Gordon Ramsay may dominate the culinary world with Michelin stars and international fame, but during a recent appearance on This Morning, it wasn’t his award-winning dishes that stole the spotlight—it was a hilarious revelation from his daughter, Tilly Ramsay. In a moment that left both presenters and viewers in stitches, Gordon was caught off guard when Tilly casually mentioned she had been nominated for not one, but two BAFTA awards.
Visibly stunned, Gordon joked, “She’s got two BAFTAs?! I’ve got none! I’m actually upset!” His over-the-top reaction was classic Ramsay—fiery, funny, and full of affection. What started as a lighthearted cooking demonstration quickly turned into a playful, unscripted peek into the Ramsay family dynamic, with Tilly firmly holding her own next to her famously outspoken father.
Tilly, who first charmed audiences as a teenager on Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch, earned the BAFTA nominations for her fun and educational children’s cooking show, which gave viewers a unique look into life inside the Ramsay household. Though she didn’t win either time, the recognition placed her squarely on the UK’s radar as a rising media personality with her own identity—independent of her father’s fame.
What really had fans laughing, though, was how Gordon had no idea about the nominations until recently. “I didn’t even know until last week!” he admitted. “She just drops it in like it’s no big deal. Meanwhile, I’m out here working my socks off trying to win something that isn’t a golden spatula.” His feigned jealousy was all in good fun, but also reflected a genuine sense of pride in his daughter’s accomplishments.
Tilly, on the other hand, took it all in stride, flashing a grin and replying, “You’ve got the stars, Dad. I’ve got the nominations. Fair trade, I think!” Their easy, teasing back-and-forth charmed audiences, proving once again why they’re one of the UK’s favorite celebrity father-daughter duos.
The rest of the segment continued to build on that energy, as the Ramsays shared not just their favorite holiday recipes but also some unexpected secrets about life behind the scenes at home. Tilly revealed that despite his global reputation as a master chef, her dad often causes a bit of chaos in the kitchen. “People think our kitchen at home is like a five-star restaurant,” she said, laughing. “But really, it’s mostly Dad yelling at the toaster and burning the bacon.”
Gordon didn’t deny it. “I’ll admit it—I’ve set off the smoke alarm more times than I’d like to count. But come on, it’s bacon! It’s a delicate art.” He added that despite his professional precision, at home the rules are a bit more relaxed—and chaotic.
They even shared some Ramsay family traditions, like Sunday pancake flipping contests (Tilly usually wins), mystery ingredient nights, and their hilariously named family group chat, “Food Fight Club.” These little details offered fans a rare and relatable glimpse into what life is really like in the Ramsay household—a blend of love, laughter, and lots of flour on the countertops.
Another highlight came when Gordon opened up about how proud he is of Tilly—not just for her success, but for the grounded, hard-working person she’s become. “She’s got this natural charm on camera, and she works so hard,” he said. “She’s not trying to be anyone else. She’s just Tilly. And that’s what makes her brilliant.” Tilly smiled but didn’t miss a beat, joking, “You’ll say anything nice as long as I don’t tell people about the time you exploded soup all over the ceiling.”
Their chemistry was undeniable. For all his public image as a tough-talking chef, Gordon clearly has a soft spot when it comes to his daughter. And Tilly, for all her rising fame and BAFTA nods, remains refreshingly down-to-earth, with a sharp wit and an even sharper pancake flip.
