Early life and career[edit]

2010–present[edit]

Before Ramsay started presenting Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch on CBBC, she made several appearances on her father's TV shows MasterChef Junior and Hell's Kitchen from 2010 to 2015.

In 2013, she appeared alongside her father on Gordon Ramsay's Home Cooking to teach home cooking. Her mother, Tana, also would appear on occasion.

In 2015, it was announced that Ramsay would host her own cooking and entertainment show on CBBC. Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch, which is aimed at the younger audience, stars all the members of the Ramsay family as they go on their summer holidays. The first series was aired on 14 April 2015, with the second series airing 6 May 2016 and the third series airing on 5 May 2017. Each series is made up of 15 episodes.

Ramsay was raised in London, but divides her time between South West London and Los Angeles for her father's television career. She has been a keen cook from a young age.

Her sister, Megan Ramsay, ran the London Marathon in 2017 in memory of their baby brother Rocky, after her mother suffered a miscarriage five months into her pregnancy in June 2016.[2]

It was announced in June 2017 that Ramsay's CBBC show Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch had been renewed for a fourth series to air in 2018. The fourth series began on 24 April 2018.[3][4]

In September 2018, Ramsay, alongside her father, appeared on the ITV show This Morning in a series of cooking segments titled "Big Chef Little Chef" involving the Ramsays cooking meals and trying to help children get into cooking.

Ramsay made an appearance on season 18 of Hell's Kitchen as a special guest in the eighth episode, where the dinner service was centred around her Sweet 16 birthday party.[5]

Ramsay lends her voice to the All3Media-owned company One Potato Two Potato, originally a joint venture between Optomen and her father, where she says the company name in a singalong style.

In 2021, Ramsay competed in the nineteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing and was partnered with professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin. On 28 November 2021, she became the ninth celebrity to be eliminated from the competition.[6]

On 12 October 2023, it was announced that Ramsay will join MasterChef Junior as a new judge in its ninth season, alongside returning judges Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, and Daphne Oz.[7]
