Adam Peaty’s mum takes brutal swipe at son after being banned from his wedding

Reports say Caroline Peaty has been uninvited from her son’s wedding as more family members get involved in the ongoing feud with Adam Peaty and his fiancee Holly Ramsay

Adam Peaty’s mother, Caroline, has taken what appears to be another brutal dig at her son on social media, as reports that she has been banned from his wedding circulate.

The mother of the groom was not invited to his fiancee Holly Ramsay’s hen do, even though her father Gordon Ramsay was invited to Adam’s stag. The snub was branded “divisive and hurtful” by Adam’s aunt in a public Instagram post, and her harsh words online are said to have pushed the soon-to-be newlyweds to ban Caroline from the big day.

Throughout a rumoured ongoing feud between Caroline and the couple, she has been posting cryptic messages to Instagram about how hurt she is. After she was thought to have been uninvited from Adam’s wedding, she posted another message, taking a fresh swipe at her son.

Caroline posted a picture to Instagram of a quote, which read: “When you love someone, you protect them from the pain, you don’t become the cause of it.” In the caption she added: “The ones I love are the people who hurt me the most.”

Fans jumped in the comments to continue to dig at Adam and the growing animosity with his mother. One wrote: “You only get one mother in life, some people need to remember this.” Another said: “Hold your head up high; not many Mums would’ve got up at 4am for those pool runs. Adam should be so proud.”

A third posted: “How awful for you! Hopefully one day he will realise that loving mums should be held in high regard. No woman should try to stop that.” Caroline liked the comment.

This isn’t the only post Caroline has uploaded about the situation. After she was not invited to the hen do, she posted: “Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can’t explain how broken your heart is.”

While Caroline was looking after Adam’s son George, both the stag and hen dos were in full swing. Caroline’s sister, Louise Williams later posted to her own Instagram about the situation, branding Holly “divisive and hurtful” for not inviting Caroline.

Though her account is now private, the post was originally able to be seen publicly. In the caption, Louise wrote: “@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.

“A woman who opened her home and heart to you. You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother-in-law to your hen night yet Adam invited his father-in-law, your dad, to his stag night.”

She continued: “You invited your mum (quite rightly) and even your mum’s assistant, your sisters, your friends, my niece, but not my sister, your future mother-in-law.

“I have also seen messages passing between her and Adam about this and other matters and, quite frankly, I expected better of you and definitely of Adam. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”

The Mail reported that the post upset Adam and Holly so much that they now want to cut ties with the entire Peaty family and have banned Caroline from attending the wedding. Neither follows Caroline or Louise on Instagram anymore, and Adam’s sister, Bethany, is thought to be the only one of his family still invited to the wedding.

A source close to the family told The Sun: “It’s at a point now where Caroline has been told she should not come to the wedding. There is a feud rumbling on and it’s been absolutely devastating for everyone involved.”

Richard E Grant’s heartbreaking admission as wife’s death forces him to sell holiday home

Richard E. Grant has admitted being unable to return to his holiday home after the death of his wife and with a ‘heavy heart’ has had to sell the property in Provence

Richard E. Grant has shared that it is “too painful” to return to his holiday home in France after the death of his wife, Joan Washington. The actor shared the house in Provence with his late wife and has had to sell it.

The 68-year-old was married to vocal coach Joan for 35 years, having met in 1986 and marrying the same year. The couple had one daughter together, Olivia. After a battle with cancer, Joan tragically died in 2021.

During their almost four decades together, Richard and Joan bought a farmhouse in Provence and renovated it together. They spent every summer there for 33 years but Richard has now admitted that he hasn’t been able to go back in the four years since his wife died.

Writing for The Times about his travels, Richard said the place didn’t feel the same anymore. “‘I tried going back to Provence on my own after Joan died, but found it too painful. With a very heavy heart I sold the house.”

Earlier this year, Richard also opened up about his wife’s death. The Withnail And I actor revealed that he hadn’t considered moving on after his wife’s death, adding that it was “not looking for it” at the moment.

“The idea of being sixty-seven and three quarters and taking my kit off is so mortifying, I’d have to be in a Krakatoan cave without a crack of light,” he told The Sunday Times Culture magazine. “That may change. I’m hopeful-minded and open-hearted but I’m not looking for it.” He added that he does not feel lonely, as Olivia and her husband both live with him.

Over the years, Richard has been very candid about his grief. He shared beautiful memories of his wife on The Lulu Podcast, including one where she laid out all the women they knew that he could start a romance with after she died.

“She was hilarious – a month before she died, she went through all the women, the women who were either single, divorced or available or widowed, that we knew, and she basically went through all of them like a lioness and gave me a reason why I shouldn’t pursue any of them.”

About the likelihood that he would find love again, Richard said: “I have no expectation that I will fall in love again, which is not to say that it couldn’t or wouldn’t happen, I’m not there on a dating app trying to find it. I feel fulfilled and sustained without feeling like I’ve lost my better half, which I have.”

In fact, Richard is so in love with his late wife, that he still talks to her each night via emails. Richard said: “I have no woolly spiritual delusion that she’s hearing this, or that I’m going to get a response, but it somehow keeps the connection going.

“So I write to her, ‘Dear J, today would really have amused you…’, it makes it feel like that person is still there. It’s an ongoing conversation.”

Brooklyn Beckham under fire as he breaks silence after snubbing dad David’s knighthood

Brooklyn Beckham has broken his social media silence with a cooking video, prompting backlash after skipping his dad David’s knighthood and staying silent on the milestone

Brooklyn Beckham has finally broken his silence on social media after being accused of snubbing his dad David Beckham’s knighthood – only for his followers to start arguing with each other in the comments.

The 26-year-old content creator and foodie took to Instagram to show himself whipping up his signature smash burgers while promoting his hot-sauce brand. However, the post came just days after David Beckham, 50, was officially knighted at Windsor Castle last week in recognition of his services to football and British society and many of the replies focused on his absence.

The Ex-England captain was joined at the ceremony by wife Victoria, 51, and their children Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and 14-year-old Harper Seven. The proud family later enjoyed an intimate dinner where Victoria stunned in one of her own designs. The Ex-England captain described the moment as “emotional” and “special.” Meanwhile, Romeo and Cruz shared warm tributes to their father on Instagram, and Victoria penned an heartfelt post, calling David her “knight in shining armour… now it’s official.”

However, his son Brooklyn was missing from the celebration. His absence at the ceremony and failure to mention the milestone online fuelled speculation of a family rift.

A flood of comments under his cooking video shows fans criticise him for the move while others defended him. One person wrote: “No one cares mate, are you going to say well done to your dad?” Another commented,”“Why don’t you come to support your dad?”

However, some fans showed their support towards him. One wrote, “Let this man live. You know nothing about his family.” Another echoed the sentiment, writing, “Folks, he’s making a smash burger and trying to find joy through sharing his cooking. He’s not asking your advice and you’re not a family guidance counsellor.”

A third person wrote, ““Keep being you. No one knows what happens in families and the trolls are projecting all their fantasies of your family onto you, making everything your responsibility. That must be really tough. Breathe deep. This too shall pass.”

According to recent reports, the tensions between Brooklyn, his parents and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30, began years ago and has since escalated. Sources claim Brooklyn once told the family he wanted “no contact” – and that he even learnt of his father’s knighthood through the media.

A source close to the Beckhams told Page Six: “Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he’s not responding to those that try to connect.” Meanwhile, a source has told The Daily Mail that there has been a rift between Victoria and Nicola.

They said, “Victoria dislikes Nicola intensely and it’s been war behind the scenes pretty much ever since the wedding. It’s always been a tug of war about Brooklyn, and Victoria has not wanted to let go.”

Adding, “Victoria feels he has been absorbed into the Peltzes and that his life is all about that family… Even when Nicola and Brooklyn went out to Paris for Victoria’s fashion show, they stayed with her family because her mother likes to go to the couture shows.”

Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel breaks down in tears after watching him on stage

Jackie Apostel has been a constant source of support for boyfriend Cruz Beckham, cheering on his new music and getting close with his family as they celebrated David Beckham’s knighthood

Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel couldn’t hold back tears as she watched him perform live on stage. The 29-year-old songwriter was visibly emotional as her boyfriend, 20-year-old Cruz – the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham – sang tracks from his upcoming album during a recent gig.

In a clip shared to Instagram, Jackie was seen offstage filming proudly while wiping her eyes as Cruz performed. After the show, the aspiring musician thanked fans, saying, “That was a fun one, thanks for coming. There’s going to be more soon – more music and more gigs.”

He captioned the video, “That was a fun one,” while Jackie simply commented: “Sobs.” The young couple have been inseparable since they began dating in June last year, later confirming their romance in October by going Instagram official.

Cruz, who has been working hard to carve out his own path in music away from his famous parents, has made quite the statement with his latest releases. However, his debut singles, Optics and Lick The Toad, has raised eyebrows among fans over their explicit nature – with themes of ‘drugs and sex.’

In Optics, Cruz sings, “Take a thousand selfies in your bed while I trip in mine / I love me some mushrooms and good head and an erotic 69.” The chorus adds, “Stay high fashion, no comedown, no crashing but you wanna know how it looks, I wanna know how it feels.”

His second track, Lick The Toad, continues the edgy theme, with Cruz crooning: “Let me take a lick of you mother nature, imma take a lick. Let me take a hit of you mother nature, imma take a hit.”

Despite being the son of global icons, Cruz is determined to prove his talent on his own terms. He’s been performing across various small venues and enlisted The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard to help shape his album. Tracks include Waste Your Pain, John Lennon, Tie Don’t Fit, For Your Love, Yeah Yeah Yeah and Lick The Toad.

Cruz’s first-ever single, If Every Day Was Christmas, came out in 2016, but he’s since shown off his skill as a mature artist. His 2023 release For Ya Love even sparked fan comparisons to Oasis.

His mum Victoria has fiercely defended her son against “nepo baby” accusations, insisting he’s working hard and deserves his place in the industry.

Meanwhile, Jackie has cemented her place within the Beckham clan – as she has shown love towards Cruz’s parents. She recently joined the family for an intimate dinner celebrating David Beckham’s knighthood, wearing a sleek yellow satin gown from Victoria’s fashion label.

Following the dinner, Jackie shared a heartfelt Instagram tribute to the couple, calling them “truly GOOD people.” “There’s nothing quite as beautiful as seeing deserving and truly GOOD people achieve their dreams,” she wrote. “You’re dedicated not only to yourselves reaching your maximum potential but also each other. You celebrate each win as if it was your own.”

While the Beckhams turned out in full force for David’s big day – including Cruz, Romeo and Harper – his eldest son Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz were notably absent. The couple also missed David’s 50th birthday and the premiere of Victoria’s Netflix documentary, fuelling rumours of an ongoing family rift.

Nicola later shared a photo of flowers from her sister Brittany instead, writing, “Omg @brittanyleahpeltz thank you so so so much, these are breathtaking.”
