Adam Peaty’s sister Bethany is the only member of his side who appears to have survived the bitter family fallout ahead of his wedding to Holly Ramsay.
The Olympic swimmer and the daughter of chef Gordon Ramsay have banned Adam’s mother Caroline from their wedding after an astonishing family row over Holly’s failure to invite her future mother-in-law to her hen party.
The move sparked a huge response from the Peaty family, with Adam’s aunt Louise blasting her nephew and his fiancée 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’.
But one member of Adam’s side of the family appears to have survived the feud, his sister Bethany – who did make the cut for Holly’s picture perfect Cotswolds hen do.
Now, The Sun has reported that the real reason Bethany made the cut is because she ‘fits in’ to the Ramsays’ glamorous world because ‘she’s blonde and pretty’.
And it is claimed Bethany herself has had her head turned by the celebrity lifestyle.

Bethany was also reportedly asked to be one of Holly’s bridesmaids at the wedding.
A friend close to the family told the publication: ‘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.’
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Adam for comment.
It comes just two days after Adam broke his silence amid the toxic family rift by sharing a statement in which he also spoke on Bethany’s behalf, cementing their allegiance.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, 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.

Adam came from humble Staffordshire beginnings born to his mother Caroline and father Mark – but his Olympic success propelled him into the world of fame of fortune
‘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 [his sister], 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.’
He also explained that he, Holly and Bethany cannot go into detail due to ‘an ongoing police investigation into serious matters that arose long before recent events’.
Last week it was revealed Holly and Adam have banned his mother from their wedding after an astonishing family row over Holly’s failure to invite her future mother-in-law to her hen party.
The influencer daughter of fiery chef Gordon Ramsay welcomed her own mother Tana, family friend Victoria Beckham and Adam’s sister to her pre-nuptial celebrations at the celebrity hotspot Soho Farmhouse.
A source close to Adam’s working-class family claimed the apparent snub happened after the swimmer, who was once close to his mother, had distanced himself from her after being seduced by the fame and glamour of the Ramsays.
When the row came to light, Adam’s aunt Louise blasted her nephew and his fiancée Holly in a series of Instagram comments, where she also detailed the reason why her sister was not invited to the bride’s hen party.

Over the weekend, Caroline also broke her silence on the rift in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, breaking down in tears as she claimed Holly’s family are ‘pulling him away from her’. You can read the full interview here.
In a post on Instagram, Caroline shared the quote: ‘The moment you realise: The little sister who once drove you crazy is now the one who keeps you sane – your loudest supporter and forever best friend.
‘She eventually becomes the comfort zone which every elder sister secretly needed all along.’
Caroline added the caption: ‘Louise I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my protector through this difficult time x
‘To the people who are being so cruel to my sister, please stop! Sadly you obviously don’t understand the bond of sisters.’
