Beckham's Cheeky Dig Over Wedding Costs Revealed in Ramsay's Netflix Series
In intimate scenes from the new Netflix reality series Being Gordon Ramsay, the famously hot-headed chef reads out a taunting text message from his close friend Sir David Beckham. The message arrived shortly after Ramsay's daughter Holly announced her engagement to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, with Beckham and his wife Victoria among the first to offer congratulations—albeit with a playful jab.
A Costly Comparison Between Daughters and Sons
"I had a lovely message from David and Victoria," Gordon Ramsay reveals on camera, before proceeding to share the text's contents. "David was winding me up about how expensive it is with daughters as opposed to sons. Like he's got one daughter and we have three daughters and one son, three sons s**t, sorry!"
The chef's hasty reading led to a momentary gaffe, momentarily forgetting his two youngest sons in the family tally. This light-hearted exchange underscores the long-standing friendship between the Ramsay and Beckham families, who have been close for many years.
Holly and Adam's Relationship Takes Center Stage
The series heavily features Holly Ramsay and her now-husband Adam Peaty, who married in a December 2025 ceremony. Gordon expresses clear approval of his new son-in-law, describing him as "so grounded" and "not walking out as Olympic champion with his head up his a**e."
Recalling the moment Adam asked for Holly's hand in marriage, Ramsay jokes, "I thought, 'F**k, he wants to borrow a car.'" For his part, Adam, 31, remembers the occasion as "quite daunting" but ultimately "a very wonderful moment" that brought tears to both parents' eyes.
Family Dynamics and a Public Rift
The show also touches upon more serious family matters. Gordon and Tana Ramsay address the public fallout with Adam Peaty's parents, Caroline and Mark, who did not attend the wedding. "It's just upsetting," Gordon states, insisting they've "done nothing wrong" and describing efforts to welcome the Peatys, including sending a chauffeur-driven car for their engagement party.
Ramsay clarifies that the decision to uninvite Adam's parents was not his own, saying, "It was Adam and Holly's wishes for them not to attend and so we had to respect that." He expresses a desire to travel to Nottingham with Tana to "draw a line in the sand" and smooth over differences.
Welcoming a New Grandson
Amidst the wedding preparations and family discussions, Tana Ramsay is seen embracing her role as a step-grandmother to Adam's young son, George. "It's happened very naturally welcoming Adam into our family and he comes with this incredible bonus which is this little boy George," Tana remarks. "Holly is absolutely smitten with him, which makes it even better."
Adam echoes this sentiment, noting how he observed Holly's interaction with George and the family's dynamics, stating, "when you marry someone you also marry into the family." He describes Gordon as "very fair, very respectful and also loves a good joke," highlighting their similarities.
Being Gordon Ramsay launches on Netflix on Wednesday, 18th February, offering viewers an unprecedented look into the chef's personal life, friendships, and family relationships.
