Gordon Ramsay wrote a sweet message for Adam Peaty on social media ahead of his marriage to Holly Ramsay, telling the Olympic swimmer he is ‘ so lucky ‘ to be welcoming him into the family

Gordon Ramsay has shared an emotional wedding-day tribute to his daughter Holly as she prepares to marry Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, describing himself as “so lucky” to welcome the sports star into his family.

The celebrity chef marked the occasion by posting a heartfelt message to Instagram alongside a photo of himself with Holly. Gordon wrote: “I’m truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son in law @adam_peaty! I love you so much @hollyramsayy and couldn’t be a prouder Dad xxx.”

One fan responded: “Can’t wait to hear what a lovely day you’re all going to have. Enjoy the moments, spend time to watch the joy and love around you all. Have a perfect day”.

Another gushed: “What a beautiful couple and they are so lucky to have the support from you”. Holly, 25, is set to marry Adam, 30, today (December 27) in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey.

The couple’s glamorous guest list expected to include members of the Beckham family alongside close friends of the Ramsays. Onlookers have said that preparations for the wedding began at Bath Abbey early this morning.

Staff positioned white roses around the abbey’s entrance, and put media pens and cordoned areas in place before the high-profile guests started to arrive.

Unfortunately, the build-up to the wedding has not been without controversy. Adam’s strained relationship with his own family has dominated headlines in recent weeks, and according to sources close to the Peatys, both of his parents are being excluded from the ceremony.

Earlier in the week the Sun reported that although Adam’s mother Caroline had considered attending the wedding uninvited, she ultimately decided against it.

A family member said she did not want to ruin the couple’s big day, and also described the situation as too painful to endure in public. The feud is believed to have started after tensions during Holly and Adam’s engagement party last year, which was filmed for Gordon’s upcoming Netflix documentary.

Insiders have claimed a disagreement over the guest list and filming arrangements led to a confrontation between Adam and Caroline that later escalated into a broader family breakdown.

The rift between Adam and his family only got worse in November when his mother was not invited to Holly’s hen do. Adam’s aunt Louise Williams criticised the couple online, and later claimed Caroline had been excluded from the wedding over concerns about her appearance.

Caroline also spoke out herself, saying she felt like she was being pushed out of her son’s life. Adam’s mum described the Ramsay family as “very insular”, and seemed to imply that he was choosing his in-laws over blood relatives.

However, she then added: “But please, the message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point”.

Adam later broke his silence in a public statement, acknowledging the dispute and asking for understanding, while insisting there were “two sides to every story”. Only his sister Bethany is now expected to attend the wedding.

‘Gutting’ – Forest striker Wood has surgery

Chris Wood, a Nottingham Forest striker, will have surgery to take him on a second spell on the sidelines.

Since Ange Postecogolou’s replacement as manager, the New Zealand striker has been sidelined since mid-October due to a knee issue.

The 34-year-old made 20 goals in 40 appearances for the City Ground last term to advance to Europe.

Wood has managed two goals in nine appearances, which has meant his playing time has been more limited this campaign.

Wood’s type of surgery was not disclosed, but he has been seen wearing a knee brace while watching recent Forest games.

You can never predict what football throws your way, Wood wrote on Instagram.

“From the highs of last season to the current battles and lows of this season personally.” You must have a sense of security.

It’s truly revolting and frustrating that I’ll be waiting patiently. It’s what’s required for my team-mates to do in the Premier League and Europe to come back stronger and better.

Gov Radda Mourns Victims Of Borno Mosque Attack

Malam Dikko Radda, the governor of Borno State and head of the Northwest Governors’ Forum, is grieving over the tragic attack on worshippers at a mosque in the state.

Governor Radda characterized the incident as “a cruel, senseless, and condemnable assault on innocent citizens engaged in worship and the sanctity of places of prayer.”

The Governor, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, the chief press secretary, told Radda on Saturday that the attack had cost precious lives and injured others, putting families and communities in mourning.

Every life lost in this agonizing incident, in his opinion, is a home in mourning and a traumatized community.

He emphasized that all places of worship must remain peaceful, reflective, and devotional spaces and never be the targets of violence.

Governor Radda emphasized the need for sustained national resolve in the fight against terrorism and violent extremism in all forms, noting that violent acts of this nature are painful and unacceptable.

He urged security organizations to “strengthen collaboration, deepen intelligence gathering, and ensure that those responsible are identified and brought to justice,” and to intensify ongoing operations aimed at protecting citizens and preventing further incidents.

The Governor urged Nigerians to continue to support security efforts by remaining unyielding, vigilant, and united, stressing that national solidarity is essential in dealing with threats of fear and division in the nation.

Radda reiterated the Northern Governors’ collective commitment to working closely with the Federal Government to advance regional security architecture and safeguard people’s and property.

He expressed his condolences to Borno State’s governor, governor Babagana Umara Zulum, the state’s government, the people of Borno State, the deceased’s families, and the victims of the attack.

If you’re seeking a pain-free and long-lasting hair removal solution, it may be worth considering an intense pulsed light (IPL) technology device, also known as an IPL or laser removal machine.

Fortunately, the popular Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 is included in this massive Braun sale. Normally retailing at £599.99, this sought-after machine has been slashed to £289.99 – saving shoppers a massive £310. Additionally, you’ll receive a spare razor and pouch, perfect for use on the go.

This stylish hair removal device is incredibly lightweight and boasts sleek gold detailing and a long cable, ensuring it’s not restrictive when not in cordless mode. It also comes with a blue and green Venus razor, perfect for prepping your skin for smooth results.

With just three settings, it’s a breeze to use, and even includes a precision head for treating smaller areas, such as the face or underarms, which can be easily attached and detached. The gadget allows you to complete a full-body treatment in just 10 minutes.

It features Skin-Protection MAX technology, which adjusts the flashes according to your skin tone. According to the product description, you’ll start seeing results in just four weeks. If you grab it now, you’ll be silky smooth with plenty of time before summer.

One happy shopper who picked up this device bestowed a 5 out of 5 rating, beaming: “The best product ever for women!! I could see the results after 3 weeks, honestly, but yeah, I`m also not a hairy person. Anyway, I`m already at 5 weeks, and it feels amazing. Such a difference, hair still grows, but very slowly and very little, and I no longer have irritations after epilation like I used to have in a few areas of the body. This product saved my life and i truly recomend it.”

Further praise comes from this shopper who says: “When I first got this product, I must admit I was very sceptical of how good it would be, but after 5 weeks of using it, I can honestly say I have noticed a definite reduction in hair growth. I no longer have to shave every time I hop in the shower now. Some bits are a little more sensitive than others, but overall, it works on any bit of hair you are looking at reducing. Once you get the hang of it then it is really easy to use. The product itself is beautifully designed, and it comes in a stylish carry case. I would 100% recommend this product. I am extremely happy with the results.”

And a third notes: “Having used the Silk expert Pro 5 IPL for approx 5 weeks, I am thrilled to say that hands down the product exceeds any expectations I had for it. It’s such an easy machine, and having used it on my arms and legs, I’ve found a huge reduction in hair growth already. It’s very easy to use, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to become hair-free. It comes in a very nice, stylish bag which holds the machine very nicely with a Venus razor. I’d certainly recommend this.”

That said, one customer knocked off one star, writing: “I have been using this product for nearly 6 weeks and found it is easy to use, particularly with it having a UK plug. The long cord means I can use it wherever there is natural light, as that has an impact on the flash. I have found that it is more effective on thinner hairs and needs a longer course on thicker hairs. The downside is that the product emphasises that any form of hair removal is good to use prior to IPL. However, I have found that only using the razor is the most effective method.”
