Television chef Gordon Ramsay has had his own fat-shaming nightmare after his daughter Tilly called out LBC radio host Steve Allen.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 19, spoke out against Allen after he branded her ‘chubby’ on the radio.
In a widely shared Instagram post, Tilly called out Allen for talking publicly about her weight when performing on the BBC dancing show.
She wrote, “Steve please feel free voice your opinions however I draw the line at commenting on my appearance. It’s such a shame that someone is trying to make such a positive experience negative.”
Although Tilly took a stand against the 67-year-old radio host fat-shaming, she might think also think about a fat-shamer closer to home.

Gordon Ramsay, 54, has been accused of fat-shaming contestants on his Hell’s Kitchen TV show, and even fellow British chef, Jamie Oliver.
Whilst filming The Nightly Show on ITV back in 2017, Gordon said to Jamie Oliver, “I’ve called you fat, I’ve criticised your restaurants, called you fat, said you enjoyed prison sex, and called you fat.
“What I said was hurtful, Jamie. I don’t want to make you cry. The last thing I want to do is look at your cute face and think: ‘Blubber, blubber, blubber’.”
On the set of Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon called contestant, Sara Horowitz, a “fat cow” and a “fat-mouthed stupid little b****.”

That’s not the only time on Hell’s Kitchen that Gordon has fat-shamed a contestant. He told Clemenza Caserta that his chef’s whites “look like a tepee” and that they could be used to sail across the Atlantic.
Gordon also called the contestant a, “f****** baby rhino.”
Although Tilly called out the LBC radio host, she may want to take a closer look at her father’s message to the public in future.
The CBBC presenter captioned her post, “Please remember that words can hurt and at the end of the day I am only 19.”

She added, “I won’t tolerate people that think it’s okay to publicly comment and scrutinize anyone’s weight and appearance.”
Gordon has been very supportive of Tilly’s Strictly career. He frequently takes to Instagram to post pictures as a proud Dad.
In his latest post of Tilly and her partner Strictly partner Nikita Kuzmin, Gordon said, “Wishing these 2 all the very best for tonight’s dance, another extraordinary week of training, focused hard working and very professional.”
