Gordon Ramsay shows true colours towards Adam Peaty after wedding revelation
Gordon Ramsay shows true colours towards Adam Peaty after wedding revelation The celebrity chef has made his feelings clear on the Olympian, who is engaged to his daughter Holly Ramsay has made his feelings clear on his daughter Holly's relationship with Peaty Team GB star Adam Peaty was cheered on by his future father-in-law Gordon Ramsay as he completed a gruelling triathlon as part of the celebrity chef's family team on Sunday. The 30-year-old swimmer - who has three gold and three silver Olympic medals to his name - was competing in his first triathlon event but had plenty of support from the rest of 'Team Ramsay' as he took on the T100 Triathlon World Tour at the Royal Victoria Dock in London. Peaty is engaged to Ramsay's daughter Holly, with the couple set to tie the knot at the end of this year, and his fiancee was cheering him on at the event alongside his four-year-old son George. Taking part in the mammoth challenge alongside him, however, was his future mother-in-law Tana, as well as Ramsay's other daughters Megan and Tilly and his son Jack. Other celebrities taking party included McFly drummer Harry Judd and former racing driver turned presenter and Ironman Billy Monger. However, 58-year-old Ramsay was unable to take part himself due to having stitches on his cheek, so took up the role of cheerleader on doctor's advice. The gruelling event includes a 2km swim, 80km bike ride and 18km run, with a shattered Peaty crossing the line in 2:34:37 before a proud Ramsay wrapped his arm around him, beaming as the Olympian struggled to catch his breath. Article continues below Ramsay wrapped his arms around Peaty after he finished the triathlon He was also congratulated by Holly and George, who gave his dad a big kiss having held a sign that read: "I love you. Go Daddy". "Hardest thing I've ever done," Peaty said after the event, before adding that he would still "100% do it again.". The swimmer and Holly went public with their romance in 2023 and announced their engagement last year, before Ramsay let slip that they would be tying the knot at the end of 2025. 'It's going to be a Christmas wedding," the celebrity chef revealed during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show. "They're looking at areas and venues and lots of planning." Giving the three-time Olympic champion his seal of approval, Ramsay added that he and Tana "couldn't ask for anyone better" to be their son-in-law. "He's a very nice guy,' he said. 'He's so down to earth and so focused and disciplined. "He sat us down in Cornwall and he said 'Holly is just the perfect woman. I'd like to get your blessing - from you and Tana for her hand in marriage'. It was that sort of amazing moment. Everything went quiet. "As a future son-in-law, we couldn't ask for anyone better. He's so grounded. Those two get on so well. It's a blessing.' Peaty was cheered on by Holly and his son George With their winter wedding now fast approaching, Holly has revealed that her father will be overseeing the food on the big day. "Oh my goodness, he's been so excited from the beginning," she told Closer Magazine. "We always talked about him doing the food." Announcing their engagement last year, Holly took to Instagram to write: "I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you. "Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you & I cannot wait to be your wife." Meanwhile, Peaty wrote: "I can't believe you're going to be my wife. I'm truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side. You fill my heart to the brim and give my soul peace."

Lookfantastic to launch three exclusive beauty advent calendars this Christmas
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more LookFantastic's Beauty Advent Calendar has long been my favourite advent calendar to countdown to Christmas. I would even say it's the best beauty advent calendar out there, especially this year as the online beauty retailer will launch not one but three beauty advent calendars. For some, three beauty advent calendars, but then again Rituals have done it, as well as other brands. But, that's not why LookFantastic is releasing a trio of festive countdowns. In fact, LookFantastic's decision to drop three beauty advent calendars is to celebrate 10 years of its iconic Lookfantastic Beauty Advent Calendar, which has been hailed the UK's number one selling beauty product – quite the accolade. It goes without saying all three of the beauty advent calendars are limited edition. In previous years they have racked up a hefty waitlist, and sold out within minutes. And we predict the same turn of events this year. LookFantastic's three beauty advent calendars will include a beauty advent calendar, a grooming advent calendar, as well as a brand new fragrance debut. Safe to say there's a place for all three in many homes. More Trending The bundles will feature luxurious beauty, grooming and fragrance products from leading brands sold at LookFantastic, though the exact contents of each remains a mystery. If previous years are anything to go by, the beauty advent calendar typically spans 25 days, and has been known to feature additional treats inside. Alongside double treats behind a single door, it has also included a mix of full size and travel size products. So, the stakes are high for Lookfantastic this year. As for brands? Well, think Medik8, Estee Lauder, Sol de Janeiro, Elemis and ColorWOW to name a few. What we do know is LookFantastic's Beauty Advent will retail for £105, but will include over £655 worth of coveted products. The waitlist is open for beauty enthusiasts to sign up to stay up to date when the bundle launches, and to secure early access to shop the bundle, which we strongly recommend you do. Simply enter your name and email address to sign up, it really couldn't be easier. You can also count on us to update you as soon as we hear more about what's inside all three calendars, and its official release date.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing start date 'leaked' as fans express concern
BBC Strictly fans can expect to see the new series launch in September BBC Strictly fans are abuzz as it appears the launch date of the new series has been 'leaked' ahead of official confirmation. TV Zone claims on X, formerly Twitter, that the show is set to start a week later than it usually hits the schedule, at the end of September. The outlet posted: 'FYI - this year's Strictly is a week later than recent series, with the show launching on September 20. Hence, no celebrity reveals just yet.." A further claim from the publication suggests the first live show in the series will hit the airwaves on Saturday, September 27. Last year, the first live performances were broadcast on September 21, with the full run kicking off on September 14. And in 2023, Strictly launched on September 23, reports the Express. Fans took to X today after the news was 'leaked' to express their concern that the change in scheduling times would mean the show is on TV too close to the Christmas period, meaning the celebs and pro dancers taking part would not get to spend enough time with their loved ones. One said: 'Why so late? Does that mean the final will be closer to Christmas then? I just want the celebrity announcements." One added: "Yes, it's less than a week before Christmas, which has me worried that the pros are going to be in a hurry to go and see their families around the world .. I hope they were made aware of this when they renewed their contracts." A third said: "Final will be on Saturday December 20, 2025, just 5 days before Christmas." The BBC has already confirmed that the judging panel will return as normal, with Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood, and head judge Shirley Ballas, all signed up. There will also be some new faces on the dance floor this year, with Julian Cailon and Alexis Warr joining the programme as professional dancers. Earlier today, the first celebrity in the Strictly Come Dancing line up of 2025 was revealed. Olympic champion and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will take to the famous dancefloor for the new series in the autumn. The news was first revealed on Newsround this morning (Monday).
