But Gordon has now told Closer magazine: ‘She paid for herself – worked, saved the money, and has gone off to culinary school.

‘I said goodbye and put her on the ferry and I thought, ‘F***, why didn’t she ask me to teach her? Is that my first big major f*** up?’

‘I can’t wait to ask that question – but it just goes to show how unspoilt my kids are. They’re individually following their own path and aren’t dependent on their parents. I think that’s a good call.’

Meanwhile, Gordon pointed out his son Jack has decided to avoid the trappings of fame by joining the Royal Marine Commandos where starting salaries are only £17,549.

Tilly started at the cooking school last autumn.

Sharing a snap of her donning a white chef’s jacket and trying on several pairs of black clogs at the time, Tilly gushed she was ‘so excited for this next chapter’.

She wrote: ‘So I went a different kind of uniform shopping yesterday…. @gordangram took me out to buy my first chef whites as I am off to culinary school this September!! 

‘I am so excited for this next chapter and dad and I had the most exciting day getting all my uniform and equipment. P.s I think this look is kind of a vibe’.
