Adam Peaty’s Strictly Come Dancing partner hints she was snubbed from wedding

By in Entertainment News, News

Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty and Russian dancer Katya Jones were paired up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, but it appears she didn’t attend his wedding.

Adam Peaty’s Strictly Come Dancing partner, Katya Jones, was absent from his wedding to Holly Ramsay. The nuptials have been controversial for a range of reasons, including family drama and the ongoing Beckham feud, also drawing a cloud over the proceedings.

But reality show fans were surprised to note that 31-year-old Adam’s Strictly partner Katya, 36, was not among the stars attending the event. Adam and Katya competed on the BBC dance show in 2021, and made it through seven weeks before being booted from the ballroom in ninth place.

Stars including David and Victoria Beckham, celebrity chef Marcus Wareing, and Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies were said to be in attendance. But Katya was not among the stars despite reportedly having a good friendship with the Olympic swimmer.

Russian dancers were not featured in the lavish wedding photos and footage, and she made a hint on Monday that she spent the weekend relaxing at home rather than attending the celebrity wedding. Katya made a comeback on social media with a bang while updating herself on her Stories and catching up on her reading habits and distancing herself from “toxic” drama.

After posting a string of throwback images from the latest season of Strictly, the dance professional then shared a snap of herself curled up beside a fire with her dog and a book in her lap. In an accompanying caption, the TV star urged her fans and followers to turn their backs on social media and take a break from the apps.

She mused: “I’ve been off social media for a week. Had Instagram and TikTok deleted. Hence, the sharing of the old post now. And let me tell you – what a gift it is to be present in the real. To fall into the world of your imagination, reading a book, allow your mind to become peaceful again, heart grateful for what we have, get rid of the toxic energy and stop chasing.”

She added: “I’d recommend you do it. Trust me, you won’t miss much – but you will gain tons.” The Mirror has contacted a representative of the dance star for comment.

Members of Adam’s family were prohibited from attending the wedding ceremony, which has raised tensions among the couple’s families. After revealing they had been denied access to the glitzy affair, the athlete’s mother and brother have been in the news for weeks.

Meanwhile, proceedings were obscured by the Beckham family drama. Brooklyn, the eldest son, viciously attacked his parents and siblings after allegedly ruining his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz, causing a furor among the family.

The couple reportedly declined to attend Sir David’s 50th birthday celebrations this year and pointedly declined to invite any members of his family to a second round of nuptials that took place in August.

However, Holly’s big day was ruined by her and Brooklyn’s together adolescence while Gordon Ramsay and Dave, their well-known fathers, pursued success in the USA. Once close, Holly and Brooklyn celebrated milestone birthdays, including their 18th, and traveled the world together.

Brooklyn reportedly declined to attend the wedding because his family was present. Gordon and the Ramsay family are said to have been in anger about his actions, but reports also suggest that they left a “door open” for him to return to their lives. Representatives from the Beckham and Ramsay families have been contacted for comment by The Mirror.

Molly-Mae Hague admits ‘never again’ as she books long-haul flight with Bambi

By in Entertainment News, News

Although she and her partner Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi flew to the Maldives, Molly-Mae Hague has vowed never to book a night flight with a child.

Molly-Mae Hague shared a glimpse of her lavish holiday with fans after posting a series of snaps from her Christmas holiday in the Maldives. The first sweet snap on her stories was a black-and-white image of Tommy, 26, cuddling his daughter on the sofa as the pair slept.

And this was when Molly-Mae reminded herself not to book a night flight with a toddler. She wrote: “Reminds self to never book a night flight with toddler again.” In another picture, the former reality TV star turned entrepreneur looked completely relaxed while standing on the beach holding her daughter.

Molly-Mae can be seen sporting a black baseball cap and a black dress in the photo. Fans witnessed her staring into her daughter’s arms while holding her daughter in her arms in front of a backdrop of a crystal blue sea.

That post, which she named “Landed in Paradise,” was the caption. Tommy and their daughter can be seen relaxing on a hammock in the third photo.

Remi Wolf’s song was played during the video. Fans discovered their festive season in the Maldives at this time.

Earlier this month it was reported that Tommy and Molly would be spending Christmas together following their public split earlier this year. Back in 2019, the pair first met on Love Island and had been inseparable since.

Taking to her YouTube, Molly-Mae told fans: “It’s actually hilarious we’re hosting Christmas Day because I couldn’t be any less organised for that. But do you know what? Tommy’s family are so chilled, and I’m just so chilled that I don’t really think anyone really cares.”

The mum of one went on to say: “I don’t think they’re really expecting much, to be honest. I think we’re just all going to be together. We’re going to have Christmas dinner.

She continued, “I believe I’m cooking half, and Tommy’s mother is cooking half, and she is preparing the meat and potatoes.” But I also need to prepare for that.

Just a few weeks after his proposal, Molly-Mae confirmed their split in a statement from August of last year. Never in a million years did she think I’d ever have to write this, she said to the audience at the time.

After five years of our relationship, Molly-Mae continued, “I never imagined our story would end, especially not in this way.” I’m so devastated to learn that Tommy and I have a new relationship.

She continued, “My beautiful daughter is the most important thing to me right now and forever. She will always be my priority because without us, she wouldn’t exist.

I want to thank everyone who has shown us so much love over the past five years. You have all played a role in our journey, and she said, “I think it’s appropriate to share this with you all.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s key staff member quits in latest blow to pair

By in Entertainment News, News

The Mirror’s most important employee for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quits in the most recent blow to the pair.

Skip to the main article

Need to be aware

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a reputation for having aides who quit on them, which is not good for them in the USA.

What you need to know about the aides who have left their positions with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

    After decades of service, their most dependable advisor has stopped working with them, severely hurting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The royal couple has dealt with a lot of staff, but eleven publicists have also left their jobs.

  • James Holt, who had been hailed as Prince Harry and Meghan’s “rock,” quit over the 2025 Christmas season. He had previously served as the couple’s executive director of the couple’s charity, the Archewell Foundation, during their contentious exit from the UK, during Harry’s autobiography, Spare, and before that.
  • Holt assisted the couple in managing their lives as they turned their backs on the UK and moved to California, where he moved with them to continue working. He was their PR from 2019 until 2021. He also addressed their working relationship in their Netflix documentary. However, he is said to have left their organization and left to move back to the UK with his wife and child and start a new life. However, he will have a transition period during which he will continue to support the couple and their charity.
  • He stated in a statement that he had spotted a kindred spirit that would never waver in the face of difficulty and who would never waver in spite of circumstance when they met Meghan. The work we’ve done together to help victims of online harm will continue to be my most meaningful professional endeavor above everything else. These families inspire me every day and are extraordinary. My family and I are now moving back to London after five incredible years in Los Angeles. I’ll be a huge fan and optimistic about what lies ahead when I take the team-leader position at Archewell Philanthropies in the upcoming months.
  • Holt is not the only person to stop working for Harry and Meghan. After just ten months, Meredith Maines, the pair’s chief communications officer, was made known earlier this week.
  • After just three months of working with the couple, Emily Robinson, Harry and Meghan’s director of communications and former PR executive, quit earlier this year. She made her decision, a source told the Daily Mail in October. She left a few weeks ago. Because she doesn’t give up, things must have been pretty bad for her.
  • The Sussexes have a reputation for having high staff turnover since moving to the US, with Josh Kettler, Harry’s former chief of staff, only spending three months there. In a Vanity Fair magazine cover story earlier this year, a report in the Hollywood Reporter claimed Meghan “belittles people” and “doesn’t take advice.”
  • Josh previously addressed the couple’s claims that they were difficult to work for, saying: “They are dedicated and hardworking. It was fascinating to witness. And he continued, adding that both them and their Archewell team “warmly welcomed” him.
  • Ashley Hansen was hired by the Sussexes as their global press secretary in May 2022, but she resigned in October 2024. The PR announced at the time that she was leaving the duo to launch her own business, Three Gate Strategies.
  • Kyle Boulia left the couple’s press office in April 2024 and became their press secretary and director of communications in June 2025. After he left, he updated his LinkedIn profile to read, “Most recently, I served as Director of Communications at Archewell, where I oversaw global press operations, crisis response, and global launches with Netflix, Spotify, and major philanthropic initiatives,” shaping narratives that reached hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
  • From April 2024 to July 2025, Charlie Gipson served as the couple’s European Communications Director. He stated on his LinkedIn profile that he had “led the UK and European media strategy, delivered high-impact communications for their global charitable initiatives,” that he had also “provided senior counsel on strategic planning and crisis management, supported international engagements, and led campaigns that reached billions worldwide.”
  • Toya Holness served the couple’s press for nine months, starting in October 2020 until July 2021, before moving on to become the pair’s head of communications. She was praised by royal fans for dressing similarly to Meghan. However, she left Activision Blizzard after 11 months and began working there.
  • In May of this year, Prince Harry appointed Josh Kettler as his chief of staff, and he was responsible for shepherding the Prince “through his next phase” while adapting to life outside of the UK. He took part in meetings involving Harry’s Invictus Games project and provided tours abroad, but he abruptly left after just three months.
  • Christine Schirmer is another well-known senior communications advisor who has collaborated with the couple. She started her position at Archewell in October 2020, moving up to senior advisor in 2021, and leaving in 2023.
  • Miranda Barbot started out as a communications manager for Archewell and rose to the position of director of global communications in October 2022. She served the couple’s charity until October 2024. However, according to reports, she switched from being the couple’s chief of staff to working there.
  • Deesha Tank served as the Sussexes’ main PR agent until June of this year, but she resigned. After quitting her position with the royals in June, she started out as a communications manager for the couple in 2022 and later rose to the position of director of communications in 2024.
