Tilly Ramsay takes fans behind scenes of Strictly tour as she makes 'memories for life'

Tilly Ramsay has been taking fans behind the scenes of the Strictly Come Dancing tour - and she's clearly had the time of her life.

After five weeks on the road with the cast of the BBC show's 2021 series, Tilly - daughter of chef Gordon Ramsay - says she's made memories that will last forever.

The 20-year-old took to Instagram to express her gratitude at being a part of the competition and its subsequent UK live tour.

One snap she shared showed her surrounded by some of her fellow celebrity contestants and the show's professional dancers.

Squeezed together into the frame, Tilly beamed a big smile alongside the likes of her pro partner Nikita Kuzmin, Giovanni Pernice, Aljaz Skorjanec, and Katya Jones, as well as contestants Maisie Smith and John Whaite, among many others.

Tilly looked sensational in a sparkly silver dress in another snap as she posed with Nikita in front of a glitter wall, and in another, the pair and some other pros were dressed in school uniforms for their routine from Matilda the musical.

Tilly and The Wanted's Max George embraced in one cute picture and Tilly and some of the other ladies on the tour smiled alongside judge Shirley Ballas in another.

One heartwarming picture showed Tilly and a number of her fellow stars sitting around the table after tucking into a meal together and others showed the gang out and about during some downtime from performing.

Tilly captioned her post: "No words can describe how incredible these past 5 weeks have been!!

"So grateful for all the amazing, kind and talented people that I got to be with. I’ve made memories and friends for life and have had the best time ever"

"Love you Tilly," Bake Off's John told her in the comments.

Tilly was a huge hit on the show last year, and often reduced her famous dad Gordon to tears as he sat in the audience to watch her perform.

She was eliminated in week 10 of the contest and was sadly forced to miss returning for a group dance in the final after testing positive for Covid.

She wrote at the time on social media: "So sad to be missing the Strictly final - but sadly have tested positive for COVID so will be watching from my sofa and cheering on the amazing finalists from home on Saturday night - wishing everyone lots of love & good luck".
