Gordon Ramsay has revealed he is feeling a mixture of excitement and nerves ahead of becoming a grandfather for the first time. The TV chef admitted he is feeling nervous after daughter Holly Ramsay announced she is expecting her first child with Olympic swimmer husband Adam Peaty.
Gordon Ramsay's candid confession about grandparenthood
Speaking to Gary Lineker on the latest episode of The Rest Is Football on Netflix, Gordon admitted he is unsure what to expect once the baby arrives. 'I am secretly petrified because until they can talk and communicate with you, you can't do much, we're not going to f***ing breastfeed, are we?' he joked.
Despite his humorous concerns, Gordon has made no secret of how thrilled he is to welcome the family's newest addition later this year.
Holly Ramsay's pregnancy announcement
Holly announced her pregnancy on social media last weekend, revealing she and Adam are expecting a baby girl in December 2026. Alongside a series of photographs showing off her growing baby bump, she wrote: 'Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026. We can't wait to meet our baby girl.'
The announcement was quickly met with congratulations from family, friends and celebrity followers. Among the first to comment was proud dad Gordon, who wrote: 'Congratulations to you both sending lots of love Dad ❤️. I'm going to be a very overexcited Grandad especially this Christmas @hollyramsaypeaty @adamramsaypeaty.'
Family reaction and Gordon's close bond with Adam Peaty
Holly's younger sister Tilly also celebrated the happy announcement, describing it as the 'best news ever.' Gordon and wife Tana have six children together: Megan, twins Jack and Holly, Tilly, Oscar and youngest son Jesse James.
The pregnancy marks another major milestone for Holly and Adam, who married in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey in December 2025 before celebrating with guests at Kin House in Wiltshire. Since marrying Holly, Adam has developed a particularly close relationship with Gordon and Tana. Earlier this year, Gordon revealed the Olympic champion now affectionately calls him 'Dad'. 'He messaged me and said, "Hey dad, what have you got? Hey dad, are you around later?" And it's just like, "Oh my God". Incredible,' Gordon said.
Adam Peaty's family estrangement
The swimmer has been warmly welcomed into the Ramsay family despite an ongoing estrangement from parts of his own family. Adam's wedding to Holly made headlines after it emerged his parents and several relatives were not invited because of a long-running family dispute. Gordon later defended both Holly and Adam, saying the fallout had been 'self-inflicted from their side'. He added: 'We sent a chauffeur-driven car for them to come to the engagement party and treated them like royalty. So to get that barrage of press was very hurtful. Tana took it very seriously.'
Gordon Ramsay's emotional wedding speech
During his speech at Holly and Adam's wedding reception, Gordon admitted seeing one of his daughters get married was an emotional experience. Speaking afterwards on This Morning, he reflected: 'It's tough, honestly. Being the dad with three daughters, you dream of that moment and that moment arrives and you're just like a hot mess. But, the speech was perfect, it went well and you've got to find that… You've got to be warm, emotional… It's a tough gig.'
