Adam Peaty’s marriage to the Ramsay clan is set to begin as he prepares for the full, explosive breakdown of the family he left behind because his parents are still on the verge of blacklisting for the lavish event.
It was meant to be a union of sporting royalty and culinary celebrity, but as Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty prepares to marry Holly Ramsay next month, it’s all been kicking off behind the scenes.
While the Ramsays prepare for a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey, the Peaty clan back in Staffordshire has been left shattered, snubbed, and allegedly “blacklisted” from the event after a series of falling outs.
Holly’s exclusive hen do at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds, with one notable absentee, Adam’s mother Caroline, was the first to become aware of the conflict. Peaty and Ramsay’s situation quickly became apparent, with sources claiming Caroline had been turned down because she was a typical working-class mother who didn’t fit the glamorous mold. The truth has since turned out to be much more complicated.

Adam made it abundantly clear that there were conflicting viewpoints on Instagram. He stated, “Over the past few days, comments and reports have been made about Holly and I’s private lives. Bethany, my sister, has also been targeted. This has been largely unilateral and intrusive in many cases.
Reading it has been hurtful and upsetting, especially given the false foundation we have been targeted on. Members of my family have encouraged it, which makes it worse. Given that the police are conducting an ongoing investigation into serious matters that occurred well before recent events, Bethany, Holly, and I cannot provide more information.
Who is the in-laws’ war, and why is Bethany the only one on Team Peaty?
Mother Caroline Peaty
Caroline Peaty, 59, Adam’s mother, has openly expressed her regret for being turned away from the wedding. The nursery manager won’t see her son marry his fiancee the following month because she used to wake up at 4am to drive Adam to training.
Caroline claimed that after her extended family wasn’t present, the relationship started to deteriorate at the engagement party. She claimed to have addressed Holly with a sincere message about it.
She revealed, “But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message.” Additionally, Caroline asserted that Holly “never will be like Adam” and that he was unyielding. She continued, “He rarely says sorry and has a very black and white view.”
She claimed that Adam’s revelation that she wanted to wear her favorite cream dress for the wedding and that she needed four more dresses was a result of her grief.
Caroline has, however, indicated that she would be invited to the wedding. However, she continued to make the claim that “He’s in Gordon’s clutches.” They seem to be attempting to pull him away from me, I can’t help but feel. Their culture is very closed off.
No matter what happens in the future, I want Adam to know that he can talk to me whenever he wants to.
Nothing you did will not forgive me for. I’m so in love with you. I sincerely hope your marriage turns out well, and I sincerely hope that Holly and you have a successful union. I want everything to end, so I’m speaking out.
A planned family shopping trip to Bath, which Adam had paid for, was reportedly canceled due to train delays, adding to the rift. According to reports, Adam “went insane” and “accused his parents of wasting his money.”
Taking to Instagram, she posted a cryptic message: “The ones I love are the people that hurt me the most.” She later told the Daily Mail she felt “broken” and that she knew her relationship with her son was “at the end,” blaming the “insular” Ramsay family for pulling him away.
Sister Bethany Peaty
Bethany’s inclusion has a resemblance to a scandal, though she is reportedly the only sibling still on the guest list. She and her fiance, Dan Rogerson, who has a violent criminal past, are scheduled to attend.
Rogerson, 37, was jailed in 2017 for possession of cocaine and cannabis with intent to supply. He was present and correct for Adam’s stag trip, alongside Gordon Ramsay. A family insider told The Sun: “Adam and Holly know all about Dan’s past. He used to be a nasty piece of work but hopefully time has helped him change.
“He went on the stag-do. Adam’s dad Mark was invited too but decided not to go and during that weekend he and Caroline were looking after their grandson. Bethany’s had her head turned by her brother’s celebrity world, and she and Dan enjoy all the glitz and glamour. Adam is forgiving of them, but he isn’t forgiving of his own decent, law-abiding mum.”
The couple, who live in Derby, are located just 30 minutes from Adam and Holly’s home in Kegworth, Leicestershire, where they reside.
Caroline reportedly posted a cryptic family quote after receiving his invitation, which has reportedly added to the conflict. When I was five, six, or even ten, I can’t recall opening every gift. I can recall the kitchen smell, the lights’ glowing, and how love felt more intense in December. My parents, who made it happen, were the ones who made the magic happen, not the presents.
Brothers Richard and James
James, 34, and Richard, 30, Adam’s brothers, have a long history of conflict that was later documented in print.
Adam kept his composure with his autobiography The Gladiator Mindset, which was published in 2021. He outlined James’ alleged previous struggles with “demons” and drug use in detail, giving an unfair description of his brothers.
James reportedly felt betrayed by his famous brother by “fuming” at the portrayal. Before the relationship broke down again, James was even working on building projects for Adam earlier this year when they initially reconciled.
This month, James was detained on suspicion of harassment after allegedly threatening Adam with messages during his stag do. The feud reached its pinnacle. Since then, he has been released.
Dad Mark Peaty
Mark, 65, was once a fixture in the stands, cheering his son on to Olympic glory. Now, he finds himself on the outside looking in. Despite Gordon Ramsay attending Adam’s stag do in Budapest, Mark was nowhere to be seen. Reports suggest that Mark was invited to the stag do but has since been “blacklisted” from the main event.
After the arrest of his son James, he recently lamented that the situation had “got out of hand.” They’re brothers, and they’ve always been close, Mark said. However, there hasn’t been much compassion for Jamie’s real mental health issues.
Aunt Louise Williams
Louise Williams, Adam’s aunt, is just putting more fuel in the fire. Louise has turned into the family’s attack dog on social media despite never being able to bite her tongue. Louise slammed Holly Ramsay as “divisive and hurtful” after Caroline was snubbed from the hen do in a public tirade.
Holly Ramsayy commented, “I’m so happy you had a great hen do. You deserve that as a bride. However, you made a woman I have loved and still love dearly angry and hurtful as a person. You have caused my sister a lot of pain that will require time to heal.
She also claimed that Caroline and the couple “body shaming” each other over a dress-code row.
