Holly Ramsay has officially kicked off the countdown to her Christmas wedding with Adam Peaty — and she’s doing it her way, despite the bitter family feud that continues to overshadow the couple’s celebrations.
In a glamorous Instagram post on Monday, Holly wished Adam a “happy wedding month” after receiving what she called a “pretty surprise” from her future husband. The 24-year-old also shared two striking snaps of herself posing in a Victoria’s Secret Bridal two-piece while wearing a delicate veil, captioning the post: “iiit’s Wedding Month.”
But behind the glossy pictures lies a family drama so intense it has shaken the build-up to their big day. Adam recently stunned the public when he uninvited nearly his entire family from the ceremony — leaving only his sister Bethany on the guest list — after his mother Caroline was excluded from Holly’s luxurious hen do at Soho Farmhouse. The event featured Tana Ramsay, Bethany, and even Victoria Beckham.
Insiders now claim the fallout didn’t start with the hen do at all — but months earlier at Holly and Adam’s engagement party, which is set to appear in Gordon Ramsay’s new Netflix documentary. The party, filmed under strict NDAs and phone bans, reportedly saw Caroline upset that certain family members weren’t invited, leading to tensions with Gordon.
A source said the engagement party marked “the beginning of things going downhill,” with several grievances simmering below the surface even then.
In the days following the hen-party snub, members of Adam’s extended family unleashed their fury publicly. His aunt Louise accused the couple of excluding Caroline due to her appearance, adding that Holly and Adam allegedly told her to change her outfit for the wedding. Meanwhile, Bethany — the only Peaty relative still invited — is said to have been embraced because she “fits into” the Ramsays’ glamorous world, with sources describing her as “blonde, pretty and dazzled by the lifestyle,” even being asked to be a bridesmaid.
Adam eventually broke his silence, posting a heartfelt Instagram statement defending himself, Holly and Bethany. He insisted “there are always two sides to every story,” adding that the trio were determined to get through the “challenging times.”
He also hinted that the family drama is tied to “an ongoing police investigation into serious matters that arose long before recent events,” preventing them from saying more.
Despite the turmoil, the couple are still set for a grand Christmas ceremony at Bath’s historic Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul — though the guest list may be one of the most contentious in celebrity wedding history.
