Gordon Ramsay's wife Tana shared a sweet snap of her husband and youngest sons after the TV chef returned home in time for Christmas on Wednesday.

The 57-year-old father of six seemed delighted to be back with his family after a break from work and celebrated with a restaurant outing.

Gordon lovingly wrapped his arm around four-year-old Oscar and cradled month-old Jesse, who was cuddled up for the sweet snapshot.

Tana, 49, captioned the post: “Dad has arrived home, now we can really get started.”

The proud parents also include Megan (25), twins Holly and Jack (23) and 22-year-old Tilly.

At the start of his month, Tana marked the month since Jesse's birth with an adorable picture of the tot with the caption: “This little one is already a month old and loving every minute x @gordongram.”

Last month, Gordon and Tana announced they had welcomed their sixth child together, and the Kitchen Nightmares star joked he would be the “oldest dad” at the school drop-off.

Gordon told “Entertainment Tonight” of the newcomer: “Extraordinary. “Really extraordinary, just blessed.”

The TV star went on to joke that he'll be the oldest parent in school when it's time for Jesse to start classes, so he plans to dress up.

He added: “I'm also sure I'll be the oldest dad when I drop it off at school, so I'm keeping my hat and glasses on.”

Gordon made the surprise announcement earlier this month that Tana – who he married in 1996 – had given birth to their son.

In a post on November 11, three days after his 57th birthday, the chef wrote on Instagram: “What an amazing birthday present, please say hello to Jesse James Ramsay, 7lb 10oz, massive!!!” Another bundle of love the Ramsay Brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls…. Completed'

The Hell's Kitchen star shared the news along with a series of adorable pictures of the family in the hospital.

Gordon was soon flooded with congratulatory messages from other faces in the comments section of the post.

Wolverine star Hugh Jackman wrote: “Congratulations mate!” while Paris Fury – who is married to boxing champion Tyson Fury and has seven children with him – sent her best wishes.

She wrote: “Congratulations to you all.” I was thinking recently that it can't be much longer. Best blessings xxxx'

In September, Gordon admitted he was pressured by Tana to have a sixth child, but said he was against the idea.

Speaking to Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on the Dish podcast, Gordon confessed: “I have a little secret… Tana wants another one.”

However, he admitted he was reluctant to have another child, saying the family needed “two buses” and that he was older than the other parents at the school.

He said, “It's like going to school and eating on two buses.” And secondly, I'll be the oldest in the school. “Who’s your grandpa?”

“And what about sports day? The egg and spoon race. What should I do? Well, I would like another one, but no.'
