EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana is going to launch a TV career of her own

Gordon Ramsay has enjoyed a high-profile TV career on both sides of the Atlantic for almost a quarter of a century. But now his wife, Tana, is attempting to launch a television career of her own.

I can reveal that the mum-of-five has offloaded the Battersea beauty salon she’s owned and run for 12 years, and is now set to turn her attentions to becoming a star of the small screen.

‘Tana has sold the salon and will be spending the last few precious months with [son] Oscar before he goes to school.

‘She is also in development with [husband Gordon’s TV production company] Studio Ramsay Global on some exciting projects, and in conversation with ITV. It’s time for some new adventures,’ a spokesperson for the 48-year-old tells me.

Former teacher Tana sold All About The Girl, a previous salon of the year award winner, to nail-care brand Townhouse.

She shares children, Megan, 24, twins, Holly and Jack, 23, Tilly, 21, as well as Oscar, four, with the 56-year-old chef.

Like her father, Tilly, too has a penchant for the limelight. She presented CBBC cooking show Matilda and The Ramsay Bunch, and competed in the 2021 series of Strictly, when she and dance partner Nikita Kuzmin were voted off in week 10.

With Tana set to follow her husband and youngest daughter into the TV industry, could a family-style reality show be on the cards? They certainly have plenty of A-lister friends to potentially throw into the mix.

Balmoral goes off its trolley

The name alone is enough to inspire images of 50,000 blemish-free Aberdeenshire acres — not of rusting shopping trolleys and discarded takeaway containers.

Regrettably, however, the royal estate of Balmoral is no longer spared those twin horrors.

But next Wednesday the fightback begins at a public meeting at Balmoral’s Loch Muick, organised by North East Partnership Against Rural Crime, to promote ‘responsible behaviour while camping’.

Key tip: Leave trolleys in the supermarket. It’s less of a strain than pushing them up hills and through the heather.

Anna Friel dressing up as a superhero to celebrate her parents’ 50th wedding anniversary

How do you celebrate your parents’ 50th wedding anniversary? Traditionally, it’s giving a gift made of gold, but if you’re Anna Friel then dressing up as a superhero for the day is de rigueur.

The 46-year-old actress appeared in a shiny blue leotard and red cape looking somewhere between Wonder Woman and Supergirl.

‘Someone’s going to a fancy dress gathering,’ says Anna, whose parents Desmond and Julie are both retired teachers. ‘It’s in honour of my parents’ visit before they head off to Australia to celebrate.’ That’s a Super Daughter.

Georgia’s pups pose like Jagger

Georgia May Jagger is no stranger to the camera — and it would appear her dogs have developed a similar ability to pose pawfectly for pictures

Having been modelling for the past 15 years, Georgia May Jagger is no stranger to the camera — and it would appear her dogs have developed a similar ability to pose pawfectly for pictures. 

Dr Pepper, Gizmo and Edith joined the 31-year-old daughter of Sir Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall for a photoshoot in the bath, with one of the pooches even mirroring Georgia May sticking her tongue out. 

Her three mutts have previously featured in official shoots with Georgia May, who, formerly based in New York, moved back to the UK in 2021 

So does Laurence have King over a barrel?

Presenter Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, best known for BBC’s Changing Rooms, reckons it’s high time he was given an honour — and hopes his double-barrelled moniker might help.

‘I’m sure King Charles is really bored of having to knight people without full names,’ the 58-year-old tells me at a party in London’s West End.

‘So I think Sir Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. Duke might work, but I’ll certainly settle with Sir. Lord Llewelyn-Bowen? I’m not sure about that — too many L’s.’

Flo brings wokery to book

With the works of Roald Dahl being controversially reworked to remove supposedly offensive language, children’s TV legend and author Floella Benjamin refuses to have her own work turned woke by adults.

Instead, the 73-year-old Baroness suggests we should seek the opinion of the readers themselves.

‘I think we should ask children how they feel, because the children, who are reading the books now, are living through those words,’ she tells me at a drinks reception at the Houses of Parliament.

‘I won’t make a judgment on my own work because I’m not a child reading those books. What you would say 50 years ago or five years ago is not what you would necessarily say now, because its children who are reading it and are being affected by it.

‘Find out from children — once you can put yourself in the place of that child you’ll know what to do.’ Hear, Hear!

Dame Vivienne Westwood’s legacy lives on — in the unusual first name of her grandson, Bamboo. ‘It was my mum’s idea — she chose it,’ her son, photographer turned fashion designer Ben, 60, tells me at a party in South London.

‘Bamboo is the English word for the Japanese plant. Bamboo is very strong and useful.’

So is stainless steel, but I wouldn’t want to name my child after it.

Human rights activist Peter Tatchell has taken aim at the hypocrisy shown by the likes of David Beckham and Beyonce for happily taking Qatari and Dubai dollars.

‘David Beckham was doing PR for a very odious, homophobic and sexist regime. He doesn’t need the money but he chose to do PR for a human rights-abusing regime,’ says the 71-year-old.

As for the former Destiny’s Child frontwoman, Tatchell says: ‘Beyonce has done magnificent work about the history of black slavery in the U.S., making people aware of slave history and the suffering it caused.

‘Yet she went to Dubai where they have a form of modern slavery — where Asian workers are hired under a system of labour which basically makes them prisoners of their employers.’
