Adam Peaty's mother Caroline spotted looking downcast amid wedding controversy

Adam Peaty's mother, Caroline, has been seen for the first time since reportedly being snubbed from her son's Christmas wedding to Holly Ramsay, just weeks before the big day. 

The tension between the couple and Caroline is believed to have begun when she was not invited to Holly's hen party, which counted Victoria Beckham and Holly's mother, Tana Ramsay, among its guests.

In newly released photos by Mirror, Caroline was spotted chatting with a friend in Staffordshire. 

One looker said: 'She didn't look happy but what can you expect? It has been a tough week for her and the family and there is no end in sight.' 

She was dressed in a grey cardigan over a black-and white time since that she alleged wedding snub. Reports suggest she has not only been left out of the hen party but is also reportedly missing from the wedding guest list. 

The situation has sparked public attention, with family members sharing their opinions online. Caroline's sister, Louise Williams, said the hen do incident had left her sibling 'heartbroken,' and claimed Adam had 'said the most vile things a son can say to his mother.' 

Prior to the reported fallout, Caroline appeared to enjoy a warm and affectionate relationship with her son's fiancée, Holly Ramsay. 

Just a few months ago, she took to Instagram to celebrate Holly's birthday, posting a heartfelt message that reflected the close bond the families once shared.
