‘Strictly Come Dancing’ bosses have reportedly approached Gordon Ramsay’s daughter for a future series.
The TV chef’s 18-year-old daughter Tilly is said to be lined up for an appearance on BBC’s Latin and ballroom competition because of her popularity with younger viewers.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: "Tilly is already popular with younger viewers from her shows on CBBC and bosses think she could bring that audience with her.
"They’ve already seen Joe Sugg, Karim Zeroual and Saffron Barker bring in new fans to the show and they hope she could do the same."
It’s said producers have already discussed the idea with Tilly, with the door open for her to appear "either this year or next".
The source added: "Tilly is keen to be a star in her own right, rather than just being known as Gordon’s daughter, and ‘Strictly’ could be a great way for her to come out of her father’s shadow.
"They’ve spoken to her formally and said she can take part either this year or next. They’ve left the ball in her court."
It’s thought ‘Strictly’ would be a chance for Tilly – who previously hosted ‘Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch’ and appeared alongside her famous father on ‘This Morning’ – to make a name for herself.
The insider said: "Tilly wants to be known as more than just her dad’s eldest daughter.
"’Strictly’ would be the perfect platform to give her a name in her own right and the chance to take home a trophy that Gordon doesn’t have."
As well as Tilly, Gordon and his wife Tana also have 22-year-old Megan, 20-year-old twins Holly and Jack, and 13-month-old son Oscar.
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that bosses have also approached screenwriter Jane Goldman – who is married to Jonathan Ross – about a future series.
A source said: "Jane is one of the names at the top of the list for this year’s show.
"She has told friends she would love to have a whirl on the dancefloor.
"Jane knows Craig Revel Horwood, who’s a judge on the show, and he has encouraged her to give it a whirl."
