year-old Tilly.

Previously, his month Tana marked one month since Jesse's birth an adorable image of the toddler with the caption: 'Been with this little one for a month, loving every minute x @gordongram.'

Last month, Gordon and Tana announced that they had welcomed their sixth child together, and the Kitchen Nightmares star joked that he would be the “oldest dad” at school.

Gordon told it Entertainment tonight from the newcomer: 'Extraordinary. Truly extraordinary, just blessed.”

The TV star joked about being the oldest parent in school when it's time for Jesse to start classes, so he plans to go in disguise.

He added: 'I'm also sure I'll be the oldest dad at the school drop-off, so I'll keep my cap and glasses on.'

Gordon made the surprise announcement earlier this month that Tana – whom he married in 1996 – had given birth to their son.

In a post on November 11, three days after he turned 57, the chef wrote on Instagram: 'What an amazing birthday present, welcome Jesse James Ramsay, 2.3kg stunner!! Another bundle of love for the Ramsay Brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls…. Finished'

The Hell's Kitchen star shared the news along with a series of adorable photos of the family in the hospital.

She captioned the snap: “Been with this little one for a month.”

Gordon was quickly inundated with congratulations from fellow faces in the comments section of the post.

Wolverine star Hugh Jackman wrote, “Congratulations buddy!” while Paris Fury – who is married to boxing champion Tyson Fury and has seven children with him – sent her best wishes.

She wrote: 'Congratulations everyone. I thought the other day: it can't last much longer. Best blessings xxx'

In September, Gordon admitted he was pressured by Tana to have a sixth child, but said he was against the idea.

Speaking to Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on the Dish podcast, Gordon confessed: 'I have a little secret… Tana wants another one.'

But he admitted he was reluctant to have another baby because the family would need “two buses” and he would be older than the other parents at school.

He said: 'It's like going to school and eating out on two buses. And secondly, I'm going to be the oldest f***er in school. “Who's your grandpa?”

'And what about sports day? The egg and spoon race. What am I going to do? So I would like another one, but no.”
