Warning: This article contains a graphic video which some readers may find distressing.

Gordon Ramsay has admitted he's 'lucky to be here' after suffering horrific injuries in a biking accident.

The celebrity chef posted a video to his social media channels on Saturday (June 15) after he was left shaken by an accident in Connecticut.

In the clip, Ramsay's hands were evidentially shaking as he explained the terrifying ordeal.

"Hey guys, it’s Gordon. I’d like to share a very important message with you all," he began.

"You know how much I love cycling and triathlons and Ironman (races) etc and this week, unfortunately, I had a really bad accident and it really shook me and honestly I’m lucky to be here.

"Those incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses in the hospitals looked after me this week, they were amazing but honestly, you’ve got to wear helmets."

Ramsay added: "I don’t care how short the journey is. I don’t care… these helmets cost money, but they’re crucial, even with a kid’s short journey, they’ve got to wear a helmet now.

“I’m lucky to be standing here. I’m in pain. It’s been a brutal week. And I’m sort of getting through it.”

At one point in the video Ramsay lifts up his shirt to reveal a huge dark purple bruise across his torso to viewers.

And while it looks very painful, the 57-year-old confirmed in a caption to the video he hasn't broke any bones.

"I’m doing OK and did not break any bones or suffer any major injuries but I am a bit bruised up looking like a purple potato," he wrote.

Ramsay also went on to say he was treated at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London, Connecticut.

He also credited the helmet which 'saved' his life.

Another added: "The way my heart sank when you lifted your shirt!! The world needs you chef!! Beyond happy to hear you are going to be okay, and thank God for that helmet! Happy Father’s Day and speedy recovery goat!!"
