Growing up with famous parents has its obvious advantages.

‘Nepo babies’ have been the topic of discussion online over the past few weeks, but while having celebrity parents may help getting a foot in the door for a career in music, film, or TV, it also has its disadvantages.

Holly Ramsay is a social media star who has opened up on her addiction battles in the past and despite her dad being one of the most famous chefs in the world, the 22-year-old has faced hurdles in her life.

Her dad is, of course, Gordon Ramsay and as Holly has revealed her battle with alcoholism, PeopleWorld takes a deeper look at who she is exactly.

With over 300,000 followers on Instagram, Holly undoubtedly fits into the ‘influencer bracket’.

She is known to be close family friends with Romeo and Cruz Beckham - recently shown by a trip to Paris with the pair.

Since the age of four, Holly has appeared on her father’s cooking TV shows and also appeared on her younger sister Matilda’s cooking series ‘Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch’ over five seasons.

Largely due to her fame and social media presence, Holly has also become a model and advertiser for big brands including Daniel Wellington watches.

Last week, Holly bravely opened up about her problems with alcohol in a post on Instagram where she admitted a drinking problem had left her at ‘rock-bottom’.

She posted in celebration of being two years sober and thanked friends and family for their support.

On Instagram, she said: “Today marks two years since I last had alcohol. Two years ago today I hit rock bottom, I was terrified.

“I certainly didn't think I would be where I am today both physically and mentally. I've fought every day since to get where I am today.”

Holly previously revealed she made the decision to go sober despite being aware of the social function alcohol holds for young people in the UK.

In January, the influencer admitted finding sobriety tough at her age - despite feeling better than she had in years.
