Now Adam Peaty’s sister Bethany has to face the music

Dressed in a fiery red custom gown from Victoria Beckham, Bethany Peaty made a strong statement about where her loyalties lie outside Bath Abbey on Saturday afternoon.

The glam older sister of Adam Peaty was handpicked by her sibling’s bride Holly Ramsay to be one of her three Maids of Honour for her lavish wedding.

Walking arm in arm with the bride’s sisters Tilly and Megan, Bethany, 32, beamed as she headed into the Abbey, whilst her heartbroken mother Caroline watched on 130 miles away in the Staffordshire family home, which she once shared with her estranged son and Bethany.

But whilst the newlyweds have jetted away from the family drama and headed off on honeymoon, Bethany, who was the only member of the Peaty family to attend the wedding, has been left to face the music.

Insiders have claimed that Bethany’s decision to not only attend the wedding but also to accept such a prominent role in the bridal party has left her mother feeling ‘betrayed.’ 

‘Beth has betrayed her mum to see what she can get out of being the only family member who gets on with Adam and Holly,’ the source alleges, claiming that Bethany has changed since striking up a close friendship with Holly.

‘This isn’t the Bethany we all know, she’s changed her appearance and personality to fit in with the Ramsays’ celebrity lifestyle,’ the source added to The Sun.

Weeks before her bridesmaid duties, Bethany attended the bride-to-be’s hen party, which became a central point of the family rift.

Holly’s failure to invite her future mother-in-law to her hen party sparked a huge response from the Peaty family, with Adam’s aunt Louise blasting her nephew and Holly in a series of Instagram comments and later claiming her sister Caroline wasn’t invited to their wedding due to her appearance and not having the correct ‘look’.

Bethany did make the cut for Holly’s picture perfect Cotswolds hen do, with insiders claiming that she has been let into the Ramsay inner circle because the pretty blonde ‘fits in’ with their glamorous world.

A friend close to the family told The Sun last month: ‘Bethany has always been very close to Adam and she is really taken with the celebrity lifestyle, she’s had her head turned by all the glitz and glamour. 

‘She was over the moon to be at the hen party, hanging out with Victoria Beckham and couldn’t wait to tell all her friends about it.

‘She really fits in with the glam world – she’s blonde and very pretty.’

Bethany is one of Adam’s three siblings, with the swimmer also having two brothers, James and Richard, who were also both barred from the wedding. 

Bethany lives with her fiancé Dan Rogerson in Derbyshire, around an hour from her parents Staffordshire home but just 30 minutes from Adam’s luxury home in Kegworth, Leicestershire.

She is a mum of two young children and at one point worked at a local beauty salon. 

Bethany struck up a close bond with Holly soon after she started dating Adam in the spring of 2023.

In December 2024 she happily shared snaps from her brother and Holly’s December 2024 engagement party, cuddled up with the bride-to-be.

Fast forward to Holly’s Soho Farmhouse hen do in November 2025 and Bethany earned pride of place in Holly’s ‘Team Bride’ carousel of Instagram snaps, posing with the bride, her mum Tana and her sisters for one cosy photo. 

Bethany’s fiancé Dan meanwhile is believed to be close to Adam, attending his Budapest Stag do last month.  

Shortly after the stag and hen dos Adam broke his silence on the toxic family rift by sharing a statement in which he also spoke on Bethany’s behalf, cementing their allegiance. 

Taking to Instagram, Adam insisted there are ‘two sides to every story’ and that he, Holly and Bethany ‘will get through’ the ‘challenging times’.  

He penned: ‘For those who know me personally, you know that I work so hard on trying to improve myself as a person who wants to contribute to making the world a better place. 

‘I am continuing to learn about myself and how I can be the man I want to be; a worthy partner, father, businessman, friend and athlete; even through these challenging times. 

‘Bethany, Holly and I will get through this – we do not ask for sympathy. We just need people to be aware that there are always two sides to every story. 

‘To those of you who have reached out and shown kindness and understanding – thank you. It is deeply appreciated.’ 

Adam’s broken–hearted mother Caroline was said to be ‘beside herself’ with grief at missing what should have been one of the happiest days of her life. 

According to new reports on Sunday, Adam’s father Mark was the only person beside Beth asked to attend their big day, however he was told he’d have to sit at the back ‘behind the plus ones’.

Meanwhile father of the bride Gordon reportedly made a brutal dig at his new son-in-law’s parents in his speech.

Gordon, 59, waded into the Peaty family drama by saying his wife Tana ‘will be a good mum to them both’, according to a new report in The Sun which also claims Adam has now blocked his family from messaging him.

They report that in his father of the bride speech Gordon commented on how beautiful Holly looked and told Adam he was a ‘lucky man’, adding: ‘Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.’

The publication goes on to claim that Gordon couldn’t resist a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents he told his daughter Holly: ‘Shame you don’t have the same.’

Adam’s estranged mother is ‘outraged’ and ‘hurt’ that Gordon referred to their bitter family feud in his explosive father of the bride speech, a family source has said.

Caroline Peaty, who was banned from the lavish ceremony, believes the celebrity chef had ‘pre planned’ the cruel swipe against her.

A family source told the Daily Mail: ‘Caroline can’t believe Gordon brought their family troubles up his speech. It is outrageous and very hurtful.’

‘By him saying Tana will be a good mum to them both makes Caroline sound like a bad mum. It was a cruel dig at her.

‘She has always done her best for all her children. She is a very good mum. Who says this wasn’t pre-planned.?’

The source added: ‘We may not have much as a family but we have values.’
