Hen Party Snub Sparks Family Feud for Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty
What should have been a joyous pre-wedding celebration for Holly Ramsay has escalated into a significant family dispute involving her fiancé, Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, and his mother, Caroline Peaty. The 25-year-old daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay enjoyed a lavish hen weekend at the exclusive Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, surrounded by her mother Tana, sisters Megan and Tilly, and family friend Victoria Beckham.
Despite the appearance of a perfect getaway, one notable family member was conspicuously absent from the celebrations. Caroline Peaty, Adam's mother, was not invited to the hen party, a decision that has reportedly deepened existing tensions between the two families.
The Dress Dispute That Broke the Camel's Back
According to insiders speaking to The Daily Mail, the conflict reached its peak when Caroline purchased a dress to wear to the wedding, only to be informed that Holly and Adam did not approve of her choice. The couple allegedly offered to buy Caroline another outfit that they would select instead.
The situation worsened when plans for a shopping trip to Bath to find a replacement dress fell through. Train cancellations following a knife attack in Cambridgeshire prevented Caroline and her husband Mark from travelling, causing further frustration.
Adam's aunt, Janet, later claimed online that the dress disagreement was the final straw, writing that "Holly and Adam have broken my darling sister." Caroline herself shared a cryptic post that appeared to reference the ongoing rift, stating: "The ones I love are the people who hurt me the most. When you love someone, you protect them from the pain, you don't become the cause of it."
Wedding Invitation Heartache and Family Fallout
The consequences of the disagreement have been severe. Sources claim that Caroline Peaty is now "no longer welcome" at the wedding, scheduled to take place at Bath Abbey this Christmas. This means Adam's sister, Bethany, who did attend the hen party, will likely be the only member of the Peaty family present at the ceremony.
Adam's aunt Louise directly confronted Holly on Instagram, questioning: "You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother-in-law, to your hen night yet Adam invited his father-in-law, your dad, to his stag night."
Insiders suggest that cultural differences between the families have contributed to the tension, describing the Ramsays as "rich and they like the finer things in life" while characterising the Peatys as "much more down-to-earth." The couple began dating after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, and friends say the Ramsays "adore" Adam and appreciate the happiness he's brought Holly following her battles with mental health and addiction.
Despite the family dynamics at play, a source close to the situation confirmed: "Sadly, there's no reconciliation in sight" for the families before the Christmas wedding.
