Adam Peaty’s mother has been seen in public for the first time since her son married Holly Ramsay in a wedding she did not attend, amid a public family feud that has overshadowed the Olympic swimmer’s big day.

As she left her family home in Staffordshire on Sunday, just one day after the wedding, Caroline Peaty appeared visibly depressed. She had been uninvited from the ceremony at Bath Abbey.

She was photographed heading out to visit her own mother, Mavis, while wrapped in a cream coat and scarf, following what sources have described as an emotionally draining weekend, in pictures posted online.

Caroline reportedly had thought about attending the wedding despite being exempt, after friends told her to “watch from the street.”

However, she later changed her mind, claiming that doing so would be “too sad” and that she didn’t want to “spoil his big day” with it. That day, her husband Mark Peaty was also seen leaving.

He was spotted posing with the family dog close to the house. Hours later, it became clear that Mark had been given a contentious invitation to the wedding and was bundled up in a bright orange coat and winter hat as he walked outside.

According to reports from The Sun, Mark was given permission to attend the ceremony but would have to occupy a spot behind other guests’ plus ones.

More than 200 people gathered inside Bath Abbey to watch Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly, 25, get married to Adam, a 31-year-old man.

The wedding itself appeared joyful, but an uprising over the family feud ultimately prevented the majority of the Peaty family from attending the grand event.

Bethany, Adam’s sister, was one of Holly’s bridesmaids at the church despite the conflict. The bride’s bridal party included Tana Ramsay, 51, sisters Tilly, 24, and Megan, 27, as well as her mother.

A family source told The Sun on Sunday : “Frankly, it’s disgusting that it went ahead without Adam reaching out to his mum and dad beforehand.”

The family spent the evening together because Caroline and Mark had a difficult day, the insider continued. Caroline became upset as soon as she saw the wedding photos.

It’s awful for him to turn around and tell Beth that his father could come in and sit at the back of the church. Adam has probably never spoken to or seen plus-ones, but Mark was told he could sit behind them.

Caroline admitted the pain she is feeling has been overwhelming in a chat with the Daily Mail, saying: “I don’t think they understand how much they have hurt me; it’s as if they have cut my heart out.”

She went on to explain how the fallout has affected the wider family during the festive period, adding: “This is the first Christmas that I’ve not had my family together – my family is broken.

“Yes, I do have a few more grandchildren. Yes, I have my other children, but my family has been divided due to the events surrounding the wedding.

After their roles on Home and Away, respectively, Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson, respectively, started dating Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor.

Sophie Dillman, the star of Home and Away, and Patrick O’Connor, the couple’s spouse, have sweetly announced their engagement.

Soap star Sophie, 32, confirmed the couple’s exciting news on social media last night, sharing a gallery of photos capturing the proposal, including the moment Patrick got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. They have shut down split rumours after speculation swirled earlier this year.

The pair, who moved in together before Covid, play Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson in the much-loved Aussie show. They have been together since 2019 and confirmed they’re taking a huge step after Patrick popped the question in the build up to Christmas on a scenic Sydney beach.

Before adding a diamond ring and love heart emoji, Sophie captioned the romantic photos with the words “Home has always been with you.” “Hello, sweethearts, I’m so excited to meet you and Georgie Parker, co-star of Summer Bay,” the crowd yelled as they congratulated them. You won’t be happier for it, could not.

She claims that their relationship began when they were first friends. It also meant she could “hang out” with her “best mate all the time,” which is a blessing, and added that “our characters got together and then we did.” We spend our entire time together, but because of that, we were the first to become close friends.

Sophie spoke up to raise awareness of endometriosis earlier this year The condition, as stated by the NHS, involves cells similar to those in the lining of the uterus growing in other parts of the body, and symptoms can include severe period pain, heavy periods and fatigue.

The actor, who has revealed that she has now lived with endometriosis for more than a decade, spoke to 7News about how she dealt with her symptoms whilst on set of the show. Sophie returned for several episodes of the soap just months ago, after previously starring on it from 2017 to 2023.

She claimed to frequently use a hot water bottle while filming. Being on your feet all day, running up and down, changing costumes, and wearing flares that don’t fit can hurt, she said.

Sophie said she would use her hot water bottle to “everywhere” and go everywhere. She recalled when filming began and suggesting that her coworkers would then give it back in between takes when she recalled pulling it out of her pants. She added that using it for so long has left her with “permanent scarring” on her stomach.

Sophie claimed that she has been experiencing symptoms since her first period when she described the condition. After calling on doctors to look into the possibility of endometriosis, she added that she had received an “official diagnosis.”

Sophie expressed her “strong” feelings about it. She said, “They discovered what they believed to be scar tissue and I said, “No, I want you to test it because I believe it is endometriosis,” and I felt very strongly about it when it came back.

She continued, adding that when she was awakened for another two operations, she was informed that it was scar tissue rather than endometriosis. Sophie recalls encouraging them to test the scar tissue and saying, “That’s what happened last time.”

Just two months before the charity’s announcement that she had tragically passed away at the age of 91, Brigitte Bardot made a haunting comment about her passing online.

Film actress and style icon Brigitte Bardot left a haunting comment on X just week before her death was announced at age 91.

Before her official death was announced, a rumour circulated that she had passed away following three weeks of medical care at a hospital near her Saint-Tropez home. A post from a celebrity news account on X, which was quickly deleted, reportedly read: “An icon has passed away, leaving behind an unforgettable legacy and an eternal imprint on the hearts of the French.”

The actress immediately responded to the rumor with the following statement: “I don’t know which imbecile started this fake news about my]death] but I know that I’m well and that I have no intention of taking my leave.

She passed away two months after the post. The star’s charitable foundation made the announcement in a tribute that spoke of her desire to dedicate her life and energy to animal welfare and her foundation.

Two years ago, in a public discussion about her health, Bernard d’Ormale and Brigitte’s husband had respiratory issues. She can no longer bear the heat, he told the French newspaper Var-matin. At 88 years old, it occurs. She must not “overexert herself.”

In her final years, Brigitte also had walking issues, telling La Parisienne in 2023, “I can no longer walk, I’m dependent on crutches, and dancing is very difficult for me.”

The actress, who was one of the most well-known faces in film, eventually withdrew from showbiz to dedicate her life to causes like animal rights.

At the age of 15, Brigitte appeared on the cover of Elle magazine as a talented ballet dancer and later as a model. Women of my generation are all remembered by Nicole Parrot, a historian of fashion, in later times. She gave rise to something that had never previously had a place in society or fashion: “the jeune fille.”

Brigitte was given a meeting to audition for her first movie role and met Roger Vadim, the screenwriter. After she turned 18, the pair fell in love and got married.

Her acting career began with roles in Manina, the Girl in the Bikini, and Crazy for Love.

Before her husband Vadim made her directorial debut with And God Created Woman in 1956, Brigitte had already made a dozen films. With critics calling her sultry and sexual on-screen presence “sex kitten,” the movie became a global success and earned her the title of “sex kitten.”

Vadim would always say, “I never invented Brigitte Bardot.” I merely assisted her in blossoming.

Adam Peaty’s family have been left distraught as the majority of them were uninvited from his wedding ceremony in the wake of a rift between the Olympic swimmer and his mother

Adam Peaty’s wedding to Holly Ramsay was meant to be a joyful celebration for the Olympic champion. Instead, the ceremony became the focal point of an increasingly bitter family feud.

As a result, Adam received a series of pointed ‘messages’ from his now estranged relatives in the lead up to, and throughout the big day.

The swimmer, 31, married Holly, 25, at Bath Abbey in a lavish ceremony which was attended by around 200 guests, including celebrities and close friends. While Holly’s family played a central role in the ceremony, most of Adam’s own relatives were noticeably absent.

His brother’s cryptic Godfather post

A few hours after Adam got married, his estranged brother James posted what some have seen as an indirect message to him on Instagram.

He uploaded an old photo of himself standing with their mother, Caroline Peaty, outside Bath Abbey. James paired the snap with a remix of Speak Softly, Love, which is the theme song from The Godfather trilogy.

The films follow the story of a powerful mafia family who protect their own flesh and blood at any cost, even if this results in the brutal death of outsiders.

The Instagram story only stayed live for 15 minutes before it was deleted. Shortly afterwards, James wiped his account entirely and removed all of his previously posted images.

Devastating text sent before Adam walked down the aisle

Moments before Adam entered Bath Abbey, which is where he said his wedding vows, he reportedly received a heartbreaking text from his aunt Louise.

According to MailOnline, the message said: “I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still. Shame on you both. Shame.

“Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.”

The message was allegedly sent just before Adam walked into the abbey holding the hand of his five-year-old son, George, from his previous relationship.

The inverted Union Jack ‘distress signal’

Some of Adam’s other relatives sparked speculation by flying a Union Jack flag upside down outside of their house. The inverted flag is internationally recognised as a symbol of distress, and some onlookers wondered if that might indicate the family member’s feelings about Adam’s wedding.

It is still unclear whether the flag was deliberately inverted, or whether this was simply a mistake.

According to insiders, Mark was the only family member from the feud who was offered an invitation to Adam’s wedding ceremony. He was allegedly told he could attend but would have to sit at the back of the church “behind the plus-ones”.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Frankly, it’s disgusting that it went ahead without Adam reaching out to his mum and dad beforehand.”

They added: “For him to turn around and tell Beth that his dad could come and sit at the back of the church is awful. Mark was told he could sit behind plus-ones — who Adam has probably never even seen or spoken to.”

In the end, Adam’s sister Bethany was the only member of his immediate family that attended the ceremony, after being asked to be one of Holly’s bridesmaids. The rest of the Peaty family stayed at home in Uttoxeter, around 150 miles away.

After their controversial departure from Strictly Come Dancing, pro Katya Jones and Emmerdale star Lewis Cope will be reuniting for a special one off show. Lewis and Katya were voted off this year’s competition two weeks before the final, after going up against Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin in the dance off.

But luckily for fans of the pair, they have a chance to see them together again, when they host their one-off workshop in Lewis’ hometown of Hartlepool. Dance With Lewis and Katya will take place on Sunday 22 February, between 10am and 11.30am, with tickets costing £75 each.

Posting on Katya’s Instagram Stories, the pair beamed as they told fans about the special opportunity. Lewis said: “So a lot of people have been messaging us and commenting and saying they want to dance with us.

Katya added: “So we’ve decided that we want to dance with you.”

Lewis, 30, continued: “So we are going to do a workshop in Hartlepool, the link will be somewhere around here and in our bios. If you want to come and dance with us, meet us, ask us questions, hang out with us – how exciting!”

The announcement comes after Lewis and Katya’s elimination infuriated fans, with some vowing to switch off. One fan raged on social media: “Oh my goodness! I’ve just read your spoiler and I am shocked to the core. That is SO ridiculous that I don’t think I can bring myself to watch another minute of Strictly. I’m out!”

Another commented: “So angry at this – two absolutely astounding dancers in the dance off and neither should have gone home. I guess there’s no point watching the rest of the series now though so got some time back there!”

A third viewer ranted: “This is a joke. #Strictly used to be a dancing competition, but the best dancer hasn’t won since Jay McGuiness in 2015 & this is the biggest robbery in Strictly history for me. I’ve watched every ep of every series of this show but I’m done for this series. Devastated honestly.”

After they were voted off the show, Lewis paid tribute to his trainer Katya. He said: “It’s been incredible and will be a memory for the rest of my life, and I think it’s all down to you. You’ve given me everything as a friend as a teacher.”

Katya got emotional, saying of Lewis: “I think you have created so many moments for Strictly Come Dancing that will be in the history books, you will be remembered as the best male celebrity we ever had on the show. I really hope Lewis Cope will be remembered for the incredible person you are.”

Lewis opened up about how important Strictly is. He said: “What is life without people. I’ve seen how it’s brought people together.

:It seems to lift people up. It’s brought my family, four generations, together every Saturday night.

“Young boys who thought it wasn’t accessible have started dancing. If you’ve changed one person’s like like that then that’s enough.”

Lewis was no stranger to dancing though, which raised some eyebrows when he joined the cast. The actor appeared in a stage version of Billy Elliot in his youth, and went on to be a runner-up in the Sky One dance series Got to Dance back in 2013.

Bonnie Blue and her family enjoyed a much quieter Christmas thanks to her legal issues in Indonesia, which included roast potato accidents and a typically divisive breakfast.

Bonnie Blue has settled in for the holiday season by sharing her unusual Christmas Day routine with fans after a dramatic year, even by her standards.

After receiving fines for traffic violations, the controversial adult film star, who has gained notoriety for her extreme sex stunts, was recently deported from Bali and prohibited from entering Indonesia for ten years. Bonnie, who goes by the name Tia Billinger, appeared unfazed by her recent legal issues when she documented her December 25th on TikTok, starting her day with a breakfast of leftover Chinese takeaway.

Bonnie, 26, made the insult of many in the comments section when she showed off the carton of food to her followers. Then, Bonnie, who donned pajamas, could open presents with her family and make fun of a talented T-shirt with the message “I’d dropkick a child for a PepsiMax.” A Highland cow teddy, a skin serum, “delectable” pyjamas, a fluffy robe from her grandma, and more gifts were provided.

Then it was onto the Christmas dinner prep, with Bonnie seen bantering with her sister Summer as she rustled up some roasties. Joking that Summer “had one job, roast potatoes”, Bonnie revealed: “So far, the oven has broke, and Summer was meant to boil the potatoes for 10 minutes, she did it for an hour so now they’re now a little bit mushy.

She continued, “She had one job. We’ll be able to continue with this because we ordered enough Chinese last night. And we now have to bring our Christmas dinner to people’s homes so they can prepare it for us.

However, Bonnie openly acknowledged she had “nothing” to add to the family feast despite her quick criticism of Summer for her culinary cliches. Bonnie’s family was left dealing with all sorts of ordinary Christmas Day chaos as a result of their disastrous roasting attempt, just like many families across the nation.

Bonnie remarked, “What else has gone wrong? ” Two left feet are grandmother’s shoes. Dad became ill and nearly cried after we tricked him into believing the bathroom had fallen through.

Although the family eventually sat around the table for a “beautiful” dinner, Christmas dinner initially appeared to be “unlikely.” Then, while visiting her uncle, Bonnie humorously posted a picture of a small dog quipping and staring at her through the window. “Do you ever feel like you’re being watched? “

Bonnie, who had been cooped back up at home, was seen using what appeared to be a fun craft kit to make her own bouncy ball. She then finished her video by letting her fans know, “I’m going to watch Homeland and go to bed.” Everyone, Merry Christmas.

Her most controversial stunt of the year ended with her finding herself imprisoned in Bali earlier this month. Despite just being faced with potentially lengthy prison time, the 26-year-old was seen smiling in photos following her arrest and even being heard making jokes about consuming her content. And it’s thought that her ongoing campaign to stoke outrage may include this startling reaction.

All attention is fuel, according to criminologist Alex Iszatt to the Mirror. Bonnie Blue’s operation thrives on this simple, unwavering formula. The brand is actively amplified by each public complaint, news cycle, and social media debate. Even legal issues are used as promotional material, whether to deflect criticism or direct instructing the audience to “subscribe and find out” as Bali Bali.

She has shown to be clever enough to dance along the line of the law without vehemently violating it, and her quip that “people are so stupid” is less of a boast than a diagnosis of her method.

Mayah Riaz, who also offers her personal branding expertise, PR to the stars, said, “From a PR standpoint, Bonnie’s choice to take her brand of shock content to Bali feels like someone playing with fireworks and acting surprised when they go off.

“She knows exactly what she is doing. Bali’s strict laws are no secret, which is why this looks less like an accident and more like calculated chaos. For someone whose entire career is built on outrage, the risk was part of the performance. In her world, scandal is not a setback; she uses it as a sales tool.”
