I can’t see anything that gives a clear reason.

The mother seems to have been extremely stupid in allowing the press into what should have been a private matter. Someone should have stopped it earlier but clearly now it is too late. Instead of a mild disagreement about an invite it’s a literal chasm being worked by the Daily Mail - who are enjoying every second and also writing about her in seemingly sympathetic but also subtly derogatory tone.

She was rude to Gordon
Off with her head!!!

I think it is less to do with her being rude to him, and more to do with her causing conflict and a scene at their children’s engagement party when everyone else is trying to celebrate and have a good time.

Apparently he's now changed his name to Ramsey Peaty, ouch!

I don't know but Peaty splitting with his partner and the mother of his child to marry into celebrity life leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

Oh did he cheat ??!

It’s about time somebody advised her to keep quiet.

I agree . It’s like Markle 2

The Peaty extended family have not played their hand well but if press reports about Gordon’s wedding speech are accurate that is unforgivable.

i agree with the PP who quoted Shakespeare “A plague on both your houses.”

HelpMeGetThrough · 29/12/2025 08:50

His mother and aunt have been stupid running to the press. I am sure they are enjoying what’s been reported so far.

As anyone with an ounce of intelligence realises, the press will build you up and when that becomes boring, will have more than enough to hand your arse to you on a silver platter. Give it time and they’ll make mincemeat of the Peaty’s.

TheChicDreamer · 29/12/2025 08:49

Like the Beckhams and the Peltzes, the Windsors and the Markles, and in fact many in the public eye, they both sound like pretty horrible, toxic families!

Can we not just say 'a plague on all their houses'? No-one's behaviour has been great. Adam's mum and her sister sound like total attention-seeking nightmares and Gordon Ramsay is a loud-mouthed bully.

It does have massive 'Thomas Markle' vibes and I'm sure that the Daily Mail have been waving their cheque book in Adam's mum's direction. This is right up their alley.

If none of them were famous, I can just imagine the post that the bride would have posted on Mumsnet titled 'my MIL-to-be is an over-stepping nightmare and wants to wear white to my wedding'.

You could say that but I actually think Peaty’s family has behaved worse and got themselves disinvited by their own.

To attack and humiliate their son in the media shortly before his wedding is a toxic thing to do. Then playing the victim when they’re the ones who kicked off in the press is hypocritical.

but her own mother was invited, so it is polite to invite future mil surely?

Not if she kicked off at the engagement. She presumably wanted her mum there and people who supported her, not her mil who has been running to the press, wanted to wear white to her wedding and prefers her partners ex to her.

No way did MIL need to be invited to the hen. I’ve never been to a hen with a MIL and only a couple with mothers if they were very close. It’s usually friends and siblings.

And really complaining about it to the papers has no class whatsoever.

I just want to know why it's the main top story on every online newspaper. Who cares about the ins and outs of the family of barely known celebs... One is literally the daughter of a TV chef!! Why should I care? Everyone's families are weird/complicated in some way. I don't know why she wasn't invited because I don't care enough to actually click on the news story!

You’re commentating on it though?

Avantiagain · 29/12/2025 08:25

"Think a lot of it stems from her probably preferring the ex girlfriend who baby trapped him as soon as she could and even though he tried his best, it didn’t last."

Yes he was forced to have sex and not use contraception.

bit stupid not to provide cloaks for the wedding party
and how awful not to invite the mum to the hen, bride's mum was invited
and according to the Sun the dad was told he had to sit at the back.
not sure how close adam was to his dad as it is All about his Mum

With the caveat that I had not heard of AP before his mum kicked off, and I couldn’t name any of GR’s kids:

By his mum’s own interview with the DM she said the issues were that she wasn’t invited to the hen; that she wanted to wear cream/white to the wedding with navy accessories and was asked to wear another colour, paid for by the couple; the Ramsays threw an engagement party for the couple to which some of the more distant family members were not invited; and that she felt her son was close to the Ramsay family and she was losing him.

She’s definitely lost him now.

Edited

I don’t understand why mum got upset about being asked to wear a different dress and not going to the hen do. These are fine. I wouldn’t expect to go to my daughter in laws hen do and I certainly would want to wear a dress which was suitable in the eyes of the happy couple. Not having the aunt at the engagement party I understand too, having seen the aunts poor behaviour since. I wonder what the aunt was like during APs childhood. Same goes for the aggressive brother. However I also fully expect the Ramseys are a nightmare too, just in a different way.

I agree, they all must have been freezing, especially Tana, who was sleeveless! Maybe bridesmaids had very thin silk thermals underneath? I'm a very cold mortal and must admit this has been my main thought about the wedding.

Yes I don’t understand why the bridesmaids and mob didn’t all have cloaks - they looked freezing.

I think some women can't deal with their partners mum. I'm sure I will get slated for this, but I see it all the time on MN.

The MIL is always the demon, they can't bear the fact that their partner has another woman that is important in their life. It is encouraged by other women and on sites like this.

See also Brooklyn Beckham.

No slating here, I agree! Not all women of course, but a fair few.
it's also weird how, as in the case of Brooklyn Beckham, when a man loses touch with his family and becomes enmeshed with his wife's, it must be because he can't be arsed keeping in touch with his own family, or it's his mum's fault. Yet on another thread on here yesterday where it was the daughter not keeping in touch, everyone was worried about her being in an abusive relationship. It does happen to men too!

Totally not the point of the thread, but BBC showed a video of them exiting the Abbey and into a car: there was someone behind the bride (helping her in the car) wearing what looked like a parka with a fluffy trim around the hood. Did anyone else see it? Yet the poor bridesmaids looked freezing in their dresses.

Totally not the point, I realise but for a bored hour yesterday I went down a rabbit hole of how to keep bridesmaids and guests warm during winter weddings.

I agree, they all must have been freezing, especially Tana, who was sleeveless! Maybe bridesmaids had very thin silk thermals underneath? I'm a very cold mortal and must admit this has been my main thought about the wedding.

TheaBrandt1 · 29/12/2025 08:10

The masses love it because we can think well I may not be wealthy successful beautiful with a snatched waist at 50 or getting married in an abbey but at least I’ve not fallen out with my mum/son/father delete as applicable.

She doesn’t help herself by running to talk to the media

The DM love a family estrangement story. They are using their lucrative Thomas Markle playbook on Adam Peatys mum. They dont have a big enough cheque book to do it to one of the Beckhams, but Mrs Peaty and Thomas Markle aren't doing DM sadfaces for free. They are selling stories about their children. Encouraged by a pretty disreputable publication.
