Caroline Peaty was beside herself with grief when she learned that she couldn’t watch her son Adam tie the knot with his now-wife, Holly Ramsay. She had to put on a brave face for her young grandson.

Caroline, Adam Peaty’s mother, allegedly didn’t even have the luxury of crying as she processed the shock, but she was soon discovered that she would no longer be able to attend her son’s wedding.

In a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey yesterday, Olympian Adam, 31, wed model Holly Ramsay, the daughter of Gordon Ramsay. Although there were more than 200 guests present, including famous people like Victoria Beckham and David, Caroline, 60, was far from the lavish gatherings.

In fact, she and her husband Mark endured the agony of this rejection at home in Staffordshire, where it should have been the most joyful day of their lives. Unfortunately, it’s believed Caroline was informed of her uninvited behavior while caring for her five-year-old grandson George, who Adam shares with his ex-artist ex, Eirianedd Munro.

Caroline, the devoted grandmother, appeared to have had no choice but to conceal the profound “hurt and betrayal” she felt in front of the young boy when she learned the news while returning George to his mother.

Caroline, the nursery manager, was exempt from Holly’s raunchy hen do at the hip Soho Farmhouse, which took place in November. Caroline was left at home performing grandma duties, which was apparently the “only good thing” she managed to escape the slight while the father of the bride, Gordon, was allegedly snubbed by her daughter-in-law and was allegedly involved in the stag do fun.

In a post shared on Instagram last month, Caroline wrote, “Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can’t explain how broken your heart is.” Protective sister Louise responded to Caroline’s story by exposing Caroline’s ordeal in the comments section at the time.

The time Caroline spent with her grandson was the only positive thing she [Caroline] gained from such a blow, Louise wrote. She was contacted by Adam while returning him to his mother, and she was informed that she was no longer welcome at the wedding. This was so cruel. Because she didn’t want her grandson to see how upset she was, she had to keep the hurt, betrayal, and pain inside. Talk about “twistering” the knife.

Before his nuptials, Louise reportedly texted nephew Adam a stern ultimatum, just before he said, “I do.” The ice-cold message read, “I hope you never experience the pain your mother has endured, and she loves you still, despite it all,” according to MailOnline. You two deserve a lot of shame. Shame . Remember that you caused your mother such pain that her soul screams on this, your happiest day, and each anniversary of your happiest day.

Meanwhile, Caroline revealed to the Mail about how agonizing she was about missing out on Adam and Holly’s lavish wedding and that she was “beside herself” at the thought of doing it. “They have cut my heart out.

In November, Adam broke his silence and released a statement about the conflict. He continued, “For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard to improve myself as a person who wants to make the world a better place.

Even in these challenging times, I am continuing to learn about myself and how to become the man I want to be: a good partner, father, businessman, friend, and athlete. We don’t ask for sympathy; instead, Bethany, Holly, and I will get through this. Simply put, we need people to realize that every story has a different storyline. Thank you to those of you who have shown kindness and understanding. It is greatly appreciated. His wife-to-be Holly also shared the post with her 400, 000 followers on social media as a show of solidarity.

A former T.R.T. contestant has admitted that he was taken aback by Claudia Winkleman’s company. Jake Brown, a top-seeded series three champion who shared the £94,600 prize pot with fellow champion Leanne Quigley, revealed he was taken aback when he learned about Claudia’s personality in person.

When asked by The Sun’s TV Mag if Claudia ever breaks character, he replied: “I was taken aback by how normal she is. Claudia’s one of those celebrities who’s even better than she appears on TV.”

Leanne, a fellow contestant, continued, “Claudia’s the ideal host. She wanted to check in with us, but she had to keep the persona, I believe.

The pair’s comments come ahead of the return of the non-celebrity version of The Traitors, airing on the BBC on New Year’s Day, when a new set of contestants will vie for the big cash prize as either a Traitor or Faithful.

The Traitors has been a smash hit since it first appeared in the UK a few years ago, when it first gained popularity in Europe.

Since 2023, host Claudia has been the show’s beating heart and a key component in its national appeal.

In fact, Claudia, who recently left Strictly Come Dancing alongside Tess Daly, says she still remember the early days of the show before it became a massive success.

She also told the publication: “It started with just a gang of us on a train, carrying fingerless red pleather gloves and a few ceremonial pouches, and I like to still think of it as that tiny show…I’m incredibly lucky and grateful. I have to pinch myself every single time.”

Claudia was the first choice to host the program, despite her prowess as host.

Speaking on The Rest is Entertainment podcast, Kate Philips admitted they had been looking at other stars, including a popular Scottish actor, before landing on Claudia.

She acknowledged that “we were examining hosts.” Additionally, I noticed that Alan Cumming was authorized to do the American one. He is a well-known Scottish actor, as you may well know.

“So we did actually ask Alan if he would do it, in full disclosure. However, he was unable to participate in our dates because America came first, then we arrived, and he was working a different job, so he was forced to.

With Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s wedding day surrounded by drama amid a bitter family feud, Dan Walker has come under fire for his “insensitive” wedding post. The broadcaster attended the extravagant wedding on Saturday (27 December), which took place at the historic Bath Abbey, with a star-studded guest list that excluded all but one member of the Peaty clan.

But while most celebrities stuck to the phone ban, former BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker was slammed for sharing photos from the couple’s big day. The TV and radio star posted two photos of Adam and Holly’s order of ceremony, one with the title page, and another showing the hymn they picked out.

Dan unintentionally enraged his followers after Adam decided to ban his family, despite the images’ apparent innocence. They labeled him as “insensitive.” Shame he didn’t invite his mother, one fan said.

Another user criticized, “Sorry Dan, but did you actually have to post this?” It might come across as insensitive for those from the Adams family who weren’t there for whatever reason.

A third follower continued, “There is something wrong with celebrities sharing their attendance when the most significant person, regardless of who was right or wrong, is not there.” Let’s hope they don’t let it pass too late. The young will learn.

Meanwhile, another simply asked: “Are some things not kept private?” A fifth disgruntled Instagram user added: “We live in a world where forgiveness is in very short supply. Celebrities will come and go, but you only ever get 1 mum.” Someone else typed: “Unfortunately his mum not there, as a mother she must be so disappointed and hope all the mothers who went felt something for his mum.”

Not just Adam’s mother was prohibited from the ceremony. His father Mark allegedly insulted him because he was invited to the wedding party, where his sister Bethany was chosen as one of Holly’s bridesmaids, with the condition that he sat behind the plus ones.

Just moments before the ceremony, the family rekindled their feud after the decision was made to exclude them from the festivities. Adam received a furious text message from his aunt Louise, his mother’s sister, as he prepared to tie the knot.

She wrote, “I hope you never experience the pain your mother has endured, and despite it all, she still loves you.” You two deserve a lot of shame. 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,” MailOnline reports.

Caroline, Adam’s devastated mother, planned to watch from the crowd while attending the wedding, but decided against it because it would be “too upsetting” for her. She chose to spend her son’s wedding day at her family’s Staffordshire home in Uttoxeter.

Despite the feud, Caroline admitted the door is still open for her son. Speaking to MailOnline she said: “As a mother, all you want your children to do is be happy in their relationships. I’ve not done this to ruin their wedding. It’s their wedding, yes, it’s a happy day – but it needs to be said.

There is nothing I can’t forgive, and I want them to have the best day possible. They are both still loved. And I want to tell Adam to stand by one another.

Don’t forget the other people who are around you just because you love them and find it to be intense. I believe that family should have been a top priority at the wedding because it is such a joyful occasion.

The first “sex kitten” was never far from scandal, but Barbiitte Bardot changed the definition of sex, changing how it was viewed.

The legendary Brigitte Bardot was a force unstoppable that completely altered how men and relationships were perceived by the public.

The world is mourning the actress and style icon, whose death aged 91 has today been announced after she was rushed to hospital following an illness. The French activist was one of the first celebrated sex symbols as the bombshell revolutionised the art of love-making in her own unashamed style.

When asked if she felt comfortable wearing a racy dress, the Parisian sex siren famously responded that “it is more important that men feel uncomfortable.” She later became the face of the swinging 60s.

There was also a “no nonsense about love,” Brigitte said, and she had many millions of fans, including Beatles legend John Lennon, who had a life-size image of the star on his ceiling. At the height of her fame, she would eventually stop acting and concentrate on animal welfare.

Not everyone liked her sarcastic stance toward sex. In an article asking if she should be banned, columnist Dick William criticized her for “every time I pick up a newspaper or go by a theater marquee there she is, blasted all over the place with her stringy, unkempt hair, her plunging necklines, her bare feet, her vapid eyes, and her half-opened mouth. Her “casual attitude toward marriage” is both revolting and moral.

She marries Roger Vadim in 1952, and she later wed Jacques Charrier, and they wed repeatedly throughout. She wed Gunter Sachs in 1966 after only three years of marriage. She retired from her wild ways and spent the rest of her life with Bernard d’Ormale after saying “I do” in the 1990s. She had her last husband.

She is also survived by her fourth husband, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, her grandchildren, Anna and Thea, and her fourth husband. Additionally, the actress leaves her sister, Mijanou Bardot, and several great-grandchildren behind.

She helped turn the bikini into a representation of a generation embracing freedom, pleasure, and a rapidly evolving consumer culture, which is still popular among women worldwide today.

At the age of 15, Brigitte made her debut as a model and appeared on the cover of Elle. Women of my generation are all remembered by Nicole Parrot, a historian of fashion, in later times. She gave rise to something that had never previously had a place in society or fashion: “the jeune fille.”

She died on December 28 at her home in Saint Tropez, France, following a recent hospitalisation. In October 2025, Brigitte spent three weeks in hospital as she needed to undergo a procedure that her office initially described as “minor surgery”. French media reports indicated the operation was part of a treatment plan for an unspecified but “serious illness.”

The And God Created Woman star previously spent time in the hospital twice for respiratory problems in 2023, and Brigitte revealed that she was dependent on crutches and was unable to walk anymore.

The Brigitte Bardot Foundation announced her passing in a statement from her foundation, which read, “Ms. Bardot, a world-renowned actress and singer, who chose to devote her life and energy to animal welfare and her foundation.
