Adam Peaty is thought to have banned his mother Caroline from his wedding – despite this, she was reported to still be planning an appearance, until one heartbreaking reason changed her mind
Adam Peaty’s mother has reportedly changed her mind about gatecrashing his wedding to Holly Ramsay. Caroline Peaty was uninvited to her son’s wedding amid a family feud but reports claimed she was planning an appearance anyway.
In November, the row between the Peaty family and the soon-to-be newlyweds boiled over as the Olympic swimmer uninvited multiple members of his family from his upcoming nuptials. Due to take place on 27 December in Bath Abbey, the only Peaty family member thought to be attending is Adam’s sister Bethany.
Reports later claimed that Caroline was planning to go to the wedding despite her invite being revoked. But reports have surfaced that after talking to her husband Mark, she is said to have changed her mind, realising it would be “too upsetting” to attend.

According to The Sun, Caroline had planned to show up at the Abbey but agreed not to after Mark told it would be “too upsetting to be there”. The paper quotes a family member who said: “She will not be there because it would be too sad and she don’t want to spoil his big day.”
Caroline, whose recent 60th birthday went publicly unacknowledged by her son, also shared that there is “nothing” her son could do that she “would not forgive”. Posting online, she directed her message at Adam: “I know it’s the end. But please, the message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point.
“There’s nothing you’ve done that I would not forgive. I love you so much. I hope your marriage is a good one, I don’t wish any ill on you and I want you and Holly to have a long and happy marriage. The reason I’m speaking out is I want all this to end.”
Caroline and other Peaty family members were uninvited from the wedding amid an ongoing family feud. Trouble is thought to have started last year, when Caroline clashed with bride Holly Ramsay’s dad Gordon. It was claimed that Caroline was angry that some family members hadn’t been invited to the party, which was being filmed for the celebrity chef’s docuseries.
The brewing feud exploded into the public eye after the mother of the groom, Caroline, was left out of Holly Ramsay’s glamorous hen party at Soho Farmhouse, prompting Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, to publicly criticise Holly and Adam on social media for the “hurt” inflicted.
Things worsened after Adam’s stag do, when the swimmer allegedly received “increasingly abusive and threatening” text messages. Adam was met by police officers on the runway at Manchester Airport, apparently due to concerns for his safety. His brother, James Peaty, was later arrested.
While Caroline has chosen not to head to Bath, the Ramsays are already on their way there. The family were spotted heading to the city ahead of the big day on Boxing Day.
