Proud dad Gordon Ramsay couldn’t hold back his tears after he watched his daughter Tilly perform on Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Tilly and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin certainly bought the house down with their energetic dance routine to Charleston and dazzled the judges with their impressive moves.
But as the camera panned to chef Gordon, who is known for his tough personality and foul-mouthed antics in the kitchen, viewers at home could clearly see the tears in his eyes.
Presenter Tess Daly also picked up on Gordon’s emotional demeanour. Turning to Tilly she said: “Gordon, your dad is crying he shed a little tear.”

Spectators at home were also left emotional by the scenes and headed to Twitter to express their thoughts.
One fan penned: “Gordon Ramsey was sooo proud of tilly such a cute moment to see.”
Another chimed: “Who thought they would have seen Gordon CRYING on television ??”
A third penned: “Just like the fabulous @CraigRevHorwood also deep down @GordonRamsay is a BIG softy too. Was lovely to see that side to Gordon. He’s so proud of @tillyramsay and rightly so. FaBuLoUs!!!”
“And I never thought that I’d ever see Gordon Ramsay crying on live tv,” a fourth surprised viewer penned.
But the good news didn’t stop there for Tilly as the judges appeared to love her performance.
Later on, when the scores were added, Tilly received an incredible 34 points and topped the leader board.

Since they were partnered together, Tilly and Nikita have been the centre of media attention as several have questioned their close bond and have suspected that they may fall victim to the infamous Strictly curse.
Fans online have often said the pair look good together and are “well suited”.
But the dancing duo certainly had tongues wagging when Nikita was spotted entering Tilly’s London flat last week.
Despite the rumours circulating about the pair, Tilly previously said she wants to focus on dancing and reminded fans that she is not appearing on Love Island.
The chef’s daughter said: “It’s not Love Island! I’m single and here to focus on dancing.
“Doing Strictly is the most exciting chapter of my life. I’m so grateful for this huge opportunity and Nikita’s been the best of the best as a teacher. He’s strict but we can have a laugh and have fun.”
