Tilly Ramsy is fast becoming the second most famous member of her family – with TV jobs, online success and a cookbook under her belt even though she’s just a teenager.
The 19-year-old star has a huge following in excess of 10 million combined thanks to her success on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.
And she has been a star in her own right in the field of television since helming a CBBC cookery show from 2015 to 2019 – bagging BAFTA nominations in the process.
But there is much more to the star – who is the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay – and TV fans will soon be seeing a lot more of her after she landed a role on Strictly Come Dancing for the 2021 series.
Who is Tilly Ramsay and how old is she?
Tilly Ramsay is the daughter of TV chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife, broadcaster and cookery book author Tana, who was born on 8 November 2001.
While having famous parents would propel many into the spotlight from birth, Tilly – whose full name is Matilda Elizabeth Ramsay – didn’t make her own TV debut until 2005 where she appeared in an episode of The F Word on Channel 4.
She has gone on to carve out a career of her own – with success both on screen and online, and even has a cook book of her own.
Why is Tilly Ramsay famous?
Along with being the daughter of TV chef Gordon Ramsay, Tilly has been starring on television since she was just four years old.
While she was a guest on shows including MasterChef Junior and Hell’s Kitchen, she broke into the role of a TV chef in 2015 when she helmed the BADTA nominated CBBC cookery show Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch.
She has since cooked on shows including Celebrity MasterChef Australia and This Morning – and released her cook book, Matilda & The Ramsay Bunch: Tilly's Kitchen Takeover, in 2017.
She also has over 9.5 million followers on TikTok where she shares comedic videos of herself and her dad playing pranks and dancing together – while she is going to reach new mainstream highs as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.
How many brothers and sisters does Tilly Ramsay have?
Tilly is one of Gordon and Tana’s five children – and is one of three daughters and two sons of the TV chef and his wife.
Her older sisters are 23-year-old Megan and 21-year-old Holly, while her big brother is 21-year-old Jack – who is Holly’s twin.
She also has a two-year-old younger brother named Oscar who arrived in April 2019 – and all of the siblings have featured on Gordon’s TV shows or via his social media outlets.
Who is Tilly Ramsay dating?
Rumours swirled in 2018 that Tilly had struck up a romance with TV chef Gino D’Acampo’s son Luciano after their dads worked together on an ITV cooking show.
Gordon downplayed the speculation during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, saying: “I think they are friends,” and subsequent reports have suggested the chef’s daughter is not dating his rival chef’s son.
While Strictly stars have a tendency to end up dating their dance partners, Tilly’s parents gave her a stern warning not to get too close to whoever she is partnered with.
Proud dad Gordon joked in a message to her that was shared on This Morning, growling: “Don’t date those dancers!”
