At a reportedly grand ceremony at Bath Abbey on December 27th, Olympian Adam, 30, and 25-year-old Holly, the daughter of legendary chef Gordon Ramsay, are set to say “I do.” The young couple has been having fun while preparing for their wedding, even taking a trip to Holly’s well-known family for Christmas.

Sadly, the Peatys have remained firmly out in the cold, with mum Caroline Peaty’s 60th birthday apparantly going uncelebrated by the pair. Here the Mirror takes a look at what Adam and Holly have been up to inbetween last minute wedding prep.

In preparation for the big day, Adam and Holly took a festive trip to Finland, taking advantage of their busy schedules to take romantic sleigh rides and take trips to see the Northern Lights’ breathtaking beauty.

The married couple’s parents, Gordon and Tana, and Adam’s five-year-old son George, who he shares with his ex-partner Eiri Munro. Holly posted photos of the aurora borealis and another photo taken inside an airplane to Instagram on Friday night (December 19) and posted it to her Instagram account as “Home.”

Other funfilled holiday snaps showed Adam waist deep in piles of heavy snow, and little George hopping aboard a miniature snowmobile.

Despite receiving tributes from all over the internet, Adam made sure to update followers on Thursday (December 18). However, he made no mention of the milestone birthday of mother Caroline on December 18. Caroline confirmed she was 60 and shared warm wishes from various family members on Instagram as her son rollicked in the snow.

Happy 60th birthday to one of the most powerful women I’ve ever met, from which I am grateful for everything you have done for the boys! I appreciate you for guiding me through both the good and the bad times. You’ve been there for me for 18 years.

Meanwhile, Caroline’s aunt Janet and uncle Eddie shared a sweet nostalgic collage pic of photos taken right from her birth, captioned: “It only seems like yesterday since you were born Caroline, a lovely Christmas present making me an aunty for the first time. Many happy returns of the day, happy 60th birthday to you.”

Dinner with friends that was lavish

Eve Winnington, the wife of Australian swimmer Elijah Winnington, Eve Winnington, and another close friend joined them for a slap-up meal at dad Gordon’s Lucky Cat restaurant on Monday night.

The chic Mayfair eatery’s menu, which includes prawns and sushi with caviar on the side, has a lavish menu and costs up to £180 per person.

On the night, Holly made an apparent choice between the £135 seafood platter and photos of a mouthwatering selection of sushi, salted edamame, and sweet and sour prawns. The bride-to-be took a bathroom selfie with her pal Eve to start the evening off right. It appears everyone had a good time.

This comes as Adam and Holly were spotted leaving the swish Robun Japanese sushi restaurant and cocktail bar with Gordon, Tana, and Holly’s sister Tilly, 24. Young George was also in attendence and could be seen holding hands with his stepmother-to-be.

Adam and Holly appeared to be “inseparable” to other diners, but the pair denied being related. They were giggling and fooling around, according to a journalist for The Daily Mail. They didn’t show any of the family’s problems, no matter how minor they might be.

Locals’ fury

While there has been plenty of joy in the weeks leading up to the wedding, Adam and Holly have also had to put up with disgruntled Bath residents, who reportedly oppose the couple’s apparent decision to block book the Abbey for their 90-minute ceremony in order to prevent the venue from hosting any more ceremonies.

Although hiring an abbey for a wedding typically costs around £2,500, The Sun claims Adam and Holly have spent several thousand more for exclusive use. When your wedding service only lasts an hour and a half, one resident complained to the publication, “It seems rather selfish to hire the abbey for the entire day.”

Caroline’s heartache

At the festive wedding, Caroline’s heartbroken mother will no longer be available, with Bethany Peaty expected to be the only Peaty family member present.

No matter what happens in the future, please know that I love you, your dad loves you, and you can talk to me whenever you want to. Caroline said in a recent interview with the Daily Mail.

She continued, “I wouldn’t forgive anything you’ve done.” 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.

Caroline’s alleged snub caused the brewing family tensions to become clear at Holly’s hen party, which included her mother Tana, Victoria Beckham, close family friends, and her siblings.

The mother, who has dedicated her life to helping Adam win in swimming, claims to be at home with her grandson George. Caroline claims that her and Adam got into a fight when her extended family was disqualified from attending the engagement party.

Caroline claims she sent Holly a text in an effort to get her voice heard, which irritates Adam. She added that she believed her son was “in Gordon’s clutches,” which would only make things worse.

Caroline stated on Instagram yesterday that her last year had been one of the hardest of her life, and that she would make a fresh start in 2026. She stated, “I met the strongest person at the same time as the most broken person.” Prepare for 2026 because I’m returning stronger than ever.

One audience member’s opinion of this Disney fantasy musical, which is perhaps the most appropriate description of the movie itself, reads, “I wish I hadn’t waited so long to see it, brought me tears at the end.

This live-action adaptation of a cherished classic captivated audiences when it debuted on the big screen in 2023, and now, the movie is poised to bewitch viewers once more as it graces television screens tonight on Christmas at 6.30pm on E4. The Little Mermaid serves as Disney’s official live-action adaptation of the studio’s 1989 animated masterpiece of the same title, with the original picture loosely drawing from Hans Christian Andersen’s celebrated 1837 fairy tale. Directed by Rob Marshall from a screenplay crafted by David Magee, the movie features Halle Bailey in the lead role as Ariel, alongside Jonah Hauer-King portraying Prince Eric.

The supporting ensemble includes Melissa McCarthy, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, Noma Dumezweni, Art Malik, and Javier Bardem. The production’s initial budget was estimated at approximately $240 million, though subsequent reports suggested costs reached around $355 million, positioning it as Disney’s twenty-third most costly venture to date, reports the Express. The Little Mermaid proved a tremendous box office triumph, earning over $569 million globally and securing its place as 2023’s tenth-highest-earning picture.

The film’s official synopsis reads: “The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.”

The Little Mermaid was a hit with moviegoers thanks to its impressive 93% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One enthralled viewer commented, “I liked it better than the original! ” A star on the horizon is Halle Bailey! perfect casting I was so entertained by Melissa McCarthy’s rendition of Ursula! I absolutely adored the original while maintaining some of the nostalgia while adding some fresh elements, especially those that enhance the chemistry between Ariel and Eric. Definitely Disney’s best live-action film to date”!

The best live-action remake to go along with Cruella, Aladdin, and Cinderella read another glowing review from a viewer, according to another audience member. Halle gave a fantastic performance in The Little Mermaid, which was incredibly musical. As Ursula, Melissa was amazing. Giving Jonah and Halle similar interests was a wise decision that greatly enhanced their romance, and the chemistry between them was palpable. It was a wise choice to use Halle as Ariel, and it should set the bar for upcoming live-action remakes.

Another happy customer praised the movie as “must see.” This version stands out from the competition thanks to excellent casting and excellent character development for Prince Eric. Ariel is perfectly portrayed by Halle Bailey, who perfectly excels in this role. The movie comes highly recommended. However, critic reviews were mixed, with one critic claiming that Bailey’s performance is “amazing as it is enchanting” and that the movie received a 67% approval rating.

Halle Bailey’s mesmerizing performance received a lot of praise, with one critic claiming that the film’s heartbeat is “Ariel,” demonstrating how a classic can evolve without losing its soul. She creates a space for a new generation to see themselves in Ariel’s story rather than just making a splash. Halle Bailey as Ariel is the most perfect casting for a live-action remake Disney has ever produced, according to another reviewer. It is important to study how she managed to capture Ariel’s childlike inquisitiveness, stubbornness, and yearning.

Tonight at 6:30 p.m. on E4 on December 25th, The Little Mermaid will be broadcast on television.

Soul icon Sade Adu has traded her worldwide celebrity for a quiet life in the West Country, from the heights of “Smooth Operator” to a peaceful existence in Somerset.

She moved to Colchester when she was just four years old to live with her grandparents and was born Helen Folasade Adu in Nigeria. She was later given the name Sade Adu. Her parents lived in Essex at the time. However, her trajectory dramatically changed when she and her band achieved fame with the release of “Your Love is King,” their debut smooth soul song, which peaked at No. 6 in the 1984 charts. Four decades later, their debut album, Diamond Life, sold out in excess of 10 million copies, making it a timeless record.

In addition to receiving four Grammys for her work, Sade also received critical acclaim after their sophomore album was dropped, including Best New Artist. The vocalist made her acting debut with Absolute Beginners, a film set in 1950s London, while still working in this field.

Throughout the following two decades, Sade attained global recognition, with tracks such as “Smooth Operator”, “The Sweetest Taboo” and “No Ordinary Love” playing across radio stations around the world. These songs remain beloved today, amassing over a billion streams on Spotify alone, according to the Daily Record, reports the Mirror.

The mysterious musician, who has been renowned for her sporadic album releases and extended periods of silence from the spotlight, appears to have settled into a peaceful life by purchasing a farm in the West Country to live on while living alongside her partner Ian Watts and her mother, who are affectionately known as “Granny Annie.”
