Tana Ramsay is voted Mum Of The Year

Gordon Ramsay's wife Tana was named as Celebrity Mum Of The Year yesterday by Tesco Magazine and said she was following her own mother's approach to parenting.

The 35-year-old beat off stiff competition like newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky, Emmerdale actress Linda Lusardi and EastEnders faces Patsy Palmer, Jo Joyner, Jessie Wallace and Lucy Benjamin.

Speaking about what makes a good parent, Tana said having 'the patience of a saint' and 'being there as a friend' was vital.

A mother of four, Tana described family life as 'a big learning curve'.

'It's important to stay close to them, but that gets tricky when they get older and they get secretive and into their teenage years,' she said.

'You talk to them and listen to them. As they get older that's the thing I'm learning all the time is just listening. Some problems you might not think are a big deal are massive for them.'

By winning the title of Celeb Mum Of The Year, Mrs Ramsay, mum to Megan, 11, twins Jack and Holly, 10, and Matilda, eight, is following in the footsteps of previous winners Katie Price and Kerry Katona.

Congratulations! Who would you have voted for?
