Adam Peaty’s mum Caroline’s close bond with Holly Ramsay before bitter wedding row

Caroline Peaty appears to have had a close relationship with Holly Ramsay ahead of their current fallout, which saw Caroline uninvited from her son Adam Peaty’s wedding

Before their relationship reportedly soured, Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty’s mum, Caroline, appeared to have shared a warm and affectionate bond with her son’s fiancée, Holly Ramsay.

Just a few months ago, Caroline took to Instagram to celebrate Holly’s birthday, posting a heartfelt message that hinted at how close the families once were. She wrote: “Happy birthday Holly (and Jack), have a wonderful day x We are looking forward to the year ahead and to you officially becoming part of our family x We have shared some wonderful times already and here is to many more x”.

Alongside the message, Caroline shared a carousel of lovely photos of Holly. The first two images showed the Strictly Come Dancing couple beaming together in the countryside, followed by sweet moments of Holly playing with Adam’s young son, George.

Caroline also included family photos of the trio and finished with a glamorous shot of Holly smiling with a drink in hand. Holly herself responded warmly to the post, commenting: “Thank you xx.”

At the time, Caroline’s Instagram feed reflected nothing but pride and positivity for both Holly and her son. She frequently shared updates about Adam’s career and achievements, including a February 2024 post in which she gushed: “Super proud of you Adam x To achieve that time especially when you are not fully tapered is amazing. To see you happy with your swim is so good to see.”

In August, she celebrated his success at the London Olympic Triathlon, writing: “Congratulations Adam, super proud is an understatement x Just wish I was there x”.

But what was once a seemingly close family dynamic has now been overshadowed by a bitter fallout in the lead-up to Adam and Holly’s Christmas wedding at Bath Abbey.

According to The Daily Mail, Caroline was excluded from Holly’s lavish hen weekend at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire. The luxurious celebration was attended by her mum, Tana Ramsay, sisters Megan and Tilly, and family friend Victoria Beckham.

Holly shared photos from the trip, writing, “My girls gave me the best weekend, my heart is so full,” while Victoria also posted her own snaps from the “girls’ night”.

Caroline was reportedly left heartbroken after being left out of the get together. By contrast, Adam’s sister Bethany was also invited to the festivities.

A source told The Mail that tensions between the Ramsays and Peatys have been building for months, describing it as “a clash of lifestyles”. They added: “The Ramsays are rich and like the finer things in life. The Peatys are much more down-to-earth.”

The situation allegedly escalated when Caroline bought a dress for the wedding — only to be told that Holly and Adam didn’t approve of it. The couple reportedly offered to buy her another outfit, planning a shopping trip to Bath that never materialised due to train disruptions.

After the fallout, Caroline shared a cryptic post that appeared to reference the tensions between her and Adam, which read: “The ones I love are the people who hurt me the most. When you love someone, you protect them from the pain, you don’t become the cause of it.”

Mary Berry gives update on ‘terribly frail’ husband after heartfelt promise

Former The Great British Bake Off judge Dame Mary Berry expressed joy at still having her long-term husband by her side, following almost 60 years of marriage

Dame Mary Berry has made a rare admission about her husband’s health while opening up about her own lifestyle at 90. The beloved chef celebrated the milestone back in March with a big family gathering in her hometown of Bath.

While now may seem like the perfect time for Mary to retire, she insists she has no plans to slow down and hopes to continue working for as long as she’s able.

Reflecting on her age, The Great British Bake Off’s former judge said she feels “so lucky” to be in good health.

She also expressed gratitude for still having her husband of almost 60 years, Paul Hunnings, by her side, though insisted that he isn’t as fortunate health-wise.

Speaking to Yours Magazine, Mary shared: “He’s terribly frail, but very cherished and well looked after.

“Just as I was leaving, I gave him a little plate of smoked salmon, a wedge of lemon, and I cut the crusts off the bread. And though he doesn’t have a drink with it, I’ll do the drinking when I get in.”

Discussing her lifestyle, the chef described herself as “very much a morning person” who enjoys getting outdoors.

When it comes to food, she’s also mindful about what she eats and avoids snacking between meals.

Like her mother, who lived until 105, she additionally likes to keep fit by walking regularly.

“My husband is always in the biscuit tin, we’ve been married 59 years and I’ve still got no control whatsoever! I eat what I enjoy, but I eat very carefully,” she laughed.

When previously asked how she maintains her figure while sampling cakes on The Great British Bake Off, she told The Belfast Telegraph: “It’s quite simple – I just make sure the next meal is small.

“I don’t believe in cutting out certain foods; a little of everything is good for you. There’s nothing wrong with a slice of cake with tea, which I enjoy most afternoons, or strawberries with a big dollop of cream – just don’t be dipping into the biscuit tin all day. Moderation is key.”

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Woman & Home, Mary said it remains “a great pleasure” to care for her 93-year-old husband.

“That’s what I promised to do – for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer. And we are very happy in our dotage,” she shared.

During the interview, she also speaks about her new boyfriend Jim days after going Instagram official with the 50-year-old hypnotist and transformational coach. She told Elle magazine: “Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does. He’s quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people.”

Jennifer went on to say of her ‘very special’ new love: “He’s very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It’s a beautiful thing to commit your life to.”

‘Hard launching’ her relationship with Jim last week, Jen took to Instagram to share a black and white snap hugging him from behind. She captioned the post: “Happy birthday my love. Cherished,” followed by a red love heart.

In the snap, a beaming Jim grabs Jen’s hands which are wrapped around his waist. Jim simply replied to the post sharing an emoji face blowing a kiss of a love heart.

Within hours of the post going live, hundreds of thousands of Jen’s followers had liked the post too, including celebrity pals such as Amy Schumer, Kaley Cuoco, Melissa Joan Hart and Tara Reid.

Jen and Jim were first romantically linked in July this year. At the time, they were photographed on a yacht in Majorca. However, months earlier fans had speculated over a potential match after Jim commented flirtatiously under one of Jen’s Instagram posts. In the spring, the actress shared a workout video – with Jim responding with a love heart and muscle emoji.

Sources previously told People magazine that the pair had met through mutual friends. Jen is thought to have been following the coach on social media for almost two years. “They’ve been seeing each other for a few months now,” an insider told the publication in July.

“They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends. Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work. She’s really into self-help and wellness. They are dating, but it’s still casual.”

Though it looks anything but casual now, with some reports claiming Jim could be ‘The One’. Before Jim, Jen hadn’t publicly dated anyone since her 2018 divorce from Justin Theroux. And she was famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005.

Roman Kemp warns dad Martin he’ll ‘get him back’ for I’m A Celeb tweet

Roman Kemp has warned his father Martin Kemp that he will get his own back on him after the pop icon sent a tweet about his son when he was in the I’m A Celebrity jungle

Roman Kemp has issued a playful warning to his father, Martin Kemp, ahead of the latter’s stint on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! this month.

Martin, 64, is set to follow in the footsteps of his son Roman, 32, who braved the jungle alongside other celebrities in the 2019 series.

Roman, who secured third place in that series, was reminiscing about his time on the show and recalled the moment he faced one of the ITV programme’s notorious Bushtucker Trials.

The Celebrity Race Across the World star revealed that when he was selected by the public for an eating challenge, he initially thought he had done something to upset viewers.

However, it later transpired that the voting may have been influenced by Martin encouraging his social media followers to see his son tackle one of the dreaded trials.

During a chat on Roman and Tom Grennan’s podcast ‘You About?’, The One Show host confronted his dad about the incident and vowed to get even.

He said: “I need to get you back. I need to get you back because, I don’t know if you remember, you sent out a tweet when I was in there.

“I thought, obviously, when you’re getting voted to do trials, I thought, ‘Oh my God the public must hate you, that’s why they’re picking you to do these trials’. I thought, ‘Oh it’s because I’ve done something wrong’.

“Turns out when I came out, having gone through the paranoia of that, it was because you tweeted something being like, ‘I want to see my son eat kangaroo b*******’.”

Martin responded: “I was the ringleader, to be honest with you.”

The father-of-two has since released a heartfelt statement after landing in Australia for the annual ITV staple. In his statement, the musician expressed that he would miss his family the most during his time on the show.

Meanwhile, in an Instagram post announcing his participation, Martin referred to his son’s previous appearance on the show, writing: “I’m heading into the jungle. People keep asking if I’m scared of snakes or spiders… The truth is, I’m more scared of Roman’s face if I don’t make it as far as he did.”

While Martin prepares for I’m A Celeb, Roman is featuring on BBC’s Race Across the World with his sister Harleymoon Kemp, where they will compete against three other celebrity duos while travelling over 5,900km across Central America on a shoestring budget.

I’m A Celebrity’s Kelly Brook reveals sad reason she split from Hollywood icon Jason Statham

Kelly Brook has revealed the reason behind her split from Hollywood icon Jason Statham after pair were together for seven years and even got engaged

Kelly Brook has candidly opened up on her past failed engagement with Jason Statham as she prepares to enter the I’m A Celebrity camp. The model, 45, and Hollywood icon, 58, were together between 1997 and 2004, but Kelly called time on their relationship after seven years.

And she has revealed to feeling “neglected” in the romance as Jason’s Hollywood career began to flourish. Despite her own career going from strength to strength at the time, Kelly claimed on a podcast recently that the star had began failing to show up for her.

Speaking on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, Kelly confessed she had previously been a ‘people pleaser’ that didn’t put herself first. However, she explained that as she has got older, she has learned to be more ‘selfish’.

Speaking to the host, she said: “I have been in the past such a people pleaser and wanting to be friends with everyone and wanting to be there for everyone and not putting myself first. It hasn’t served me so unfortunately, as I get older, I’ve become more of a selfish b***h and I don’t really care anymore.”

It was then that the host asked her about her previous love life before her marriage to Jeremy Parisi in 2014 and how her attitude may have affected outcomes. “I think definitely in my first relationship there was definitely elements of co-dependency,” she said.

“There were elements of me putting my career and my life on hold. I had a really good job at MTV. I remember I was hosting a daily show there, and it was just after I’d got fired off The Big Breakfast and I got a really great show there and I was there for about a year and my boyfriend at the time was an actor.

“I remember he got offered a few roles in things, as like a bouncer on the door in EastEnders doing something and he had so much talent and charisma and I was like, ‘Do you know what? We just got to go to America. I just think it’s going to be the making of us if we just go'”.

However, she said this move, although helping Jason, saw her own career stagnate somewhat. She went on: “But I had this really good job and we had no money and I quit my job and we went and I was there as this support network for him and watched his career flourish, whereas mine floundered a bit because I didn’t have the same opportunities.”

She admitted such was the success and her support of it that she sometimes felt neglected to the point that she “fell out of love” with her then-fiancé. Explaining how she thought it was a tough but right decision, she says she told Jason he hadn’t been there for him when he questioned her reasoning.

“So it was just a really hard time, but I think that was the first time where I really did something for myself and it was the best decision,” Kelly added.

While Kelly has since married Jeremy, Jason went on to find love with Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in 2010. The pair are currently engaged and share two children, Jack, eight, and Isabella, three.
