Holly Ramsay recently expressed her support for her father, Gordon Ramsay, following his speech at her wedding to Adam Peaty, describing the moment as one filled with ‘overwhelming happiness.’

The Olympian, 31, and influencer Holly, 25, exchanged vows at Bath Abbey on December 27. The celebration continued at the luxurious Kin House, even as a family feud led to Adam’s mother, Caroline, being excluded from the guest list.

In the midst of the tension, celebrity chef Gordon, 59, made a remark highlighting that his wife, Tana, would be ‘a good mum to them both.’

According to The Sun, during his father of the bride speech, Gordon praised Holly’s beauty and called Adam a ‘lucky man,’ humorously adding, ‘Look at Tana, and that’s what you have to look forward to.’

The report further mentions that Gordon seized the opportunity to make a subtle jab at Adam’s absent family, telling Holly, ‘Shame you don’t have the same.’

In a new interview with British Vogue, Holly shared a photo of herself and Adam smiling and laughing during Gordon’s speech.

Gordon Ramsayreportedly made a brutal dig at his new son-in-law Adam Peaty’s parents in the speech at his daughter Holly’s wedding to the swimmer on Saturday

The photo was captioned: ‘Listening to dad’s speech, looking around the room and feeling overwhelmed with the love and the happiness on our guests’ faces.’

In a jibe at the estranged Peaty family, Holly revealed that her parents paid for her and Adam’s luxurious Honeymoon to Mauritius, saying it was their ‘wedding present’. 

She said: ‘We’re going to Mauritius to just lie by the sea – that was our wedding present from my parents. I had to tell Adam we weren’t basing our honeymoon around a 25-metre pool…’

Holly shared numerous snaps of the wedding with the fashion publication, including a rather awkward one of Holly and Adam posing with her parents and David and Victoria Beckham.

With Adam’s parents not in attendance at the wedding, they stood alongside the groom in the photo with Gordon and Tana alongside Holly.  

Adam is thought to have not mentioned his family or parents in his speech, instead praising his swim coach Mel Marshall for being his ‘everything’, and for ‘grounding and inspiring’ him. 

Holly divulged several details about the wedding, revealing she and Adam had their first dance to George Michael’s A Different Corner, saying they had the song picked when they first began dating.

She also described her father-daughter dance with Gordon as ‘so special’.

Unsurprisingly, chef Gordon was heavily involved in the food served on the big day and worked with the team at London’s Savoy Grill to design the menu. 

It was an emotional day for Gordon, with Holly the first of his and Tana’s six children to tie the knot. Holly admitted he often welled up with tears whenever she spoke to him about the wedding in the weeks prior to the ceremony.  

The day after the nuptials, Holly and Adam hosted an ‘intimate’ brunch for their bridal and groom parties. 

Holly swept into her wedding in Bath Abbey on the arm of her celebrity chef father, but kept her lace gown concealed beneath a billowing hooded ivory cloak. 

Sitting at home more than 130 miles away in Staffordshire, Adam’s broken–hearted mother Caroline was said to be ‘beside herself’ with grief at missing what should have been one of the happiest days of her life. 

Speaking from the council house where Adam grew up, the 59–year–old told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I’m not going to be hurt like this again’.

She had told Daily Mail that she felt as if Holly and Adam ‘have cut my heart out’.

This newspaper can also reveal that, moments before he walked into the abbey clutching the hand of his five–year–old son George, Adam was sent a devastating text message by his aunt Louise, who was also not invited to the wedding.

In it, she wrote: ‘I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still. Shame on you both. Shame.

‘Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.’

The roots of this terrible family conflict go back to September 2024, when Adam and Holly snubbed wider members of the Peaty family by not inviting them to their engagement party.

Caroline, who spent years ferrying her son to early–morning training sessions, was also not invited to Holly’s glamorous hen do at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds last month, even though the bride’s mother, Tana Ramsay, and friends including Victoria Beckham, were at the extravagant bash.

Despite everything Caroline sent a card and gift to her newlywed son for his 31st birthday today.

Meanwhile, Adam’s 73–year–old great–aunt Janet, who was also left out of the wedding, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I just feel so sorry for Caroline.

‘I can’t believe he’s done this to his mother who’s done so much for him from an early age. To be treated like this is not kind.’

Despite being shunned, devastated Caroline had threatened to turn up at the wedding anyway – and, if barred from entering the abbey, stand outside and watch from the street.

She said that she changed her mind after her husband Mark convinced her it would be ‘too upsetting’ to go along.

Had she defied her son’s ban, she would have found herself face–to–face with five security guards, placed in front of the abbey’s ancient and elaborately carved wooden doors, which were framed by decorative columns of white roses and hydrangeas.

The Peaty family were all uninvited from the nuptials, aside from Adam’s sister Beth who was a bridesmaid.

According to reports, Adam’s father Mark was the only person beside Beth asked to attend their big day, however he was told he’d have to sit at the back ‘behind the plus ones’.
