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.

‘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.’
