Gordon Ramsay has penned a touching wedding-day tribute to his daughter Holly as she prepares to wed Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, declaring himself “so lucky” to be welcoming the sporting champion into his family. The renowned chef marked the milestone by sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram accompanied by a photograph of himself with Holly. Gordon penned: “I’m truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son-in-law @adam_peaty! I love you so much @hollyramsayy and couldn’t be a prouder Dad xxx.”

One admirer replied: “Can’t wait to hear what a lovely day you’re all going to have. Enjoy the moments, spend time to watch the joy and love around you all. Have a perfect day.” Another fan gushed: “What a beautiful couple and they are so lucky to have the support from you.” Holly, 25, is poised to marry Adam, 30, today (December 27) in an extravagant ceremony at Bath Abbey, reports the Mirror.

The pair’s star-studded guest list is anticipated to feature members of the Beckham family alongside intimate friends of the Ramsays. Witnesses have reported that preparations for the nuptials commenced at Bath Abbey in the early hours of this morning.

Personnel arranged white roses throughout the abbey’s entrance, whilst establishing media enclosures and cordoned sections ahead of the distinguished guests’ arrival. Regrettably, the lead-up to the wedding has not been without its share of controversy.

Adam’s tense relationship with his own family has been making headlines in recent weeks, and according to insiders close to the Peatys, both of his parents are being left out of the ceremony.

Earlier in the week, the Sun reported that although Adam’s mother Caroline had contemplated attending the wedding uninvited, she ultimately chose not to.

A family member stated she did not want to spoil the couple’s special day, and also described the situation as too distressing to bear in public. The feud is thought to have originated from tensions during Holly and Adam’s engagement party last year, which was filmed for Gordon’s forthcoming Netflix documentary.

Sources have alleged a dispute over the guest list and filming arrangements led to a clash between Adam and Caroline that later spiralled into a wider family breakdown.

The divide between Adam and his family only deepened in November when his mother was not invited to Holly’s hen do. Adam’s aunt Louise Williams criticised the couple online, and later claimed Caroline had been excluded from the wedding due to concerns about her appearance.

Caroline also voiced her feelings, stating she felt like she was being edged out of her son’s life. Adam’s mum characterised the Ramsay family as “very insular”, and seemed to suggest that he was prioritising his in-laws over blood relatives.

However, she then implored: “But please, the message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point.”

Adam subsequently broke his silence with a public statement, acknowledging the dispute and pleading for understanding, while maintaining there were “two sides to every story”. Now, only his sister Bethany is anticipated to attend the wedding.
