In the straight-to-camera video, taken inside one of his kitchens, Ramsay thanked the \"amazing\" nurses and doctors at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London, Connecticut, who he said treated him following the accident.

He then stressed the importance of bike safety.

\"Honestly, you've got to wear a helmet. I don't care how short the journey is, I don't care the fact that these helmets cost money, but they're crucial,\" he said, his hands visibly shaking. \"Even with the kids [and] a short journey, they've got to wear a helmet.\"

The \"Hell's Kitchen\" and \"Master Chef\" host added, \"I'm in pain it's been a brutal week, but I'm sort of getting through it.\"

Ramsay lifted his white chef coat to reveal a massive black and blue bruise across his abdomen and left side, writing in the caption, \"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.\"

\"[I'm] most thankful for my helmet that saved my life,\" he added.

On Instagram, Ramsay shared an image of his broken helmet, which appears scratched up with a major crack down the middle. Ramsay's jersey can be seen in the background, also scratch up with a giant tear across the shoulder.

Ramsay concluded his message by wishing his followers \"a great Father's Day,\" encouraging them to \"be safe.\"
