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 Hell’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.

Tilly’s followers were quick to send birthday wishes to the father-daughter duo, including her former Strictly co-stars. “Happy Birthday Tilly,” Rose Ayling-Ellis commented, as well as Johannes Radebe, who wrote: “Happy birthday doll.”
Gordon and Tilly share a special connection through their love of food and cooking, and she even reached the finals of Celebrity MasterChef Australia, showing her fans she was following in her dad’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 cancer scare 10 years ago.

And it wasn’t.” Luckily, Tilly’s tumour was safely removed, and it wasn’t cancerous, but that didn’t stop Gordon from getting emotional over the story of a 22-year-old cancer patient who lost her life to the disease.
“I was very lucky,” Tilly told her dad. “And it wasn’t cancer, f**king hell, 22, it’s so unfair," Gordon cried.
