Gordon Ramsay Cruelly Trolled For Giving Son Oscar A Ponytail

'Oh my God, why are people freaking out over Oscar having a ponytail?'

Gordon Ramsay manages to cause a social media storm with everything he does, whether it's advertising an overpriced steak and chips or dividing opinions with a fry up.

But yesterday one of his posts ended up causing a debate of a different kind - and we're so not here for it.

Taking to Instagram, the 54-year-old chef shared a video of his daughter Tilly, 19, and his 22-month-old son, Oscar, whose hair had grown so long over lockdown it was tied up in a ponytail, just like his sister's.

"Who wore it better? @tillyramsay or @oscarjramsay? #lockdownhair," the chef wrote.

Cute, right? Well, believe it or not, a small minority people took this post as an opportunity to troll Gordon for not having cut his son's hair.

*Sigh*

"He's got a pony tail? Cut that poor boys hair!!!," wrote one of Gordon's followers, in the comments.

Meanwhile, another penned: "Get that kids hair cut..."

"Christ give the kid a break and a haircut," a third wrote.

Luckily, praise for Oscar's gorgeous little ponytail largely drowned out the online bullies.

Claiming he'd manage to snatch victory from his sister, one follower wrote: "Defo Oscar, can't beat long hair on a little boy."

As another concurred: "Oscar! His hair colourings are gorgeous - highlight goals!!"

And many were quick to swoop in and shut down any naysayers, too.

"Omg. look at yourself. It's a child. Let him be," wrote one disgruntled follower, after seeing some of the negative comments.

While another agreed: "Oh my God, why are people freaking out over Oscar having a ponytail?"

We concur.

Gordon and his wife Tana welcomed their fifth child in April 2019.

His birth came nearly three years after Tana suffered a devastating miscarriage five months into her pregnancy in June 2016. They named their late son Rocky.

They were already parents to four other children: Matilda (Tilly), 19, twins Jack and Holly, 21, and Megan, 23.
