United Kingdom, Feb. 18 -- Gordon Ramsay's "torrid relationship" with his father has inspired him to be a better dad.

The 59-year-old celebrity chef revealed that he strives to be as supportive as he can to his six children - Megan, 27, twins Holly and Jack, 26, Tilly, 24, Oscar, six, and Jesse, two - because of the difficult childhood he had with his alcoholic father Gordon.

In the opening episode of his Netflix docu-series Being Gordon Ramsay, he said: "I, sadly, had a torrid relationship with my father. My father called me a snob once. And I said, 'No, definitely not a snob. I just want to get out of the s*** mess I was born in.'"

Gordon remembers weekends when he would watch his dad "ruin his life through alcohol".
