Gordon Ramsay has said he is now the 'proudest dad' after his daughter Tilly announced she is following in his culinary footsteps by training to be a chef
Gordon Ramsay has expressed his concerns about possibly making a significant blunder after his daughter Tilly decided to follow in his footsteps.
The renowned chef, who boasts eight Michelin stars, revealed that 23 year old Tilly has embarked on her journey to become a chef by enrolling in culinary school, a decision she made independently.
‌
Despite his vast experience and success in the industry, Gordon admitted to Closer UK that he was troubled by the thought that he might have erred by not offering his expertise to his daughter. He said: "My family is like an army now – but, thankfully, Tilly is the fist one who's interested in cooking. She paid for herself – worked, saved the money, and has gone off to culinary school."
‌
Reflecting on the moment he saw her off, he shared: "I said goodbye and put heron the ferry and I thought: 'F***, why didn't she ask me to teach her? Is that my first major f*** up?' I can't wait to ask that question – but it just goes to show how unspoilt my kids are."
Gordon takes pride in the independence of his children, stating: "They're individually following their own path and aren't dependent on their parents. I think that's a good call," reports Cornwall Live.
The celebrity chef, who owns a stunning £4.4million home in Rock, Cornwall, is a father to six children: Megan, 26, twins Jack and Holly, 25, Tilly, 23, Oscar, six, and one year old Jesse. Speaking of his other offspring, he mentioned Jack's successful entry into the Royal Marine Commandos.
Reflecting on his own childhood, Gordon, who was born in the town of Johnstone, described himself as: "I was energetic, boisterous, and competitive – but not really a handful. I was grateful."
‌
Amid rumours of expanding his brood, Gordon Ramsay has faced personal trials in the past. His wife Tana Ramsay, 50, endured the heartbreak of a miscarriage during her pregnancy with a boy they planned to name Rocky.
Tana opened up about the experience on Loose Women, noting the invaluable support from her husband: "It's such a personal decision when you have a baby and this was 20 years ago."
She shared insights into their family life: "The way that I felt, the way Gordon felt, it was something we decided on together. He wasn't with me when I gave birth to Meg or the twins or Tilly.
"But now we're older and it's quite interesting because I lost a baby in 2016 and Gordon was with me throughout that entire process and there's no way I could have done it without him right there by my side."
Besides his celebrated restaurant empire, Gordon Ramsay also runs a YouTube channel, dishing out culinary wisdom. One of his cooking barometers is simple but telling: "If they can make the perfect scrambled egg, you know they know how to cook properly."
