Gordon Ramsay crying at daughter Tilly’s Strictly exit has moved fans

The celebrity chef could be seen wiping back tears of pride after his daughter's performance on Saturday

Fans have been moved by Gordon Ramsay's emotional reaction to his daughter Tilly's exit from Strictly Come Dancing. Tilly and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin were eliminated from the show over the weekend after scoring 30 in their Samba and finding themselves in the dreaded dance-off, with the judges sending Rhys Stephenson and his partner Nancy Xu through to the quarter-finals at their expense. https://twitter.com/bbcstrictly/status/1465047528030806019 However clearly her dad Gordon couldn't have been prouder of his daughter's efforts and was once again unable to hold back his emotions after her performance.
