Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Tilly breaks her arm, ruining her dream of dancing on this year’s Strictly 

She’s been presenting her own cooking show since the tender age of 13.

But Tilly Ramsay’s dream of getting out of the kitchen and onto the dance floor for this year’s Strictly has been scuppered by the teenager breaking her arm.

The presenter, 18, is currently sporting a pink cast on her left arm after taking a tumble off a seesaw last week. 

Swings and roundabouts:  Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Tilly, 18, has scuppered her chance to compete in this year’s Strictly by breaking her arm

The third child of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, 53, took to her Instagram stories to share a snap of herself sat at the kitchen table with her injury held aloft.

The cheeky star poked her tongue out and gave the camera a wink in the post captioned ‘I fell off a seesaw, how’s your day going?’

Tilly’s playground mishap couldn’t have come at a worse time for her as rumour has it she was set to compete in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing in October.

The Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch presenter would have been the youngest contestant in this year’s lineup of the BAFTA winning show.

Tilly would have been the youngest signing for this year’s series, which is due to begin filming in Autumn with a number of social distancing measures in place.

A source told the Sun on Sunday: ‘Tilly was geared up for this year’s show but won’t be better in time for filming.’

The source revealed that Tilly was ‘hugely excited’ about taking part, while BBC bosses felt the connection to her famous father would boost the show’s ratings.

They continued: ‘And it’s a headache for BBC bosses, who thought signing Tilly was a coup, with her famous dad and his pals bound to back her.’

While  there were initial talks about Tilly still competing if she was healed by October, this has been advised against by the student’s doctors.

The source added: ‘She’s been assured next year talks will resume if she is still up for taking part.’

MailOnline has contacted the BBC and Gordon Ramsay’s representatives for comment.   

Tilly, who is the third of Gordon’s four children who he shares with wife of 24 years Tana Ramsay, has become a successful TV chef in her own right.

In 2017 the blonde star brought out her own cookery book called Tilly’s Kitchen Takeover ‘with 1 or 2 helpful hints from Dad!’

Ms Ramsay has been co-presenting a This Morning segment called Big Chef, Little Chef with her father since 2018, but the pair have recently branched out into TikTok.

 

Gordon has joined Tilly for a number of fun viral videos together, attempting the latest dance crazes or cooking together.

Having made 29 videos on the platform to date for their six million followers, the Ramsay family are said to earn a whopping £4,900 per post. 

In May, the celebrity chef thrilled fans as he filmed his take on the Flip The Switch challenge, which saw him change into Tilly’s white dress.

In the video Gordon is in the midst of preparing another delicious dish ahead of another Instagram Live with his daughter, whose real name is Matilda, and begins to sprinkle pepper into the pan. 

The scene suddenly cuts to black, and when it returns Gordon is wearing his daughter’s white frilled dress, while Tilly wears his red hoodie.

While in March, the duo once again showcased their funny side as they performed the ‘juice, sauce and a little bit of dressing’ TikTok dance.

Having mastered the routine, which at the time had garnered 2 million views, Gordon joked the food-themed dance could inspire some new recipes as millions around the world self isolate.
