ADAM Peaty’s dad Mark has broken cover and been seen for the first time since his son married Holly Ramsay yesterday.

The devastated dad and his wife Caroline were snubbed from the star-studded big day amid a bitter family feud.

We revealed that Adam allegedly told Mark he could only attend if he sat at the back of Bath Abbey, where the lavish celebration took place.

But Mark declined, finding the offer insulting, and remained at home 150 miles away as Adam tied the knot.

Today, he has been pictured walking his dog, worlds away from the glitz and glamour of his son’s big day.

Mark kicked on with his day-to-day duties, wearing an orange coat and beanie hat for the drizzly walk.

ICY MESSAGE

Adam Peaty ‘sent brutal text by aunt moments before marrying Holly Ramsay’

ROWS, VOWS & WOWS

Peaty’s dad ‘told he could attend wedding but would have to sit at back’

The family was split last month after Caroline was not included at Holly’s hen do at the swanky Soho Farmhouse, Oxfordshire, and was subsequently uninvited from the wedding.

Holly’s mum Tana and close pal Victoria Beckham were both in attendance at the girly get together near to the Beckhams’ country home.

Things escalated when Holly later called cops after Adam’s brother James allegedly made threats via text while Adam was on his stag do.

We reported last night how Adam had infuriated dad Mark with his church ultimatum.

It was in stark contrast to Adam’s sister Bethany, who was a maid of honour.

Our source said: “It was a difficult day for Caroline and Mark, so the family spent the evening together.

“Caroline got upset as soon as she saw the photographs from the wedding.

“For him to turn around and tell Beth that his dad could come and sit at the back of the church is awful.

“Mark was told he could sit behind plus-ones — who Adam has probably never even seen or spoken to.”

Meanwhile celeb guests like TV presenter Dan Walker, chef Marcus Wareing and the Beckhams arrived to much fanfare.

Adam reportedly received a stinging text from his estranged aunt Louise just moments before walking down the aisle, according to the Daily Mail.

She is said to have let him know her feelings with full force, telling him “shame on you both”.

Her text allegedly read: “I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still. Shame on you both. Shame.

“Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.”

The sentiments were echoed by other family members, with Adam’s great aunt Janet, 73, telling the publication: “I just feel so sorry for Caroline.

“I can’t believe he’s done this to his mother who’s done so much for him from an early age. To be treated like this is not kind.”

The star’s swimming coach Melanie Marshall stepped in to deliver a reception speech, in place of his brothers.

Proud dad Gordon walked his daughter down the aisle. Mum Tana gave a reading.

Holly arrived nearly 30 minutes late, wearing a bridal cape over her Christmas-themed dress.

A large crowd of onlookers cheered the couple as they emerged before the pair were whisked off in a black Rolls-Royce to the reception at plush Kin House in Kington Langley, Wilts.

The maids of honour wore dresses designed by Victoria in red, while Tana wore a similar style dress in green.

Security was tight, with guests wearing wristbands embossed with H&A.

One invitee said: “It was a lovely day, but with the wristband it felt more like a hospital appointment.”

Guests were barred from taking snaps of the service.

Adam’s mum had intended to watch from the street, despite being disinvited, but decided against it.

Also, a reminder:

Prime Directives!

• If you want to talk politics, do so respectfully and know that there’s always somebody that isn’t going to agree with you. 
• If you have political differences, hash it out respectfully, stick to the facts, and no childish name-calling or personal attacks of any kind. If you can’t handle yourself in that manner, then please, discuss virtually anything else.
• No drive-by garbage political memes. No conspiracy theory rants. Links to crackpot sites will be axed, too. Trolling and shitposting will not be tolerated. No obsessive behavior about other users. Just don’t interact with folks you don’t like. 
• Do not be a sucker and feed trolls! That’s as much on you as on them. Use the mute button if you don’t like what you see.  
• So unless you have something of quality to say, know how to treat people with respect, understand that everyone isn’t going to subscribe to your exact same worldview, and have come to terms with the reality that there is no perfect solution when it comes to moderation of a community like this, it’s probably best to just move on. 
• Finally, as always, report offenders, please. This doesn’t mean reporting people who don’t share your political views, but we really need your help in this regard.
