Strictly: Gordon Ramsay wipes away tears in the audience

Tilly Ramsay, 20, and her professional partner Nikita, 23, performed the Samba which once more left Gordon Ramsay weeping as his daughter suggested he was “embarrassed”. The pair danced a fiery Samba, which Nikita was worried his partner’s father would “not approve” of. 

Tilly and Nikita performed their Samba to the song Levitating by Dua Lipa, earning themselves an overall score of 30. 

Judges Craig Revel Horwood and Cynthia Erivo awarded the pair seven points each, while Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas awarded them more generous eights. 

Speaking to presenter Claudia Winkleman after their performance, Nikita explained he wanted his partner to embody a more spicy persona ‘Chilli Tilly’ to sell the Samba.

Full of praise for the young TV chef, he said: “She brought out a bit of Chilli Tilly. A bit of that sass. And a lot of those hips and shoulders. You did so good!”
