Hmm, I have 2 theories:

  1. She didn't think his mum fit in her shallow aesthetic, based on the photos I've seen of the guests and the do as a whole.
  2. His mum doesn't necessarily approve of the partnership- looking at the timeline described in the article, from when they met to when they apparently got together, I wouldn't be surprised if his mum had sided more with the mother of his child.

Before anyone says, if you don't know who they are, read the article. Yes there are more important things to worry about in the world, I can think about more than one thing at a time.
This is purely my opinion, so hopefully I can't be sued.Wink

When one side is playing poor us look at how he won’t support us.

You know which side is wrong. Greedy

When one side is supporting the person making threats to the other.

You know which side is wrong. Victim blamer

For peatys side it’s all about how his indebted to his mother for those 4am swims and drives. She wanted to wear cream and berated the bride for who was invited to the engagement party. Not her son. They are running to social media and the press to sell and spill.

Sure the Ramseys and other celebs are by far from perfect or innocent but they have their own codes for privacy they don’t go spilling on insta and selling sit down with the daily mail. They might leak via a someone close to the family not quite as bad.

They are not going out with daggers because what someone won’t fund their life? Someone won’t let a volatile bully (brother) attend. They won’t support and play happy families with someone who will oh but it’s your brother. they were all invited originally yet it’s only his sister who seems to have any decorum or shut mouth. Which also says she sees what’s going on and is either team Holly and Adam or just knows how to behave full stop.

Peatys family seem a bloody liability when it comes to attempting to keep what is let’s face it a celeb event without leaks.

Peaty himself spoke out about 4am starts and pushy or known as “supportive” parents within swimming like his own mother. Remember he at one point didn’t want to ever see a pool
again.

A family who cares doesn’t vilify their loved one in the press. They wait to support and rescue if needed. All they have done is push him away if he ever did need support or help though their own blabber mouths and greed since being poor seems to come up at
much.

Aka ‘you have to suck up what I’m dishing out, but as soon as you respond I’ll whine and play victim’. How convenient.

No idea what this means but if I'm distraught because my mum sells a story about me to the Daily Mail and then I leak a story about them to the Daily Mail, albeit through my PR team that would be a smidge hypocrital in my book.

The Ramsay’s PR didn’t make the brother behave in a way that got him arrested for harassment.

Course they didn't, I don't think I ever suggested they did.

I’m not sure what’s difficult to understand.

It isn’t hypocritical to defend yourself in the same arena you were attacked in. Defence =\ attack.

Not responding would be allowing his mother to shape the narrative entirely to her liking, and invite public ire towards him, his fiancée and her family in the run up to his wedding. At the very least the arrest becoming public does clearly demonstrate that the situation isn’t what his mother made it out to be.

You seem to be taking more issue with the news of the brother’s arrest being made public than you do with the brother behaving in a way that got him arrested.

I have no issues with the brothers arrest being made public and don't understand where you've dreamt that up from. I'm not going to make judgement about if it was warranted or not (like Glinners arrest) or if that means the brother is a scum of the earth person until more details are out there. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

I have never ever said that the Peaty family were right to go about it the way they have as I don't think they were and I think one day they will probably regret it. I think a lot of this is caused by hurt feelings and misunderstandings on both sides. I just don't think that makes them all the devil incarnate.

I dunno. If my mum gave a story to the DM about me before my wedding I don’t know that I’d ever speak to her again.

But if gave my side to the press for balance it wouldn’t be because I condoned speaking to the media or because I wanted anything with it, but simply because anyone publicly attacked in the media has the right to reply.

I think that's fair enough and as I said I think she'll regret this.

Believe it or not I wouldn't blame him if he gave a full on interview like his mum did. I'm not a fan of leaky PR spin as it feels more devious and underhand (and I mean that in general. I don't have any anti Adam vendetta). I just dislike that element of grapevine whispers. If you've got something to say then say it.

OnlyOnAFriday · 15/11/2025 20:06

Someone asked earlier how he makes money/affords stuff, I looked on Companies House at his accounts…..certainly not short of a bob or two. Good for him.

It's all very 'lower class'.

If you are saying only lower class families fall out have you never heard of the royal family?

Desdemonadryeyes · 13/11/2025 09:55

I know someone who was at University with Peaty. She doesn’t have a good word to say about him.

Adam didn’t go to university. He trained at Loughborough uni pool as part of a high performance squad but never studied there. This person might not be as reliable a source as you think.

I can see why they’d rather leak rather than a cringe interview That’s want the royal family does after all (excluding Andrew obv).

It’s very lower class to publicly do so.

Think council estate arguments screaming and shouting inthe streets. That’s what his family is doing but because he and her are famous it’s in the press.

Very much what his and her friends won’t want to be around and nor will her family.

They have isolated themselves by being blabber mouths.

Harry’s blabber is exactly why the public won’t accept him back even if his dad did. You can’t trust him and we all feel that. A brother sister mother or father telling our secrets. It breaks trust. Smash a plate and even if you glue it back together you will see the cracks still. It’s never the same.

Netcurtainnelly · 15/11/2025 21:03

Money talks, they probably paid privately.

Netcurtainnelly · 15/11/2025 21:17

TheFairyCaravan · 15/11/2025 09:20

I think the whole thing is really sad.

She probably wanted her sister at the engagement party because she’d have more in common with her than with Vicky Beckham. I can just see it now, all the rich and famous socialising with the Ramsay family who they’ve known for years, while the few who were invited from the Peaty family were alone in a corner, not knowing anyone. Maybe it was wrong of her to ask, but if Holly’s aunts and uncles were there, why couldn’t Adam’s go?

The 4 outfits is ridiculous to me, and moaning about wearing cream is just silly especially when she said she was pairing it with navy accessories. There’s no mistaking who the bride is at a wedding. This poor woman is 60years old, apparently she has fibromyalgia and uses a stick at times. Are people going to think “ooh there’s a second bride over there” if she’d worn cream and navy, are they heck!

It feels like it’s 6 of one and half a dozen of the other to me, however I do think Adam has had his head turned by the Ramsay’s fame and fortune and is looking down on his family a bit.

All this over a wedding that probably be over in 10 years anyway.
Dictating what people should wear and having multiple dress changes.

I know someone like this. Had a really pony wedding, different venues and changes of clothes.
Some were talking behind his back and a couple of family members didnt go.
Its showing off pure and simple. Five years later the guy was divorced anyway. The showing off waste a time anyway.
Who the duck do people think they are demanding this and that.
Just duck off and go and get married in a registry office. Don't bore people and put pressure on them with your dress code demands.
Adam Peatys first girlfriend was pregnant as soon as they met. He's only known Ramsays daughter a few years. Slow the duck down.

Haha could you imagine.

No mum I said peach that’s orange!!
No it’s not it’s peach!!
Mum you cannot come to my wedding in a bloody orange dress!! let us pay for you to get another dress.
Strops.

Not far off @BettysRoasties 😆. Do you also do lottery numbers!

She wanted to buy a cream outfit and went on: "He told me 'Only a bride wears white,' to which I replied, 'It's not white, it's cream.'

Unfortunately not for a few years. I had one those déjà vu dreams before where a few days later I was alike I swear I’ve seen this before 😅 stood in the same place having the same conversation but so far lottery numbers evade me. Sadly.

So what though? She comes from a celebrity family, why wouldn’t she accept the opportunities open to her as a result? Why wouldn’t she live as she wants to when she’s in the position to? It’s not like she needs to prove herself to anyone. She’s not actually done anything wrong.

Defines what you define as a celebrity , hes a chef, one with no class either.

OneKeenPeachRaven · 15/11/2025 22:06

Unfortunately hanging around with the wealthy and famous requires discretion. Putting 'vaguebooking' style sad posts online about how hurt you are and blabbing secrets to your sister who has then gone on and on for days yelling like the proverbial fishwife on the internet isn't that.

Cream at a wedding is a faux pas for many people and most people would accept that.

Unfortunately I suspect she's been taken in by the press who have made here look tactless, classless and not terribly bright.

That might be bad enough, but she surely knows he makes his living based on his reputation and good name. If she really truly loves him and wants the best for him, why are she and her sister trying to tarnish his name to anyone that'll listen. Can't blame a guy (or a woman) for wanting well clear of that!

At best she's been foolish, but I'm sure she's been given some advice. If she can't rein in either her mouth, her sons or her sister, it's understandable that both he and the Ramsays are concerned.

Gowlett · 15/11/2025 22:10

Weddings send some brides crazy, it seems…

Nicola Peltz had a vow renewal just a few years later, sans Beckhams, as she considered her million dollar wedding to be shite.

Meghan Markle’s dad pulled out last minute, as being the centre of world attention (her FIL is the King!) was just too much.

I can see why the Peaty’s are reacting this way.

Hoipers · 16/11/2025 00:02

AngelinaFibres · 12/11/2025 08:55

I agree.
The Beckhams and Ramsays are bywords for tacky with their extra marital affairs, family fallouts, the Beckhams and their determination that none of their children gain an education whilst plastering them across SM since they were born.
Awful.
This wedding is more of the same.

radiator2 · 16/11/2025 00:29

Caroline seems to be doubling down on Instagram, made a post about how sisters are a friend for life. Adam’s sons mum post popped up on my instagram of her sisters wedding. Her mums wearing a pale pink dress and Caroline has commented about how beautiful her mum looks. All seems very targeted and childish.

Yes, a celebrity one.

What ‘class’ are the Peaty family exhibiting? Mrs Peaty is the one posting self pitying memes on instagram and doing sit down interviews with the tabloids, and for what? To ruin the wedding of the son she claims to love? The Ramsays aren’t the ones that created this public selectable.

LostittoBostik · 16/11/2025 04:24

By “aesthetic” you mean class, I presume? Which is exactly what I thought when I read it . Absolutely depressing but not at all surprising

LostittoBostik · 16/11/2025 04:25

Classism is rife at the moment. Worse than I’ve ever known in almost half a century

Serpentstooth · 16/11/2025 07:37

Hey plebs. I'll have you know that you're referring to Sir David and Lady Beckham here. And can Sir Gordon be far behind? They're the New Aristocracy. Let's have a bit of reverence please.

PinkPanther57 · 16/11/2025 13:37

Leoari · 14/11/2025 23:10

Yes. If my family went to the press and talked about me like that I'd never speak to them again either. Perhaps they could have salvaged the relationship if not for the Instagram posts and now national press!

And nobody wears cream to a wedding. They were probably trying to stop gossip about her by buying her something appropriate.

Not sure she's done herself any favours with the article, it makes her look worse if anything.

I keep saying it & someone put it much better upthread in that no one would mistake the 60 year old in a crean dress & poss navy jacket or draped navy pashmina for bride….

It was one of FOUR dresses she was told she HAD to have & possibly not for main event. We can’t know but maybe taken out of context being charitable.

Benjithedog · 16/11/2025 14:15

I think old ma Peaty is enjoying all the attention this is bringing her
