Holly Ramsay has celebrated her last Christmas as an unmarried woman. The daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, 25, will tie the knot with Team GB star Adam Peaty on December 27, and took to social media to update fans with a romantic post.

Adam had posted a snap of them both onto his Instagram Story which he he simply captioned: “Merry Christmas!” But Holly took things one step further, by acknowledging the big day that is less than 48 hours away.

The model reposted the snap, which pictured them outside holding hands, onto her on Story and wrote over it: “Last Christmas as a Miss,” as she emblazoned the caption with a string of emojis.

The couple will exchange vows at Bath’s historic Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul before getting festive drinks later in the month.

But it all comes amid a feud that exploded into the public eye after the mother of the groom, Caroline, was left out of Holly Ramsay’s glamorous hen party at Soho Farmhouse, prompting Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, to publicly criticise Holly and Adam on social media for the “hurt” inflicted.

After being noticeably absent from Holly’s hen party, the question of whether or not her mother-in-law will be invited to the lavish wedding ceremony was raised. She so heartbreakingly stated in a recent interview, “I want Adam to know that no matter what happens in the future, you can talk to me whenever you want.”

She continued to state to the Daily Mail, “I would not 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.

She claimed that she was at home looking after Adam’s young son, who he shares with his former partner at the time of Holly’s hen party, which included her mother Tana, Victoria Beckham, close family friends, and her siblings. She revealed that she was left crying and that she “didn’t want to live” because that was how she felt at the time.

Caroline claims that her and Holly’s relationship deteriorated as a result of her extended family’s disapproval of the engagement party. She claimed to have sent Holly a text in an effort to acquaint her with her feelings, which irritated Adam. She continued to assert that she thought her son was “in Gordon’s clutches,” which has further exacerbated the ongoing rift.

Holly and Adam traveled to Lapland ahead of Christmas Day, but despite the Olympian making no mention of the milestone milestone Caroline’s 60th birthday, despite the support of others.

Taking to Instagram as her son frollicked in the snow, Caroline confirmed she’d turned 60, and shared warm wishes from various family members.

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.

In the meantime, Caroline’s aunt Janet and uncle Eddie shared a sweet nostalgic collage of photos taken right before her birth, with the caption “It only seems like yesterday since you were born Caroline, Caroline.” A lovely Christmas gift made me an aunt for the first time. Happy birthday, everyone, and many happy birthdays on the day.
