The highly anticipated wedding of Olympic champion swimmer Adam Peaty and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's daughter, Holly Ramsay, is shrouded in controversy just days before the ceremony. The couple, set to tie the knot on December 27, 2025, at the historic Bath Abbey, is facing online backlash and navigating a strained family relationship, casting a shadow over their celebrations.
Public Outcry Over Venue Booking
According to reports from The Sun, the decision by Peaty and Ramsay to book the entire Bath Abbey for their wedding day has not gone down well with the public. The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Bath is a popular historic site, especially during the holiday season. The couple's reservation means no other weddings or services can be held there on December 27.
While the wedding ceremony itself is expected to last around 90 minutes, the venue will be occupied for the whole day. This has been deemed "selfish" by some regular visitors and locals. Adding to the inconvenience, a private security team will patrol the area on the wedding day, restricting public access and preventing photography. In response to the criticism, a spokesperson for Adam Peaty has simply stated that the event is a "private, family wedding".
Family Feud Overshadows Nuptials
Beyond the public trolling, the wedding is also entangled in personal family drama. UK media outlets report a strained relationship between Adam Peaty and his mother, Caroline Peaty. This rift is so severe that Caroline has reportedly not been invited to her son's wedding. The tension reportedly extends further, with Caroline also being excluded from Holly Ramsay's hen party earlier.
The family discord appears to have escalated dramatically. It is alleged that Adam Peaty's brother threatened him, leading to police involvement. Despite these challenging circumstances and the online negativity, both Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty have chosen to remain silent on the matters, focusing on their impending union.
A Private Day Amid Public Scrutiny
The situation presents a stark contrast: a couple seeking an intimate, private wedding while being thrust into the spotlight for reasons beyond their control. The booking of a significant public heritage site during a peak time has inevitably led to public discontent. Simultaneously, the unfolding private family conflict has become fodder for public discussion and media speculation.
As the date of December 27, 2025, approaches, all eyes will be on Bath Abbey. The world will watch to see if the couple can successfully navigate the turbulent waters of public opinion and personal strife to celebrate their love, as originally intended, in the presence of their close family and friends.
