Earlier in the day, two-time gold medallist Valerie wrote about the upcoming Adams family reunion, saying: "The Adams's are about to get together. Best of luck to all non Adams's in the mix."

She then posted a picture of herself alongside younger brother Steven, saying it had been three years since she had seen "the lil bro".
