She’s hoping to follow in her father’s footsteps by becoming a chef, but Gordon Ramsay was no doubt regretting inviting his 12-year-old daughter Matilda to make an appearance on US television after she dropped an embarrassing bombshell about him.
Young Miss Ramsay claims the chef “likes to run around naked” in their house… Oo-er!
The outspoken chef was left red-faced when Matilda revealed his embarrassing habit as she made a cameo appearance on show ‘Masterchef Junior’.
Asked by Gordon’s fellow judges Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich if her dad ever embarrasses her, she said: “Yeah! He loves to run around naked.”
Whoops!
As Gordon – who also has daughter Megan, 16, and twins Jack and Holly, 14, with wife Tana – hung his head, his daughter backtracked and insisted: “I’m kidding.”
The 48-year-old chef tried to get his own back by trying to set Matilda up on a date with 12-year-old contestant Michael, who enthusiastically agreed.
However, his daughter continued to give her dad a roasting, adding that she wouldn’t romance someone of her father’s profession because she thinks he is a“nutter”.
She said: “If you think I’m going to marry a chef, you’ve got another think coming! Why not? Because you’re a nutter.”
Whilst she might not want to marry a chef, Matilda has her own eye on a culinary career and has impressed her dad with her efforts on her new cooking program ‘Tillywood‘.
Gordon previously said: “It was just fascinating watching her, saying, ‘Dad’s food is posh, but my food is real food.’ and showing this to her friends.
“She has all the makings of a great chef. If you had put me in front of a camera at age 12, even then, I would have told you to f**k off.”
Well Matilda, you certainly know how to turn up the heat…just like your ol’ man!
