Authorities have taken Adam Peaty’s brother into custody following accusations of sending threats to the Olympic swimmer during his bachelor party weekend.

On Monday, it emerged that Adam’s mother, Caroline, 59, has been excluded from his upcoming Christmas nuptials to 25-year-old Holly Ramsay, due to a family disagreement. The friction has led to accusations of narcissism directed at Adam by his relatives.

However, confidants within the Ramsay circle have highlighted broader issues within the Peaty family, suggesting these underlying tensions are at the root of the dispute and are quite severe.

A source revealed that both Holly and Adam, 30, have faced ‘horrible’ threats of violence, prompting police involvement.

According to The Sun, Adam’s brother, James, 34, was apprehended at his residence in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, on Monday and subsequently released on bail.

Adam reportedly had to be escorted from a plane by armed police on Sunday night after receiving threats on his stag do.

Adam and Holly Ramsay’s feud with his family has reached fever pitch after claims of threats of violence against the couple were reported – as their very public row escalates even further

He is said to have been met by five uniformed police officers who flanked him through immigration and baggage reclaim, after the aircraft touched down at Manchester Airport.

They said CCTV was also monitored by authorities for suspicious activity and Adam was escorted from the building into a waiting vehicle.

The police presence came following fears he could be assaulted as shaken Adam initially contacted his fiancée Holly, who then alerted police.

Representatives for Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay have been contacted by Daily Mail. 

A friend revealed: ‘The issues that have been reported don’t stem from hen do or wedding invitations; it goes so much deeper. 

‘Things escalated over the weekend when someone became increasingly abusive and threatening over text. Adam was trying to enjoy his stag do and was getting freaked out by it all.

‘He then received a threat that he’d be met off the plane. He told Holly who called the cops after consulting with her family.’

The friend added that Holly’s parents, chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana have been ‘100 per cent supportive’ of them.

Adam and James’ dad Mark told The Sun on Thursday: ‘They’re brothers. They’ve always been close but like any normal family, brothers fight, argue, fall out, make-up and start all over again. But it’s got out of hand.

On Monday, it was revealed the Olympian’s mum Caroline (left) has been banned from attending Adam’s Christmas wedding to Holly as a result of the fallout

‘There’s been very little empathy towards Jamie’s genuine mental health difficulties.’

However a source close to Adam and Holly said: ‘This feud is heart-breaking from both sides.

‘But the reality is that Adam sees his mum Caroline to be enabling his brother’s actions rather than pushing him to deal with his demons. Poor Caroline must feel utterly torn and it’s just very hard for everyone.

The sighting came after the Peatys took social media in force to claim they have been overlooked from the couple’s wedding plans because they are ‘simple people on benefits’, who do not fit in with the Ramsays’ polished look.

Sources close to the situation told the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind that the accusations from team Ramsay have not reflected favourably upon them.

The insider told the Daily Mail: ‘It all seems rather unedifying for Team Ramsay to come out and throw around accusations about a normal, ordinary family like the Peatys.’ The full exclusive report is available to read here.
