With her wedding to Olympic champion Adam Peaty just weeks away, Holly Ramsay has posted a series of provocative lingerie images that a body language expert claims sends a "clear message of determination and resilience" amid an escalating family rift.
A Defiant Countdown to 'I Do'
The influencer and daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, 25, is set to marry the swimmer, 30, in a lavish ceremony at the historic Bath Abbey on December 27, 2025. The star-studded guest list is reported to include David and Victoria Beckham. However, the celebrations have been overshadowed by a bitter dispute, with Adam's mother, Caroline Peaty, reportedly barred from attending.
In an Instagram post captioned "iiit’s Wedding Month", Holly posed in a Victoria's Secret bralette and briefs, accessorised with a full-length bridal veil. Speaking exclusively, body language analyst Judi James interpreted the images as a powerful statement. "There's a clear message of determination and resilience," James noted. "Holly is showing she's hell-bent on enjoying her big day... no matter what dramas are swirling around her."
James highlighted that the outfit resembled athletic wear, focusing attention on Holly's muscular arms and ribcage to suggest "physical and emotional power". She added that the veil and the pose seemed designed as a "strong reminder" to Adam that the day belongs to them alone.
Family Tensions and a Mother's Heartbreak
The glamorous wedding preparations have been marred by a serious family fallout. Tensions reportedly flared after Caroline Peaty was not invited to Holly's hen do at the exclusive Soho Farmhouse. The situation escalated when, according to Adam's aunt Louise Williams, Caroline learned she was completely uninvited from the wedding after missing a shopping trip due to train cancellations.
In a social media rebuke, Louise Williams addressed Holly directly: "I expected better of you and definitely of Adam. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever." It has also been alleged that Adam has prevented his mother from seeing her five-year-old grandson, George, his child from a previous relationship.
Further complicating matters, other members of Adam's family have reportedly said they cannot afford the accommodation costs for the wedding, with one relative on Universal Credit telling The Sun, "I can't afford that." Some have claimed the Olympian is "ashamed" of his working-class roots.
Despite the painful exclusion, Caroline Peaty told Mail Online she has still bought the couple a gift from their registry and plans to send a card, though she fears it may not be opened. She expressed a lingering hope for reconciliation, stating, "If he changed his mind, I would go... I love him, he's still my little boy."
Stag Do Drama and Police Involvement
The feud took a more serious turn during Adam's stag celebrations. The swimmer allegedly received "increasingly abusive and threatening" text messages, which prompted a concerned Holly to contact the police. This led to the arrest of Adam's 34-year-old brother, James, at his home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, on suspicion of harassment on November 11, 2025. He was later released on bail.
Adam's father, Mark, addressed the conflict between his sons, telling The Sun the situation had "got out of hand" and appealed for more empathy towards James's "genuine mental health difficulties".
Amid the ongoing controversy, Adam Peaty broke his silence on Instagram. He wrote about working to "improve myself as a person" and navigate "these challenging times". He concluded, "Bethany, Holly and I will get through this... there are always two sides to every story." His sister Bethany is now understood to be the only family member from his side still attending the wedding.
