The swimmer credits Ramsay, who holds eight Michelin stars, with helping him regain his competitive edge and move away from a lifestyle dominated by alcohol and partying. Under Ramsay’s mentorship, he returned to his disciplined Olympic training regimen, as reported by the Mirror.
In an April 2024 interview with The Sunday Times, Peaty expressed his admiration for Ramsay’s guidance, saying, “He [Ramsay] is an incredible energy to be around and an incredible person to have that guidance from. Gordon is a high performer.”, reports Wales Online.
“He worked his way up to the upper echelons of his industry and works in a place where there’s no bull****. I take a lot from that and from the professionalism he has every single day with a relentless pursuit.””So, when I see that, I’m like, ‘Yeah, why can’t I work like this? Why can’t I do this every single day? Why do I have to be so emotionally engaged with things? “.
Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay turned heads in June 2023 as they went public with their relationship after being an item since May. By the festive season, the couple was in the headlines again for their coordinating tattoos, symbolising their commitment.
The elite swinner enjoys a goode relationship with Gordon Ramsay, Holly’s father, often engaging in lighthearted teasing.
Their back-and-forth was on display when Ramsay teased Peaty about his post-Games plans.
In the build-up to the Olympics, the chef probed the swimmer about his intentions after the competition, to which Peaty responded coyly: “Who knows? You’re smiling, I’m not going to give you the pleasure. I’m not going to do it. You’re trapping me.”
The star of Hell’s Kitchen shot back, laden with his trademark expletives: “You’re full of ****! You are definitely not retiring. Absolutely, definitely not retiring.”
He also managed to slip in another classic Ramsay quip: “Very best of luck. Don’t **** this up.”
