Gordon Ramsay voted top celebrity dad
Gordon Ramsay has come top of a poll of favourite celebrity
fathers.
The Hell's Kitchen chef, famously known for his temper,
topped the poll of 3000 British mothers, despite his frequent use of bad
language.
Also in the top 10 are Jamie Oliver, Bob Geldof and Jonathon
Ross, along with Tory leader David Cameron in fifth place.
The poll was commissioned to mark the launch of new kids channel Cartoon
Network Too.
Dominic Gardiner, spokesman for Cartoon Network, said, "It's fascinating
to see what qualities mothers look for in an ideal father.
"Even Gordon Ramsay would admit that his language isn't always suitable
for kids, but many mothers appear to think that he would have exactly
the right ideas when it comes to bringing up children."
Mothers most associated Ramsay with the qualities of hard work and discipline.
Labour chancellor and aspiring leader Gordon Brown was beaten in the
Poll by the Tory leader who was five places ahead of him.
"The fact that within a relatively short space of time in the public
eye, David Cameron is seen as being in the top five ideal fathers is very
good for his image.
"Cameron's approachability, powerful aura and trendy dress sense have
all helped him to capture the all-important female vote."
