The celebrity chef could be seen wiping back tears of pride after his daughter’s performance on Saturday
Fans have been moved by Gordon Ramsay’s emotional reaction to his daughter Tilly’s exit from Strictly Come Dancing.
Tilly and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin were eliminated from the show over the weekend after scoring 30 in their Samba and finding themselves in the dreaded dance-off, with the judges sending Rhys Stephenson and his partner Nancy Xu through to the quarter-finals at their expense.
It's been such a joy watching Tilly transform into a dancer with Nikita by her side. Thank you both for 10 fabulous weeks! #Strictly pic.twitter.com/XP1qdj8Hyq

After his daughter’s exit from Strictly, the celebrity chef shared a picture of Tilly and Kuzmin on Instagram, writing: “Words can’t describe how proud I am of these 2, hard working polite humble and incredibly down to earth, most of all well done and what a celebration of youth and how happy it makes me feel.
“The future is bright and you 2 will continue to shine lots of love dad.”
