Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Tilly fuels romance rumours with Strictly partner Nikita as they cuddle up on night out
GORDON Ramsay's daughter Tilly has fuelled romance rumours with Strictly partner Nikita Kuzmin as they put on a cosy display on Tuesday night.
Tilly, 20 and professional dancer Nikita, 24, reunited after two months apart as they enjoyed a dinner date in London.
The pair, who last saw each other at Strictly Come Dancing's Live tour in February, were in good spirits as they dined at swanky restaurant Inamo Asian in Covent Garden.
The duo, who formed a close bond on the BBC show, looked thrilled to be in one another's company.
Tilly could be seen gazing up at Nikita, who walked with his arm around her as they strolled through the capital.
She looked chic in an oversized black star-print jumper with leather leggings and some chunky boots.

Nikita took to Instagram and wrote: "Ok here is a drawing of Tilly made by me, and this is a drawing of me.
"This is my mess and this is Tilly's mess. You can vote who is the better one."
After they failed to paint each other, Nikita admitting: "Our drawings sucked so now this is happening."
Nikita, who is in a relationship with Nicole Wirt, placed fifth with on the nineteenth series of the BBC dance competition last year alongside Tilly.
Throughout their stint on the show, they left fans guessing whether they had the hots for each other because of their electric chemistry on screen, but always insisted they are simply "best friends".
The Sun previously revealed how Tilly had been keen to shut down any claims from the start by meeting Nikita's girlfriend when she visited London.
An insider at the time said: "When Nikita’s girlfriend Nicole came to London she immediately visited him and Tilly. They got on like a house on fire and bonded over Nikita. Nicole also gave them some tips on their dancing.
“It couldn’t have gone better between them. There is a huge amount of trust needed between a couple when one of you is spending hours in the arms of another woman. And Nikita and Nicole have that trust – they’ve been together for five years."
However The Sun revealed earlier this year that the celebrity chef had joined A-list celeb dating app, and she met Nicole in secret.
Meanwhile Nikita and Maisie Smith couldn't keep their hands off each other as they left Strictly tour rehearsals together back in January.
