Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay jet off on second holiday as he returns to work

Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty and wife Holly head to Romania for Sprint With The Stars competition after returning from their luxurious Mauritius honeymoon

Adam Peaty Ramsay and his wife Holly have announced they’re jetting off to Romania for a swimming competition, fresh from their honeymoon in Mauritius.

The pair, who tied the knot late last year, enjoyed a relaxing getaway following the family drama that unfolded at their wedding in Bath.

Now, 31 year old Adam is diving back into work, with his 26 year old wife cheering him on as he prepares to compete in the Sprint With The Stars swimming event. This unique, high-octane competition sees amateur youth swimmers go head-to-head with elite international swimming champions in a 50-meter sprint event.

In a charming photo, a beaming Holly looks radiant in a black Alo jumper, while Adam sports his Ray Ban sunglasses and a black T-shirt.

Flying economy on a commercial flight, the couple shared: “Taking off for Romania @sprintwiththestars, here we come!”

This update comes after reports suggest his family have told friends they’ve ‘given up hope’ of mending fences with their son following Gordon Ramsay’s recent remark.

The celebrity chef, aged 59, referred to himself as ‘dad’ in a comment on Adam’s wedding video where the Olympian declared he would ‘always choose’ his new wife Holly. In a touching wedding video shared on Instagram, Gordon penned: “Beautiful words @adamramsaypeaty True Love. Congratulations love you both so much dad.”

Gordon also left his followers in tears as he shared a sweet look at his daughter Holly’s wedding to Adam. All eyes were on the newlyweds following a highly public fallout between the Olympian and his parents.

The joyous occasion was marred by a bitter family row that resulted in Adam’s own mother being excluded from the ceremony, with his sister Bethany being the only family member from his side present on the day.

But all seems well with his new in-laws with the famous chef sharing a gushing tribute a reel of snaps from the big day last month, including a snap of the chef holding a microphone and delivering his now-famous speech. Posting on Instagram, an emotional Gordon described the day as a “moment I’ll never ever forget”.

He gushed: “One of the most exciting car journeys ever in a father’s life is on the way to the Church with your beautiful daughter, incredible conversations and helping her to stay calm and relaxed ahead of our walk down the aisle, @hollyramsaypeaty @adamramsaypeaty @tanaramsay a moment I’ll never ever forget.”

Both Adam and Gordon’s daughter Holly were quick to repay the sentiment in the comments section, with Holly saying: “I love you dad xx,” and Adam simply sharing three white love hearts.

Among the photos uploaded was Gordon and his daughter clutching each other’s hands on the journey to the ceremony. The was also a snap of the proud dad having a dance with his daughter in the evening party.

Other uploads showed Gordon and wife Tana with their daughter, and Gordon clearly enjoying sharing his speech with the crowd. The last image seemingly showed Gordon and Holly sharing the first dance together.

A number of followers shared memes of people in tears, while another wrote about Holly: “Okay but your dress.” After sharing a crying emoji face, they continued: “So beautiful! I hope to find something like it!”

Royal Family’s most popular member revealed – and two have lowest ever approval ratings

In a new survey, the British public made their thoughts about the Royal Family clear, with two people receiving their lowest ever approval rating

The most popular members of the Royal Family have been revealed – and it’s the Prince and Princess of Wales who have come out on top. And while William and Kate are the most loved members of the Firm among Brits, two other royals received their lowest ever approval rating in a new survey.

The poll, run by survey site YouGov, tracks the public’s favourability rankings among key royals, and despite their difficult 2025 amidst several scandals, the view of the Firm has remained largely unchanged. Coming out on top yet again were William and Kate, with more than three quarters of Brits seeing them in a favourable light.

William received the highest approval rating with 77 per cent, and Kate just behind with 74 per cent. Positivity is also high and unmoved towards Princess Anne, with 70 per cent of the public having a good opinion of the Princess Royal.

The King remains largely popular, with six in ten Britons (60 per cent) having a positive opinion of Charles, roughly double the 31 per cent who see him unfavourably. The public also tend to be fond of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, with around half of Brits (50-51 percent) having positive opinions of Prince Edward and his wife Sophie.

On the other end of the spectrum however, public opinion towards Prince Harry remains similarly negative to previous waves of the tracker, with only 31 per cent seeing Prince Harry positively.

Meghan Markle received her lowest approval rating to date, with just 19 per cent of Britons having a favourable view of the American Duchess. Unsurprisingly, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor also received his lowest ever favourability score, with just three per cent of Brits sharing a positive opinion of the disgraced royal.

In terms of the monarchy as a whole, attitudes towards the Royal Family remain mostly positive, with nearly six in ten Brits (57-59 per cent) seeing the Firm in general and the institution of the monarchy in a favourable light, though a persistent third (33-34 per cent) see both negatively.

Additionally, nearly half of Brits (47 per cent) say they are outright proud of the British monarchy, relative to just 19 percent who feel outright embarrassed, with a further 31 percent saying they are neither proud nor embarrassed of the institution.

The Royal Family had a particularly eventful 2025, with a slew of scandals relating to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor throwing the Firm into disarray. Allegations against the former prince continued to emerge throughout the year in relation to his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The numerous scandals resulted in King Charles officially stripping his disgraced brother Andrew of his HRH style and his prince title, and removed his dukedom from the Roll of the Peerage over his “serious lapses” of judgment. He was also evicted from the Royal Lodge on the Windsor estate, which has been his home for more than 20 years.

The move followed the publication of a posthumous memoir by Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, and the US government’s release of documents from Epstein’s estate. It emerged that Andrew had emailed Epstein in 2011 saying “we’re in this together”, three months after he claimed he had broken all contact with the billionaire paedophile. Andrew denies all wrongdoing.

Next’s ‘really warm’ £52 cardigan looks straight from Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors wardrobe

Next just launched the perfect country-chic cardigan that would look right at home in Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors wardrobe, and shoppers have praised it for being ‘really warm’

The latest season of The Traitors is almost at an end with just one week to go, but its legacy will live on much longer in Claudia Winkleman’s impact on fashion. The host and her stylist Sinead McKeefry have had a huge influence over winter fashion trends this year, with kilts, oversized knits and chunky loafers already making their way into our everyday wardrobes.

We’ve been spotting pieces popping up left right and centre which would look right at home amongst Claudia’s country-chic outfits, and one of our recent favourite spots is this Berry Pink House Knit Cottage Cardigan from Next. Priced at £52, it’s countryside meets whimsical with a cottage motif on the front, deep berry tones and an oversized fit, checking off all the criteria for a Claudia-approved bit of knitwear.

The cardigan features a zip-up front, with a high neck that’s perfect for keeping the chill away during the winter. It has a relaxed, oversized fit that’s calling out to be paired with some leggings or skinny jeans and a pair of chunky boots, and the colours are the perfect palette for embracing the countryside feel whilst still bringing a pop of colour.

It features an adorable cottage-themed print on the front, with patchwork motifs featuring cottages, flowers and birds, and comes in deep burgundy with pink trim. However the Berry Pink House Knit Cottage Cardigan manages to avoid straying too far into grandma-chic territory thanks to its metal hardware zipper, and the elegant high neckline.

Claudia herself isn’t shy of a whimsical print or two, most recently wearing a now sold-out duck-print cropped jumper from Burberry during this week’s episodes. We’ve also spotted some other playful cardigans elsewhere that are perfect for bringing Claudia’s style to your everyday wardrobe.

At Anthropologie, The Mariel 3D Icon Longline Cardigan (£135) has a longline silhouette with oversized lapels, and from the front looks like a simple beige cardigan. However the back features a large dog motif, bringing a little bit of fun to the otherwise simple design.

Meanwhile at Abercrombie & Fitch, the Double Zipper Western Cardigan is half price, down from £65 to £32.50, and features two horses on the front for an on-trend western feel. It also has a zip up front and a neckline which can be zipped up high or worn open in a lapel-style collar.

Back at Next, the Berry Pink House Knit Cottage Cardigan is a new launch that’s only just landed on the website, which means all sizes from an extra small to a 2XL are still in stock. It’s also only got two reviews at the moment, although they’re both glowing five star ones.

One shopper said: “I’m so pleased I bought this cardigan. I love it.”

Whilst the other agreed: “Got this a couple of weeks ago it’s really warm and holds its shape well.”

Tower heater that ‘warms up the space super quick’ is better than half-price in rare sale

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to keep warm this winter, this tower heater reaches 35° C in ‘just 3 seconds’ and is currerntly on sale for better than half-price

With energy bills on the rise and temperatures continuing to plummet this January, we’re all seeking a way to stay warm without spending a fortune. That’s where tower heaters could be just the ticket, thanks to their affordable running costs and their ability to heat rooms in a matter of minutes. But what’s more, this Living And Home Tower Heater is currently up for grabs for a whopping 53% less, thanks to Debenhams’ current sale.

Normally costing £80, this Midea 30 Inch 2KW PTC Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control is now selling for the massively reduced price of £38 while this deal lasts.

This ceramic fan heater is equipped with dual DC motors and reliable PTC heating technology, promising to reach 35°C in just three seconds. Unlike traditional PTC heaters, this heater generates warm air rather than burning, and it distributes it quietly and evenly throughout the room, keeping you comfortable and warm.

Compared with other electric heaters, this device is armed with a 30-inch heat shield and a 75° horizontal oscillation angle, with a 10% larger range and higher power than alternative models on the market.

Plus, this energy-saving fan heater boasts three heating settings (high, low, fan only) and an adjustable thermostat that lets you fine-tune the temperature to your preferences between 5 ℃ and 35 ℃. The ECO settings automatically adjust control based on ambient temperature, saving energy and money while in use.

This indoor heater is made of V0-grade, high-quality, flame-retardant material and features overheat and tilt protection to provide safety. After 12 hours of no input, the device will automatically shut down, ensuring comprehensive protection for the whole family, letting you wave goodbye to fears of leaving the heater running all day or night without supervision.

The ceramic fan heater comes with a 24-hour timer and an automatic shutdown function that can turn off the monitor after 60 seconds. This quiet heater (running at 34dB) is equipped with practical LED touch buttons and a remote control, making it easy to operate from anywhere in the room.

Though not boasting a wide array of reviews at Debenhams, one buyer who picked up this heater bestowed a 5-star rating, writing: “Easy to use and warms up the space super quick. Keeps the heat in even when the door is open!”

The same tower heater is on sale at Amazon for £49.99, where plenty of shoppers are also singing its praises. One customer raves: “I’ve been using this heater in our 4×5m wooden summer house over the last few weeks, and it’s been great so far. It heats the place in about five minutes, which honestly surprised me. The temperature control is handy and seems accurate, though I’ll need more time to see if the ECO mode actually saves energy. It runs quietly, spreads the heat evenly, and feels safe to use—even in a wooden cabin. The remote control is a lifesaver for sleepovers. No one needs to get out of their beds to turn it on and off. Overall, very happy with it so far, and hoping it stays efficient in the long run.”

Further praise comes from this reviewer, who does share one minor gripe: “A portable heater, I will be using this as the winter is coming and my bedroom is freezing with cold air. It’s fairly light and sturdy and it does a good job heating the room in just a few minutes, you can rotate it and move the hot air left and right to ensure it does not just face in one direction. It comes with a remote control which is a bonus when i get too lazy to turn it off or on. However, the noise is not to loud but no quiet either when close up, but i don’t mind it. It also blows cold air which is awesome, I can use it during the summer.”

And a third buyer beams: “I’ve been using this Midea tower heater for a week now, and it has completely changed my opinion on space heaters. My previous heater was a bulky, square box that was a real tripping hazard and took up so much floor space in my bedroom. The main reason I chose this one was its slim, tower design, and it has not disappointed. It fits perfectly in a corner next to my desk and is so much less intrusive.”

They go on to add: “Despite its slim profile, it is incredibly powerful. The 2000W setting heats up my medium-sized bedroom in just a few minutes. I love the three different heat and fan settings, and the digital thermostat allows me to maintain a perfect, consistent temperature. The remote control is a fantastic bonus – being able to adjust everything from my bed is a luxury I didn’t know I needed. The 24-hour timer is also great for turning it on before I wake up.”

Strictly’s Sara Davies shares unseen pics from Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s wedding 

Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay tied the knot in a high-profile wedding ceremony at Bath Abbey after Christmas – the happy occasion was marred by drama after a feud with Adam’s mum

Sara Davies has shared some unseen pictures from Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s very exclusive wedding, attended by A-list guests.

The Strictly star uploaded a handful of previously-unseen snaps of the big day to her Instagram account, telling fans in was “a fab day”. The nuptials took place at Bath Abbey in December, but the majority of Adam’s family weren’t invited.

In one photo, Sara – who became friends with Adam during the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing – could be seen laughing alongside fellow Strictly star Dan Walker as they sat at the dinner table. Another shot showed guests swinging their white napkins in the air as the newlyweds walked in.

Dragons Den favourite Sara could also be seen posing for a photo with Holly’s sister, Tilly, at the after party. Sara captioned the post: “Awwww just been sent the pics from the Peaty-Ramsay wedding – what a fab day! So grateful to have been there with @adamramsaypeaty and @hollyramseypeaty to celebrate such a wonderful day.”

Sara also thanked Gordon Ramsay and wife Tanya for being “amazing hosts”. Holly responded to the post, writing: “Loved celebrating with you!!” While many followers were quick to comment on how amazing Sara looked, others couldn’t help but point out the absence of Adam’s family for the occasion.

One fan wrote: “Wonder how Adam’s mum must be feeling seeing celebs at her sons wedding and she not there as a mum must be awful.” Another commented: “Not such a great day for his family though was it. But at least you all enjoyed it.”

A third chimed in: “So sorry but I cannot get over Adam’s mam and Dad missing their big day!! So very sad!!” Sara’s post comes amid reports that Adam Peaty’s estranged family are “trying to move on” after their huge family feud.

Caroline and Richard Peaty didn’t attend their son’s wedding – Adam’s mum wasn’t invited and it was reported his dad could only attend if he sat at the back of the church. “It’s been a really emotional time for them as a family,” a source told The Sun. “They’re coming to terms with what has happened and that Adam has picked his side.” They went on: “They’re keeping their heads down and trying to move on quietly. It’s clear Adam’s made his choice.”

Adam’s mum Caroline said on the eve of her son’s big day at Bath Abbey how his decision to cut ties had devastated her. Speaking to the Mail , she said: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.” She went on to explain how the fallout has affected the wider family during the festive period, adding: “This is the first Christmas that I’ve not had my family together – my family is broken.

“Yes, I have my other grandchildren. Yes, I have my other children, but my family is split because of the goings on…because of the wedding.” Adam’s brother, James, had been set to be a groomsman on the big day, but he, too, was uninvited, along with his parents. It’s claimed that Adam’s sibling had allegedly sent threatening messages to the swimmer and reports suggest Adam believed his parents were taking his brother’s side.

The only family member in attendance on the huge occasion was Adam’s sister, Bethany, who was a bridesmaid for Holly. She proudly stood at her brother’s side along with Holly’s sisters, Megan, 27, and Tilly, 24. Gordon shared a gushing social media post about the Olympian’s special day marrying the chef’s daughter Holly. The Kitchen Nightmares star called himself “dad” as he commented on a clip of Adam’s wedding speech.

Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips shows off 5 stone weight loss as she sizzles in pink bikini

This Love Island star showcased her incredible weight transformation to fans, as she revealed she looked back on her weight loss and vowed to bring her routine back

A Love Island star has wowed fans as she showed off her weight loss transformation – after losing previously five stone.

Former Love Island contestant Shaughna Phillips, 31, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a throwback before-and-after video showcasing her remarkable five-stone weight loss journey, before she got pregnant with her second child. The reality TV star looked stunning in a vibrant pink bikini as she placed two clips of herself before and after next to one another. In the initial clip, Shaughna is seen posing from the front and side in a bandeau bikini, revealing to her followers that she previously weighed 97kg (15st 2lbs).

The second clip sees Shaughna confidently modelling a halterneck bikini top with matching bottoms, proudly flaunting her slimmed-down figure after dropping to 61kg (9st 6lbs). The 31-year-old – who gave birth to her baby girl, Sofia Phillips-Webb, on Halloween last year – has now said she’s using the throwback clip as motivation to get her back into her old routine after giving birth late last year.

She announced in the caption of her post: “I NEED this in my life guys! Which is why … we’re bringing it BACK!!”

“After telling you all I was kickstarting shred it again for myself, I was blown away by how may of you wanted to join me, so consider the doors to the Shred It Plan club WIDE OPEN. As you probs remember, I managed to get into the best shape of my life last year following this plan – losing FIVE and a HALF STONE f**!”

The mum added: “It was NOT a quick fix – it took over 14 months to get there. So after dropping 5 dress sizes and deciding to add to my girl squad – here I am ready to shred like I’ve never shred before.”

However, the reality star recently admitted she is experiencing issues with postpartum swelling. Shaughna uploaded a video of her severely swollen feet to Instagram, joking: “The flip flops are staying for a while longer it seems”.

In the clip she rested her foot on a baby chair and wiggled her toes to show how puffed up they had become. Postpartum swelling is common as the body works to flush out excess fluids from pregnancy. While it eases up for most new mums within a couple of weeks, in some cases it can last up to six.

Shaughna announced Sofia’s birth in an emotional Instagram reel where she revealed that her daughter weighed 7lb 4oz, gushing: “Our littlest love has completed us in ways I didn’t even know was possible. The dreamiest experience for our perfect girl.”

She shared a photo of herself, her boyfriend Billy Webb, and their newborn, adding: “So many amazing photos to share with you all and I cannot get over how magical that experience was. I’ll have 20 more please!”

In another post, she revealed that November 6 had been her daughter’s actual due date, writing on a sweet snap of her sleeping baby: “Happy due date my darling”. She later debuted a gold necklace engraved with both her daughters’ names.

Sofia is Shaughna’s second child with her partner Billy. The pair also share a daughter called Lucia, who is two.
