New twist in Adam Peaty saga as it emerges Netflix FILMED his engagement party ‘where relations started to go downhill’
THE road to Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s wedding has been anything but smooth, with a family feud overshadowing their upcoming nuptials.
But I hear fans will soon see the couple in happier times, as their engagement do last December was filmed by Netflix for her chef dad, Gordon’s, docuseries.
They celebrated with friends and family, including Adam’s mum Caroline, who is not invited to their wedding in Bath next month as they are now estranged.
But the scenes are still expected to be part of Being Gordon Ramsay, which sees the chef juggling his personal life with opening five new London restaurants.
A source said: “Adam’s family were at the engagement party, when relations were much better.
“Things went downhill from there.
“His mum was unhappy some of the family weren’t there and confronted Gordon at the event.
“Guests were made to sign non-disclosure agreements and hand in phones as the party was filmed.”
So many people I know are desperate to find out what really caused the fallout.
The show is due to hit Netflix in February, and I’m sure viewers will be glued to their screens . . .
PUP IS PINKY SPICE
MEL B was radiant on the red carpet at The Beauty Awards, but I have a feeling her pet pooch is even more pampered than she is.
The Spice Girls star looked trendy in a cropped blazer, mini skirt and towering knee-high boots as she clutched her tiny dog Cookie as she arrived at the bash in London.
And she had clearly pushed the boat out to prepare her pup for the glitz and glamour of the evening, by dying the fur on her head pink.
Kerry Katona was also there and was snapped snogging her boyfriend Paolo Margaglione, who she met on Celebs Go Dating, while Ekin-Su Culculoglu looked fabulous in a white dress.
WHAT A HORROR, SCARLETT
PREPARE for a scare, as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Scarlett Johansson, will feature in the next Exorcist film.
She has joined the horror franchise for the upcoming movie, once again coming from writer and director Mike Flanagan.
He said: “Scarlett is a brilliant actress whose captivating performances always feel grounded and real, from genre films to summer blockbusters, and I couldn’t be happier to have her join this Exorcist film.”
The last film, 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer, had an underwhelming reception, but the hope is that having Scarlett on board will breathe new life into the franchise relaunch.
She certainly has form with relaunches, having been part of Jurassic World Rebirth earlier this year, which made $869million.
WICKED WEEKEND AT BOX OFFICE
ARIANA GRANDE and Cynthia Erivo’s hard work has paid off, because Wicked: For Good managed to conjure up magical box office takings at the weekend.
The movie raked in £17.8million in just three days, making it the biggest opening weekend in the UK since Margot Robbie‘s Barbie in 2023, which took £18.5m.
The figure is 30 per cent higher than the first Wicked film – which came out last November – and the highest ever opening for a stage musical adaptation.
Now it faces a fight to become the biggest film of the year, with hopes it will surpass Jack Black’s A Minecraft Movie, which has taken £56.4million in the UK since its release in March.
But there could well be more of Ariana’s Galinda on screens if fans get their way.
Wicked author Gregory Maguire has announced he is working on a prequel story about the character’s early life called Galinda: A Charmed Childhood, which will be published by HarperCollins next September.
That’s on top of his Elphaba prequel Elphie, which came out earlier this year.
Quizzed on the prospect of more films in the saga, director Jon M. Chu said: “Who knows? But that was never part of the equation. And I just finished this! I know Universal would want to do it, but that’s hard.”
OLLY ON PULL AT ALBUM BASH
OLLY MURS hosted the launch of album Knees Up at his favourite East London boozer.
And Bizarre’s Jack couldn’t resist getting behind the bar with him at The Birdcage in Bethnal Green to see who could pull the best pint.
While Olly declared his one a “thing of beauty”, Jack’s was a disaster – despite having worked at his local Spoons.
At The Birdcage, in Bethnal Green, Olly said: “We have spent a lot of time in this pub so it’s only fitting we have the launch of the album here with a quiz, games, karaoke, cake and darts.
“There’s always a moment to be a lad, right? And that’s what this album is about – I’m going back to my roots.”
COUNTRY music superstar Zach Bryan is ready to take the UK by storm with a series of massive shows here next summer.
The American singer will perform at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 12, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield on June 14 and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on June 16 and 17.
Tickets go on sale next Friday at 10am.
WITH three No1 albums to his name, Dave has conquered the world of music and now he’s hoping to make you giggle, too.
The rapper, who went very serious on his latest hit record The Boy Who Played The Harp, has revealed he now wants to become a comedian.
In a new interview with The Face, Dave said: “I’m trying to get into stand-up comedy and one of my sketches is that I don’t know how to whistle.
“I’m inherently shy and introverted.”
Sometimes, that can make for the funniest people.
But when Dave’s not making music in the studio or writing gags, he is trying to create positive change in London – via social media.
He said he regularly sends messages directly to London mayor Sadiq Khan, suggesting how he can improve the capital.
Dave said: “I’m telling him: ‘Yo, this is what I think is going on’.
“Not everyone’s going to have a direct line to Sadiq Khan, but you can put a message out to your MP.”
OASIS have said “there will now be a pause for a period of reflection” after completing their reunion tour – but it sounds like Liam Gallagher is ready to go again.
When asked what he wants for Christmas, Liam said on X: “A European tour”.
He added: “There’s loads more classics we need to play for you when we go out again.”
But when one fan said they were convinced a new album was on the way, Liam replied: “It’s not, I honestly don’t see the point, it won’t be as good as the old stuff.
“I’m quite happy singing the old stuff I’m not 1 of those w*****s that need to keep pushing it forward or sideways or backwards in some cases. Nostalgia forever.”
