Meet Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Matilda, an influencer who has also made it big in the kitchen – Having a strict upbringing, being required to fly economy class and not being allowed to travel first class with her parents, this dynamic woman will not be receiving any inheritance from her father’s $134 million fortune.
Matilda Elizabeth Ramsay is the 21-year-old British celebrity chef, restaurateur and television personality behind Gordon Ramsay. The TV presenter, chef and social media influencer is a window through which the world sees a different version of Gordon Ramsay, completely different from the screaming dictator of the kitchen. Tilly Ramsay is showing the world that she is following in her father’s footsteps perfectly while reintroducing him to the real image of a cool, pragmatic and loving father.
Along with the heat, steam and spoons, Tilly shows the world a man who has all the heart, affection and support (but no inheritance). Let’s take a look at the life of Matilda Ramsay, guided by her father, who is as skilled at parenting as he is at
Matilda, aka Tilly Ramsay, grew up in a luxurious £8.5 million mansion in Wandsworth, south London, with four siblings – two sisters and two brothers. The home of the famous chef and his large family was equipped with a gym, a study and, of course, a state-of-the-art kitchen. Tilly is said to be the number one chef in the family and her culinary adventures began very early.
At just 14, Tilly headlined the hugely successful CBBC series Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch, which followed the teenage cook in various cities around the world. By 2015, Tilly had penned her first book, Tilly’s kitchen takeover. She shared her excitement on Instagram, “so excited to hold my first copy of the book!! Pre-order now on amazon #tillyskitchentakeover ❤.”
A huge social media following –
Gordon Ramsay’s 21-year-old daughter boasts a huge social media following. She has 10.3 million followers on TikTok and 1.2 million on Instagram. Her popularity skyrocketed after she took part in the nineteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, where Ramsay was paired with professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin.
She calls celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay a ‘weakling’ –
He may scream obscenities at you in the kitchen, but Gordon Ramsay, the father, is the complete opposite of a chef! “A lot of people think Dad is this scary, screaming guy because they’ve seen him on TV,” says Tilly. “But really, as soon as you meet him or are in the same room with him, you realise he’s actually a softie – he’s like a teddy bear. All he wants to do is have fun and play. Yes, when he’s focused in the kitchen, he can be assertive and tell you what to do. But I guess everyone in the work space is like that – he’s not like that.” Hilariously, the Ramsay patriarch was banned from Tilly’s parent-teacher conference for taking a selfie with the headmaster. Tilly calls her dad her best friend. She wrote, ‘Happy birthday to my best friend!! Thank you dad for everything you do, I wouldn’t be the person I am without you, I love you so much. ‘
Gordon Ramsay and wife Tana never treat their kids like royalty –
The strict but fair father revealed that his children don’t sit first class with their parents when they go on holiday. “They don’t sit first class with us. They don’t work hard enough to afford that. At that age, at that size, you’re telling me they need to sit first class? No they don’t. We’re really strict about that,” he said. The Ramsays are also strict about their daily routine and limiting screen time.
Growing up Growing up, Tilly and her siblings were expected to perform specific chores around the house, including setting the table and cleaning up after dinner. “They clean up after every dinner,” Gordon explains. “It’s a system. It’s important that they help clear up and clear the table, it’s important that they cook, it’s important that they do their homework.”
