It’s been reported that Nicola Peltz and mother-in-law Victoria Beckham haven’t seen eye to eye since back in 2022 when Nicola married Brooklyn as the alleged feud takes a new turn

Nicola Peltz has reportedly been branded a “narcissist” by a source as it’s also claimed she had a “huge influence” over Brooklyn Beckhams’ family fallout. This comes as it has been reported that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola haven’t been getting on with his family and have barely seen them over the last few months.

Victoria Beckham allegedly has a particular problem with her, with sources claiming that Nicola is a “narcissist”. The pair were said to have had issues three years ago when Brooklyn and Nicola were tying the knot in 2022, but it was thought that she and Victoria had managed to put that behind them.

It is believed to have arisen when Victoria was allegedly disappointed Nicola chose to wear a Valentino dress rather than a dress designed by her own label. Nicola denied the rumours, calling them “hurtful”.

“I was going to [wear Victoria Beckham] and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realised that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,” she told Variety at the time. The pair quashed rumours of a feud between them back then. However, it’s said they’re no longer on good terms anymore.

The Mail On Sunday reported that a source claimed: “The view is that Nicola is a narcissist. Nicola has love-bombed Brooklyn since the day they met and has tried to convince him that she is all he needs, and then she has cut him off from his family.

“Nicola has used Brooklyn for all she can get to elevate herself and that has really worked for her – she’s a Beckham now. Victoria absolutely loves her son – she always will. But with Nicola it’s an entirely different story. She despises her, she tried her best to make up after the wedding row but this time it all seems extremely unlikely. Victoria has had enough.”

They added that the Beckham family think “Nicola is a nightmare”. The Beckhams’ relationship with Nicola is reported to have become particularly strained recently when one of the billionaire-heiress’ friends claimed that there is “emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family”.

The pal said: “We are at this point because Nicola, an outsider coming into the Beckham family, has been able to help Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family, that it’s not healthy and it’s not normal and it’s not ok.”

David and Victoria are outraged by the claims, but those close to them reject the allegations. A source close to the family told the Mirror they had been left “open-mouthed” that Nicola’s friends were “pumping out untruths”. The source added: “You wouldn’t expect this of your worst enemy, let alone close family members. The whole thing beggars belief.”

The alleged feud re-emerged during David’s 50th celebrations, where Nicola and Brooklyn were no where to be seen. The family celebrated the footballer’s birthday on three different occasions – an intimate family event at their Cotswolds home, a trip to France and the final event – a boozy dinner party held in Notting Hill, London.

It’s been said that the couple didn’t go to the events due to Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull attended, when she is rumoured to have had history with Brooklyn in the past as well.

The Mirror have contacted the Beckhams’ and Nicola’s reps for comment.

Katie Price snuggled up close with five of her favourite pets over the weekend and shared a cute snap of her cats and dogs – hours after leaving fans concerned by a pet video

Katie Price has proudly shown off five of her pets after sparking alarm over the way she cares for some of her wildlife. The 46-year-old mum-of-five has attracted unwanted attention over the years over the fact animals have died in her care.

But over the weekend, the glamour model was celebrating some of her favourite furry friends as she took to social media to show off the pets that she loves and cares for. Taking to Instagram Stories, she shared a photo of her three hairless Sphynx cats and two dogs all snuggled together.

She added a simple caption to the image, writing: “My babies.” The new image came just hours after she sparked outrage by sharing a video clip of a dog hanging out the window of a car.

She captioned the video clip, shared via Snapchat, to write: “Anyone else have a pet like this?” The simple post attracted a wall of anger from followers who expressed concern for the pooch, however.

Among complainers is the animal charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) – who slammed the star for sharing her video on social media. A spokesperson told The Sun: “While it’s wonderful for dogs to enjoy the great outdoors and lovely when guardians include them on suitable outings, it can be damned dangerous to have the car window lowered enough for them to jump or fall out.”

Highlighting the risks to the dog, the spokesperson said: “A sudden stop, sharp turn, or tempting distraction can quickly turn a fun trip into a tragedy.”

The latest intervention from Peta comes after they previously offered to pay her thousands of pounds to stop buying pets. Offering the glamour model £5,000, they said in a past statement: “things have gone horribly wrong with many of the animals under her supervision.”

In June 2023, Katie’s German Shepherd Blade was struck on the busy A24, close to her home in East Sussex. Sharing her grief at the time, she wrote in an online post: “Words can’t express the lost of my best friend my protector my absolutely everything who had sadly passed away today. I have no words to say how I’m feeling but numb and shocked rip Blade.”

Six months earlier, her pet Pomeranian Sharon was killed, reportedly in a horror crash on the same road. And the year before that, Katie’s Alsatian Queenie, a present from her ex Kieran Hayler, was allegedly hit by a pizza delivery driver.

She wrote on social media at the time: “I’m absolutely devastated… she was killed by a heartless delivery driver who ran into our dog seeing her struggle and drove off without telling and left her to die.”

Another Alsatian belonging to the star was killed on the A24 in 2020 – but it’s not just dogs that have died in tragic circumstances. A horse was also killed on the busy road in 2017 when it escaped from a field.

In July 2020, French bulldog Rolo died after getting stuck under an electric armchair. The pet had been a present for Katie’s daughter, Princess Andrei’s 13th birthday and the mum called what happened a ‘freak accident’.

The glamour model attempted to revive the pet before rushing him to the vet, where she learned it was sadly too late. “There was nothing they could do, but they did say he wouldn’t have died in pain, it was quick,” she explained on YouTube at the time.

A number of reality TV stars are said to have tried to sneak out of the BAFTA Awards in a bid to find food after being left dismayed at the lack of dishes on offer in the venue

As the hours-long BAFTA Awards took place in London, a number of celebrities were said to be fuming at the lack of food on offer. The annual event, held at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, celebrated the best in British talent on-screen.

However, for some it’s thought the long show could have done with offering food to those in the seats. Despite being offered drinks, there is said to have been very little food on offer for attendees, which left some stars reportedly trying to source their own.

According to The Sun, the duo had hoped to run to a shop nearby to source snacks for the lengthy ceremony. However, it’s claimed the reality TV stars were told in no uncertain circumstances that if they were to leave, there would be no option to return. It reportedly left the pair backing down from their quest.

At the awards ceremony, Danny Dyer broke a rule on stage, with Alan Cumming forced to apologise. The incident, however, wasn’t show during the BBC’s run. He was elated as he was presented the BAFTA for Best Male Performance in a Comedy.

The former EastEnders man received the gong for his impressive performance in Sky Comedy series Mr Bigstuff. When it came to accepting the prize, he admitted: “The acting was so bad it was funny”.

He then said a little too much as he swore in his speech, despite having being warned earlier about the Bafta rules. Danny said he was getting “choked up” as he gave his acceptance speech.

Dedicating the award win to writer Ryan Sampson, Danny said: “He’s one of the greatest people ever to come out of Rotherham – not saying much. You won this for me mate.”

He then went on: “Girls – Sunni, Dani, I done it,” before breaking the rules, blurting out: “I f***ing done it.” The 47-year-old star’s vocabulary left host Alan needing to say he was “asked to apologise” for the language from Danny.

Other award winners on the night included The Jury: Murder Trial, which won Best Reality programme. The show surprisingly pipped The Traitors to the title

Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning also took to the stage following her own win. She explained how her life has been “changed” by the hit Netflix show as she collected a TV BAFTA for her chilling performance in the drama.

The 39-year-old actress from Yorkshire played the role of crazed Scottish stalker Martha in the Netflix series, which was written by and starred comedian Richard Gadd,

All the winners at this year’s BAFTA TV Awards as the 2025 stars came together at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall to celebrate the best of British TV

The BAFTA TV Awards have returned for another year as the very best of the small screen celebrate with a glitzy night in the capital. Stars of TV have descended on Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London in the hopes of securing a huge win.

The past year has certainly seen a wide variety of programmes captivate audiences. This year, the award ceremony was dominated by Baby Reindeer, Mr Bates Vs the Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses.

Hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer topped the list with a total of eight nominations, followed by Mr Bates Vs the Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses – which had six apiece.

Away from the heavy hitters, big names were also up for multiple awards. DIY star Stacey Solomon received two nominations while former EastEnders actor Danny Dyer received his first ever BAFTA TV nomination.

David Tennant, Claudia Winkleman, Graham Norton, Ant and Dec and many more were all up for gongs. Before the show, they all made sure to walk the red carpet as they showed off their glamour.

Maura Higgins made her highly anticipated return to the red carpet, marking the first time since her kiss scandal with McFly’s Danny Jones. The married singer shocked when he was filmed kissing Maura at the BRIT Awards earlier this year.

In an effort to avoid an awkward run in, Danny who won the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… and is a coach on The Voice, swerved the ceremony.

It didn’t stop Maura making her comeback, however, as she made her grand return in a baby blue ballgown. She proved she is happy staying single as she took TikTok star Luke Hamnett along as her date for the evening.

The drama didn’t just stay on the red carpet either, as one star made a slight error when accepting their award. Sophie Wilan broke the strict no swear rule during her speech.

“It’s been s*** hot” she said before realising and covering her mouth, while the crowd laughed. As the 2025 ceremony has been filled with plenty of glam and drama, here is a look at this year’s winners…

Danny Dyer was handed a BAFTA at London’s Royal Festival Hall for his performance inSky Comedy series Mr Bigstuff. However, the ceremony’s host, Alan Cumming, had to apologise for his actions

Danny Dyer was elated to win a coveted BAFTA Award on Sunday, but host Alan Cumming quickly apologised for the star’s actions. Danny was presented the BAFTA for Best Male Performance in a Comedy and he couldn’t hide his delight.

The former EastEnders man won the accolade for his performance in Sky Comedy series Mr Bigstuff. When it cameto accepting the prize, Dyer admitted: “The acting was so bad it was funny”.

Dedicating the gong to writer Ryan Sampson, Danny said: “He’s one of the greatest people ever to come out of Rotherham – not saying much. You won this for me mate.”

He then added: “Girls – Sunni, Dani, I done it,” before breaking the rules, emphatically saying: “I f***ing done it.” The 47-year-old star’s vocab left Alan Cumming needing to say he was “asked to apologise” for the language from Danny.

He wasn’t the only one to break the no swearing rule, though. Sophie Wilan was also a rule breaker during her speech for Alma’s Not Normal winning best Scripted Comedy.

“It’s been s*** hot,” she said. She soon realised her error and covered her mouth. However, her mishap was well received by the star-studded crowd, who laughed at her actions.

Elsewhere, the BBC won the sport Bafta TV award for its coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympics, while host Alan Cumming also quizzed Gavin and Stacey star Rob Brydon on the mysterious fishing trip from the hugely popular BBC series.

The Welsh star’s character Bryn West and his nephew Jason are constantly asked by members of their family in the sitcom about their unknown fishing trip in which they go camping together. However, each character swore to keep it secret.

Alan turned to Rob, who was sitting with fellow Gavin And Stacey actors in the Bafta audience, to ask about the trip. “Please answer it for us now. Uncle Bryn, what actually happened in that camping trip?,” he said.

Brydon began to speak and replied “I never talk” before Alan cuts him off and moves onto the next nomination, which received huge applause and laughter at the eveng.

“Oh, sorry, Rob. We’ve got to go straight on with the next award. We’ll pick it up at next year’s Bafta,” he joked.

Other award winners on the night included The Jury: Murder Trial, which won Best Reality programme. It pipped The Traitors to the title.

Collecting the award, producer Ed Kellie said: “This proves that reality TV can actually be about something.”

Mysterious Girl singer Peter Andre has shared his anxiety when he travels Down Under to see his ailing mum, Thea, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s

Peter is set to visit his elderly parents in Australia

Peter Andre has admitted he is “anxious” about going to see his mum in Australia. The pop star, 52, headed Down Under for work and revealed he regularly visited his ailing mother, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

However, he said doing so left him feeling anxious as he was leaving his family at home. The Mysterious Girl singer shares teenagers Junior and Princess with ex-wife and former glamour model Katie Price, while he has Amelia, Theo and Arabella with his current wife Emily MacDonagh.

He admitted travelling to Australia is always bittersweet and said it’s hard having his close family separated by so much distance.

Speaking to OK! after his latest trip to Oz, Peter said: “It’s always so hard leaving the children when I travel. I get quite anxious before I leave.

“But I also feel anxious because I’m going to see my mum for a very limited amount of time in Australia. I’ve seen Mum and Dad everyday in between work, so it’s bittersweet.”

He added: “I’m so happy to see them, but also happy that I’ll get to go back and be with the children.”

In January, Peter said he and his brother had headed to Australia to spend quality time with his parents Thea and Savvas. In 2023, he revealed that his 88-year-old mother, Thea, had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Thea lives in Australia with Peter’s father, Savvas, as she faces her declining health. Last year, Peter celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary and paid tribute to them, at the time acknowledging how “really tough it is to see your parents age or become ill.”

Peter has admitted his struggle seeing his parents get older

Speaking to OK! in his column, at the time, he said: “Being with my mum and dad in Australia was incredible, but understandably also very emotional. I went with my brother, Michael, and we got to spend quality time with my sister as well.

“The hardest bit for me is leaving them. Both Mum and Dad are on the decline, unfortunately, especially my mum.”

He added: “Every moment was incredible. Thank you to everyone for all the lovely messages I received when I was there. Even though I know it’s part of life, I can assure you it doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.”

Peter recently divided fans as he showed off his family’s trip to SeaWorld in Abu Dhabi. Peter took to social media to share an array of sweet snaps from the recent family holiday with his entire clan.

But some fans weren’t happy with his choice of locations and let him know in the comments section of his post. He initially wrote: “We had the best time at @yasisland exploring all the parks. So special to have the whole family together, there truly is something for everyone. We’ll definitely be back!”

One user pleaded: “Looks like an amazing trip but can we all agree SeaWorld is hell for animals and not go there? Thank you please. Especially our favourite celebrities with huge followings.”

TV presenter Stacey Solomon is re-wearing her wedding dress from three years ago to this years BAFTA red carpet after getting her stylist pal to tweak it

TV star Stacey Solomon posted a heart-felt Instagram story with her followers as she revealed that she was re-wearing her wedding dress to attend the BAFTA TV Awards. The 35 year old mum of five, married actor turned presenter Joe Swash in 2022 in a lavish ceremony surrounded by friends and family.

But since the couple’s memorable day, her wedding gown has been safely tucked away – until now that is. The TV presenter has chosen to re-wear her wedding gown to tonight’s BAFTA TV Awards red carpet and it’s already proving to be a nostalgic moment.

The TV star, who became a national favourite following her stint on the X Factor in 2009, posted a video of her stylist and friend Faye, sat at her sewing machine while altering her gown.

She captioned the post saying: “Today I’m wearing my wedding dress. It makes me so sad that this is my favourite most special dress I ever bought & I’ve only ever worn it once.” She added that the fact she had only worn it once prompted her to ask Faye to tweak it slightly to make it red carpet ready.

And immediately, Stacey was inundated with comments from fans. One person wrote: “That’s a fabulous idea Stacey.” Another person penned: “Can’t wait to see you in it x.” A third said: “Omg” Can’t wait.”

Sharing snaps of the finished dress on her main Instagram grid, Stacey was all smiles as she posed in her altered wedding dress at her Pickle Cottage home. “off to the BAFTAs,” the mum-of-five began in her caption. ” I’m so excited & so grateful to have been nominated for TWO @bafta this year. What in the heck is life.”

“Thank you BAFTA for this honour. And thank you to my @sortyourlifeout family & @bbciplayer for giving me the chance to present the most special show, it’s the best job in the world & I love every second of it. I decided to have my wedding dress re worked for today because wearing it once feels like a travesty to me.

“I wanted to get her out of the box & take her out on another special day. Thank you @fayesawyerstylist & Issy for transforming my wedding dress into something so special & beautiful. I love you girls. Thank you penny for making me feel so beautiful as always. HERE WE GO! Fingers crossed.”

Last year, Stacey and her team won the National Television Award for Sort Your Life Out but earlier this month, Stacey turned the cameras on herself, as she filmed her own reality TV show.

The BBC reality show follows her and life with Joe at their sprawling Essex home, along with their children, ducks and dogs. But it seems watching the show back themselves has highlighted issues in their own marriage that they had previously overlooked.

And now, following the first series, the couple has sought the help of a marriage counsellor. However, the show was clearly a success as the BBC has commissioned a second series of Stacey and Joe.

At the time, a source told OK!: “They underestimated how difficult it was going to be doing this reality show and having cameras around, and watching it back hasn’t been the easiest thing.”

They added: “The pressures of all the kids and work while balancing their relationship has been hard, they won’t deny that. They’re going to therapy because they love each other and would never want to get to the point where they don’t want to be together anymore.”

The source continued: “Yes, there have been ups and downs and it’s been quite a rollercoaster – but they know there’s no shame in therapy and both realise it’s the best thing for their relationship and to iron out their issues.”

10 Years Younger star Nicky Hambleton-Jones opens up about how her mother’s advanced dementia pushed her to embrace life in her fifties, inspiring a bold new outlook, career comeback and a vow to chase adventure while she can.

Nicky Hambleton-Jones shares how her mother’s advanced dementia has pushed her to seek more adventures

This Morning stylist Nicky Hambleton-Jones has opened up about how her mother’s advanced dementia has changed her perspective on life – and how it has inspired her to live more boldly than ever before. The 54-year-old fashion expert, who recently returned to screens in the ITV show’s Drop A Decade segment, said witnessing her mum’s decline has given her a renewed sense of urgency to embrace new adventures.

“My mum has advanced dementia, which gives me that sense of urgency,” Nicky explained in an exclusive chat with OK!. “There’s nothing I won’t do any more. Before I’d be too scared, but now I’m like, ‘Let’s go river rafting, let’s go climb a mountain!’ I’m having more adventures than I’ve ever had.”

Rather than being daunted by midlife, Nicky said she’s choosing to see her fifties as a time to live more fully. “People dread the big 5-0, then you realise the world doesn’t freeze over. You still look the same, you still feel the same,” she said. “But you do realise life is short, so if there’s something you want to do, you’ve just got to get on with it.”

Nicky’s new mentality didn’t come easily. The former 10 Years Younger host said it took her time to rebuild her confidence after being unexpectedly dropped from the Channel 4 makeover series and replaced by Myleene Klass — an experience that she said made her feel like “a failure.”

“When that happened, it was a shock. Everything evaporated overnight and I felt like such a failure,” she tells us, “I fixated on people seeing me as a loser. It took a lot of time to reprogramme that and it doesn’t happen overnight.”

Despite the setback, Nicky refused to let that moment define her. Determined to bounce back, she threw herself into rebuilding her career and confidence – a process that began, she says, with “Getting up every day, putting on my lipstick and dressing for the person I want to be.”

The South African mum-of-two – who shares Ben, 15, and Georgina, 12, with husband Rob – said her return to the spotlight was far from easy. “I was terrified. I didn’t sleep the night before and I was shaking the whole way through it,” she admitted of her comeback on This Morning. “But the other option was to do nothing, so I told myself to just do it.”

Nicky has channelled her journey into a new book, Bolder Not Older, which aims to empower people to embrace fashion and self-confidence at any age. She’s also open about dabbling in cosmetic tweaks like Botox, but insists her goal isn’t to look younger – just to look and feel her best. “I don’t want to look ‘done’,” she said. “I just want to look good for my age.”

Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman has been married to film producer Kris Thykier for 24 years – but there is one thing that stops her getting intimate with him

Strictly’s own Claudia Winkleman has made a rather unusual admission regarding her bedroom antics with hubby Kris Thykier. The much-loved 53 year old telly star confesses there’s an intimacy no-go if Kris has been guzzling water.

Dishing the peculiar detail on the Off Menu podcast, headed by comedic duo Ed Gamble and James Acaster back in 2020, Claudia revealed her aversion to water is quite serious. “I don’t like or believe in water, I won’t have it,” she quipped. Apparently, even a glass of water approaching her at a table is enough to raise flags, as she says: “It’s a solid no from me.”

Claudia dived deeper into this phobia affecting her love life, remarking: “My husband drinks great amounts of water and I really like him but it’s problematic. He’s glugging. Don’t touch me. ‘Claud, take your bra off.’ I don’t think so – you should be ashamed of yourself.”

The mum-of-three gave us more context: “Imagine you’re on a date – I’ve been with the same man for 100 years. He’s sitting there and he’s like: ‘I don’t know what to have, what are you going to have? Maybe we should have the same thing.’ And someone comes round and says: ‘Would you like some water? And he goes: ‘Yeah, sure,’” reports OK!.

“And they give him a pint glass of water and he drinks the whole thing. Are you going to want to kiss this many anymore? No. A wet mouth with a big fleshy tongue that is covered in liquid.”

Claudia was on James Acaster’s podcast(Image: Redferns)

Claudia then shockingly revealed her peculiar aversion, stating it’s not just water that turns her off, but practically all fluids. “I want a dry shrivelled up little man, I want to sleep with Mr Burns, he doesn’t drink water, I want him at the table,” she explained.

“I just don’t like liquid, I don’t like wine, there’s all kinds of stuff. Is this too weird?”

Married for the past 24 years to movie producer Kris, Claudia tied the knot back in 2000. The pair share three kids: Jake, Matilda, and Arthur.

Claudia wows audiences presenting a series of TV shows – she co-hosts Strictly Come Dancing on the BBC, alongside her pal Tess Daly, and also presents The Piano and The Traitors. The line-up for the celebrity version of The Traitors has been revealed. Filming is underway for the hit BBC show – also hosted by Claudia Winkleman – and some very famous faces are set to enter the Scottish castle.

As previously confirmed by The Mirror, comedians Bob Mortimer and Alan Carr and former child star Charlotte Church lead the list of big names.

Soap favourite Alan Halsall has shared a sweet picture with his new girlfriend and daughter as the Coronation Street star announces his “serious” new relationship

Coronation Street favourite Alan Halsall has gone public with his new girlfriend. The soap star is dating human resources co-ordinator Ellie Dolan, we can reveal.

Insiders say their relationship is “serious”, with stunning Ellie having already met Alan’s beloved daughter Sienna. Proud Alan posted a picture with his two favourite ladies on Friday night, captioned with a heart. It’s the first time the actor has been pictured with Ellie. A source said: “Alan is really happy. Ellie is a great girl and they have lots of common. And she gets on so well with Sienna, which is so important to Alan. Sienna is his world.”

The pair are thought to have met at the Marriott Worsley Park golf club, where Alan is a member and who Ellie works for.

Alan split from his Corrie co-star Tisha Merry, 31, in 2024 after five years. The pair met on the set of the ITV soap.

He has daughter Sienna, 11, with his ex-wife and former Corrie and Hollyoaks actress Lucy-Jo Hudson, 42. The pair were married from 2009 until 2018.

Alan, 42, has played mechanic Tyrone Dobbs for 26 years. He took part on the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity, finishing sixth place.

Talking about his love life in the jungle, he said: “I love what I’ve got, even now I’m on my own I love just being dad. I’ve never done dating apps.”

The other woman in his life is close friend and co-star Jennie McAlpine. The pair play husband and wife Tyrone and Fizz on Corrie. In a recent post showing the pair enjoying lunch together, Alan lovingly called Jennie his “work wife”.

Corrie fans have loved tuning in to their 22-year on-off relationship, willing them to live happily ever after. The childhood sweethearts came close to marrying in 2015 when he proposed on Christmas Day. But when Tyrone’s debts came to light, the wedding was shelved.

The couple broke up in 2021, when he cheated on her with beautician Alina. But then finally tied the knot the following year.

Fiz married serial killer John Stape (Graeme Hawley) in prison in 2009 and tied the knot with Phill Whittaker (Jamie Kenna) this year, only to dump him for Tyrone on her wedding night.

Tyrone has had two trips down the aisle, with Molly Compton (Vicky Binns) in 2009, and he made it as far as the church with abusive Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede) before dumping her.
