GORDON Ramsay has broken his silence on his ‘fiery’ wedding speech in his first interview since daughter Holly’s wedding ceremony to Adam Peaty.
The TV chef appeared alongside his daughter Tilly on ITV‘s This Morning as he discussed the highly-publicised Bath Abbey ceremony for the first time.
Gordon had raised eyebrows as he appeared to make a thinly-veiled dig at Adam’s ongoing family feud when he delivered a wedding speech during the nighttime celebrations.
But the star has insisted his speech was “perfect” despite courting controversy.
When asked by Cat Deeley about preparing his speech, Gordon said: “Being a dad of three daughters, you dream of that moment.
“I was a hot mess but the speech was perfect, it went well.

“You’ve got to be warm and emotional but it was a tough gig.”
Elsewhere, Tilly had her say on the wedding and also called it “perfect” despite Adam’s family largely not attending.
Only his sister Bethany was present with his heartbroken mum Caroline banned from the Abbey amid a huge fallout with Adam and being left hurt after Holly refused to invite her to her hen-do with her A-list pals, including Victoria Beckham.
Speaking on the daytime show, Tilly added: “It was so emotional but so incredible to see her and Adam so happy. It was a big day for all of us.”
She also admitted she checked Gordon’s speech on Christmas Eve and confessed “no tweaks were needed” before confirming: “It made everybody cry.”
Gordon further revealed his “shock” at Holly’s decision to wear Tana’s wedding dress for a section of the reception saying: “It was a shock as she had it on for the majority of the night but I don’t know why she needed to change three times!”
The chef was alluding to her multiple dress changes for the big day – with the star wearing three gowns in total.
In Gordon’s speech he was understood to be heard saying his wife Tana “will be a good mum to them both,” amid the fallout.
Ramsay, 59, gushed at 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.”
And in a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents he told Holly, 25: “Shame you don’t have the same.”
Adam’s feud with mum Caroline, 60, exploded last month after she was not invited to Holly’s hen do.
Last night a Peaty family source hit back at Gordon’s speech saying: “It just goes to show that this was the Ramsays’ plan all along.”
Adam hailed the 200 guests’ support in a “difficult time”. Sister Beth, 32, was his only family at the service, maid of honour with Holly’s sisters Megan, 27, and Tilly, 24.
Adam’s mum, dad Mark, 65, and brothers James and Richard stayed at home in Staffordshire.
