Adam Peaty is set to marry Holly Ramsay, who is TV chef Gordon’s daughter, but his mother Caroline, a former nursery manager, has not been invited to the wedding

Adam Peaty’s family have been defended as “a normal hard-working bunch” in the bitter row surrounding his fiancée’s decision to snub his mother.

Sources have described those backing Holly Ramsay — such as her fans — as “unedifying” for taking aim at Adam’s family. It was brazenly suggested Holly, a 25-year-old model, had banned Caroline, 59, from her hen do because she “might have stuck out a bit”.

Now insiders close to Team Adam claim the group are just a “normal, ordinary” family who haven’t the influence or media access the Ramsay clan has. One source said: “It all seems rather unedifying for Team Ramsay to come out and throw around accusations about a normal, ordinary family like the Peatys. They (Ramsays) are able to look after themselves — they get the media, the fame game and have the staff in place to deal with these kinds of public feuds.

“The Peatys don’t. They are a normal hard-working bunch who have suddenly found themselves up against one of Britain’s richest and most influential families. It is all very sad, and there are two sides to every story. But you have to wonder if it’s a straight up-and-down case of Holly and Adam ditching his family.”

Caroline, a former nursery manager from the market town of Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, had initially been invited to the wedding, it is thought. However, it is believed the row started when Caroline purchased a dress for the big day — only to be told Holly and Adam didn’t approve of it. They allegedly offered to buy her another outfit to wear that they would choose.

They planned a trip to Bath to find the new dress, but that fell apart after a recent knife attack in Cambridgeshire caused train cancellations, leaving Caroline and her husband Mark unable to travel.

Caroline was then not invited to the hen do, a lavish ceremony in Oxfordshire, and instead babysat her grandchild — from Adam’s previous relationship — at home. This — and the wedding snub — appears to have caused anger among those close to mum-of-four Caroline.

Yesterday, Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, took aim at her in-laws, writing on social media: “The difference between me and a lot of people is that I’m not afraid to be disliked. I don’t give a f*** who you are supposed to be, think you are or who are you are connected to.”

The public outpouring of grief for the Paranoid hitmaker has been “so helpful” to the Osbourne family, but Sharon admitted she doesn’t think Ozzy would have realised how much he meant to people.

On the latest podcast episode they played a voice note from Donald Trump in which he said: “Hi, Sharon – it’s Donald Trump, and I just wanted to wish you the best and the family,” the president said. “Ozzy was amazing – he was an amazing guy.

“I met him a few times and I wanna tell you he was unique in every way and talented.” The president wrapped up in saying, “So I just wanted to wish you the best and it’s a tough thing, I know how close you were, and whatever I can do – take care of yourself, say hello to the family – thanks, bye.”

Sharon said: “The thing is all I know is he has treated me with respect, your father with respect. He wanted nothing from us – nothing. Melania, the same, nothing.”

Jack chimed in saying Trump’s personal touch in comforting the grieving family in their time of need, he said: “Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail.”

Zayn Malik left One Direction in March 2015 after a five-year stint, during which the band — a product of The X Factor — topped the UK singles charts with four songs

Zayn Malik has again been named a director in One Direction’s company PPM Music Limited — reuniting him with the group after more than 10 years.

The singer quit One Direction in March 2015 around five years after they were formed through The X Factor. During that time, the group topped the UK singles charts with four songs and won four Brit awards, including British Single of the Year for What Makes You Beautiful in 2012.

He then had his role as director of PPM Music Limited terminated in June 2016. However, new documents listed with Companies House reveal Zayn, 32, is active once more — as of November 3.

The musician, originally from Bradford, West Yorkshire, is listed as an “Active Director” alongside bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan. All of them have the same address in central London listed as their addresses.

Reacting the development, a music source told The Sun: “This is a huge moment. While heartbreaking, Liam’s passing has brought them together, it’s even more sad he was the biggest cheerleader of a reunion.”

It is believed the address in question is Lee and Thompson LLP — a leading law firm who specialise in music and media law. The company previously looked after Liam Payne’s solo career, it is reported.

Zayn is to perform seven gigs in Las Vegas in January — his first time entertaining crowds there. He and Louis, 33, have been filming a TV show together across America in recent weeks.

Noting this, the source continued: “Since Liam’s passing the boys have been in contact… PPM was the original company they set up when they were on the show (The X Factor). The name stands for Princess Park Manor, the private gated complex they were moved into when they were on the show.”

The lads came third on The X Factor in 2010 — when the youngest member, Harry, was just 16. The rest were 17, and at such tender ages began their remarkable music careers. One Direction went on to sell more than 70 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. They went on an indefinite hiatus in January 2016, around 10 months after Zayn left.

The girlfriend of a major sports star who died last week is pregnant, the coach of the Dallas Cowboys has said, as he vowed that the team will support her and the child. Marshawn Kneeland was found dead aged 24, just days after scoring his first touchdown in the NFL.

He is thought to have refused to pull over during a traffic stop while driving and sent his family a group text saying goodbye, before crashing his car into a truck and fleeing on foot. He was found dead hours later in the early hours of Thursday, November 6 from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer, 52, announced that the club have set up a memorial fund to support his girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, and the baby when he or she is born.

He said: “She’s pregnant and so we want to make sure she is taken care of and the baby is taken care of for the rest of their lives. It’s very important to our guys and to us. The organisation have been amazing, we’ve started the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund where we can all give and support Catalina.”

He also opened his Wednesday press conference with a poignant tribute to the American football star, who played two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before his death.

He said: “I’d like to take a few moments and offer my condolences to Marshawn’s family, Catalina his girlfriend. We had an opportunity last night to celebrate Marshawn’s life, tell some stories, share, laugh, cry.

“Marshawn loved the words One Love. He talked a lot about love. As we grieve, I had a chance to really share a couple of things I’ll miss the most about Marshawn.

“Those top couple of things was he had the most playful spirit of any young man I’ve been around. His smile could take you to your knees. In terms of him as an athlete, no one had a better motor than him. So my heart is heavy, our team’s heart is heavy, we don’t move on, but we do move forward.”

Sharon Osbourne tearfully detailed the secret fall her husband Ozzy Osbourne suffered that caused a ‘domino effect’ ultimately leading to his death earlier this year

Sharon Osbourne has revealed that her husband Ozzy suffered a fall that may have ultimately caused his death. She detailed the horror accident on the family podcast, in her first appearance on the show since the rock icon’s death.

Ozzy Osbourne died in July of this year following a heart attack. His family have now said that his health was getting worse for a while and a “domino effect” of ill health started the December before, after he became poorly whilst the family were on holiday.

Speaking about it on The Osbournes, their podcast, Sharon was joined by her son Jack, who has since joined I’m A Celebrity, and her daughter Kelly. This is the first time in more than a year that the whole family had recorded a podcast episode together.

While it has been reported that Ozzy had a bad fall in 2019, which dislodged metal rolls in his back, this was the first time a second fall had been mentioned. Sharon said: “It started in December of last year, the kind of getting worse. We were supposed to go to Finland, Daddy was going to stay here [in the UK], while we went to Finland and then we were going to stay for Christmas, New Year and stay until the show.

“It was the first week of December and he wasn’t feeling great and he took a little fall and he kept saying ‘My back hurts’ and we left on the 10th and said ‘You can come with everyone a little bit later’. He went to the hospital.”

Jack then added that his father “wasn’t very good at handling pain” and kept the fall a secret. “Backing up a bit, he wasn’t very good at handling pain… but being the gentleman he was, he didn’t tell anyone he took a fall and it turned out he had a fracture in his back, in his vertebrae.”

Sharon continued to say Ozzy’s age and prior issues with drugs meant he probably wouldn’t have healed from the fracture. “Someone of his age with his medical state, the condition of his body and the amount of drugs and other issues – you know it’s not going to heal itself. It would have been a miracle.”

“It started a domino effect,” agreed Jack. He revealed that after the fall, Ozzy got pneumonia and needed surgery. the Black Sabbath frontman died in July aged 76.

Elsewhere in the podcast, Sharon admitted she had trouble sleeping since her husband died. Kelly added that the “mornings are the hardest for her” because she briefly forgets her father is dead. She continued that the “outpouring” of love from fans was a real support after he died.

“The outpouring of love has been so helpful to us. I never could have even imagined it to be as helpful as it has been to know that we’re not alone in our grief, in our sadness and that the rest of the world loved him as much as we did.”

Sharon added: “Ozzy, he wouldn’t believe it. He wouldn’t. He didn’t realise how much he was loved and that was his beauty because he never took it for granted from anyone. He never took it for granted I’m this, I’m that. He had no idea.”
