Doubt it.

She wasn't uninvited for her looks. She was uninvited because of shit posting on the internet and to the press.

damemaggiescurledupperlip · 28/12/2025 20:40

I find myself wondering: if she were 5 foot ten, a size 8, had had lots of work done and could carry off a VB satin tube, would she have been allowed to come? A it was, she would have stuck out like a sore thumb in the photos (because she looks like a normal middle-aged woman)

BettysRoasties · 28/12/2025 20:06

Even if his a social climber selling out or giving away your families shit is low. Low low.

Lochroy · 28/12/2025 19:59

I’m not taking sides because goodness knows what has actually happened, but FWIW, I fully suspect the Peaty’s are being paid and goaded by the Fail or some equally shonky interim agent, whereas the Ramsays will have a very slick PR machine behind them. So they come out of it looking dignified, regardless of the truth of what’s actually been said.

I wholeheartedly agree that his mum and especially aunt don’t come out of it looking great at present, but for all we know, perhaps he really has done a bit of social climbing and dropped them like a hot potato.

This is why I have sympathy for them, horrendous as what’s being reported sounds - they’re out of their depth. They should just stay out of the press. They’ve missed the wedding, it’s clear this method isn’t going to achieve anything except a paycheque.

MissMountshaft1 · 28/12/2025 19:58

They have sold their wedding publicity - hence the cape on the bride

gross!

it’s a story as old as time to turn your back on relatives when you think you have reached your “Great Expectations”

either that or yeah mum controlling - I don’t think she would have wrecked the day she just wanted to be there I’m sure

but yeah complaining about arrangements all the time must feel undermining

hope they can make it up in the future

Perimenoanti · 28/12/2025 19:04

It's obvious to me that he comes from a totally dysfunctional family. If an adult child estranges themselves it is 99.9pc on the parents. His mother and aunt are unhinged. This has probably gone on for decades and he finally managed to free himself. I feel for him. The final straw wasn't long ago and he just got married right after facing the reality that his mother is disordered and would probably do anything to spoil the wedding.

I'm sure they have received appropriate advice to not speak to the press. I bet they called the paps themselves.

aCatCalledFawkes · 28/12/2025 18:50

I might be wrong but surely they could of afforded to have their wedding somewhere more private rather than being all over the tabloids due to it being Bath Abbey.
I think speaking to the press would of been the Ramsey families worst nightmare and the final straw but also these people are regular people who aren't managed and have some had exposure to fame with Adam's swimming but not this much exposure. I find it really hard to believe that they were cut out for no reason whatsoever.

From what I can recall, Adam’s mother wasn’t happy that her entire extended family weren’t invited to the engagement party and she confronted Gordon Ramsay about it at the party and made a bit of a scene.

Yeah that makes sense- there’s been very little dignified behaviour from their side or at least the mother and the brother who is currently still on bail for threatening behaviour. FWIW my husband and I eloped because we I didn’t want to deal with my lot’s track record of bad behaviour so I do have sympathy for any couple in their situation.

A winter wedding and they’re all in satin/ silk and Tana with bare arms!! Could have had some fur or velvet to keep them warm.

I read mum was a bridesmaid

surely that must be wrong

Heathotstuff · 28/12/2025 18:31

Has he changed grow hair removed beard- doesnt even look like himself?

GingerbreadSkinnyLatte · 28/12/2025 17:32

The bridesmaids looked like their dresses were from a market stall.

I thought Megan Ramsay? looked good in hers

All that money and she had to wear that silly cape to get the publicity they crave - horrible to come out the church all draped up - I would think you’d want to march out with confetti etc etc

no amount of money would make me do that

The media coverage of this wedding and the whole feud is perplexing but I’m guessing the happy couple wanted that, given that the bride appears to have hidden her dress for a magazine deal.

I’m trying to not be invested but does anyone know why the feud even started? The groom’s family (at least some of them) seem
to be behaving with zero dignity since how did it even happen to begin with?

BettysRoasties · 28/12/2025 18:24

Peatys mum was going to wear cream.

The dresses were Victoria beckham dresses.

I reckon there must be a of peatys family online or cut off family members in general fighting their sides.

Because the only people who have acted badly are the ones firing off threats that get them arrested or selling their own child’s story to the press and sending shitty texts on the nephews wedding day. So Adam’s family members 😉

Putting my views on the bridesmaid dresses aside, wasn’t his mother planning on wearing white, or close to white?

Apart from the bride, I didn’t see anyone else wearing white.

I think so. I remember that story about the mum wanting to wear white. And it’s not being bridezilla to say hell no to that…

the dad saying “Adam isn’t empathetic to his brothers mental health” and then his brother physically threatening him and then turning up outside the wedding as well. His brother sounds like a total nutter.

Bath Abbey is an important landmark in Bath. It’s busy with both parishioners and visitors, given the time of year I’m sure there are lots of tourists who want to visit. I was simply highlighting the level of disruption caused for one wedding.

Wedding often take part in parts of the abbey that are not normally open to the public…maybe a bit of disruption when going in and out but the main abbey open as normal.

The bm dresses were absolutely hideous. What on earth were they thinking. Especially when it was reported that the bride didn't approve of his mother's dress choice for the wedding which was what kicked it all off.

His family are clearly toxic. Look at how they’ve carried on, repeatedly running to the press. The aunt seems the worst out of the lot of them. They’ve made fools out of themselves. No wonder he didn’t want them at the wedding.

She does, but there is no way she is doing it without his mother’s approval.

Meanwhile, Adam’s mum gets to play the victim and do the sad face pose for the Daily Mail.

Overtheatlantic · 28/12/2025 18:05

Seems like the daily mail have paid the Peaty family to talk to them. They did the same thing with Thomas Markle and the awful Samantha Markle. They target people who might have a small grievance and pay them (and these people want/need the money!), and then the whole thing blows up.

I find this obsession with people becoming distant with their families and the general public wanting to burn them at the stake so weird.

Adam Peaty’s mum has been talking to the press. That’s pretty unforgivable. Why do so many people feel the need to jump to her defence. You don’t know any of these people. Maybe Adam is embarrassed by his mum due to her working class background like some people suggest… that would be sad and not very nice. Or maybe his mum and her sister have been acting completely unreasonably and he has had to put his foot down. We don’t know. Also why is it his wife’s fault? Or Gordon’s Ramsey’s?

Brooklyn Beckham, again, who knows who is in the wrong, maybe it’s both, but why are you so angry about it? He’s not your son.

Strange obsession and embarrassing behaviour. Always quick to blame the wives too. Meghan included.

This is a good point. The minute the family member starts talking to the press I assume
they are the crazy one.

Adam’s family seem like absolute scum bags, and I don’t feel any sympathy for his mother at all.

Also, what about Adam's little boy? Have the grandparents been banned from seeing him to? Poor people 😥

If my parents minimised my sibling sending me death threats, defended them or enabled them, they wouldn’t be seeing my children either.

I agree with all of this.

They are an absolute embarrassment and seem to constantly stir.

I read today that the brother posted a photo of him and his mum outside the bath church on Adam and Hollys wedding day, (taken at a different date) with a song from The Godfather playing in the background - then deleted it.

I feel very sorry for Adam.
