The 19-year-old chef, the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, is known for throwing some serious shapes on her TikTok alongside her famous father - but she is looking forward to showing him "how it's really done" on the Latin and ballroom programme.

She said: "I’m so excited and grateful to be joining the 'Strictly' family!

"I’m always up for fun new challenges and this will be my biggest adventure yet!

"I’m going to put my heart and soul into this and can’t wait to get my dancing shoes on and show my dad how it’s really done!

"Bring on the glitz, glamour and sequins."

Tilly - who has more than 9.5 million followers on TikTok - was unveiled as a contestant on the show on today's (11.08.21) 'This Morning', and Gordon is hoping she doesn't date any of the 'Strictly' pro dancers.

Speaking on the brunch-time show via video link, alongside his wife Tana Ramsay, Gordon said:

"We're proud of, girl. Love you.

"But don't date those dancers!"

Tana added: "She's leaving you far behind in the dance stakes.

"Thank goodness it's her and not you.

"Tilly - you're incredibly brave.

"I'm terrified, but so excited, for you."

Tilly believes her dad Gordon secretly wants to take part in 'Strictly', but he would be "too scared" to go through with it.

She said: "I think he does, but I think he'd be too scared to.

"Trust me when I say he's not the best dancer. Sorry, dad!"

Katie McGlynn, Dan Walker, Sara Davies, Tom Fletcher, Robert Webb, AJ Odudu, Rhys Stephenson, and former 'Great British Bake Off' winner John Whaite - who will make history by being part of the show's first-ever all-male partnership - were recently confirmed for this year's 'Strictly'.
