Adam Peaty has shared photos of his adorable son George as he addressed talk over his sizzling performance on Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend.
The Olympic swimmer took to Instagram to thank fans for their support after his spellbinding Argentine tango with pro dance partner Katya Jones.
But he warned those gossiping about an 'almost kiss' at the end of the dance that their words 'have real life consequences'.

"We go again, thank you so much for all your support! Such a relief!" he wrote.
And as he shared photos of George, who he welcomed with his partner Eirianedd Munroe last September, he warned: "To everyone who sees what they want to see, your comments have real life consequences.
"I will not be lowered or overcome by your gossip. Protect your energy.
"Great to spend some much needed time today with my boy."
Adam received a raft of support on social media and was advised to ignore the 'noise.'
Fellow contestant John Whaite wrote: "You’re amazing love. You inspire so many so forget the noise."
Pro dancer Aljaz Skorjanec commented: "Beautiful! Focus on point."
Another follower said: "No need to explain yourself, just remain happy ignore all negativity."
And another said: "Fantastic dance!! Ignore the haters!!
"Anyone who knows dance will know that it's about acting the part and making it believeable which you did fantastically!
"Great acting and great dancing. Enjoy your time with your family and can't wait to see you dance again next week."
And another fan said: "Well done! Hug your boy (and girl) that but closer and get back out there and make them proud."
Many fans took to Twitter to say they thought it looked like Adam was about to kiss Katya.
As Strictly fans were in a tizzy discussing their chemistry, Adam's girlfriend Eirianedd Munroe was over on TikTok poking fun at the situation.
Using the sound of a crying baby, she scrunched up her face as if she was wailing.
And she wrote: “Watching your boyfriend almost kiss another woman on live TV … Finding out 10 million people also watched it live.”
On Saturday night one fan asked: "Errr were they just about to snog?!"
"THE CHEMISTRY!! That was seriously hot," shouted another.
"Omg. Pure filth. Loved it," said another.
"Did Adam go to kiss Katya then??!" another exclaimed.
And host Tess Daly joked after their dance: "I don't get out much but I had a lovely time."
Last weekend his girlfriend shared a photo of the couple together on Instagram and wrote: "Adam sent me a photo of himself in costume for tonight.... let me tell ya right now.. you are not reaaaddyyy!!!!! proud of ya baby."
And on Saturday she shared a photo of herself with the caption: "Not worried."
