Gordon Ramsay’s wedding speech sparks controversy amid Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty family fallout

Holly Ramsay, daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, married Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty in a high-profile ceremony at Bath Abbey on December 27, 2025. While the event drew a guest list including celebrities such as David and Victoria Beckham, it has also become the center of a public family dispute after comments made during Gordon Ramsay’s father-of-the-bride speech.

According to multiple reports, Gordon Ramsay’s speech included remarks about the absence of Adam Peaty’s parents — who were not invited to the nuptials — that some found offensive. Speaking to the guests, Ramsay praised his daughter’s appearance and told Peaty he was a “lucky man.” He then reportedly gestured towards his wife, Tana, and said, “Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to,” before following with the comment, “Shame you don’t have the same.” The remark was widely interpreted as a pointed reference to the missing parents of the groom.

The speech also included a remark that Tana Ramsay “will be a good mum to them both,” which some in the Peaty family viewed as a direct criticism of Adam’s own mother.

Adam Peaty’s mother, Caroline Peaty, previously told MailOnline that she felt deeply hurt by the family’s exclusion from wedding events and by the speech. A family source described Gordon’s remarks as “outrageous” and “very hurtful,” suggesting they were a deliberate reference to the ongoing family tension. Caroline said the situation felt like her heart had been cut open and questioned whether her children understood the importance of family.

Earlier reports indicate that relations between Peaty and his family had been strained for weeks leading up to the wedding, starting with the exclusion of Caroline from Holly’s hen party at Soho Farmhouse. Only Adam’s sister Bethany attended the wedding from his family.

While neither Holly Ramsay nor Adam Peaty has publicly elaborated on Gordon’s remarks in detail, the controversy continues to shape broader commentary about the couple’s first major public family event and the fractured relationships behind the scenes.
