The three-time Olympic champion opened up on his relationship with the father of his girlfriend Holly, who he met while competing on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.
He admitted Gordon had helped him in his recovery from alcoholism, depression and split from the mother of his son Eirianedd Munro, which culminated in ‘three years of hell’ for the swimmer.
He told The Sunday Times the celebrity chef has emerged as a mentor and role model, who he looks up to for his ‘relentless pursuit’ and how he has worked ‘his way up to the upper echelons of his industry’.
Adam previously revealed that he ‘didn’t want to see a pool again’ after being ‘broken’ by the sport, turning to drinking and partying as an escape.
However he has now rediscovered his passion for swimming and earlier this week qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics after winning the British 100m men’s breaststroke title with his quickest time since 2021.
‘I take a lot from that and from the professionalism he has every single day with a relentless pursuit.

On Tuesday, the swimmer revealed that he had found ‘peace in the water’ after recovering from depression and alcoholism to qualify for this summer’s Olympics
It comes after his ex Eirianedd Munro has revealed the Strictly curse was the ‘beginning of the end’ of her three-year relationship with the swimmer.
The artist, 26, who shares three-year-old son George, with the athlete spoke about the ‘intense attention’ she endured when Adam made headlines after nearly kissing partner Katya Jones during one routine in 2021.
Eirianedd and Adam split in 2022 following his time in the BBC competition and later started dating Holly after meeting her still in a relationship.
Asked whether they would still be together if he hadn’t appeared on the show she told The Sun: ‘It’s hard to say. I think it helped us realise what we wanted in life. Sadly, if it wasn’t for Strictly it would’ve been something else’
Eirinaedd, who tried to laugh off Adam and Katya’s ‘almost kiss’ during his time in the competition, then went on to issue a warning to future Strictly competitors and encouraged them to think of their loved ones who are often left ‘lonely’ during training.

Saying: ‘Also reassure your partner, especially when the world inevitably begins to speculate there’s something going on between you and your dance partner.
‘And if you’re not strong enough to go through the process, if your relationship isn’t secure, or you don’t know how to handle the intense attention that comes with it, don’t go on the show.’
