The couple, who married in 1996, kept Tana’s last pregnancy a secret.

Gordon shared the announcement on Instagram, saying the birth was a “great birthday present” as his birthday falls on November 8 – which he actually shares with Tilly.
He wrote: ‘What a great birthday present, please welcome Jesse James Ramsay, 7 lb stunner!! Another bundle of love for the Ramsay Brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls…. Finished.’
Tilly’s sister Holly also shared an adorable video of herself holding Jesse, writing: ‘Welcome to the world Jesse James. I’m a big sister again and my heart is so full.

In September, Gordon admitted he was under pressure from Tana to have a sixth child, but said he was against the idea, dismissing any suspicions that they were expecting another child.
Speaking to Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on the Dish podcast, Gordon confessed: ‘I have a little secret… Tana wants another one.’

But he admitted he is reluctant to have another baby because the family would need “two buses” and he would be older than the other parents at the school.
He said: ‘It’s like going to school and eating out on two buses. And secondly, I’m going to be the oldest f***er in school. “Who’s your grandpa?”
‘And what about sports day? The egg and spoon race. What am I going to do? So I would like another one, but no.”
Gordon also told how his youngest child, Oscar, is quickly following in his father’s footsteps after complaining about the food at his school during his first week.
He said: ‘He wouldn’t wear his blazer. He said, “Daddy, it itches too much.” And he said ‘the food is s***’.
“I said, son, BYO. He said, ‘What does that mean?’ I said, ‘Bring your damn own.’ So he has his own lunch box, everything is prepared, he has his finger sandwiches.”
Despite not being willing to grow his brood, Gordon admitted that his fathering skills have improved with each child.
He explained, “Everything you did wrong the first time, you do so much better. He grows up with so many buttons. He’s like a little adult when he’s four because he has four big brothers and sisters that he obeys.”

During the coronavirus pandemic, Gordon admitted that Tana was keen to expand their family and took the opportunity of lockdown to give it a go.
Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, he said: ‘Literally two hours ago our Prime Minister announced that we are now in lockdown until February 15th.
“So (Tana) said we have good news. You’re up late talking to Jimmy. Tomorrow night we’ll go for number six!’
Tana also previously admitted that she wants more children in 2021, telling Hello! magazine: ‘You know, the problem is that I love babies so much, but I think I’ll still be saying that when I’m in my seventies!’
However, she added: ‘I don’t think there will ever be a time when I’ll say, “Oh my god, never, ever again.”
“But let’s just say I count my blessings and think I’m extremely lucky. I’m just loving every moment of this.”
