DJ Steve Allen was condemned this week for calling Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tilly Ramsay ‘a chubby little thing’.

His comment about the 19-year-old CBBC presenter led to calls for his resignation from LBC, where he has worked for 42 years, amid accusations of ‘fat-shaming’.

Responding on Instagram, Tilly wrote: ‘I won’t tolerate people that think it’s OK to publicly scrutinise anyone’s weight.’

Embarrassingly though, the teenager has a fat-shamer close to home.

Her celebrity chef father Gordon is particularly fond of using the F-word himself – and that’s ‘F’ for ‘fat’.

From insulting professional rivals such as Jamie Oliver to contestants on his TV shows – and even a female presenter – Ramsay is no stranger to commenting on someone else’s weight.

THE AUSSIE TV HOST WHO IS 'A PIG' 

In 2009 Ramsay made the mistake of aiming misogynistic insults at Australian television host Tracy Grimshaw.

Speaking at the Melbourne Good Food and Wine show, he showed a doctored picture of a naked woman, with multiple breasts and a pig’s face, announcing that it depicted Miss Grimshaw, who had interviewed him the previous night.

‘That’s Tracy Grimshaw,’ he said. ‘I had an interview with her yesterday, holy crap. She needs to see Simon Cowell’s Botox doctor.’

Both the prime minister and deputy prime minister of Australia criticised him. Ramsay then appeared on TV to make a long apology, saying: ‘It was never a personal attack. It was done in a jokey fashion. I had my mum phone up this morning, she was disgusted. If someone had called my wife a pig I would have punched their lights out.’

THE ‘FAT COW’ RESTAURANT

In 2012 Ramsay opened a restaurant in LA called The Fat Cow. His PR team rather unconvincingly tried to deny that it was an insult, saying: ‘The cow is something we eat all the time, but don’t appreciate, so the title of the restaurant is just a nod to that.’

Only a few months earlier, Ramsay had called Hell’s Kitchen contestant Sara Horowitz a ‘fat cow’ on camera. He also called her a ‘fat-mouthed stupid little b****’.
