She has amassed an incredible 9.6 million followers thanks to her slick moves on TikTok – but now Strictly Come Dancing star Tilly Ramsay is taking it a step further by dancing up a storm on the much-loved TV show.
“My TikToks are very different to Strictly, but I’ve taken all I can into the ballroom with me,” laughs the 19-yearold daughter of TV chef Gordon and his wife Tana, as she and pro partner Nikita Kuzmin take a break from training to waltz onto hello!’s exclusive photoshoot.
Between learning their dances, Tilly has been teaching Nikita some of the TikTok dance moves that made her a social media sensation on the video-sharing platform.
“It’s more difficult than it seems! I’ve been struggling much more with TikTok dances than normal dancing, which Tilly has been enjoying,” laughs the 23-year-old Ukrainian dancer and former Let’s Dance Germany pro, who is one of the four new professionals joining Strictly this year.
