Emotional Family Celebration

Tilly Ramsay recently revealed that her father Gordon Ramsay’s speech at her sister Holly’s wedding to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty ‘made everybody cry’. The couple married at Bath Abbey on December 27, in a star-studded ceremony that brought together family and celebrity guests. The 24-year-old, who served as maid of honour, described the day as ‘so, so emotional, but incredible to see her and Adam so happy’.

Tilly sat with her father on Christmas Eve as he went through the speech line by line, recalling that no changes were needed and describing it as heartfelt and perfectly judged. The wedding marked a joyous family milestone, with Tilly and her sister Megan serving as maids of honour alongside the groom’s sister.

Building Her Culinary Empire

Beyond her family duties, Tilly Ramsay is carving out an impressive career in her own right. In October 2023, it was announced that Ramsay joined MasterChef Junior as a new judge in its ninth season, alongside her father Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, and Daphne Oz. This role represents a significant milestone in her professional journey.

The budding cook surprised her father Gordon by learning the trade professionally at Ireland’s prestigious Ballymaloe Cookery School. ‘They were so excited,’ Tilly revealed in an exclusive interview. ‘They were shocked because I never mentioned going away and learning like I did’. She also graduated from the University of Nottingham with a degree in psychology, demonstrating her commitment to both academic and culinary pursuits.

Expanding Her Brand

With her Prime Video show Dish It Out and her new tableware range with Royal Doulton, Tilly is making a name for herself free from her father’s shadow. Her entrepreneurial ventures showcase her vibrant personality and passion for food, bringing colour and creativity to dining experiences.

As Tilly continues to balance television appearances, product launches, and family commitments, she represents a new generation of culinary talent. Her recent appearance on This Morning discussing her sister’s wedding and her ongoing projects demonstrate her growing confidence in the public eye, whilst maintaining strong family bonds that clearly matter deeply to the Ramsay clan.
