Elsewhere in the episode, the chef probed whether his daughter has a boyfriend, with Tilly eventually confessing that she is in a relationship – as her dad jumped for joy and exclaimed ‘finally’.

It comes after reports of Tilly growing close to her former Strictly partner Nikita, with the pair sharing a close bond since appearing on the show together.

Tilly and Nikita formed a close bond during the show, and set tongues wagging last year when they were seen leaving his flat together.

The pair have reunited many times since, but insisted they were just close friends – with Tilly reportedly seeing the dancer as a ‘big brother’ figure.
