Holly Ramsay has spoken out in defence of her father Gordon Ramsay's wedding speech, revealing she was "overwhelmed with happiness" during the address at her marriage to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.
The couple exchanged vows at Bath Abbey on December 27, with a reception following at the Georgian venue Kin House.
The pair's nuptials were marred by controversy, with a bitter family fallout on the Peaty side overshadowing events in the press.
Proceedings were back in the headlines once again after the big day, with Mr Ramsay's wedding speech a source of contention. It was reported by The Sun that he included jibes at Mr Peaty's family, many of whom weren't in attendance.
According to the publication, the celebrity chef told Olympic swimmer Mr Peaty he was a “fortunate man” before commenting on how stunning his bride looked, adding: “Look at Tana, and that’s what you have to look forward to.”
The 59-year-old then appeared to direct a swipe at Mr Peaty's absent parents, turning to his daughter and saying: “Shame you don’t have the same.”
In her British Vogue interview published on January 2, the 25-year-old shared an image of herself and her new husband laughing during the chef's toast.
The photograph's accompanying caption seemingly defended the speech's contents as it read: "Listening to dad's speech, looking around the room and feeling overwhelmed with the love and the happiness on our guests' faces."

The bride wore three gowns throughout her wedding day, having searched London's bridal shops with her mother and youngest sibling, two-year-old Jesse.
Her ceremony dress came from Elie Saab, selected to complement the abbey's 65-metre aisle and Gothic architecture.
"I knew I wanted to wear something very traditional and quite modest, with lace," the new Ms Peaty told Vogue. "I've always loved Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton's gowns: that beautiful high neckline, super feminine."
