Well its started.......AIBU to chuckle when the Groom has banished his family, and the Beckhams have been banished by Brookie? I mean, what can they say to him???!

Lady B’s dresses are all the same satin bedsheets looked like they were from Shein !

Victoria Beckham is a tacky woman with zero sense of style. I don't know why so many on here seem to look up to her. I sympathise with Brooklyn and Nicola for cutting them off. I also think Adam's mother and aunt sound like pieces of work.

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.

I hope that now the wedding is done they will start to lead a more private and dignified life. It really does seem to have been a toxic mess in the run up to the wedding. I've not taken enough interest to know who is actually to blame.

Hopefully Holly has some kind of career of her own rather than being one of Gordon's children. Adam is at the end of a top competitive career too so hopefully he can find something else fulfilling rather than just being in the media.

It's a shame that the dress was covered. It would have been nice to see what it looked like. I assume some magazine deal for the cash was her priority. The bridesmaid dresses were a lovely Christmassy colour but a dreadful style for the bridesmaids' figures. All 3 were not at all flattered by the high neck line. Possibly Holly's strategy to not be upstaged? Hopefully she made a better choice with her own dress design.

Adam has been running AP race clinics and runs a business through swimming creating events which allow young swimmers to compete against the best in Britain and internationally.

He’s doing a lot to Support swimming being more accessible nationally.

So has Adam Peaty - so has Brookie Becks

How do you know.

JHound · 28/12/2025 17:39

I do find it sad when ruptures occur in families but then you never know the true cause so that’s that.

HayceeDeeCee · 28/12/2025 17:38

Bridesmaid dresses were awful, badly fitting and cheap looking. Expected a lot more given how much money would be thrown at the wedding. Wish them all the best nonetheless.

landlordhell · 28/12/2025 17:37

Banished by Brookie? What does this mean?

I don’t understand why the daily fail is obsessed with these two and this wedding. The amount of stories is just ridiculous!

The Mail have spent time and money winding his family up and watching them go, its proved quite lucrative for them.

I think this wedding is an example of why there’s such hatred and divide between classes and those with money vs without. Totally inappropriate level of disruption Bath faced due to the wedding, buses diverted, hiring the church for the entire day so others couldn’t get into a literal church even after etc.

Cathedrals/abbeys often close to the public eg Winchester some years ago closed as preparations were being made for a flower festival next day. Same day the castle was closed due to an event for cadets/military never did find out, just couldn't get in. Totally wasted trip but last minute and I hadn't checked out access

They must have a deal with a magazine, she had her dress covered up.
Wasn’t keen on the BM dresses.
Flowers outside were fabulous.
It must be costing ££££.

I doubt the family feud would have led to Adam's parents not being invited to the wedding if they weren't in the public eye and at the mercy of this country's merciless press. Gordon Ramsay is a bullish, foul mouthed man who probably had an influence in the outcome. Adam's family must be heartbroken. They would have made sacrifices over the years to get their son to the Olympics. It's such a shame they have become estranged, missing her son's wedding will be a sadness for his mum forever. Also, what about Adam's little boy? Have the grandparents been banned from seeing him to? Poor people 😥

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

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

Quite frankly everything I’ve read about the family shows the mum, the aunt and the brother to be absolute psychos, I don’t get why Adam is getting such a bad press for disinviting them.

I mean the brother left such serious threats that Adam had to be police escorted off a plane.

from comments made by the dad and the mum, they seem to be downplaying his brothers actions entirely. And the aunt should just shut up entirely - sending vicious text messages to the bridge and groom on the day of the wedding, saying she hopes they always remember this bad feeling on every anniversary? No wonder they want nothing to do with her.

let’s be clear, we’ve only heard repeatedly from one side who keeps talking to the press. Adam has only said on statement, where he also pointed out that his sister has also been caught up in all this as well. So there’s clearly something significant happened that no one knows about.

if his family stopped going to the press every two seconds, it would probably be resolved.

Completely agree. His family seem toxic as fuck.

This! What's the big public interest? I've never heard of the bride (obviously her dad is well known, but I didn't know nor cared he had children), I've heard of Adam in the same way I've heard of other well decorated Olympians, but I know nothing nor care about his family. Yet their wedding is so well publicised, just why?

They do seem to think they are a very special couple.
I feel sorry for AP's Mum. It all sounds very hurtful.

It’s a church on a Saturday - who is that impacting??
how many Saturday services are there?

the church is probably thankful for the money tbh

So the bride didn’t invite her MIL to be to her hen do (who does?) and the MIL’s sister took to social media to complain - nice!

Then MIL compounds it by telling tales to the Daily Fail not once but twice - and she can’t see why AP has distanced himself from her??

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.

I think this was about the first I read of troubles. And agree, it doesn’t reflect well on his mum, but who knows what preceded it. Not us, that’s for sure. Such a shame he and his family have fallen out.

ThatJadeLion · 27/12/2025 20:44

Well I wish them all the best

Adam still loves only me and it's just a cover.
