Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s wedding was certainly an explosive one set to the backdrop of a savage family feud. Here, we take a look at the hidden bombshells from the big day
With a star studded celebrity guest list, masses of fans and a family feud, Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty’s wedding was one of the most talked about this year.
Bath Abbey was packed with family and friends including Victoria and David Beckham, but there was one group missing from the glitzy bash – Olympic swimmer Adam’s own family. After being axed from the guest list after a series of rows, the Peaty family were left heartbroken. The bitter fall out appears to have ignited when the wider Peaty family were not invited to the couple’s engagement bash, and culminated in Adam’s own mum Caroline being banned from the hen do and wedding. At first, Caroline said she and Holly were close, telling the Daily Mail how she shared her fears that her son was pulling away. “I remember her words ‘You’ve got him back now, he’ll always be part of your family,'” she said.
This morning, Caroline shared a string of cryptic posts this morning, where she revealed she feels she’s ‘lost a piece of herself’ and admitted she was ‘praying for peace’ in 2026.

But tensions arose when Adam’s aunties were allegedly not invited to celebrate his engagement, prompting Caroline to text Holly. “I told her, ‘You know how important family is to you, as it is to me. My sisters are not coming to the party, they have been there all through Adam’s life.’ But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message.”
For Adam’s part, he insisted on social media that there “are always two sides to every story”, insisting, “I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times.” The feud reached its crescendo on December 27 when the wedding went ahead without Adam’s distraught mum. And while all eyes were on the guestlist and designer dresses, behind the scenes, yet more fuel was being poured onto the fire. Here are the biggest bombshells from the big day…
Name change
Adam wasted no time in shedding the old him following his wedding – and has already changed his name. The Olympian appears to have made a huge statement about his future by changing his name on social media. Two days after his wedding, the star has revealed he now goes by Adam Ramsay Peaty, in homage to his new wife.
The name change is the latest sign that Adam has distanced himself from his own family, after uninviting his parents from his wedding at Bath Abbey. Holly has followed hubby Adam’s footsteps and made the big name change official. Her Instagram account now shows off her new title – Mrs Holly Anna Ramsay Peaty.
Vogue deal
Most brides don’t bother with a coat for the nuptials, but Holly set tongues wagging when she arrived at the Abbey wearing a silk cape with a lace hood. She wore the same cloak to leave the service and the reason soon became clear – a Vogue deal.
It’s now been reported that Holly will be featured in Vogue on New Year’s Day and that is where her dress will finally be unveiled. She is said to have worn two different dresses during her reception, with one being her mum Tana’s from her wedding to TV chef Gordon Ramsay in 1996.
Gordon’s brutal wedding speech
The wedding was certainly a Ramsay family takeover, with proud dad Gordon Ramsay walking his daughter into the Abbey, and making a speech at the wedding breakfast, with the renowned TV chef holding no prisoners. The 59-year-old gushed over how beautiful his daughter looked, telling Adam he was a “lucky man” and said to look at Tana, his wife and Holly’s mum as it’s what he has “to look forward to” according to The Sun. “Shame you don’t have the same,” he slyly told Holly following the toxic fall out with her in-laws. In a move bound to have pained Adam’s own mum, Gordon then told Adam that Tana would be an “amazing mum” to them both. It was also claimed Adam failed to mention his family or parents in his own speech following reports he’s blocked their texts. Instead, he voiced his praise for his swim coach Mel Marshall for being his “everything” and for “grounding and inspiring him”. In a brutal dig to his estranged mother, he is believed to have said that Mel was “like a mum”.
Ramsay ‘plan’ claims
Caroline previously expressed worries about the Ramsay family’s influence and power, telling the Mail of her son: “He’s in Gordon’s clutches. I can’t help but feel like they are pulling him away from me. Their family is very insular.”
And now, in response to the father-of-the bride’s supposed speech, a family source fumed: “This was the Ramsays’ plan all along. They wanted Adam’s family gone and they have succeeded. You’d think that as parents, Gordon and Tana would have a bit more compassion towards Caroline, Mark and the family.” The source also then slammed sister Bethany – who served as a bridesmaid and was the only Peaty to be invited – for trying to “fit in” with the celebrity lifestyle, and said she had ‘betrayed’ her mum to see ‘what she can get out’ of being the only member of the family to get on with Holly and Adam.
According to reports, Adam told his dad Mark – via Bethany – that he could attend the service but would have to sit at the back behind the plus ones and would not be welcome at the reception. It appears that his father declined, choosing instead to stay with a heartbroken Caroline.
