How Gordon Ramsay's Daughter Tilly Is Following In His Footsteps

Tilly Ramsay loves the spotlight as much as her dad. Per BBC, Gordon, Tana, and their kids starred on the popular kids' cooking show "Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch" for five seasons. The series scored three Children's BAFTA nominations and led to Tilly releasing a cookbook.

She also appeared on "Hell's Kitchen" in 2018, when contestants had to whip up a smorgasbord of sensory delights for Tilly's sweet sixteen. No pressure there. But Tilly became a U.K. household name after competing on "Strictly Come Dancing," the British version of "Dancing With the Stars." Per The Independent, viewers were shocked to see another side of Gordon when he was reduced to tears after Tilly was eliminated.

Still, despite exiting in a cloud of taffeta, glitter, and feathers after just ten weeks, Tilly had worked her way into the public's hearts. They rushed to her defense after LBC radio troll Steve Allen launched a gross misogynistic attack on her. "She's a chubby little thing, isn't she?" he said (via  YouTube). "Have you noticed? Probably her dad's cooking, I should imagine." 

"She's 19 years of age, for God's sake," Gordon during an Instagram Live video (per Cosmopolitan). "I think it was a breath of fresh air to see that level of 'stand up and we're not going to tolerate that,'" he continued, commenting on the public backlash. "[Weight's] a very sensitive issue, whether you're a girl or a guy."
