Gordon Ramsay the 'happiest dad in the world' after daughter Tilly's major announcement
Gordon Ramsay has spoken about his joy at daughter Tilly's incredible news this summer, calling himself "the happiest dad in the world" as he and wife Tana posed alongside the 22-year-old. The famously sweary chef swapped the four-letter words for boundless admiration as the social media influencer, who was one of the stars on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, marked a major milestone in her life.
Tilly appeared with her parents after her graduation from university, where she bagged a top degree, posing in a black gown and mortar-board hat and clutching the certificate in a red tube in a series of pictures shared in July. Among the well-wishers sending congratulations at the happy news were David Beckham and I'm A Celebrity star Fred Sirieix, who starred alongside the chef in his Gordon, Gino and Fred TV series.
Hell's Kitchen and F Word star Gordon, 57, who looked more delighted than everyone else in the shot, posted the snap on social media and revealed the subject Tilly has been studying, telling his followers: "She’s Done it! Can’t explain enough how proud we are of this one honestly with everything you’ve been up against and to see you graduate today with a psychology BSc makes me the happiest Dad in the World congratulations darling well done Tilly."

Gordon's football legend pal David Beckham, 49, was among one of the first to comment, writing: "Well done Tilly we are so so proud." Bear Grylls, 50, added: "Well done!!!" while food presenter Big Zuu, 29, said simply: "Congrats!"
Former Strictly star Tilly is one of dad Gordon's six children with her mum Tana, 49. They also have Megan, 26, twins Holly and Jack, both 24, Oscar, five, and baby Jesse, who is one. She revealed last year that she was dating Henry Farrow, despite persistent rumours linking her to her Strictly dance partner pro Nikita Kuzmin during her time on the show.
The pair went public with their romance on Valentine's Day with a snap where he had his arm around her and the pair were surrounded by cupcakes. She captioned it simply: "Happy Valentine's Day."

However, it was Gordon who managed to get the information she was dating somebody out of her publicly, during a grilling on a charity special of Celebrity Gogglebox they both appeared on where he pressed her saying: 'Have you got a boyfriend? Yes or no, Matilda."
Embarrassed and seemingly trying desperately to avoid the question, he concluded by speaking on her behalf and saying: "Yes! She's got a boyfriend. Finally."
