The wedding of Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay, daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, was an eventful affair marked by both joy and drama at Bath Abbey on 27 December 2025.
Paparazzi Scuffle Overshadows Arrival
Extraordinary scenes unfolded outside the historic venue as the bride arrived with her father, Gordon Ramsay. A large press presence, anticipating tension due to a reported family fall-out on the groom's side, led to chaotic moments.
Despite a designated media area, some photographers broke away to pursue Gordon and Holly, resulting in a physical clash with security personnel in a narrow alleyway beside the church. The father and daughter were shielded by bodyguards and managed to enter the abbey without further incident.
Adam Peaty Criticised Over Family Snub
The drama was not confined to the church steps. Adam Peaty, 31, has faced significant criticism for his handling of family invitations. Reports indicate that the only member of his family in attendance was his sister Bethany, who served as a bridesmaid alongside Holly's sisters, Tilly and Megan.
A source revealed to The Sun that Peaty had invited his father, Mark, but only on the condition he sit at the back of the church behind plus-ones. "Frankly, it's disgusting that it went ahead without Adam reaching out to his mum and dad beforehand," the family source stated, adding that his mother, Caroline, was upset upon seeing the wedding photographs.
A Father's Proud Moment
Amidst the controversy, Gordon Ramsay shared a heartfelt tribute to his daughter and new son-in-law on social media. Alongside images from the day, he 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!"
He concluded his post with a simple, five-word remark that captured his emotions: "Couldn't be a prouder dad."
The wedding was attended by notable guests including members of the Beckham family and Dragon's Den star Sara Davies. The couple, who reportedly first met in 2021 through Holly's sister Tilly during their time on Strictly Come Dancing, have now officially tied the knot following a four-year romance.
