Adam Peaty’s Strictly Come Dancing co-star shares first glimpse inside ‘unforgettable’ wedding to Holly Ramsay at Bath Abbey

by

Dan Walker, who partnered with Adam Peaty on Strictly Come Dancing, has given fans their first look at Holly Ramsay’s ‘unforgettable’ wedding.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! Adam Peaty, MY Adam Peaty, just got MARRIED! To Holly Ramsay, Gordon Ramsay’s daughter! It happened on Saturday at this gorgeous place called Bath Abbey, and she looked absolutely breathtaking in a lace gown. I’m seriously obsessed with them as a couple!

TV host Dan, age 48, who was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing with Adam in 2021, shared a photo of their wedding program on Instagram, calling the day ‘wonderful’.

He wrote: ‘We had a lovely time celebrating with @adam_peaty & @hollyramsayy yesterday.

It was a fantastic wedding with lovely people and amazing service. The reception was unforgettable, the speeches were brilliant, and we even got to sing some great songs during the church service!

Holly Ramsay arrived at her wedding in Bath Abbey with her famous chef father, wearing a beautiful lace gown hidden under a large, flowing ivory cloak.

The influencer had a valid reason to feel nervous as she walked through the crowded onlookers on her way to marry Adam.

The couple’s seemingly perfect wedding hid a bitter family feud. The groom’s mother, and most of his family, weren’t invited to the celebration, with accusations of elitism and social climbing fueling the conflict.

As a mother myself, my heart absolutely breaks for Caroline. She’s Adam’s mom, and she couldn’t be there for what should have been such a joyful occasion – she lives over 130 miles away in Staffordshire. Everyone says she’s completely devastated, and honestly, I can’t imagine how painful it must be to miss a day like that.

Standing in front of the house where he spent his childhood, Adam, 59, told The Mail on Sunday he wouldn’t allow himself to be hurt like that again.

She had told yesterday’s Daily Mail that she felt as if Holly and Adam ‘have cut my heart out’.

Just before Adam Peaty entered the abbey with his son George, he received a heartbreaking text message from his aunt Louise, who hadn’t been invited to the wedding. Our newspaper has learned the details of this upsetting moment.

She wrote, expressing her hope that he would never experience the same intense pain he had caused their mother. Despite everything, she still loved him, and she expressed her disappointment and disapproval of both of them.

On this joyful day, and every anniversary of it, please remember the deep pain you caused your mother. Her heart still aches from it.

This family feud started in September 2024 when Adam and Holly didn’t invite many of their relatives to their engagement party, causing significant hurt feelings.

As someone who’s seen a lot of family dynamics, I always say it’s the little things that matter. It was a bit surprising to hear that Caroline, who dedicated years to getting her son to all those early morning practices, wasn’t included in Holly’s recent hen party at the super chic Soho Farmhouse. Especially considering Tana Ramsay and even Victoria Beckham were there – it just goes to show that even with all the glamour, sometimes important people get overlooked.

Despite everything Caroline sent a card and gift to her newlywed son for his 31st birthday today.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following the wedding news, and it’s heartbreaking to hear from those affected. Adam’s great-aunt Janet, who sadly wasn’t included in the celebrations, shared with The Mail on Sunday that she truly feels for Caroline – it’s a tough situation for everyone involved.

It’s shocking how he’s treating his mother, especially considering everything she’s done for him since he was little. It’s simply unkind.

Even though she was completely rejected and heartbroken, Caroline had warned she would still come to the wedding. If they didn’t let her inside the abbey, she said she would stand outside and watch from the street.

I was absolutely crushed yesterday when she announced she wasn’t coming after all! Apparently, her husband, Mark, talked her out of it, saying it would be ‘too upsetting’ for her. Honestly, I don’t get it, but he convinced her, and now I’m just… heartbroken. I was so looking forward to seeing her!

If she hadn’t ignored her son’s order, she would have been confronted by five security guards stationed before the abbey’s old, intricately decorated wooden doors. These doors were framed by columns of white roses and hydrangeas.

The Ramsays spent a significant amount of money on the wedding venue, reserving it for the entire day to keep the ceremony private. Typically, weddings at this venue cost about £2,500.

Gordon Ramsay, known for his fiery temper and successful career as a chef, was surprisingly well-behaved as he assisted his 25-year-old daughter exiting a black Rolls-Royce. The car arrived around 12:30 PM outside a historic abbey.

He leaned in and whispered something to her, then gently kissed her cheek. Meanwhile, someone was smoothing out her wrinkled clothes.

A cold wind whipped around them as they walked, and a crowd of people cheered ‘Merry Christmas’ as they went by.

The church was filled with famous guests eagerly awaiting the bride, including Sir David and Victoria Beckham – a couple known for having dealt with family drama in the past.

Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, the children of David and Victoria Beckham, were also at the event, as they’re good friends with the Ramsay family. However, Brooklyn Beckham wasn’t present.

Marcus Wareing from Masterchef: The Professionals and his wife Jane were also there.

The ensuing ceremony, one guest later told The Mail on Sunday, was ‘beautiful and very emotional’.

Holly, like her fiancé Adam who is deeply religious, insisted on a wedding ceremony held in a church. Their ceremony was especially meaningful thanks to George, Peaty’s son from a previous relationship, who had a significant part to play.

Holly’s bridesmaids were her sisters, Megan, 27, and Tilly, 24, along with Adam’s sister, Bethany. Bethany was the only member of Adam’s family included in both the wedding and the pre-wedding celebration for Holly.

Family members mentioned Bethany was chosen as a bridesmaid because she seemed to naturally fit into the glamorous lifestyle of the Ramsay family.

I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was Bethany, holding hands with Holly’s sister – the eldest sister, no less! – as they walked into the abbey. And the lilies… those gorgeous, pure white arum lilies! It felt like such a statement, a total rejection of everything her family wanted. It was breathtaking, honestly. It felt like she was finally choosing her path, and I was completely captivated.

The bridesmaids all wore flowing red dresses created by Victoria Beckham. Victoria herself chose a teal dress from her own line, costing £1,290, and the bride’s mother, Tana, age 51, also wore a dark green silk dress by the same designer. The groom, Peaty, styled his hair neatly and wore the same tuxedo as the bride’s father.

No one revealed who designed Holly’s beautiful, floral lace dress. The designer’s identity was a secret until Holly was safely inside the abbey, out of view of the cameras.

The wedding went smoothly despite the noticeable absence of the groom’s family. The couple left the church around 1:30 PM to the sound of celebratory bells and headed to their reception at Kin House, a beautiful Georgian manor house located 17 miles from Chippenham.

The wedding reception included a delicious meal with dishes like prawn cocktail, beef Wellington, and pan-roasted halibut, finishing with a tarte tatin. Traditional wedding cake was served at 8 p.m.

According to a source, Holly and Adam put a lot of careful planning into their event, and it all went exactly as they hoped. They were thrilled to finally share it with everyone.

Although the wedding ceremony and reception were kept very private, details will probably be included in a new Netflix documentary about the Ramsay family.

Caroline Peaty might finally get to see her son’s wedding when it airs early next year – it could be the first time she’s seen it at all.

Currently, the mother and son are still deeply estranged, unable to resolve their issues and repair their once-strong bond. It’s a situation where everyone hopes they can eventually find a way to be happy together.
