Gordon Ramsay and daughter Tilly Ramsay celebrated their joint birthday with sweet tributes to each other on social media.
The 57-year-old chef is doting dad to five kids – Megan, 25, twins Holly and Jack, 23, Tilly, 22, and four-year-old Oscar – who he shares with wife Tana Ramsay, but he has a special bond with 22-year-old daughter Tilly, as the pair miraculously share a birthday. The former Strictly Come Dancing star has also developed a flair for cooking, which has delighted her Michelin-starred chef father.
Taking to Instagram, the Һell`s Kitchen star posted a photo of him dressed in a smart suit while cuddling Tilly, who looked gorgeous in a gold strapless gown, as he kissed her on the forehead. “I`m the luckiest Dad in the world to share my birthday with this gorgeous young lady @tillyramsay Happy Birthday darling love you,” he sweetly wrote. “I love you so much!! Happy birthday,” Tilly replied.
She later shared her own birthday wishes to dad Gordon and posted a photo of the two wearing matching black suits while posing before a celebratory dinner on Wednesday. “Happy birthday to my partner in crime!! Love sharing this special day with you and celebrating together @gordongram,” she captioned the photo.
“I’m so happy to spend time with you today, I love you so much @tillyramsay,” Gordon captioned the sweet photo. Tilly’s followers were quick to send birthday wishes to the father-daughter duo, including her former co-stars. “Happy birthday Tilly,” Rose Ayling-Ellis commented, as did Johannes Radebe, who wrote: “Happy birthday doll.”
Gordon and Tilly have a special bond thanks to their love of food and cooking, and she even made it to the finals of Celebrity MasterChef Australia, showing fans that she is following in her father’s footsteps. The duo also regularly appear on Celebrity Gogglebox, and the chef had viewers in floods of tears as he recalled the family`s terror over Tilly`s cаncer scаre 10 years ago.
“When we found out you had a tumour, when you were 12 years old, there was a terrible episode, was it cаncerous, was it malignant?” » Gordon said as he began to sob. “Go to the movies with you, remember? And that is not the case. Luckily, Tilly’s tumor was safely removed and was not cаncerous, but that didn’t stop Gordon from being moved by the story of a 22-year-old cаncer patient who died from the diseаse.
“You’re so lucky,” Tilly told her father. “And it’s not cаncer, my God, 22 years is unfair,” Gordon shouted.
