Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tilly Ramsay was eliminated after a dance-off against Rhys Stephenson, leaving her dad Gordon Ramsay tearful from the sidelines.
Tilly found herself in the bottom two against Rhys after the pair both failed to win enough of the public vote after Saturday night.
After giving it a good go and both showing improvement in their routines for survival, it was Rhys who was put through by all four judges.
Whilst Tilly gave a heartfelt speech upon her exit, it clearly meant a lot to her famous father, who couldn’t help but get emotional.
Standing next to his wife Tana Ramsay, he could be seen wiping tears from his eyes as she paid tribute to her dance partner Nikita Kutzman.
The pair were proudly sat in the audience for Tilly’s first attempt at her routine which was broadcast on Saturday night.

‘From everyone here to backstage, wardrobe, makeup and camera crew. It’s just been the most extraordinary time. I found out something about myself that I didn’t know I could do, I didn’t know I could dance and have fun like this.
‘So a massive thank you and, obviously, a huge thank you to Nikita who has guided me out of my shell and has just made this the most amazing experience.’
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday night at 6.40pm on BBC One.
