Adam Peaty’s mother Caroline has spoken out after being allegedly banned from her son’s wedding to Holly Ramsay – and claims to have been left “broken” by recent events
Caroline Peaty was looking forward to her youngest son’s wedding, but has now found herself on the blacklist. Over the weekend, Adam Peaty’s mum broke her silence after reports claimed she’d been excluded from her son’s Christmas wedding to Holly Ramsay.
Tensions are understood to have escalated following Holly’s recent hen party, to which Caroline allegedly wasn’t invited, while the guest list did include Victoria Beckham and Holly’s mum Tana, who is married to TV chef Gordon Ramsay.
In a heartbreaking interview, Caroline said that she “knows it’s the end” for her relationship with Adam, but said the door would always be open if he wants to come back to her. “The message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point,” she told the Daily Mail.

“There’s nothing you’ve done that I would not forgive. I love you so much. I hope your marriage is a good one, I don’t wish any ill on you and I want you and Holly to have a long and happy marriage. The reason I’m speaking out is I want all this to end.”
Caroline also revealed she was at home caring for Adam’s son during the hen and stag celebrations. She added: “I was crying all the way home. I got home and told Mark that for the first time in my life, I felt I didn’t want to live. That’s how low this has made me. I’m a strong woman and I can get through anything, but this has broken me.”
Caroline alleged that the relationship began to deteriorate at the engagement party when her extended family weren’t invited. She said she had sent a polite message to Holly about it.
“But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message,” she revealed. Caroline also claimed that Adam was unyielding and “nor will Holly”. She added that he “rarely says sorry” and “has a very black and white view”.
However, Caroline has stated that she would attend the wedding if she received an invitation. But sharing her theory about why the rift continues, she claimed that her son is “in Gordon’s clutches” and believed the family were “pulling him away”. “He’s in Gordon’s clutches. I can’t help but feel like they are pulling him away from me. Their family is very insular,” she told the Daily Mail.
Caroline’s sister, Louise Williams, has publicly lambasted Holly in a social media post. She penned: “@hollyramsayy I’m so glad that you had a great hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman who I have loved and continue to love deeply. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”
Now rumoured to be worth between £1million and £4million, Adam has previously spoken with pride about the sacrifices his nursery manager mum made for him to succeed.
“My mum worked on the other side of Stoke, I trained in Derby. That is a big journey,” Adam once told the Guardian.
“I would get up at 4am, my mum would drive me to the pool for 4.40am in Derby. She would wait for me for two hours, drive back, have some breakfast, then she would be in the house for 50 minutes, then work all day 8am to 5pm, God knows. Then come back to Derby, wait another two hours, collect me. She wouldn’t get home until 8pm or 10pm.”
However, the family’s financial struggles were never far from his mind. “You do feel on the back foot if you don’t come from a rich family or a family who are already involved in sport… You’re starting off at a massive disadvantage against those kinds of people,” he once said.
“As an amateur you’re up against people with money who can afford physio or therapists, and these kids turn up with all the kit. Not everyone is equal. But if anything, it made me more determined to make the most of what I did have and give 110 percent in training.”
Reflecting on his upbringing, he told the Guardian how his modest background fuelled his ambition. “That relationship with suffering has driven me since I was a kid. I am working class – but millions of people in this country are also working class. “They live paycheck to paycheck and can’t have luxury things.
I was in a larger family with two brothers and one sister, so you had to fight for what you had and because I was the youngest I always had hand-me-downs. “But that gives you an appreciation for the things you do have. I now really respect everything I have earned, such as my house. I’ve got a roof over my head, I can feed my family and enjoy the luxuries if I need them. Now, becoming a dad, I want to be the best role model possible to George to show him that if you want something, you get it by working hard. Don’t become lazy and ever think anything will be handed to you.
