Gordon Ramsay’s explosive wedding day speech Celebrity chef says wife Tana ‘will be a good mum’ to Adam Peaty in brutal swipe at Olympian’s absent parents as ugly family feud intensifies

At his daughter Holly’s wedding to swimmer Adam Peaty on Saturday, Gordon Ramsay apparently made a harsh joke at the expense of Adam’s parents during his speech.

Olympic athlete, 31, married influencer Holly, 25, on Saturday at Bath Abbey. The reception was held at the luxurious Kin House. The wedding took place despite a family disagreement, leading to his mother, Caroline, not being invited.

Okay, so things are still pretty tense with the situation, and it’s been interesting to watch unfold. I’m hearing from reports that Gordon Ramsay has publicly expressed support, saying his wife Tana will be a wonderful mother figure to all the children involved. It sounds like things are really strained, as one source says Adam has actually blocked his family’s attempts to reach out to him. It’s a tough situation, and everyone involved needs space to navigate it.

During his speech, Gordon complimented Holly on how lovely she looked and told Adam he was fortunate to be marrying her. He then pointed to his wife, Tana, saying Adam could expect a similar happy future with Holly.

The article reports that Gordon made a hurtful comment to his daughter Holly, seemingly referencing Adam’s parents. He reportedly said, ‘It’s a shame you don’t have the same,’ implying Adam didn’t have the same family support.

During his speech, Adam focused on his swim coach, Mel Marshall, calling her his biggest support and source of motivation, and didn’t talk about his family or parents. He credited her with keeping him grounded and inspiring him to succeed.

In an emotional moment he also reportedly said that she saw Mel ‘like a mum’ due to her support.

According to a source, the Ramsays intentionally worked to remove Adam’s family, and they’ve now achieved that goal.

It’s surprising that Gordon and Tana, as parents themselves, don’t seem to have much sympathy for Caroline, Mark, and their family.

Representatives for Adam and Gordon have been contacted by The Daily Mail for comment.

Holly arrived at her wedding at Bath Abbey with her famous chef father, but she dramatically revealed her lace gown only after walking part of the way cloaked in a large, flowing ivory cape.

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 painful family conflict. The groom’s mother, and most of his relatives, weren’t invited to the event, with accusations of elitism and social prejudice fueling the rift.

Honestly, it absolutely broke my heart to hear about Adam’s mom, Caroline. She lives over 130 miles away in Staffordshire and was devastated she couldn’t be there for what should have been such a joyful occasion. Everyone said she was completely heartbroken, and I can’t imagine how painful it must have been for her to miss what should have been one of the happiest days of her life.

Standing in front of the house where he spent his childhood, 59-year-old Adam told The Mail on Sunday, ‘I won’t let this happen to me again.’

She had told 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’d caused their mother, and acknowledging that, despite everything, she still loved him. She ended with a strong condemnation of both of them, simply stating, ‘Shame.’

On this joyful day, and on every anniversary of it, please remember the deep pain you caused your mother – a pain that continues to haunt her.

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.

Caroline wasn’t invited to Holly’s fancy hen party at Soho Farmhouse last month, despite years of driving her son to training and the presence of guests like Holly’s mother, Tana Ramsay, and Victoria Beckham.

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

Adam’s great-aunt Janet, 73, who wasn’t invited to the wedding yesterday, shared with The Mail on Sunday that she feels deeply sorry for Caroline.

It’s shocking how he’s treated his mother, considering everything she’s done for him since he was little. It’s simply unkind to treat someone who has given so much with such disrespect.

Let me tell you, dealing with difficult family situations is something I see all the time. In this case, poor Caroline was completely heartbroken and excluded, but she was determined to be near the wedding, even if she wasn’t welcome inside. She actually said she’d show up at the abbey and, if they wouldn’t let her in, she’d just stand outside on the street and watch – can you imagine the drama? It was a really tough spot for everyone involved.

She explained that she decided not to go because her husband, Mark, felt it would be too distressing for her.

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

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE how much the Ramsays spent on the wedding venue! It normally costs around £2,500 for a wedding there, but they basically rented the whole place out for the entire day! Can you imagine? They did it all to keep the ceremony completely private, which, honestly, just makes me even more obsessed with them! It was so secretive and exclusive, and I’m living for it!

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

He leaned in and whispered something to her, then gently kissed her cheek as someone adjusted her 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 waiting to see the bride, including Sir David and Victoria Beckham – a couple who have experienced family drama of their own.

Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—the children of David and Victoria Beckham, and good friends of the Ramsays—attended the event. However, Brooklyn Beckham was not 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’.

Similar to Adam, who is deeply religious, Holly wanted their wedding to be a religious ceremony. George, Peaty’s son from a previous relationship, reportedly had a significant part in the service.

Holly’s bridesmaids were her sisters, Megan, 27, and Tilly, 24, plus Adam’s sister, Bethany. Bethany was the only member of Adam’s family invited to both the wedding and the pre-wedding hen party.

Family members mentioned Bethany was chosen as a bridesmaid because she seemed to naturally fit into the Ramsays’ sophisticated lifestyle.

Some viewed Bethany’s action – joining arms with Holly’s older sister and entering the abbey with white lilies – as a deliberate act of rebellion against her family.

The bridesmaids’ dresses were red and flowing, designed by Victoria Beckham. Victoria Beckham herself wore a teal dress from her own line, costing £1,290, and the bride’s mother, Tana, also wore a dress by the designer – a dark green silk gown.

Peaty, meanwhile, slicked back his hair and wore the same dinner suit as his new father–in–law.

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, away from the cameras.

Honestly, the whole wedding was lovely, even though it was a little sad not seeing Peaty’s family there. But other than that, everything went smoothly and they officially became husband and wife without a hitch!

The newly married couple left the church around 1:30 PM, greeted by celebratory bells. They then drove to Kin House, a beautiful Georgian manor house located 17 miles from Chippenham, for their reception.

The wedding reception included a delicious meal with prawn cocktail, beef Wellington, and pan-roasted halibut, finishing with a tarte tatin. A traditional wedding cake was served later that evening at 8pm.

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 are expected to appear in a future Netflix documentary focusing on 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.
