Gordon Ramsay wants to follow in the footsteps of daughter Tilly and have a go on Strictly
(Picture: C4/YouTube)Gordon Ramsay has said he is up for participating in a future series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The celebrity chef became open to the idea after watching his daughter Tilly, 21, compete in the BBC ballroom show last year.
Tilly progressed to the tenth week before being eliminated.
But while his daughter went far on the show, Ramsay feels he’s unlikely to make it past the first stage because of his enormous feet.
“I would love to dance but I’ve got a huge problem – I’ve got size 15 feet,” he said on The Jonathan Ross Show, which airs tonight (December 16).
The 56-year-old continued: “Tilly did it last year and she was amazing. I don’t know. Those dancers are amazing.
“I’d love to learn how to dance properly.”
After his daughter’s stint on Strictly, he paid tribute to his “polite and humble” daughter and thanked her and her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin for making him “happy”.
The chef was also regularly in the audience cheering his daughter on throughout the competition, including when she competed in the dance-off and narrowly missed out on a quarter-final place.
The father-daughter duo have also worked together, with the two appearing on their sofas for Gogglebox for the Stand Up To Cancer edition of the Channel 4 show, which aired in October.
Ramsay also admitted that following in his daughter’s footsteps has become a recurring theme as it’s also led him to joining TikTok.
He said: “I have three amazing daughters and they inspire me. They started that craze in lockdown. I take their steer.”
The Kitchen Nightmares star, whose other daughters are Megan, 24, and 22-year-old Holly, has attracted more than 35 million followers on the social media platform thanks to his no-holes barred critiques of other people’s cooking.
He also appears in many of her TikTok videos to the delight of fans.
