Gordon Ramsay sheds a tear as daughter Tilly wows Strictly judges with 'fantastic' Charleston

Proud dad Gordon Ramsay shed a tear after watching daughter Tilly wow the judges on week 2 of Strictly Come Dancing.

The tough-talking chef was in the audience for Saturday night's show as Tilly and Nikita Kuzmin took to the dancefloor with their Charleston.

They were the last pair to perform but it proved worth the wait as they scored 34 - taking them joint top of this week's leaderboard.

Judge Craig Revel Horwood said: “I really and truly loved that.”

He added: “The energy was fantastic, I think you are fantastic. Brilliant.”

The cameras captured Gordon clapping enthusiastically as Tilly and Nikita took a bow - and shouting "Yes!" as the applause continued.

Last week the dancing duo reduced Tilly's mum Tana to tears with their first impressive performance.

Gordon was unable to make the show but posted a snap of Tilly and partner Nikita, writing: "Wishing these two the very best of luck ahead of tonight’s LIVE dance @tillyramsay @nikita__kuzmin @bbcstrictly. So proud of you Tills, love you from your dance coach extraordinaire Dad".

Saturday’s totals are being combined with the scores from last week and then one couple will be eliminated on Sunday following a public vote.

Television presenter AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington are currently top of the overall leaderboard.
