Gordon Ramsay’s kids forging ‘Beckham-style empire’ thanks to A-list fans, Strictly & toddler with 325k Insta followers
WITH their famous surname, the five Ramsay children have the world at their feet.
And now one branding expert reckons TV chef Gordon Ramsay's kids could earn "millions" as a Beckham-style dynasty.
This week, Holly posted a stunning picture of herself in a bikini from the family's holiday in the Maldives - and earned praise from A'listers Khloe Kardashian and Liz Hurley's son, Damian.
And of course, Tilly recently wowed us all with her graceful moves on Strictly.
But they're not the only Ramsays heading for a stellar career.
Popular culture expert Nick Ede says:"The Ramsay family are certainly going in the same direction as the Beckhams and the Kardashians.

"They are in the perfect position to poise themselves for fame and fortune.
"The Ramsay name is world famous and synonymous with personality, class and perfection. Like David Beckham, Gordon is at the top of his field - he is the Beckham of food.
"It's a blueprint that has all the hallmarks of creating a dynasty of epic proportions."
And like the Beckhams, Gordon and wife Tana, who is also a successful cook, can guide their kids around the pitfalls of fame and celebrity.
Nick says: "The siblings could be worth millions in the next few years and if they keep on with their family name and following in their parents footsteps they will be the ones to watch in 2022."
Here we take a look at how Brand Ramsay is already cooking up a storm.
Campaigning model with hit podcast
To most of us, seeing Khloe Kardashian comment on Holly Ramsay's Instagram was a little unexpected, to say the least.
Showing off her slender figure in a leopard print bikini, in front of tropical greenery in The Maldives, Holly, 22, did indeed look sensational.
So much so, that Khloe, 37, wrote: "Stunning," adding in four heart eye emojis.
Liz Hurley's son, Damian, added simply "Yooo" followed by hot face emojis.
But with dad Gordon's , thanks to his long running show Hell's Kitchen USA and his eight restaurants over there, perhaps it's not so surprising that Holly is on the radar of some of the country's biggest stars.
Holly, a fashion design student and model, splits her time between the US and Britain.
Like her siblings, she has often been pictured on the red carpet on their way to glitzy showbiz events with her parents.
She was the Hell's Kitchen host's plus-one at Elton John's very exclusive in 2017 and is a close friend of Brooklyn Beckham.
Holly's life hasn't been all silver spoons and lavish holidays though.
In May, she revealed she spent three months in a mental health hospital after being sexually assaulted twice when she was 18 years old. She was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression.

She decided to quit booze after reaching her "lowest point" and recently celebrated one year of sobriety.
In an honest post, she wrote: "Living without alcohol has helped me feel better and more present both mentally and physically."
In response, Gordon replied: "What an incredible young lady. Words can't explain how proud you make me feel."
Holly presents the podcast, 21 and Over, about mental health in which she discusses her own journey with guests.
Nick, founder of East of Eden PR agency, said: "Holly has the opportunity of really becoming a strong role model for young people who have issues with their mental health and alcoholism.
"I can see her commanding hundreds of thousands as a brand ambassador and also driving mental health advocacy in a really positive way."
From kids cooking show to Strictly star
Of all the Ramsay brood, it's Tilly who looks most likely to follow in her parents' showbiz footsteps.
Before last autumn, she was only known by the younger audience for her CBBC cooking show, Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch.
It ran from 2015 to 2019, earning BAFTA children's award nominations along the way.
Now of course, Tilly, 19, is a household name, thanks to her dazzling appearance on Strictly last year.
Her Insta followers have rocketed to a whopping 1.2m followers.
She has also long been active on TikTok and often delights fans with hilarious skits with dad, Gordon.
Tilly may not have taken the glitterball trophy with her professional partner, Nikita Kuzmin, but she has waltzed her way into our hearts.
When radio host Steve Allen called her a "chubby little thing," she hit back with dignity and determination.
She said: "Steve, please feel free (to) 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."
Anyone who thought she was just where she was because of nepotism could see Tilly has genuine family appeal and a great TV persona

Tilly balanced Strictly with starting university, following in Megan's footsteps by studying psychology.
But with such a high profile, Nick says now is the time to capitalise.
Nick says: "Currently Tilly has the potential to become a real high earner due to her exposure on Strictly and her cooking show.
"She has proven to be a great dancer.
"Anyone who thought she was just where she was because of nepotism could see Tilly has genuine family appeal and a great TV persona.
"I can see her doing big brand partnerships with food companies and supermarkets and also carrying on the dancing, whether that’s on the Strictly tour or performing in theatrical environments."
Graduate with a huge social media following
Megan is comfortable accompanying the family to red carpet events and has amassed 224,000 followers on Instagram, which is filled with pictures of her jet-setting life.
There are snaps of her poolside and on the beach in all manner of glamorous locations, alongside cute, cuddly family photos and one of her in a gown and mortarboard from her graduation from Oxford Brookes university in 2019.
According to the student newspaper, The Tab, Megan studied psychology.
Last year, she featured in Hell's Kitchen USA, filmed celebrating her 21st birthday one of the failing restaurants her no-nonsense father scrutinises.
Megan seems to have less interest in being in front of the camera than Holly and Tilly, and works as an account executive at PR agency Freuds.
But Nick said she could be snapped up by a fashion brand.
He says: "Megan is a very beautiful and fun girl who has a really active social media following.
"I can see a fashion brand picking her up and using her as a brand ambassador due to the strong engagement and also famous followers."
Military man with famous friends
With his thick blonde hair and solid jawline, Jack, 22, is practically Gordon's double.
But Jack has taken a very different path to his dad, and to his twin, Holly, by signing up as a Royal Marine.
Gordon announced the surprise news in October 2020, posting pictures from Jack's passing out ceremony.
The Bank Balance gameshow host wrote: "Can't tell you enough how proud I am of this young man."
Jack was congratulated by the Beckham clan, who have long been pals with the Ramsays.
He is best pals with their eldest son, Brooklyn, and the pair have been spotted hitting the gym together in Los Angeles.
Unusually for the high-profile clan, Jack doesn't seem to be on Instagram. But while his focus is on the military for now, Nick reckons he could still seek out showbiz opportunities in the future.
Nick says: ";Jack has a keen love of food but also of exercise.
"I wouldn’t put it past him to star as a trainer on an SAS-style show if he decides to leave the Marines in the future."
Toddler with influence
He might be just two years old but the youngest Ramsay is proving to be a big hit.
Now their other kids are fully grown, Gordon and Tana have delighted in having a baby again - although the celebrity chef, 55, has fumed that people often assume he is the lad's grandad.
He told : "If I get called “grandad” one more f***ing time, I’m going to hit the roof."
Before Oscar came along, Gordon and Tana experienced a devastating miscarriage, when they lost a baby boy five months into the pregnancy.
Little Oscar already has his own Instagram, managed by his older sisters, and he's amassed a whopping 325,000 followers.
Whether he's grimacing during his first haircut or smeared with food in his high chair, Oscar's becoming quite the mini influencer.
With his gorgeous blonde locks and adorable style, surely kids clothing companies would love to have a little Ramsay on board?
Nick says: "With that amount of followers and a real insight into the family life of the Ramsays, Gordon and Tana could monetise Oscar from now on with collaborations with childrenswear brands and much more."
