Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay are ploughing ahead with their wedding – despite his family fall-out. The Team GB icon, 30, and Gordon Ramsay’s daughter will tie the knot on December 27 in a ceremony at Bath Abbey.

But with less than two weeks to go, the couple are currently making their final preparations for the big day, but took some time out to pose for a string of photographs together. With just days to go until the pair become Mr and Mrs Peaty, while Holly was glamming herself up, Adam also enjoyed some downtime.

The happy couple appeared to be getting ready as Holly sat in front of a mirror with eye patches underneath her eyes, flashing a smile as her fiancé stood shirtless while fastening up his trousers. Adam, in one snap, was gazing out of the window while fastening his trousers, showcasing his ripped physique.

Another snap, as Holly covered her face, as Adam flexed his bulging biceps while pulling a funny face in the mirror. Captioning his post, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant penned: “Less than two weeks until we’re married @hollyramsayy. Where did the time go? Yes this is literally the only picture we have together in the last few weeks.”

His post was flooded with messages of support, with one fan writing: “I think you are both fab and so glad you have found each other, looking forward to seeing the pics.” A second penned: “Wonderful couple! Your winter wedding will be magical.”

“So excited for you two.” But others were left arguing that his family should be in attendance. One fumed: “Both sides of family should be there.” As a second disgruntled follower added: “You should be on your knees apologising to your poor mum and family!!! Shame on you for allowing Holly to poison you against those that have stood by you all your life and helped you become and achieve what you have!!!!”

Sources close to Adam’s heartbroken mother, Caroline, previously claimed that he had “changed” since meeting Holly and is now chasing fame, despite his working-class upbringing in Uttoxeter.

They added to the Daily Mail: “She’s from a celebrity world and his parents are not, and his ego and self-importance has just got bigger. He’s not the lovely boy next door that we all remember him as. Adam has changed and he is almost a bully. He has been so horrible to his mum and he is now trying to exclude her from his life. She is worried sick about all this and can’t believe it is happening.

“We think Holly has triggered all this, and her parents – the power of the rich and famous.” Adam’s whole family had been invited to the ceremony, with his brother also serving as a groomsman, but this changed when James allegedly sent “threats” to the swimmer and was subsequently arrested.

But it has since come to light that Adam’s sister, Bethany, will be his only relative in attendance. His mother, Caroline, was also not invited to Holly’s hen do at Soho Farmhouse, while Bethany was seen at the glitzy event alongside Lady Victoria Beckham.

And while Holly has remained tight-lipped about the fallout, Adam recently took to social media to share a statement about the feud. He said: “For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard on trying to improve myself as a person who wants to contribute to making the world a better place.

“I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times. Bethany, Holly and I will get through this – we do not ask for sympathy. We just need people to be aware that there are always two sides to every story. To those of you who have reached out and shown kindness and understanding – thank you. It is deeply appreciated.”

Kate Ferdinand was left feeling “like a tourist” in London as she returned to the capital for the first time since quitting the UK.

The 34-year-old former The Only Way Is Essex star fled abroad with former footballer husband Rio Ferdinand, 47, and their blended family back in August. The family, which includes four-year-old Cree, two-year-old Shae, 19-year-old Lorenz, 17-year-old Tate 17, and Tia, 14, moved from London to Dubai.

This month, Kate returned to London and appeared to relish experiencing the city for the first time after being away for months. Taking to social media, the reality star shared a video of herself taking in the skyline from her Waterloo-based hotel, with her room looking out across Westminster and the London Eye.

Uploading the clip to Instagram, Kate added a caption where she hinted she needed tips to things to do. She wrote: “What’s everyone’s weekend plans? What happens in London at the weekends? I feel like a tourist!” – adding a rolling on the floor laughing emoji.

In the video, she shed insight into her recent activities and admitted she was feeling the effects of a night of drinking the day before. She said to the camera: “Morning, everyone. I’m in London! I’ve got a beautiful view of London. I’ve been here for a couple of days. Been so busy.”

She continued: “I look a bit tired, by the way. It’s been a tiring few days, and I’ve been back to back to back, trying to get everything in while I’m here. But I’m a bit tired and had a couple of drinks last night with our friend.”

And she added: “It just feels really, really good to be back. The sun is shining, I’ve missed it here. I’ve really missed it here, so it’s good to be back.” Her update comes four months after Kate had told her fans that she, Rio and their children had upped sticks to move to Dubai.

She wrote: “A new chapter, a fresh start — because if we don’t try, we’ll never know. Ahhh! We’ve talked about this for so long, and now it’s finally real… we’re here. we are making a new home in the place we met!”

Kate added: “Missing some of our specials already & a bit scared, excited & nervous — but more than anything, ready for fresh starts and new beginnings.” Dubai has become something of a haven for high earners in the past year, with the Middle Eastern nation well known for its lifestyle and luxurious restaurants and nightlife.

A host of other celebrities have quit the UK for the sunny climate, with Naomi Campbell moving there last year to set up a new business, and Apprentice star Luisa Zissman. Luisa recently made headlines as she revealed the huge expense it was costing her to ship her horses, her horses Cherry, Champ, Clemmie, Oreo and Jupi, to her new home.

The star documented the flights of her horses and told fans she would be unable to visit them for two days after they landed as they entered a strict quarantine. She told fans via social media: “One of the grooms that was flying with some other horses yesterday took videos of a few of my babies coming off the plane and I am so happy! Because I don’t really know how they are, I haven’t seen a picture of them yet.

“I’ve managed to arrange via the friend who I booked the horses to travel with through, a vet to go and give them all a drip today to rehydrate them after travelling and make sure they’re okay and manage to deliver some food there.”

She also shared screenshots as she tracked the flights taking her horses to Dubai – and told fans how much she was looking forward to having them back in her life.
