Adam Peaty has a message that Gordon Ramsay supports.
After a week of silence, Gordon Ramsay has made a public display of support for his new son-in-law amid a family feud between Adam Peaty and his parents.
On 27 December, Adam married Gordon’s daughter Holly, in a ceremony that all bar one of his family members did not attend. This came after Adam’s mother Caroline was uninvited from the wedding.
None of the Ramsays have publicly discussed the situation despite Caroline and her family members posting social media about the “pain” caused by the conflict with Adam and speaking to the press, including her sister Louise.

However, Gordon has shown his love for the most recent addition to his family after Adam shared a portion of his wedding speech on Instagram. He wrote, “Beautiful words @adamramsaypeaty @hollyramsaypeaty True Love” in the comments section. Dad, congratulations on your two hearts.
Although Gordon and his wife Tana are not actually Adam’s parents, it is believed that Gordon once made such a disparaging reference to the new family member. According to reports, he claimed to have told the couple that Tana would be an “amazing mother to you both” during his wedding speech.
Caroline, Adam’s mother, and Mark, Adam’s father, were both absent from the wedding. Other than the groom, his sister Bethany, who was a bridesmaid, was the only Peaty present.
Speaking to MailOnline ahead of the wedding, Caroline said: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.”
She continued, “My family is broken, and this is my first Christmas without my family.” Yes, I do have a third grandchild. Yes, I have my other children, but my family has been divided due to the events surrounding the wedding.
Gordon’s most recent words came after Adam released a portion of his wedding speech, in which he said he would choose Holly Ramsay. His emotional message to his bride is strikingly similar to words used by Brooklyn Beckham during his feud with parents Victoria and David, both of whom were at the Ramsay-Peaty wedding.
Brooklyn did not attend, just as he has not appeared at any function involving his parents recently. The 26-year-old is thought to be feuding with his parents after snubbing several events, such as his father’s knighthood, and, most recently, blocking his entire family on Instagram. Months after speculation began, he broke his silence and said he would “always choose” his wife Nicola Peltz.

Back in May, Brooklyn posted a video of himself riding a red motorcycle through Los Angeles with wife Nicola sat behind with her arms draped around his neck as they travelled along the palm-tree lined road.
Brooklyn’s caption reads, “My entire world will love you forever, I always choose you baby,” and she goes on to say, “X I will love you forever.”
It is thought that Sir David Beckham is worried that his son Brooklyn won’t attend his Hollywood Walk for Fame ceremony, which the sports legend calls “public humiliation.”

Sir David Beckham is thought to be fearful that his son Brooklyn will not turn up at his Hollywood Walk for Fame ceremony. The sports star, 50, is due to receive a coveted spot on the tourist attraction in LA, having been announced for the honour in 2024 following the global success of his self-titled Netflix documentary.
Other stars to have been announced to receive a star on the landmark include actress Jessica Chastain, Hollywood star Colin Farrell and Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls fame. Organisers have two years to schedule a ceremony for each celebrity figure, but David’s family situation has been somewhat tricky in over the course of the last year, as it seems his eldest child Brooklyn, 26, has become somewhat estranged from his parents and siblings ever since he tied the knot with Nicola Peltz.
It will be the second honour in recent times for David, who was knighted by King Charles towards the end of last year, but Brooklyn did not attend that ceremony either. A source told The Sun : “Brooklyn snubbing David’s special day will be a very public humiliation as he lives in Hollywood. Of course, David is hopeful the family will have mended their relations by then, especially after he has offered an olive branch to Brooklyn. The rift has been a great cause of heartache.”

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, it emerged that Brooklyn blocked his father mum Victoria and brothers Cruz and Romeo from his social media accounts. But friends of the Beckhams say David and Victoria will “never give up” hope of reconciliation. The New Year message, described by one source as David’s “boldest olive branch yet”, marked David setting “for the record his love for his son.”
According to one source, David and Victoria will never give up trying to reconcile with their son. They live in hope, and nothing can change that. They will continue to keep their feelings open and honest with them forever.
Due to the family’s eldest son’s rejection of the family, David also put together a montage of the year’s events that didn’t feature Brooklyn. As 50 Cent took to the stage after midnight, Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, appeared to be having a blast as they introduced 2026 in style.
A source at the time stated that David had had an amazing year of work-wise thanks to his accomplishments in the United States, including winning the knighthood. However, he still feels sad about this, which undoubtedly has overshadowed the events. Everything is very upsetting.
According to insiders in Brooklyn’s camp, there are still “communication lines” between him and his grandparents on both sides. Brooklyn still has a strong bond with his grandparents, according to a source who spoke to the media after his parents’ affairs are over. Some people point out Brooklyn’s continued Instagram follow of his parents and brothers, but some people also block them.
The source continued, “There is a lot of love for them, and that has never diminished.” Prior to this, Brooklyn has emailed his maternal grandmother, Sandra, to ask her about her. He wrote online last June, “Happy birthday, nanny xx love you so much.” He acknowledged his family for the first time, and perhaps for the last time.
Brooklyn and his parents were in the UK for a photo shoot when they arrived around the same time. They were the only ones to learn about it when he photographed him in a central London pub. Friends claim that even in 2026, the Beckhams “not anticipating the situation to change,” but they’ll always have hope.
Brooklyn previously described Nicola’s marriage as “a never-ending playdate” when asked about it. We don’t like to party or anything like that, he said, “We don’t like to go out for dinner, really.” We simply hang out with our four dogs and enjoy wine at home when we are together, which is frequently the case.
Given the “highly charged atmosphere,” Nicola’s family has previously asserted that there is currently no chance of reconciliation with David and Victoria.

Chloe Madeley has opened up about her “volatile” divorce from James Haskell. This comes two years after the pair, who share a three year old daughter, separated.
Chloe, 38, and James, 40, split in 2023 and while she has said that their lives as the co-parents of Bodhi have “fallen into place”, the divorce process wasn’t easy.
She said, “The divorce process has been incredibly emotional and volatile.” “It’s fine now,” she said. “We have weeks where everything works out really well and we get along.” Then we go on to go over something for weeks, or a person becomes angry or frustrated, and finally we don’t speak.

She claimed to have “a hard policy” now and that her main motivation for “divorced” was to avoid “big blowout rows.” Chloe described the uncertainty of their relationship and said she would “drop off the radar” only to see James at the gym, and their relationship would then “back on track.”
Chloe, who is the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, admitted that when she received the letter finalising her divorce, it was still like an “undiluted slap in the face”.
She said it made her feel like she had “failed” and that it was “weird” to feel that way because she hadn’t been expecting it. She added that it will take “a time of grieving” before she can look at her divorce as a fresh start.
Before they split in October 2023, Chloe and James had been together for 11 years and had been married for five. On December 30th, their divorce was finalized only a few days prior.
One’s mother vehemently declared to The Sun that she “never wants] to be in a relationship with him again.” She emphasized that it “became incredibly dark, sad, and painful” and that she wasn’t even sure if she wanted to be in any relationship once more.
Chloe claimed that she went through a severe depression that required medication after her separation. But she finally found her true love after two years.
She then noted that James will have his own interpretation of events and that there are two sides to each story. Chloe praised James as a great father and how their relationship as co-parents improved despite their differences following their divorce.

Angelina Jolie’s “drama” with Brad Pitt reportedly aims to give herself and her children “more privacy” so she can live in Europe.

Angelina Jolie is reportedly planning to leave the US to live in Europe amid her “drama” with Brad Pitt. The Hollywood actress, 50, married her Mr and Mrs Smith co-star Brad, 62, in 2014 after more than a decade ago but they decided to divorce just five years later in 2019.
Both A-Listers have been involved in a lengthy dispute after Pitt accused Jolie of breaching their prior agreement regarding their French winery, Chateau Miraval. The winery was bought by the couple in happier times back in 2011 for roughly $60 million. Following their divorce proceedings, initiated by Jolie in 2019, she is thought to be considering selling the property, but the former power couple are said to have made a pact to never sell their shares without the other person’s consent.
Now, it’s thought that Jolie, who has six children with her ex-husband, is set to swap Los Angeles for Europe whilst also splitting her time between there and New York, alll in an a bid for “more privacy,” her long-time friend and actor Jae Benjamin, has claimed.

He stated on PageSix that “She can’t get far enough away from the drama… She needs to leave.” She’ll retreat and unwind, focusing solely on matters that appeal to her heart, soul, and passion. She is a wonderful, gifted, and generous woman.
The only way to take a break is to leave, Benjamin said, “Being through what she’s been through with Brad, having their entire life being in the limelight and all the years of it.” It’s challenging to find yourself in a town where you can’t even look in their eyes.
The Mirror has contacted representatives for Jolie and Pitt for comment.
Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 20, and Knox and Vivienne, both 17, are parents of the couple. The actress, who won an Academy Award, previously disclosed that she would leave the United States once her youngest children, who will turn 18 this July, would be. She claimed she had moved to LA so that her children could be “closer” to their father and that she is here because she has to be there from a divorce.
In 2005, the former couple first met as Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-stars. Jennifer Aniston and Pitt were both engaged at the time. Pitt and Jolie split in 2014 after their split from Friends, but they split just two years later, in 2016. 2019 will bring their divorce to an end. It was claimed that Pitt was suing his ex-wife for $35 million and was pushing for the release of undisclosed communications between the two at the end of last year.
The couple purchased the winery in happier circumstances in 2011 for about $60 million. Jolie started the divorce proceedings in 2019, and she is thought to be considering selling the property, but the former power couple are said to have made a pact to never sell their shares without the other person’s consent. Pitt’s most recent legal battle with his ex-wife came in December.
The mother-of-six was required to hand over a number of previously kept private messages related to the case, according to a ruling in a court in Los Angeles. The messages are a part of the ongoing dispute over Pitt’s claim that the sale of Jolie’s stake in Miraval was made without his knowledge.
Pitt claims that they had a deal that forbade either party from selling their stock without the other’s consent.
The Tomb Raider star has always denied that there was a deal, and he has previously argued against Pitt, accusing him of acting harshly and trying to hurt her financially.
However, in court documents seen by People, a judge agreed with the Bullet Train star’s legal team that certain communications should be disclosed in full. Now, the actress has been ordered to provide un-redacted versions of messages exchanged between non-lawyers that were previously withheld. She has been given 45 days to comply with the ruling.
The messages, according to Brad’s legal team, could allegedly challenge her account of what she intended to do when she sold her stake in the business to a group connected to the Stoli Group. Angelina’s attorney said in a statement that Brad and Angelina were “exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.”
Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt more than eight years ago, according to attorney James Simon, who spoke to the Associated Press. She and her children left all of the property they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since then, she has been trying to bring their family peace and healing.
“This is only one component of a long-lasting process that began eight years ago.”
After declaring she won’t be adding any more children to her family after a miscarriage last year, the former Gogglebox star has revealed how she plans to spend 2026.

Scarlett Moffatt has shared how she plans to spend the new year and shared cute pictures of her and her family, just days after she revealed she had heartbreakingly suffered a miscarriage.
The former Gogglebox star posted a series of snaps to her Instagram on 2 Janaury, in which she, her fiance Scott Dobinson and their son Jude, celebrated the New Year with a roast dinner.
She stated in the caption, “I can’t control everything.” However, I have the power to decide what I put forth. 2026, I’m choosing peace”. She received the support of several celebrities in the comment section, including Strictly pro Karen Hauer, who used an emoji to elicit a heart.

Vito Coppola, who was partnered with Scarlett for the Strictly Christmas special, also commented with heart emojis. Meanwhile, soap star Beverley Callard wrote: “Happy New Year gorgeous girl.”
Scarlett revealed she had a miscarriage in 2025 just days later. Two years after the birth of Jude, she explained to The Sun that she and Scott were “really excited when they learned they were expecting a second child.”
Unfortunately, Scarlett miscarried, which she claimed was “soul-destroying,” and the couple decided against trying for another child. They would prefer to have their son, especially since it had taken them “three and a half years” to become pregnant.
One day, I was lying in bed with Scott and said, “I just don’t think I can handle the heartbreak any more,” Scarlett told The Sun. We should stop, in my opinion. Let’s enjoy Jude because we have him. “
Despite the sadness, Scarlett’s performance in 2025 was admirable. After dancing a Cha Cha Cha with Vito Coppola to the DJ playing of Cher’s Christmas song, the TV star won.
Scarlett said in a statement to the Mirror before the special was scheduled to be broadcast: “I couldn’t believe my luck when I was paired with Vito. I wanted him a lot! Vito would be my favorite, I kept telling myself. I’m so appreciative of the show for giving us a chance to play a small part in such a significant institution.
The judges gave them a perfect score of 40 for their dance. We just laugh so hard together, Scarlett said, “It seems like I’ve known him for ten years. The best part is that it is “Strictly.”

At the age of 76, acclaimed actor Anita Dobson has no desire to break into the world of fame with more reality TV appearances.

AS landlady Angie Watts, actress Anita Dobson was the self-proclaimed ‘queen’ of The Queen Vic in EastEnders. But she could have ended 2025 with yet another crown as Queen of the Jungle.
ITV chiefs wanted her to sign for I’m A Celebrity and join the likes of Angry Ginge, Aitch, Kelly Brook and fellow Albert Square favourite Shona McGarty in the Australian camp. However, Anita turned the offer down.
She revealed: “They did ask me and I said No. I would never. There is not enough money in the world to make me go on that programme. It’s having to eat and do all those stupid things and being stuck with the same people all the time that you didn’t choose to go on holiday with. No. I couldn’t do it.”
It is a shame because it would have topped a very exciting year for the 76-year-old actress. She not only reprised her iconic role as the late Angie Watts in the special 40 th anniversary episode of EastEnders back in February – appearing in a surprise vision to her daughter Sharon (Letitia Dean). But her character of Mrs Flood caused huge excitement among Doctor Who fans when she was unveiled as the legendary villain The Rani in the BBC One sci-fi series in May.

Anita admits to keeping secrets, but she couldn’t reveal what she was up to with other than her husband and Queen guitarist Brian May. And she will have to do it in 2026 because she is unable to discuss a different role in a production.
The star confided: “The thing is that everybody tells you to keep quiet. Last year, I had to keep so many secrets. Although it’s been ridiculous, I still have some things to work on. I have got a part. Although it’s not quite like Mrs. Flood (from Doctor Who), it does occasionally appear in new episodes.
Believe it or not, actress Anita, who was born in Stepney, east London, has been a model since she was four years old. But she insists she didn’t choose acting, it chose her. She stated, “It wasn’t really me who made the decision to become an actress. It was my choice.” When my grandfather and my mother took me to a pantomime in Hackney when I was four years old, it turns out that I performed the entire thing live alongside the actors. It must have been really annoying for them and then I went home and did the whole show again for my family. You wanna watch her, my grandfather said to my mother. She has blood that smells like sawdust. And this was at four years old”.
After training at The Webber Douglas Academy of Performing Arts in London, she landed her first acting role in a Christmas show called The Saga Of Sir Sing-a-Lot. And she laughs: “And he did!
” The show was done up north and it was so cold and I didn’t know anybody and it was long hours and it wasn’t a particularly happy company as we had problems with various things and I thought I am never going to hack this. So I called my father, who said, “I wanna come home,” and he said, “If you get through this one, everything else will be easy.” And he was correct.
Anita landed presenting work on the children’s show PlayAway and then acting roles in the The Nanny and Partners In Crime and even the Jim Davidson comedy Up The Elephant and Round The Castle. However, when she was cast as Angie Watts in EastEnders for three years, she became a household name in the role.
A record-seeking 30 million viewers watched the 1986 Christmas special starring her cheating husband ” Dirty ” Den “the late Leslie Grantham ” who presented her with divorce papers. She still has fond memories of the soap and its cast adding:” A lot of the people who were in it back in the old days have either left or passed on but I remember I loved playing Ange so much. Lesley and Letitia were a wonderful addition to my family. A gift, indeed.
“The scripts were so good in those early days. We simply were it, not that we had to think. It was fantastic. We were a happy family. The East End was a wonderful experience because, regardless of how awful it was, we always tried to laugh about it whenever possible, and those early scripts definitely capture that.
It was during 1986 that she met Queen star Brian May and she got to know his fellow band members including the late Freddie Mercury very well. She and Brian married in 2000.
And she makes fun of how the fans assumed that the two had the same hairstyle because they both had black bushy hair then. She chuckles, “I think Brian did his hair, and I did mine”!
Anita, who is also a singer and scored a top five hit in 1986 with Anyone Can Fall In Love, has been by the musician’s side for 40 years. She was there to support him through his brief heart attack in 2020, and she was there to support him through his brief stroke in 2024.
He is particularly interested in her acting work. Asked if he was a fan of Doctor Who before she landed the role as The Rani, she says: “I think he did love The Daleks. He did watch it when he was younger, as a boy, just like we did. That was my preferred method when I was younger. But then I think he kind of forgot about it. He is a NASA employee, which meant he was interested in bigger things. But I believe I should have been because he became more interested. He keeps saying ‘ They should bring The Daleks back. Don’t you believe? I believe in it too.
Asked if she would like to reprise her role as the villain on the show, she says without hesitation: “Just give me a call”.
When she isn’t working, Anita admits that weekends are precious because she is a “home bird.” She states that “Sundays are the best days to chill out.” I like to get up late then. Although I enjoy a nice stroll through the garden, I prefer to be indoors. And I also have cooking time on Sunday. Not cooking because you have to eat but actually thinking about what you are going to cook and experimenting a bit”.
With all of her culinary prowess, it’s fragile whether she would join Celebrity MasterChef if she didn’t do I’m A Celebrity. That’s not a no either, though.
She explains: “No. Cooking under pressure is not what I like. And I dislike it when someone constantly glances over my shoulder and watches me. It would drive me mad. Cooking is enough agonizing. Why do you annoy me while cooking, asks my husband, “You’re in my way and I need you to move.”
But she did do Strictly in 2011 (and lasted for nine weeks) as it meant learning a new talent. She continues, “It was the only thing I would do, but I adored it and had a great time too.”
Given that she has at least two well-known roles on her resume, it is worthwhile to inquire about whether any of the roles she wished she had been given or if any of them would have been missed. But she told fans at a ComicCon event in Somerset: “I am very philosophical. If you are patient, it will go to someone else, who will receive yours if you are kind.
