The swimmer, 30, was escorted off the aircraft by five uniformed police officers when he arrived at Manchester Airport from Budapest on Sunday night.

Officers flanked the two-time gold-medalist because his fiancee Holly Ramsay, 25, had alerted police after Adam received a threat that "he'd be met off the plane" following his trip to the Hungarian capital.

She made the call after a shaken Adam told her he feared being assaulted once he touched back down in the UK.

After disembarking the flight, the Olympian remained surrounded by police through immigration and baggage reclaim in the terminal.

He was then escorted from the building into a waiting vehicle, while CCTV images were monitored by authorities for suspicious activity.

Holly's parents, chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana, have been "100 per cent supportive" of the pair.

The couple are set for a Christmas wedding at Bath Abbey next month, which Adam's mum Caroline, 59, has reportedly been disinvited from.

It comes after the bride-to-be Holly didn't invite her future mother-in-law to her hen party, which was attended by celebrities like Victoria Beckham.

Adam's aunt Louise Williams took to social media platform Threads to claim Adam had said "the most vile things a son can say to his mother", adding her family "place real value on love and loyalty".

In another post, she accused Adam and Holly of being "bullies", writing: "A group of bullies consists of fewer bullies and more sycophants, and the former can't function without the latter.

A source close to Caroline says the mother feels hurt that her son sees her as "not good enough" to match up with the Ramsays socially.

"Adam has changed and he is almost a bully. He has been so horrible to his mum and he is now trying to exclude her from his life," the source told the Daily Mail.

"She is worried sick about all this and can't believe it is happening."

After the wedding, guests will be heading lavish country estate Kin House in Chippenham, a 40-minute drive from the centre of Bath.

The sought-after wedding venue can accommodate 200 guests on site, with 12 bedrooms suitable for up to 24 guests.
