Gordon Ramsay’s daughter is skewering a radio host who body shamed her on the air, claiming she’s been eating too much of her “dad’s cooking.”
On Oct. 20, Matilda Ramsay, often referred to as Tilly, posted a clip of Steve Allen’s mean-spirited comments from the UK program “LBC.”
“Tilly Ramsay is on ‘Celebrity MasterChef Australia,’ is she? Well she can’t blooming well dance, I’m bored with her already,” Steve said, referring to her appearance on “Strictly Come Dancing.” He then added, “She’s a chubby little thing, isn’t she? Have you noticed? Probably her dad’s cooking, I should imagine.”
Tilly, 19, also included a response to the body shaming. While she’s taking the high road overall, the famous chef’s daughter makes it clear that the host went too far.
“I try not to read and listen to comments and negativity however recently being called out on a national radio station by a 67-year-old man is a step too far,” she wrote on Instagram. “Steve please feel free voice your opinions however I draw the line at commenting on my appearance. It’s such a shame that someone is trying to make such a positive experience negative.”
“This isn’t the first and definitely won’t be the last comment made about my appearance and I accept that,” she continued. “But please remember that words can hurt and at the end of the day I am only 19.”
Tilly realizes that people will share their unsolicited opinions about her, but hopes that a lesson can be learned from critiquing people at such impressionable ages.
“I’m so grateful for all the amazing opportunities I have been able to take part in and I understand that being in the public eye obviously comes with it’s own repercussions and I’ve been aware of this from a young age,” she said. “However I won’t tolerate people that think its okay to publicly comment and scrutinise [sic] anyone’s weight and appearance.”
After the post, which she captioned with the hashtag “be kind,” Tilly was flooded with support. Among those backing Tilly was another famous celebrity child, Damian Hurley, son of Elizabeth Hurley.
“What a total wanker. Bloody uncalled for,” Damian commented. “Can’t wait for you to have the last laugh and keep winning. Sending you love.”
