Strictly's Tilly Ramsay was seen for the first time since she hit out at LBC's Steve Allen, 67, for calling her a 'chubby little thing'. 

The 19-year-old was pictured arriving at the It Takes Two studios in London on Wednesday alongside her dancer partner Nikita Kuzmin, 23. 

Tilly appeared to be in a good mood following the wave of support from fans after she expressed her shock at having her appearance criticised on national radio.

Tilly put on a defiant display as she walked alongside Nikita in a green hoodie and black sports leggings. 

Refusing to let the cruel insult get her down, the teenage daughter of Gordon Ramsay appeared to be smiling underneath her mask as she chatted to the professional dancer. 

Earlier in the day, the CBBC presenter had taken to Instagram to respond to LBC radio presenter Steve fat-shaming her on his radio show. 

Cruel: On his show, Steve had said: 'I'm bored of her already. She's a chubby little thing isn't she? Have you noticed? Probably her dad's cooking I should imagine' (pictured in 2019)

In the post, Tilly revealed she was 'learning to accept' herself but had still been left 'hurt' by the shocking remarks. 

Alongside the statement she shared a soundbite from Steve's show, in which he read out a comment from a listener alerting him to the fact Tilly was taking part in Celebrity MasterChef Australia. 

Steve - who is on air between 4am and 7am - then remarked: 'Is she? Well, she can't blimming well dance!   

'I'm bored of her already. She's a chubby little thing isn't she. Have you noticed? Probably her dad's cooking I should imagine.'

In response to the remarks, Tilly penned: 'I try not to read and listen to comments and negativity however recently being called out on a national radio station by a 67-year-old man is a step too far. 

Shocking: Tilly said she was deeply hurt that Steve had felt the need to comment on her weight after watching her on Strictly

'Steve please feel free 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.'   

Tilly continued:'This isn't the first and definitely wont' be the last comment made about my appearance and I accept that and I'm learning to accept myself. 

'But please remember that words can hurt. And at the end of the day I am only 19 and I'm so grateful for all the amazing opportunities I have been able to take part in. 

'And I understand that being in the public eye obviously comes with it's own repercussions and I've been aware of this from a young age.
