This week, he opened up in a cover story for Men's Health UK revealing the extent of his mobility struggles. 

"I couldn't even put my f---ing socks and pants on," he confessed. "Justin [Mandel, his assistant], he used to dress me in the morning. I felt like a f---ing 95-year-old man. Asking a 30-year-old kid to put my f---ing underpants on was embarrassing."

When he first announced he had been in the biking incident, he wrote: "This week I had a really bad accident while riding my bike in Connecticut.

"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," then revealing a giant purple bruise on his left hip.

"I'm thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at Lawerence + Memorial Hospital in New London who looked after me and checked me out, but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life."

In the video, Ramsay shared that the accident "really shook" him, adding that he's "lucky to be here" and praising the trauma surgeons, doctors, nurses and other hospital staff who aided his recovery.

"Honestly, you've got to wear a helmet," he said. "I don't care how short the journey is, I don't care, you know, the fact that these helmets cost money... they're crucial. Even with the kids, a short journey, they've got to wear a helmet.

"Now, I'm lucky to be standing here," Ramsay continued. "I am in pain, it's been a brutal week, and I am sort of getting through it. But I cannot tell you the importance of wearing a helmet."
