Tilly Ramsay reacts to dad Gordon's outpouring of emotion after Strictly performance

Gordon Ramsay surprised fans on Strictly Come Dancing earlier last month when he was seen wiping away tears after his daughter Tilly and partner Nikita performed the Charleston.

And Tilly has now addressed her dad's reaction, telling What To Watch how out of character his tears were.

The 19-year-old influencer said: "I still can’t believe he cried, he’s so not that kind of guy!

"The whole family are so supportive and hopefully proud of me.

"Without their support really none of this would be possible," she added to What To Watch.

Gordon's crying was a talking point on social media that evening, with many surprised at his sensitive side.

CH commented: "Gordon Ramsay crying on live TV. 2021 has been a weird year #StrictlyComeDancing."

Brianna wrote: "Gordon Ramsay in the audience crying because he’s so proud of his daughter has absolutely set me off. This is the most wholesome series #Strictly."

John penned: "Nah Gordon Ramsay crying watching Tilly on #Strictly has done me in."

Shannon added: "Never thought I’d spend my Saturday night getting emotional at Gordon Ramsay crying at his daughter dancing on Strictly, but here we are."

Stace Williams tweeted: "This year’s #strictly is so wholesome even Gordon Ramsay is crying."

The outspoken chef has since gone on to support his daughter throughout the competition.

Following last week's Halloween episode, the 54-year-old left a message on her Instagram page.

In view of her 1.1 million, Tilly shared a clip of her and Nikita's Cha Cha Cha routine as she thanked fans for voting for them.

Gordon commented: "Such an amazing Cha Cha Cha well done, keep working hard @tillyramsay @nikita__kuzmin one week at a time, brilliant such a joy to watch love you Dad."

During the show, he also congratulated the pair via video link and praised their performance as "exceptional".

However, he couldn't resist taking a cheeky swipe at Nikita for showing too much flesh on the dance floor.

He said: "One little issue, Nikita, you and I have been talking for many months now.

"You know Frankenstein always has his top button done up. Come on, man.

"Get rid of the six pack. It's a family show. Really?"

Tonight, the duo will return to the dance floor with a Tango to Ava Max's Kings and Queens.

Strictly Come Dancing airs Saturdays and Sundays on BBC1.
