Holly Ramsay is branded ‘divisive and hurtful’ by Adam Peaty’s aunt for banning his mother from her hen do in a furious rant

by

Adam Peaty’s aunt has publicly criticized Holly Ramsay, calling her behavior ‘divisive and hurtful‘ after she prevented his mother from attending his upcoming wedding celebration.

The 25-year-old influencer didn’t include her fiancé’s mother, 59-year-old Caroline Peaty, in her elaborate pre-wedding festivities in the Cotswolds, causing tension. The situation was further complicated when her fiancé, Adam, invited celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay – his future father-in-law – to his bachelor party.

Caroline chose to stay home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, and care for her five-year-old grandson, George, while her future daughter-in-law celebrated with her mother, Tana, along with friends Victoria Beckham and Adam’s sister.

According to a family friend, swimmer Adam reportedly grew distant from his mother after becoming involved with the glamorous world of the Ramsays, leading to a perceived estrangement. The source, who is familiar with Adam’s working-class background, said this change in behavior seemed to cause a rift between them.

Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, publicly criticized Holly on Instagram after her sister wasn’t invited to an event last weekend. She accused Holly of being intentionally divisive and causing pain by excluding her sister.

Louise was furious with Holly for ignoring her future mother-in-law, reminding Holly that she had been incredibly welcoming and generous. She explained that Holly’s actions had deeply hurt her sister, and the damage might not ever fully heal.

She wrote, ‘@hollyramsayy, I’m so happy you had a wonderful bachelorette party! You deserve it as you prepare to be a bride.’

Despite any other qualities, your actions caused pain and division, especially towards someone I care for very much and continue to love.

She welcomed you into her life and home, but you chose not to include her – your future mother-in-law – in your bachelorette party. Interestingly, Adam invited your dad to his bachelor party.

You invited so many people – your mum (which was lovely!), even her assistant, your sisters, and friends, plus my niece. It’s just surprising my sister and your future mother-in-law weren’t included.

I’ve also seen messages between her and Adam discussing this and other things. Honestly, I expected more from both of you, but especially from Adam.

‘You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.’

Holly and Adam have reportedly banned Adam’s mother, Caroline, from their wedding due to a significant family disagreement.

The post caused significant distress to Holly and her fiancé, Adam, a 30-year-old world champion swimmer. The couple, who have been together for over two years, are planning to marry at Bath Abbey this Christmas.

Someone close to the Peaty family shared that the swimmer deeply upset his mother by contacting her after a social media post by his aunt. He told her she was no longer invited to the wedding and wouldn’t be allowed to see his son, George, or any future grandchildren.

Adam told his mother in a message, obtained by the Daily Mail, that he planned to cut ties with his family, even though they had always supported his career.

Caroline sparked a lot of discussion when she shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, writing, ‘Sometimes you cry because words can’t describe how much pain you’re feeling.’

Caroline’s post received many supportive and concerned replies from friends, with one writing, ‘Don’t let them get to you, Caroline.’

I was really struck by a comment I saw recently. Someone pointed out that, given both individuals present themselves as champions of mental wellbeing, their actions didn’t seem very considerate of my emotional state. It was a valid point – we should practice what we preach, right?

The comment alluded to the widely known mental health challenges faced by Holly and world champion Adam. Adam had stopped competing in swimming in 2023 after a difficult three years where he struggled with depression and alcoholism.

Throughout Adam’s swimming career, his mother was his biggest cheerleader. She famously woke up at 4 a.m. when he was young to drive him the 40-minute trip to practice with the City of Derby swimming club.

For over three years, she followed a grueling schedule. She’d wait with him for as long as two hours before taking him home, then heading to her job managing a nursery. Meanwhile, her husband, Adam’s father Mark, worked as a caretaker at a Lidl supermarket.

Someone familiar with Adam’s family says they think his strained relationship with his mother started when he began dating Holly. They describe the situation as deeply upsetting.

Adam and Holly first connected in 2021 while both were contestants on Strictly Come Dancing, alongside Holly’s younger sister, Tilly.

Adam and Eirianedd Munro, who share a son named George, ended their relationship in 2022. He started dating Holly in May 2023, and they publicly confirmed they were together the next month.

According to a source, Adam’s relationship with his mother has been strained because he feels his original family doesn’t measure up to his new one.

Since Adam started dating Holly, he’s really changed. She’s used to a glamorous, celebrity lifestyle, which is different from his family’s background, and it seems to have gone to his head – he’s become much more self-centered.

‘He’s no longer the lovely boy next door we all remember.’

According to a source, Adam’s parents made huge sacrifices for him, even going into debt to support his training for the Olympics.
