Holly Ramsay's Wedding: Beckham Influence & Family Feud Overshadow Big Day
Holly Ramsay's Wedding: Beckham Influence & Family Feud

This Saturday, all eyes will be on Bath Abbey as model Holly Ramsay, 25, and Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, 29, tie the knot in a star-studded ceremony. While Victoria Beckham is set to be the A-list guest of honour, it appears another member of the Beckham clan has exerted a more subtle influence on the bride-to-be: Nicola Peltz-Beckham, the wife of Brooklyn Beckham.

Copycat Style: Holly's Social Media Homage to Nicola

A close look at Holly Ramsay's social media posts over the last two years reveals striking similarities to the style and content shared by Nicola Peltz-Beckham, 30. The parallels are uncanny, suggesting Holly has been taking close inspiration from her childhood friend's wife.

Earlier this year, Holly showcased her figure in a sizzling black bikini on holiday. The snap was almost identical in pose and style to a swimwear photo Nicola posted back in 2023. Furthermore, last week Holly shared a bathroom selfie featuring her shirtless, tattooed fiancé Adam Peaty. The setup was eerily similar to one Nicola staged with her husband Brooklyn in 2023.

The mimicry extends to fashion choices. Both women share a love for racer jackets; Holly donned one at this year's Formula 1, while Nicola famously wore Victoria Beckham's iconic 2001 leather jacket in 2024. In another instance, Holly was seen in a leggy red leather look in January 2024, mirroring an outfit Nicola wore in October 2023.

A Wedding Overshadowed by a Bitter Family Feud

Despite the glamorous preparations, a toxic and very public family feud threatens to cast a shadow over the celebrations. Adam Peaty's mother, Caroline, has been barred from attending the wedding service at Bath Abbey on December 27.

The rift reportedly began in November when Caroline was not invited to Holly's lavish hen party at Soho Farmhouse. The situation escalated with public claims from both sides, including allegations that Holly and Adam asked Caroline to change her chosen wedding outfit. Tensions are said to have started even earlier, during the couple's engagement party, which was filmed for Gordon Ramsay's upcoming Netflix documentary.

On Christmas morning, Holly and Adam were seen holding hands on a family walk with her parents, Gordon and Tana Ramsay. In stark contrast, Adam's estranged parents, Caroline and Mark, were pictured looking downcast near their Staffordshire home just two days before their son's wedding.

Exclusive Venue Booking Sparks Local Backlash

The couple's wedding plans have also reportedly caused discontent locally. They have allegedly block-booked the historic Bath Abbey for the entire day of December 27 for their 90-minute ceremony.

While hiring the abbey typically costs around £2,500, the pair are thought to be paying several thousand more to secure exclusive use. This means tourists will be denied entry, and no other weddings can take place, with security stationed to prevent onlookers from taking photos. A notice posted at the abbey confirms it is 'closed all day for a wedding'.

One local resident criticised the move, calling it "rather selfish" to hire the venue for a whole day for such a short service. Representatives for Adam and Holly have been contacted for comment regarding these claims.

As the final preparations are made, the wedding presents a tale of two families. While the Ramsays and Beckhams celebrate, a core member of the Peaty family will be conspicuously absent. With Holly's apparent style emulation of Nicola Peltz-Beckham and Victoria's presence at the hen do, speculation is rife about the dynamics within the extended Beckham-Ramsay circle, especially given the reported estrangement between Victoria and her own daughter-in-law, Nicola.
