Olympic swimmer and 2021 Strictly Come Dancing star Adam Peaty has recently opened up about his struggles with alcoholism and the role that Gordon Ramsay, father of his girlfriend Holly Ramsay, played in helping him through his darkest times. The 29-year-old athlete revealed that the 57-year-old celebrity chef was not only there for him during his battle with addiction, but also when he went through a difficult split with the mother of his son, Eirianedd Munro.
According to Adam, these personal issues all came to a head in what he describes as "three years of hell." In a candid interview with The Sunday Times, he shared that his mental health was at an all-time low, fueled by depression, anxiety, heavy drinking, and ADHD. He even had to take a break from his swimming career due to his breakdown.
However, with the support of his loved ones, including Gordon Ramsay, Adam has been in recovery for the past year. He credits his future father-in-law for helping him out of a "deep, dark hole." He spoke highly of the celebrity chef, calling him an "incredible energy to be around" and a great source of guidance.
Adam also admires Gordon's work ethic and relentless pursuit of success. He shared that he looks up to the way the chef climbed his way to the top of his industry without any "b***s**t." He is inspired by Gordon's professionalism and drive, and strives to emulate it in his own life.
Reflecting on his journey, Adam realizes that he doesn't have to be emotionally invested in everything and can learn from Gordon's no-nonsense approach. He questions himself, "Why can't I work like this? Why can't I do this every single day?" It's clear that Gordon's mentorship has had a positive impact on the athlete's life and mindset.
Adam also mentioned that he is grateful for the support of his girlfriend Holly, whom he describes as an "amazing person." He is thankful for her and her family for being there for him during his difficult times. As he continues on his road to recovery, Adam is looking forward to a brighter future, both in his personal life and in his swimming career.
