Caroline Peaty was also not invited to Holly Ramsay’s hen do while Adam Peaty did include his father-in-law Gordon Ramsay in plans for his stag night, it is said
Holly Ramsay may have banned her mother-in-law from her hen do because she “might have stuck out a bit,” according to insiders.
Caroline Peaty, 59, was instead at home looking after Adam’s son from his previous relationship when Holly, her own mother Tana, family friend Victoria Beckham and Adam’s sister went on the hen do last weekend. Holly and Adam, who is an Olympic swimmer, have since decided not to invite Caroline to their lavish wedding next month, it is understood.
A source close to Holly, 25, has suggested what she may have considered to reach the decision. They said: “The Ramsays are rich and they like the nicer things in life because they can afford it. On the other hand, the Peatys are far less polished. Adam has a starry new life now and it seems he has left his family behind.”
Another friend added: “You only have to look at the picture to see that there is a certain ‘type’. They all look the same and you wonder if Caroline might have stuck out a bit. She’s a normal woman, not a celebrity. You look at Holly’s Instagram and it’s all so planned, so super-glam and very, very showy. That’s not Caroline.”

Photographs shared on Instagram, including by Posh Spice, show the hen party at the super-exclusive Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire was a glitzy affair. The smiling women are seen with cocktails and champagne to celebrate Holly’s last days before she ties the knot to the athlete.
Following the gathering, Caroline posted a picture to Instagram of a quote, which read: “When you love someone, you protect them from the pain, you don’t become the cause of it.” In the caption she added: “The ones I love are the people who hurt me the most.”
Fans jumped in the comments to continue to dig at Adam and the growing animosity with his mother. One wrote: “You only get one mother in life, some people need to remember this.” Another said: “Hold your head up high; not many Mums would’ve got up at 4am for those pool runs. Adam should be so proud.”

And Caroline’s sister, Louise Williams, also became embroiled in the row when she jumped in to call influencer Holly “divisive and hurtful” in a rant about the family rift. The woman, from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, wrote to Holly on Instagram: “I’m so glad that you had a great hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman [Caroline], who I have loved and continue to love deeply.
“A woman who opened her home and heart to you. You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother-in-law, to your hen night yet Adam invited his father-in-law, your dad, to his stag night.
“You invited your mum (quite rightly) and even your mum’s assistant, your sisters, your friends, my niece, but not my sister, your future mother-in-law.”
The Daily Mail reports Caroline and husband Mark had initially been invited to the wedding, which will take place at Bath Abbey, and she had even bought a dress for the occasion. However, when Holly revoked the invite amid the bitter feud, Caroline’s other sister, Janet, wrote online Holly and Adam had “broken my darling sister”.
Despite the row, Holly’s family is said to adore Adam. A source said: “The thing with someone like Gordon is that he is kind and caring, he adores his kids and their partners, but he generally gets whatever he wants.
“No matter what family dynamics are at play, when you have a normal side of a family and a very, very rich and globally famous one on the other, there are going to be difficulties.”
