Adam Peaty’s estranged brother James has shared a message with a ‘dark hidden meaning’ to his sibling after being uninvited to his wedding.
The Strictly Come Dancing co-star, 31, married Holly Ramsay, 25, in a ceremony at Bath Abbey on Saturday, but the majority of the groom’s family were not in attendance.
Adam’s father Mark was the only person asked to attend their big day, however he was told he’d have to sit at the back ‘behind the plus ones’.
After being kicked off the invite list, James posted an old photograph with their mother Caroline Peaty standing outside of the wedding venue.
The poignant photo was deleted just 15 minutes after it was shared on his Instagram Story, perhaps signalling regret at how bitter the feud has become.
It won’t be lost on those who have followed the fallout the choice of location in the image, where Adam and Holly married just hours before the snap was posted.
The photo – taken on a different occasion – shows mother and son stood alone and dressed in what could be wedding finery in a symbolic move.
Notably, James – who was arrested for allegedly sending threatening messages to the athlete during his stag do – used a telling song alongside the image.
James’s song of choice was a remix of ‘Speak Softly, Love’, which appears several times in the iconic Mafia film, The Godfather.
The first of the trilogy was released in 1972 and tells the story of the son of a Mafia boss Michael Corleone [Al Pacino] meeting ‘outsider’ Kay Adams [Diane Keaton].
That is to say, James is comparing The Corleones to the Ramsays, who are the more powerful family – while his brother Adam is ‘the outsider’.
