Insiders close to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty have defended his family as 'a normal hard-working bunch' amidst an escalating public feud with the family of his fiancée, Holly Ramsay. The row erupted after Peaty's mother, Caroline, was not invited to the couple's upcoming wedding.
The Source of the Conflict
According to sources, the situation appears 'rather unedifying' as supporters of Holly Ramsay, the 25-year-old model and daughter of TV chef Gordon Ramsay, have been taking aim at Adam's family. It was suggested that Caroline Peaty, a 59-year-old former nursery manager from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, was excluded from Holly's hen do because she 'might have stuck out a bit' at the lavish Oxfordshire event.
An insider defended the Peaty family, stating they are a 'normal, ordinary' family without the media influence or resources of the wealthy and famous Ramsay clan. The source said, "The Peatys don't. They are a normal hard-working bunch who have suddenly found themselves up against one of Britain's richest and most influential families."
A Dress Disagreement and Cancelled Plans
The conflict is believed to have intensified after a disagreement over a wedding outfit. Caroline Peaty had initially been invited to the wedding and purchased a dress for the occasion. However, Holly and Adam reportedly did not approve of her choice and offered to buy her another outfit themselves.
A planned trip to Bath to find a new dress was subsequently cancelled. The cancellation was due to train disruptions following a knife attack in Cambridgeshire, which prevented Caroline and her husband, Mark, from travelling. Instead of attending the hen do, Caroline babysat her grandchild, Adam's son from a previous relationship.
Family Backlash and Celebrity Comparisons
The decision to exclude Caroline from both the hen party and the wedding has caused anger among her supporters. Adam's aunt, Louise Williams, recently took to social media, writing, "The difference between me and a lot of people is that I'm not afraid to be disliked. I don't give a f*** who you are supposed to be."
The guest list for the wedding, set to take place at Bath Abbey next month, is reported to include the Beckhams, who are close to the Ramsay family. A friend of the couple drew a parallel to another high-profile family rift, noting the feud 'smacks of the way Nicola Peltz has been accused of being the reason for Brooklyn Beckham cutting his parents off.'
