Ramsay, 48, said Ronnie did not seem to be able to break free of his addiction, despite his own continuing efforts to help his brother and their mother Helen’s attempts.
He told a Sunday newspaper: “They have got to hit rock bottom before they want to get out of that scenario, so I think it is more painful from the outside for mum.”
An Indonesian court has sentenced Ronnie to 10 months in prison for the possession of heroin.
Hell’s Kitchen star Gordon added: “Yeah, he is my brother and there is 15 months between us but our lives have gone left and right.”
He added: “There is not a day when I don’t think about him.”
