Matilda "Tilly" Ramsay is the second youngest of chef Gordon Ramsay's five children, and so far, the 20 year old is the only one to take an interest in cooking (via Parade). She paved her own way in the culinary world when she hosted a TV show called "Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch" on CBCC and published a cookbook for beginners in 2019 called "Matilda & the Ramsay Bunch: Tilly's Kitchen Takeover." In 2021, the teenage cooking prodigy competed on "Celebrity MasterChef Australia," where she came in second place after making a highly technical dessert (via Fox Sports).

She has also made quite the splash on TikTok, where she frequently roasts Gordon, which TikTok loves, and has racked up over 10 million followers. One of her most popular videos, which has over 70 million views, starts with her showing her dad a magic trick using an egg and a water bottle, but she ends up squirting the water bottle in her father's face and cracking the egg on his head. It's all in good fun, and you can tell the pair genuinely enjoys spending time and goofing off together. 

Speaking of, the "Strictly Come Dancing" star recently made a special guest appearance on Season 8, Episode 4 of "MasterChef Junior," which her dad hosts, and one of the contestants was clearly a fan of hers (via YouTube).

12-year-old Freddy decided to flirt with Tilly Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay is very proud of Tilly Ramsay, who is a social media and television personality in her own right. It's therefore not surprising that the "MasterChef Junior" contestants were excited to meet her. One contestant was especially enthusiastic about meeting her and boldly flirted with Tilly in front of her famously protective father. Gordon Ramsay shared the clip of 12-year-old Freddy flirting with Tilly on TikTok with the caption: "Freddy !!! Manners around @tillyramsay please !!! @Food Club FOX have a word will ya ???" In the clip, Freddy asks Tilly what she thinks of American boys and offers her a tour of his hometown: Philadelphia.

Gordon and Tilly both laugh at the comment, and the acclaimed chef tells Freddy that he's going to tell his father because he's there to cook, not flirt. The post has garnered over 5,000 comments at the time of writing, most in support of Freddy going for it. "I mean... Freddie does have game," commented Food Club FOX. Other fans agreed and said "Freddy has his priorities straight," and, "Freddy is smooth with it." Freddy was not sent home after the episode, so we can only guess that his comments didn't make the elder Ramsay too upset (via FOX).
