Back in May, the Hells Kitchen star, who is worth an estimated £30million explained his choice to keep his children grounded by making them fly economy, not letting them eat in his restaurants and making them work for their pocket money.
Speaking to the Mirror, the British cook said: 'I have got to keep it real with the kids, and also I think just getting kids at the age of five, six and seven, used to first class and those big seats.
'I do not want them sat there with a 10 course f***ing menu with champagne.'
