‘Lies and empty promises' rant by mistress in Ramsay affair

The writer alleged to have been Gordon Ramsay's mistress of seven years has composed a bitter internet rant about being the other woman.

Bitter blog: Sarah Symonds laments all of the 'waiting' she has done as a mistress

Sarah Symonds, 38, who has written a book on infidelity, said on her blog to other mistresses: "Just think back on all of the lies and empty promises he has ever fed you. Think of all the soul-destroying waiting' you have allowed yourself to endure by being his secret woman."

The advice was left months before the allegations of the affair with the TV chef came to light and gives some insight into her motivations.

On the blog, she speaks of the "pain" of adulterous relationships and advises mistresses not to fall in love with a married man "who does not love you, who has lied to you (and is lying to his wife and his family) and who you have no chance of a future with."

Crisis: Tana and Gordon have presented a united front thus far

Ramsay and his wife Tana, who have four children, have put up a united front and are said to have held crisis talks to save their 12-year marriage.

According to a friend, Ramsay has denied the claims that Symonds was his mistress of seven years, telling 33-year-old Tana he only met her four times.

But he has yet to publicly deny that he cheated on those occasions.

Tana was still putting on a brave face today as she stepped out with Gordon. But a friend said Ramsay, 42, was "devastated" by the uproar and has apologised to his wife.

"Gordon was honest with Tana," the source said. "It was the least he could do in light of all that's happened. He is so remorseful over putting her and the kids through such an ordeal.

He's also very angry and says a lot of it is complete b*****ks." The allegations came to light when a Sunday newspaper said the pair had a tryst as recently as last Thursday.
