Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana has spoken out after her family clashed with Adam Peaty’s.
Gordon recently addressed the family feud involving his son-in-law Adam Peaty, who married the chef’s daughter Holly at Bath Abbey in December. Adam Peaty’s estranged family members such as Caroline were uninvited from the ceremony.
Adam and the Ramsays are in a rift with the swimmer’s estranged family. Gordon insisted him and wife Tana had “done nothing wrong” and treated Adam’s family “like royalty”.
He claimed that the feud was “self-inflicted on their side”, but Adam’s family have hit back at the chef and accused him of being a “bully”. Gordon has since denied this, telling The Sun: “I am certainly not a bully, and it is so appalling to even suggest there was any bullying.”

Tana has now revealed a sweet interaction she had with Caroline in which she praised her son. The chef’s wife admitted that he was “perfect” for her daughter Holly.
Speaking to Grazia, she said: “I remember saying to Adam’s mum when I met her, ‘My God, you’ve got the most amazing son. I couldn’t think of anyone that is more perfect for Holly, who’s incredibly emotional, incredibly vulnerable in areas.'”

She said that Holly is “funny, brilliant and witty” but also “needs keeping in line” and that Adam had managed to do all those things. Tana explained “he’s been through a lot” and “she’s been through a lot” and recalls saying to his mum Caroline that “in my mind he’s perfect for our daughter.”
Tana is set to star in her and Gordon’s reality show Being Gordon Ramsay, which drops on Netflix on Wednesday (February 18). Gordon and Tana, who wed in 1996, are parents to Megan, 27, twins Holly and Jack, 26, Tilly, 24, Oscar, six, and two-year-old Jesse.
Adam’s sister Bethany was the only member of his family to attend Adam and Holly’s wedding on December 27. She was a bridesmaid at the ceremony with Holly’s sisters Tilly and Megan.
The feud reportedly escalated after Caroline was no invited to Holly’s hen do. Mark was reportedly told he could attend the wedding but only if he sat at the back – he didn’t attend.
