Tana Ramsay, Holly Ramsay’s mother-in-law, recently shared a heartfelt message about how those closest to us can sometimes cause the most pain, following a continuing family disagreement.
A disagreement over a hen party invitation has led to a surprising outcome: 59-year-old Caroline Peaty has been excluded from her son Adam’s wedding to his fiancée, Holly, 25.
Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, a popular social media influencer, celebrated her upcoming wedding with a party at the exclusive Soho Farmhouse. She invited her mother, Tana, along with close friends Victoria Beckham and Adam’s sister to join the festivities.
Honestly, it was a bit of a surprise to hear that the swimmer’s mom wasn’t invited – she played such a huge role in his journey to the Olympics! Instead of being at the event, she was back home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, happily looking after her five-year-old grandson, George. Family definitely comes first, but it was a noticeable omission.
Okay, so Caroline just posted the most interesting thing on Instagram! It was this picture with a quote on it, and it totally got me thinking. It said, ‘When you love someone, you protect them from the pain, you don’t become the cause of it.’ Seriously, I’ve been staring at it for like, an hour. It feels like she’s sending a message to someone, and I’m desperately trying to figure out who! It’s just… everything about it is so loaded, you know? I’m obsessed with deciphering it!
She captioned the post with: ‘The ones I love are the people who hurt me the most.’



Caroline reacted to a follower’s comment expressing sympathy and stating that mothers deserve love and respect, and that no one should try to prevent that.
Someone familiar with Adam’s family said the problem started after the swimmer grew apart from his mother. They believe he was influenced by the lifestyle of the wealthy Ramsay family, with whom he’d become close.
The situation was complicated by Adam – a three-time Olympic gold medalist – choosing to invite his future father-in-law, Gordon Ramsay, to his bachelor party, while his own mother wasn’t invited to the pre-wedding festivities for his bride in the Cotswolds.
Louise Williams, his aunt, publicly criticized Holly on Instagram after feeling hurt that her sister wasn’t invited to an event last weekend. She accused Holly of causing division and being unkind.
Louise was furious with Holly for ignoring her future mother-in-law, someone who had been incredibly welcoming and kind. She explained that Holly’s actions deeply hurt her sister, and it would likely take a very long time for her to recover, if she ever did.
I was happy to hear you enjoyed your bachelorette party. Every bride deserves that! However, I was really hurt by how you treated someone I care about deeply – someone I still 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, his future father-in-law, to his bachelor party.
You invited so many people – your mum (which was great!), her assistant, your sisters, and friends, even my niece! But you didn’t invite my sister, or your future mother-in-law.




I’ve seen messages between you and Adam discussing this and other things, and honestly, I’m disappointed in both of you. You’ve really hurt my sister, and it will take a long time for her to recover, if she ever does.
Holly and her fiancé, 30-year-old world champion swimmer Adam, were reportedly very upset by the post. The couple has been together for over two years and plans 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 from his aunt. He told her she wasn’t welcome at the wedding and that she would no longer have a relationship with his son, George, or any future grandchildren.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen family dynamics play out in so many ways, and this one is particularly heartbreaking. I recently came across a message where Adam declared he was cutting ties with his family – the very people who had supported him throughout his entire career. It’s a really tough situation, and highlights how even with support, relationships can sometimes fracture.
Caroline sparked a big reaction after sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram. She wrote, ‘Sometimes you cry when words just aren’t enough to describe how much pain you’re feeling.’
Caroline’s social media post received many supportive and concerned comments from friends, with one person writing, ‘Don’t let them get to you, Caroline.’
Someone else commented, pointing out that despite both individuals claiming to support mental health, their actions didn’t seem very considerate of others’ well-being.



The comment alluded to Holly and world champion Adam’s widely known battles with mental health. Adam had to step away from competitive 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. to drive him to training with the City of Derby swimming club – a forty-minute trip each way.
For over three years, she followed a demanding 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 close to Adam’s family believes his relationship with his mother started to fall apart around the time he began dating Holly. They described the situation as deeply upsetting.
Adam Peaty and Holly Willoughby first connected in 2021 while both were participating in the show Strictly Come Dancing – Tilly, Holly’s sister, was also a contestant that year.
Let’s talk about Adam and his relationship journey. He and George’s mom, Eirianedd, went their separate ways in 2022, and it wasn’t long before he found love again. He and Holly started dating in May of 2023, and things moved pretty quickly – they were officially a couple just a month later! It’s always lovely to see people finding happiness.
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.
It’s honestly a bit sad to see how Adam’s changed since getting together with Holly. She’s from such a different world – all glamour and celebrity – and it’s really gone to his head. He used to be such a sweet, down-to-earth guy, everyone loved him, but he’s just not the same anymore. He’s become quite full of himself, and it’s a shame, because we all remember the lovely, humble boy he used to be.
According to a source, Adam’s parents made huge sacrifices for him, even going into debt to support his training as he pursued his dream of winning an Olympic medal.



They added: ‘Caroline is devastated by the rift and doesn’t know what she has done wrong.
Adam is having serious problems with his parents, Mark and his mother, and she’s decided not to attend his wedding.
She was really enthusiastic about helping and had volunteered to create beautiful name cards for the table, since she’s very crafty, but someone told her they didn’t need her assistance.
It’s been so tough watching everything fall apart. Things have gotten really tense, with a lot of arguments, and honestly, the atmosphere has been incredibly difficult. I’m just heartbroken for Caroline; she’s completely devastated that it’s come to this. Seeing her like this is just awful.
It’s really sad to hear that Caroline and Mark’s relationship fell apart, especially since they always prioritized and fully supported Adam’s career.
Okay, so everyone’s saying things started changing with Adam the moment Holly came into the picture. It’s like he just…drifted away from his family as they got closer, you know? And honestly, I’ve heard whispers that money’s playing a part in all of this drama. It’s just awful to see, honestly. I’m so worried about everything!
Adam’s family comes from a working-class background and they’re proud of it. This is quite different from the Ramsay family, and some family members feel like Adam is embarrassed by where he comes from.
Currently, Adam’s sister Bethany is the only family member expected to attend the wedding, as the hotel costs are proving too high for the rest of his family.
Honestly, it just breaks my heart to hear this about Adam! Apparently, a family member told the Daily Mail that he’s totally changed – like, he’s forgotten all about his roots and thinks he’s too good for his own family now. They said it’s incredibly hurtful and just plain mean, and I can’t even imagine how awful that must be for them. It’s just…so disappointing to hear, especially since I’ve always admired him!
Adam’s mother went to great lengths to support his goal of competing in the Olympics, but now he’s cut her out of his life.
‘She was so happy when he and Holly got snagged and opened her heart and home to her.’
Mrs. Peaty and her husband, along with the rest of the family, received wedding invitations, and Caroline was thrilled to buy a dress for the occasion.
However, the source says the celebrity and his future wife weren’t happy with it, so they offered to purchase a different gift they preferred.
The Peatys received a gift of train tickets and a hotel stay for a shopping trip to Bath, and they happily accepted it.
The trip didn’t happen as planned because train service to the south was disrupted. Several stabbings on a train in Huntingdon two weeks prior caused delays and cancellations.
Caroline and Mark weren’t able to go on the trip. Adam was furious they’d missed it, complaining that his money was wasted and he wouldn’t get it back, rather than reschedule.
It’s truly unfortunate. He may be incredibly wealthy, but you never know what private struggles someone is facing. It’s a sad reminder that we only see a small part of people’s lives.
‘Adam doesn’t really want or need his family anymore.
‘It is heartbreaking to see this once normal, close-knit family fall apart.’
According to a source, Mrs. Peaty received an angry phone call from her son and several text messages on Sunday, shortly after celebrating a friend’s engagement. This happened while she was returning her grandson, George, to his father’s home.




Caroline selflessly watched George instead of going to the party, but a relative responded to a post on Holly’s Instagram with hurtful comments directed at her.
Oh my gosh, Adam! I still remember exactly where I was when he won his first Olympic gold in the 100m breaststroke back in 2016 – I nearly screamed! And then, to do it again in 2020… well, 2021 actually, because of the whole Covid thing and the Tokyo games being delayed… it was unbelievable! Like, winning the 100m again was amazing enough, but then he went and grabbed another gold in the mixed relay too! Seriously, he’s just… perfect.
Two years ago, he said the intense pressure of competitive swimming had left him emotionally shattered and he never wanted to swim again.
After battling depression, with support from his family and Holly, he made a remarkable comeback at the Paris Olympics. He won a silver medal in the breaststroke, narrowly missing gold by just 0.02 seconds.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m always thrilled to see how people celebrate life’s big moments! Last Friday, I shared some photos from my incredibly fun pre-wedding bachelorette party at the gorgeous Soho Farmhouse with all my favorite people – friends and family alike. It was the perfect start to the wedding festivities!
She looked beautiful in a white outfit as her mother, Tana, and sisters Megan and Tilly, along with swimmer Tom Daley’s sister Bethany, joined her to start her weekend-long celebration.
Holly kicked off her bachelorette weekend by sharing photos on Instagram, where she has almost 400,000 followers. She wrote a caption expressing her love for her sisters and mother.


In one photo, she wore a long wool coat over a long-sleeved shirt and wide-leg jeans. She completed the look with cream-colored sneakers and a sweet white bow in her hair.
A photo showed her and Tana holding hands while at a beautiful, private location in the Cotswolds, surrounded by 100 acres of Oxfordshire countryside.
Another photo revealed a lovely table setup with a custom champagne bottle and mugs marked ‘Bride’ and ‘Team Bride’.
Later photos from the weekend revealed Holly wearing a short white dress, heels, and a bridal headpiece. Some pictures also showed Holly and her guests wearing face masks featuring swimmer Adam Peaty’s image.
One photo featured her with her guests, including Victoria Beckham, and she captioned it with a message about how much she enjoyed the weekend, saying her ‘girls’ had given her the best time and expressing her happiness with a heart emoji.
Holly and Adam declined to comment.
