Seeing double: How Adam Peaty looks just like wife Holly’s dad Gordon Ramsay at the same age

Adam Peaty has officially joined the Ramsay family after tying the knot with chef Gordon’s daughter Holly on December 27.

And the swimmer – who has changed his surname to Ramsay Peaty – bears a strong resemblance to his new father-in-law when he married wife Tana.

Gordon, now 59, was 30 years old when he tied the knot, just a year younger than Adam, 31, now. 

The two men had quite similar looks on their respective wedding days with Gordon sporting an almost identical hairstyle to Adam’s current quiff.

Adam opted for a traditional tuxedo while Gordon sported grey trousers with a matching waistcoat and striped tie. 

Adam and Holly married at Bath Abbey while her parents tied the knot in London.      

The swimmer’s broken–hearted mother Caroline was said to be ‘beside herself’ with grief at missing what should have been one of the happiest days of her life.

The Peaty family were all uninvited from the nuptials, aside from Adam’s sister Beth who was a bridesmaid.

According to new reports on Sunday, Adam’s father Mark was the only person beside Beth asked to attend their big day, however he was told he’d have to sit at the back ‘behind the plus ones’.

Meanwhile father of the bride Gordon reportedly made a brutal dig at his new son-in-law’s parents in his speech.

Gordon waded into the Peaty family drama by saying his wife Tana ‘will be a good mum to them both’, according to a report in The Sun which also claims Adam has now blocked his family from messaging him.

They report that in his father of the bride speech Gordon commented on how beautiful Holly looked and told Adam he was a ‘lucky man’, adding: ‘Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.’

The publication goes on to claim that Gordon couldn’t resist a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents he told his daughter Holly: ‘Shame you don’t have the same.’

Adam is thought to have not mentioned his family or parents in his speech, instead praising his swim coach Mel Marshall for being his ‘everything’, and for ‘grounding and inspiring’ him.

In an emotional moment he also reportedly said that he saw Mel ‘like a mum’ due to her support.

A source told the publication: ‘This was the Ramsays’ plan all along. They wanted Adam’s family gone and they have succeeded.

‘You’d think that as parents, Gordon and Tana would have a bit more compassion towards Caroline, Mark and the family.’

Representatives for Adam and Gordon have been contacted by The Daily Mail for comment.

Holly swept into her wedding in Bath Abbey on the arm of her celebrity chef father, but kept her lace gown concealed beneath a billowing hooded ivory cloak.

If the influencer appeared nervous as she made her way through a chaotic crowd of onlookers before she headed down the aisle to exchange vows with Adam, she had good reason.

For behind the couple’s lavish nuptials lay an ugly family drama which resulted in the groom’s mother – and nearly every member of his family – excluded from the dazzling ceremony amid claims of snobbery and classism.

Sitting at home more than 130 miles away in Staffordshire, Adam’s broken–hearted mother Caroline was said to be ‘beside herself’ with grief at missing what should have been one of the happiest days of her life.

Speaking from the council house where Adam grew up, the 59–year–old told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I’m not going to be hurt like this again’.

She had told Daily Mail that she felt as if Holly and Adam ‘have cut my heart out’. 

This newspaper can also reveal that, moments before he walked into the abbey clutching the hand of his five–year–old son George, Adam Peaty was sent a devastating text message by his aunt Louise, who was also not invited to the wedding.

In it, she wrote: ‘I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still. Shame on you both. Shame.

‘Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.’

The roots of this terrible family conflict go back to September 2024, when Adam and Holly snubbed wider members of the Peaty family by not inviting them to their engagement party.

Caroline, who spent years ferrying her son to early–morning training sessions, was also not invited to Holly’s glamorous hen do at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds last month, even though the bride’s mother, Tana Ramsay, and friends including Victoria Beckham, were at the extravagant bash.

Despite everything Caroline sent a card and gift to her newlywed son for his 31st birthday today.

Meanwhile, Adam’s 73–year–old great–aunt Janet, who was also left out of yesterday’s wedding, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I just feel so sorry for Caroline.

‘I can’t believe he’s done this to his mother who’s done so much for him from an early age. To be treated like this is not kind.’

Despite being shunned, devastated Caroline had threatened to turn up at the wedding anyway – and, if barred from entering the abbey, stand outside and watch from the street.

She said that she changed her mind after her husband Mark convinced her it would be ‘too upsetting’ to go along.

Had she defied her son’s ban, she would have found herself face–to–face with five security guards, placed in front of the abbey’s ancient and elaborately carved wooden doors, which were framed by decorative columns of white roses and hydrangeas.

Guests, which included the likes of David and Victoria Beckham, were all required to wear mandatory wrist bands for security reasons.

According to new reports on Sunday, Adam’s father Mark was the only person beside Beth asked to attend their big day, however he was told he’d have to sit at the back ‘behind the plus ones’.

After being kicked off the invite list, Adam’s estranged brother James posted an old photograph with their mother Caroline Peaty standing outside of the wedding venue.

The poignant photo was deleted just 15 minutes after it was shared on his Instagram Story, perhaps signalling regret at how bitter the feud has become.
