Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly is celebrating one year of sobriety with her thousands of Instagram followers, opening up about her battle with alcohol in a candid post. 

The daughter of the Michelin star chef spoke openly about her personal battle with liquor saying that she made the decision to go tee-total after reaching her ‘lowest point’ last year.

The fashion design student and podcast host also explained that alcohol and antidepressants 'do not mix well at all. She opened her post by saying: 'Today marks one year without alcohol. 'This is not something I thought I would ever say at the age of 21. However, by 21 (nearly 22) I never thought I would've been through half of what I have'.

'I choose to take a break from alcohol because it wasn't improving my mental health - which for me, comes first”.

She concluded the  message by saying: 'As with everything I have been through, it has been a learning experience and I feel lucky to be able to post this message today, to continue to spread awareness and break the stigma surrounding mental health.'

 Holly is the second eldest of Gordon and Tana Ramsay's five children.
