When Gordon Ramsay ‘s daughter Holly announced her engagement to Adam Peaty, close pals David and Victoria Beckham were among the first to congratulate Gordon and wife Tana – with a cheeky dig.
New Netflix show Being Gordon Ramsay sees the chef read out a text from David taunting him about the cost of the wedding, for the cameras just after Holly has told him her news.
But in his haste to read the message, Gordon forgets about his two youngest sons. “I had a lovely message from David and Victoria,” says Gordon. “David was winding me up about how expensive it is with daughters as opposed to sons. Like he’s got one daughter and we have three daughters and one son, three sons s**t, sorry!”

Holly and Adam feature heavily in the show. Gordon says, “Adam is so grounded, he’s not walking out as Olympic champion with his head up his a**e. He’s my type of guy.”
Recalling the moment Adam asked Gordon for Holly’s hand in marriage, Gordon jokes, “I thought, ‘F**k, he wants to borrow a car.’”
Adam, 31, says he will remember the moment for the rest of his life. “It was quite daunting but it actually turned into a very wonderful moment,” he recalls. “I got tears from both the parents, which is always good, it’s always a good sign.”
It’s clear Gordon approves of his new son-in-law who married Holly less than two months ago on 27 December after a public fallout with his mother Caroline and father Mark, who didn’t attend. Gordon says, “He’s a gent, he’s an absolute thoroughbred.”

In the Netflix show,. Tana can be seen enjoying being a step-grandmother to Adam’s little boy George . “It’s happened very naturally welcoming Adam into our family and he comes with this incredible bonus which is this little boy George,” says Tana. “Holly is absolutely smitten with him, which makes it even better.”
While Adam comments, “I saw what [Holly] was like with George and I’ve seen how her family works and when you marry someone you also marry into the family. For me Gordon is very fair, very respectful and also loves a good joke. We’re very similar.”
Since Being Gordon Ramsay finished filming, Gordon and Tana have broken their silence on the rift with Caroline and Mark Peaty, insisting they’ve done nothing wrong and would happily travel to the Peaty home in Nottingham and smooth over any differences of opinion.
“It’s just upsetting,” says Gordon. “It’s all self-inflicted from their side because we’ve done nothing – none of which you’ve read: no rudeness, no ignorance – we welcomed them. We sent a chauffeur-driven car for them to come to the engagement party and treated them like royalty. So to get that barrage of press was very hurtful. Tana took it very seriously.”
Gordon says the decision to uninvite Adam’s parents from the wedding was not taken by him. “I would like to go up to Nottingham with Tana and see them and draw a line in the sand. It was Adam and Holly’s wishes for them not to attend and so we had to respect that.”
Being Gordon Ramsay launches on Netflix on Wednesday 18th February.
