A luxury grocery store frequented by wealthy Californians has been mercilessly mocked online for charging ludicrous prices for the most basic, everyday items.

Erewhon Market has eight locations in Los Angeles‘ most affluent neighborhoods, all with a focus on locally sourced, vegan and organic food catering to niche diets.

Products on its shelves include $20 raw milk, a $26 bottle of ‘oxygenated’ water and hot sauce costing as much as $40. It’s also known for selling upmarket prepared foods, like its popular buffalo cauliflower and collard green wrap, which sells for $15.95.

The premium grocery store started in Boston in 1966, selling macrobiotic and organic foods, but in the last five years it’s become a trendy spot for image-obsessed influencers, spurred by social media and a private equity deal in 2019.

On its website, Erewhon describes itself as ‘more than a grocery store. We are a community of people who are united in our love for pure products that protect the health of people and our planet.’

It’s a favorite of LA celebrities, who are regularly photographed walking to their luxury cars – in the valet-equipped parking lot – carrying the latest must-have accessories: an Erewhon smoothie in one hand and an Erewhon grocery bag in the other.

Last year Kourtney Kardashian collaborated with the brand on a $22 smoothie, marketed as the ‘Poosh Potion Detox Smoothie’, which contains activated charcoal, maple syrup, avocado, and protein powder, among other ingredients.

Then earlier this year, a $19 Bella Hadid smoothie was introduced, named The Kinsicle, as part of a promotion for her beverage brand Kin Euphorics. Hailey Bieber also has a ‘Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie’, priced at a mere $18.

Thanks to its offering of niche, free-range and organic food, the store has a reputation for catering to liberal Californians.

So much so that, in 2020, one branch in the Fairfax district of LA was breached by a mob of anti-maskers who viewed the store as the epitome of draconian Covid restrictions.

Much of the fame surrounding Erewhon – which has locations in Beverley Hills, Calabasas, Santa Monica, Studio City and Pasadena – is rooted in viral social media videos expressing shock at how expensive its products are.

Now an entire genre of TikTok video has emerged in which people visit the store to document the experience and flag the most outrageously priced items.

The introduction of celebrity smoothies only served to increase the buzz.

These are the 20 most obscenely priced items at Erewhon:

A gallon of Organic Pastures raw whole milk – $19.99

A gallon of raw, or unpasteurized, milk is available for $20

64-ounce bottle of Ophora ‘hyper-oxygenated’ water – $25.99

One of Erewhon’s notoriously expensive items is this ‘hyper-oxygenated’ water for $26

4 Erewhon gluten-free sesame bagels – $14.99

Your family breakfast will cost $15 at Erewhon (and plain bagels are the same price)

A bundle of three granolas – $49.50

A bundle of three different types of granola – two 12 oz jars and one 14 oz jar – is $50

6 ounces of Truff truffle-infused hot sauce – $39.99 

The store stocks a wide range of truffle-infused products, including this hot sauce for $40

For those on a dairy-free diet, coconut yogurt is a desirable alternative

Hailey Bieber’s ‘Strawberry Glaze Skin’ smoothie – $18

Erewhom’s celebrity smoothies only served to increase its popularity. But Hailey Bieber’s $18 version is a bargain in comparison with Kourtney Kardashian’s $22 smoothie

32 fl oz of Erewhon ‘Pure Rose Water’ – $10

Hydrating on a bottle of Instagram-friendly ‘Pure Rose Water’ will cost you $10

1.1 pound of Les Moulins Mahjoub couscous – $18.99

A tub of just over a pound of hand-rolled Les Moulins Mahjoub couscous is $19

A single shot serving of this ‘powerhouse’ dietary supplement costs $74

David and Victoria Beckham are preparing to give up their dream Cotswolds home nine years after purchasing the property for £6 million.

Their countryside retreat had become a safe haven for them at weekends, away from the hustle and bustle of their £25 million West London mansion.

But recently, the home – now expected to be worth £12 million – has not been the tranquil setting they wanted.

According to the Mail On Sunday, the couple have been by traffic noise from the nearby Soho Farmhouse, an exclusive venue which plays host to celebrities. 

Although they bought the house when the celebrity haunt was already open, traffic has doubled in the last two years to the venue.

Guests have to go past their luxury barn conversion to reach the hangout. 

They are now searching for serenity again, looking for a new property or land near Great Tew after Soho Farmhouse expanded.

As they scout for somewhere new to retreat to, MailOnline takes a look at their £73m property portfolio…

Making moves: David and Victoria Beckham are preparing to give up their dream Cotswolds home nine years after purchasing the property for £6 million

1996-1999: FIRST HOME

LOCATION: MANCHESTER

PRICE: £150,000 

SALE PROFIT: £40,000  

David Beckham purchased his first home in 1996 for £150,000 at the age of 21.

He was living in Manchester and playing for Manchester United. The home was where he and model first girlfriend Krista Kemp would relax with a takeaway.

She said at the time: ‘He wasn’t at all what you’d expect in a famous footballer. His lifestyle was verging on the boring.’

David met Spice Girl Victoria Adams in 1997 and proposed to her in January 1998. Victoria spent her first pregnancy in this house, but she and David moved out before their 1999 wedding.

The house was sold for £190,000, outperforming the local market by almost double.

1998-2002: A SWANKY PENTHOUSE 

LOCATION: CHESHIRE

PRICE: £317,000 

SALE PROFIT: £283,000 

Next, the couple moved on to a period penthouse in posh Alderley Edge, Cheshire, which cost them £317,000 in August 1998.

They did a series of photoshoots at the property, starting with an introduction to their baby Brooklyn in May 1999, five weeks after he was born.

For the lavish home, the living room was decorated in zebra print and the bathroom in leopard print by Victoria.

Victoria said at the time: ‘I designed it all. I picked up bits and pieces from all over America and Europe. When we were on tour, my mum would come out to America with chunks of skirting board in her suitcase for me to look at.’

There was also a huge picture of the couple kissing in the hallway. 

Although they spent a massive £40,000 on a swanky Harrods kitchen, they often bought food from local Italian Est Est Est for dinner.

David would have a spaghetti bolognese and Victoria a salad. The flat was sold in August 2002 for £600,000.

2002-2004: BARN MANSION 

LOCATION: CHESHIRE

PRICE: £1.25 MILLION 

SALE PROFIT: £500,000 

After they moved out of the penthouse, the couple moved on again to a £1.25 million converted barn nearby.

They were upsizing for their young family before the next football season began after Victoria found out that she was pregnant with Romeo, her second son.

The property boasted five bedrooms, a gym and indoor pool but was not in their hands for long.

They sold it two years later for £1.75 million after spending minimal time there.

A few months after buying it, they had also purchased a mansion in Hertfordshire, which was dubbed Beckingham Palace.

It served as a Northern base for David while he was doing his football training but Victoria stayed down south.

However, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson made it clear he didn’t expect his star to be going out in London with his wife and then toiling up the motorway for training the next day. 

There was a notorious incident in 2003 when David needed stitches over one eye after a boot was thrown in the changing room.

1999-2015: BECKINGHAM PALACE 

LOCATION: SAWBRIDGEWORTH

PRICE: £2.5 MILLION 

SALE PROFIT: £9MILLION 

In 1999, the power couple snapped up Rowneybury House (nicknamed Beckingham Palace) in Sawbridgeworth.

The home, which was on the Hertfordshire/Essex border, cost £2.5 million and boasted 24 acres.

They spent a huge £3 million on fixing up the mansion, putting in a medieval maze and floodlit tennis court.

‘Beckingham Palace’ was owned by the local council in the past and was once a home for disabled boys. 

It was a hugely extravagant home, with a reported £20,000 splashed out on a fibre-optic light display in Brooklyn’s bedroom.

David and Victoria also had their faces superimposed on a frieze of Cinderella and Prince Charming.

The lavish property also had three £10,000 gazebos, a garden pavilion with a marble floor and a £70,000 4ft-long barbecue.

Security ran to two lines of fences and many security cameras. A bespoke treehouse bought in 2004 cost £25,000.

They hung on to the house until 2015, but after David’s move to Los Angeles in 2007, the family preferred to stay in London hotels on their visits home.

An insurance tycoon bought it for £11.35 million. Property in the area rose by 87.7 per cent in that time, but taking into account the money spent on it, the Beckhams increased the house’s value only by 54.3 per cent — meaning that it under-performed.

2002 – PRESENT DAY: SUNNY ESCAPE

LOCATION: PALM JUMEIRAH

PRICE:  £1.3 MILLION 

The Beckhams made another big purchase in 2002, getting their hands on a villa in Palm Jumeirah.

While they got the villa for £1.3 million, the value is believed to have soared to £8million by 2008.

The property is still on their radar and they have access to it even though it was reported that the generous husband and wife gave it to Victoria’s parents Tony and Jackie.

This was revealed in 2020, when Victoria shared a happy sun-soaked family snap by the pool.

2003-2016: THE FRENCH FOLLY 

LOCATION: ST TROPEZ

PRICE: £1.5MILLION 

SALE PROFIT: £500,000 

In 2003, when David left Manchester United, he and Victoria spent £1.5 million on a holiday home near St Tropez. 

The property had 34 rooms, a heated pool and its own vineyard along with a private chapel.

Again, they put in a large amount of money for renovations, adding a black marble kitchen, Moroccan-style pool house and chintzy living room.  

In the early years, before David went to play for LA Galaxy, the family used to spend their holidays there.

It was put up for sale in 2015 for £2.5 million and was re-listed for £2.4 million in 2016, after the couple realised that they never used the house yet were still paying for its staff and upkeep.

2005-2015:  CASA DEL CALAMITY 

LOCATION: MADRID 

PRICE: £3.6 MILLION

SALE PROFIT: £600,000 

Amid the Rebecca Loos scandal in 2004 and as a part of a tricky process of settling in, the Beckhams bought a home in Madrid in 2005.

Their purchase allowed their children to visit their father as Victoria never moved to Spain with the children.   

The couple bought the five-bedroom property in La Moraleja for £3.6 million.

Their property, which was just outside Madrid, lay empty until 2015 when it was sold for £4.2 million after David moved to America.

2007 – 2018: MEDITTERANEAN LIFE

LOCATION: LOS ANGELES 

PRICE: £11 MILLION 

SALE PROFIT: £22.1 MILLION 

Their home in Los Angeles was chosen by Victoria on her own. The palatial mansion had all the family moved in before David started with LA Galaxy.

The swanky home had six bedrooms and nine bathrooms and they splashed out £11 million on it in 2007.

David and Victoria spent a huge amount of money on refurbishment, with their

They then spent lavishly on refurbishment, with interior designer and friend Kelly Hoppen in charge.

When David returned to London in 2012, they were advised the house was worth only £7 million. However, it seems to have soared in value since.

Local property expert Jan Knapik of The Source Realty Group said: ‘The market has come back. I would say it is worth up to £24 million.’

They proved the price had soared, selling the home in 2018 for $33.1m.

2009-PRESENT DAY: DUBAI CHIC 

LOCATION: DOWNTOWN DUBAI

PRICE: $5 MILLION (£4 MILLION) 

Another purchase on the Beckham property ladder is a home inside the Burj Khalifa.

It is understood that David snapped up the swanky property in 2009 for $5million (£4 million) and own it now.

Although the Beckhams often share images inside their other abodes, there are few from inside the Dubai property.

2013 – PRESENT DAY: FAMILY HOME

LOCATION: HOLLAND PARK

PRICE: £21.4 MILLION 

PROFIT: £3,852,000 

The couple bought their swanky mansion in 2013 for £21.4 million at the height of the London market, nestled in posh Holland Park. 

They had spent months looking for an ideal family home after David retired from football and the Beckhams were looking to make the UK their base again.

David and Victoria spent around £8 million renovating the property but despite this, it was revealed last year that the home needed urgent structural repairs to stop the raised roof terrace from collapsing. 

The 9,000 sq ft house has eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms and features a playroom, gym and spa.

2016 – 2023 : COUNTRY RETREAT

LOCATION THE COTSWOLDS 

PRICE: £6.15 MILLION 

SALE PROFIT: NOT YET CONFIRMED

David and Victoria snapped up their country retreat in the Cotswolds for a reported £6.15 million in December 2016.

The farmhouse was their weekend getaway and was converted into a huge family home after extensive renovations.

They even had the help of Marcus Barnett, a three-time Chelsea Flower Show winner, who transformed their garden into a beautiful fairytale oasis.

The outdoor space had an pergola and an orchard and their luxurious home was also complete with a fireplace, plunge pool, tennis court, swimming pool and football pitch.

And if the family wanted to unwind even further, there is an Estonian sauna and hot tub for them to enjoy too.

It is not yet known if they will sell the property or rent it out after they find another countryside bolt hole.

2020 – PRESENT DAY: HIGH-RISE LIFE 

LOCATION: MIAMI

PRICE: £20 MILLION 

Yet another swish property was added to the Beckham list in 2020.

The breathtaking apartment in Miami was purchased for $24million (£20m) in the One Thousand Museum building.

Late British-Iraqi Zaha Hadid designed the extravagant high-rise, which is 700ft tall.

Their five-bedroom property has free-standing baths, a huge kitchen, a pool and gym, spa and helipad.

2021 – PRESENT DAY: HEIGHT OF LUXURY

LOCATION: MIAMI 

PRICE: £5 MILLION 

Goldenballs took a leap and branched out into the world of luxury yachts recently.

After a lavish holiday with Elton John and David Furnish on theirs, he decided to get one of his own.

He splashed out £5 million on the large vessel, which he named Seven.

The name refers to the number he wore on his shirts when he played for Manchester United and England during his footballer career.

‘Seven’ played host to the family when they celebrated son Brooklyn’s nuptials to Nicola Peltz in April last year.

They will be able to use the boat as a base for sailing around Miami and the Florida Keys.

One of the mourners who waited more than 12 hours in line to pay his respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II in London last month was David Beckham, whose wife said Thursday that the experience “meant so much” to the retired soccer legend.

Fashion mogul Victoria Beckham told Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on TODAY about her husband joining the massive crowds waiting to see the queen on Sept. 16 when she was lying in state at London’s Westminster Hall.

“David felt very humbled by the experience,” she said. “It was something that he really wanted to do. And he is so happy that he did it. He said the experience was something that he struggles to even express. It meant so much to him.”

David Beckham, 47, queued up for 14 hours to see the queen, according to his wife.

“He said he met some really amazing people,” she said. “He was buying them all doughnuts. He said, ‘I met some great, great people,’ and he’s just so happy he did it.”

David Beckham also spoke to Reuters on Sept. 16 while he was waiting in a line that stretched for more than 5 miles.

“I think it’s what I always wanted to do, in all honesty,” he said. “I think we’re all here to celebrate Her Majesty, our queen, so I think it’s special to experience something like this together. It’s what I think she would have wanted.”

The former Spice Girl also had a public moment of her own earlier this month when she broke down in tears while walking the runway during Paris Fashion Week to unveil the 2023 spring/summer collection of her eponymous fashion line.

Her husband and their four children — Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 20, Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11 — were in attendance.

“I was so emotional because it’s such a big deal for me to have a show in Paris,” she said. “It was a real highlight of my career. I had my family there, I had my friends there, and I felt so proud of my team, I really did.

“I was planning on coming out and having a very cool picture taken, and I just broke down when I saw my husband and my children, who are so supportive of what I do.”

It’s been a big year for their family, as Brooklyn Beckham tied the knot in April with his wife, actor Nicola Peltz, 27, at a ceremony at her family home in Palm Beach, Florida.

“It was a beautiful wedding,” Victoria Beckham said. “As a mother, to see my son so happy means so much. What more can you ask for?”

She also shared what has worked for her and her husband while raising four children despite being two of Britain’s biggest celebrities during their 23-year marriage.

“I think it’s just being close and having good family around us, my parents and David’s parents, and just talking to them about everything,” she said. “We’re very, very present. The kids are happy, hardworking, respectful kids, and that’s what you want.”

The punch stats for Tyson Fury’s controversial win over Francis Ngannou have been released – and they are slightly embarrassing for the WBC heavyweight champion.

Fury, 35, was awarded a contentious split-decision victory over Ngannou after their 10-round heavyweight fight in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

The ‘Gypsy King’ looked out of sorts throughout his fight against the former UFC heavyweight champion, who was making his professional boxing debut.

Despite being knocked down in the third round, Fury was given the win 96-93 and 95-94 on two of the judges’ cards, with the other judge scoring it 95-94 for Ngannou. Check out the knockdown below.

The final scores have proved to be controversial, with an illegal elbow by Fury in the sixth round not spotted by the referee.

Ngannou caused major problems for Fury throughout the bout and took to social media afterwards to express his frustration.

“Tyson should say thank you to those 2 judges because I didn’t win this fight,” he posted on X.

He then shared a post from Mike Tyson, which read: “The true champ of the evening @francis_ngannou. So proud how you performed.”

According to Compubox, Fury landed 71 of his 223 total punches, while Ngannou managed to score with 59 from 231.

Fury landed more punches than his opponent in six of the 10 rounds.

Ngannou lost the decision, but won the night, outlanding Fury 37-32 in power shots and dropping Fury in round 3. Fury had a 71-59 edge in landed punches. Ngannou might want back the last 2 rounds, when he landed just 6 of 38 punches to 13 of 37 for Fury.

While Fury did edge total punches landed, Ngannou landed more power punches than the lineal heavyweight champion, with 37 to Fury’s 32.

With the stats so close, Ngannou can count himself unlucky to have lost out on the judges’ scorecards, especially when considering the knockdown and the illegal elbow which wasn’t spotted by the referee.

Fury is now set to face unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title, with the fight expected to take place early next year.

Formula One expert Ralf Schumacher believes that Christian Horner‘s refusal to leave Red Bull Racing will result in star man Max Verstappen quitting the team.

Horner was cleared of ‘coercive behaviour’ towards a female employee, though screenshots of a text conversation allegedly between the pair were leaked a day after via an anonymous email.

The husband of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, faced fresh turmoil after allegations were published in a bombshell 19-page investigation that named his accuser, while footage has emerged of the beleaguered F1 boss having a row with Jos Verstappen – father of his star driver Max.

Verstappen Snr exclusively told Mail Sport that the team would ‘explode’ if Horner remained at the head of the team. ‘He is playing the victim, when he is the one causing the problems.’ He added.

Schumacher, a former Formula One driver and brother of sporting legend Michael, shares a similar philosophy and is convinced Horner will drive away the three-time world champion.

Geri Halliwell and Horner made a very public show of unity at the Bahrain GP last weekend

‘If Christian Horner holds on to his seat with all his might,’ he told Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung. ‘He will not only damage Red Bull, he will also ensure that Max Verstappen leaves the team.’

The tensions within the team highlighted by Jos Verstappen raised speculation that Max could not only be on his way out of Red Bull but may even opt for a switch to bitter rivals Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton vacating his seat in 2025.

Jos dined with the Mercedes team principal last week in Bahrain ahead of the opening race and was then seen in dialogue with the German during the weekend event.

Ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this weekend Max made a passionate defence of his father, who he said is ‘not a liar’.

Schumacher reckons Wolff is the big winner of the Red Bull infighting and predicted the 52-year-old would be delighted at what is unfolding at the Milton Keynes-based outfit.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff dined with Verstappen Snr ahead of the Bahrain GP and was then seen talking with the Dutchman during the race weekend

‘I see it very critically,’ he added. ‘What has been achieved at the moment is that the best team that has existed in the last decade – with Mercedes – is currently destroying itself from the inside.

‘I think Toto Wolff is there as an onlooker with relatively great joy. He can come out of this as a big winner.’

Brooklyn and Cruz Beckham enjoyed some brotherly bonding time in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Brooklyn, 24, was snapped playfully patting his younger brother Cruz, 18, on the back as the pair stepped out for a Melrose Avenue shopping spree.

Cruz donned a Beatles T-shirt and red shorts for the outing, that he teamed with a pair of decorated brown slip-on shoes and white socks.

The teenager carried a Spider-Man bag as he shared jokes with his older brother.

Brooklyn, on the other hand, donned a pair of long grey shorts and a long-sleeved black top, finishing off the casual look with a black baseball cap, white trainers and white socks.

Cruz has seemingly followed in Brooklyn’s footsteps and now lives in Los Angeles.

Brooklyn lives in the City of Angels with his wife Nicola Peltz, who he married in Florida on April 9, 2022.

The aspiring chef’s outing with his sibling comes after he hit back at an internet troll who accused him of changing his career again to a personal trainer after he shared a workout video on Instagram.

Brooklyn poked fun at his father David as he hit the gym with Cruz last week.

The photography lover shared a video of him and Cruz doing dumbbell push-ups with the caption: ‘1001, 1002, 1003’, tagging their famous dad, 48.

The video was in response to a clip David had shared hours before of himself doing push-ups with the caption: ‘998, 999, 1000’.

David appreciated the joke as he commented: ‘Looking good boys @brooklynpeltzbeckham @cruzbeckham,’ alongside some laughing and heart emojis.

Brooklyn noticed an Instagram user commenting on him having another career change and decided to have a little fun with the trolling.

David appreciated the joke as he commented: ‘Looking good boys @brooklynpeltzbeckham @cruzbeckham’ with some laughing and heart emojis

He wrote: ‘Yes mate @yzy.yyz im now a personal trainer :)’.

It was also revealed last week that Brooklyn is set to launch a pop-up restaurant specialising in his Nanny Peggy’s English breakfast sandwiches, among other dishes inspired by his ‘global upbringing’.

Speaking of his new venture, he told the Mail: ‘I’ve been lucky enough to live in some pretty cool places.

‘I got my wife on Indian and Chinese takeaway. She’s obsessed with it now.

‘My Nanny Peggy taught me how to make her English Breakfast sandwich when I was five, and it’s been my favourite ever since.

‘I’ve always been into trying different foods, cuisines, and cultures, but that was one of my earliest memories of loving cooking.

‘Spending time in the kitchen is definitely something me and my dad bond over… even though I think I make my English Breakfast sandwich better, he does make a pretty good one!’

The restaurant will be based in East London and the menu – available between January 25 and 26 – will also include a Chicken Tikka Masala, 12-hour slow cooked Wagyu Bolognese, Pork and Prawn Dumplings and Buffalo Cauliflower with Brooklyn’s ‘secret’ hot sauce.

She created one of the most memorable moments of her husband’s documentary when she claimed to have had a ‘working class’ upbringing, despite her dad owning a Rolls Royce.

And it seems Victoria Beckham has inherited her father’s love of luxury cars as she was seen arriving for work on Tuesday in a Ferrari Roma Blu Pozzi, which retail for £227,000.

The designer, 49, was seen cruising through the streets of London in the Ferrari, which goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 199 miles per hour.

She looked stylish as she stepped out of the vehicle to show off a grey herringbone trouser suit teamed with a maroon jumper and oversized sunglasses.

Victoria’s pricey purchase comes as it was revealed one very valued person on her husband David’s books were paid a £10million salary.

The designer, 49, was seen cruising through the streets of London in the Ferrari, which goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 199 miles per hour

She created one of the most memorable moments of her husband’s documentary when she claimed to have had a ‘working class’ upbringing despite her dad owning a Rolls Royce

One of his many successful enterprises, DB Venture, allegedly paid one person this eye-watering sum in 2022, according to The Mirror.

But the company have reportedly refused to say if the big bucks went to the Man United legend or someone else.

This left the possible rich man to be a choice between David, Jamie Salter and Nick Woodhouse.

A spokesman for David, 48, told the publication: ‘I’m afraid we won’t be disclosing who the highest-paid director is.’

The payout, which is up 384 per cent on the previous year and was a gob-smacking five times more than the combined salaries of the other 23 employees of DB Ventures.

Meanwhile, Victoria was no doubt keen to treat herself after her fashion and beauty brand finally showed a profit.

Her eponymous brand has racked up losses of over £66 million since it launched in 2008 and now the former Spice Girl is said to be ‘thrilled’ at the turnaround after her latest financial accounts showed it was £200,000 in the black in 2022.

Her husband David no doubt had something to say about the luxury sports car after their row about cars went viral last year.

The famous Beckham documentary clip saw Victoria claiming her family were ‘very working, working class’.

David interrupted, incredulous, and asked Victoria to be honest to which she replied: ‘I am!’ He then repeatedly asked Victoria to reveal what car her dad used to drive her to school in.

The singer eventually gave in and said: ‘OK. In the Eighties, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.’

‘Thank you,’ David replied, and immediately left and closed the door behind him, his job done.

Last year, Victoria poked fun at herself as she dug out a throwback snap posing with the luxury motor in childhood.

The Spice Girl looked adorable in the throwback snap as she posed alongside her sister Louise, 40, while clad in matching pink dresses.

They flashed cheeky grins for the camera while sitting on top of the Rolls Royce, which was one of the most expensive makes of the Eighties.

She captioned the post ‘kisses’, while tagging her sister and mother Jackie.

Victoria has also captalised on the moment with a £110 ‘My Dad Had A Rolls Royce’ T-shirt as part of her self-titled clothing range.

Beckham, which is four episodes, each lasting more than an hour, features never-before-seen footage of David and his family.

Released on October 4, the doc follows the Man United star’s meteoric rise from humble working-class beginnings to global football stardom.

According to Netflix’s own data, Beckham was the most-watched show for two weeks, with 11,600,000 fans watching globally.

Victoria was born in Harlow, before moving to Goffs Oak in Hertfordshire with her parents Jackie and Tony Adams and then coming back to Essex.

She previously gave fans a tour of her childhood bedroom, which was full of old toys, with a teddy on the drawers, a rocking horse by the wall and a basket of dolls under the stairs.

Panning around the room, Victoria said: ‘So today me, David and the kids came to visit my mum and dad and this is my old bedroom – it brings back so many memories.

‘My mum has redecorated, this was not my doll, but yeah this is where I grew up.’

Mercedes driver Doriane Pin delivered an outstanding performance at the F1 Academy season opener in Bahrain on Thursday as she recorded a double pole position. With two stunning laps, she got the better of Abbi Pulling and PREMA Racing teammate Maya Weug. After Pin’s fantastic display, a fan has dug into how she studied Lewis Hamilton’s pole position lap at the 2021 Saudi Arabian GP to deliver such a performance.

Hamilton himself has been a great role model for all the young women aspiring to make it big in motorsport. Despite witnessing a lack of diversity in most of the teams he has competed for over the years, the Briton has made it his mission to promote more inclusivity via his different initiatives.

As a result, he is also one of the first drivers to congratulate others when they put in the effort to promote more diversity and inclusivity. Hamilton once expressed pride for the efforts F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff has been putting in to promote more female racers.

Speaking of the same, Hamilton said, “I just spent some time with her in the garage. It is really impressive to see the growth within that organization and then to see the other teams in the sport actually really embracing it”.

After lauding Wolff, Hamilton then also praised Doriane Pin. He explained how impressed he was to see a young driver like her perform and revealed some of the suggestions he gave to her.

Hamilton had advised Pin to carry out notetaking, something which she presumably did to grab the double pole for the race in Jeddah. Even expert Ted Kravitz has appreciated Hamilton for being one of the only F1 drivers who has genuinely wanted to encourage more young female racers to take up motorsports.

Ted Kravitz once praised Lewis Hamilton for his efforts to promote female racers

While speaking on one of the episodes of Sky F1’s podcast last year, Ted Kravitz revealed how Lewis Hamilton was the only driver who ever visited the W Series (now F1 Academy) paddock. Since W Series were facing financial difficulties to carry on, Hamilton contacted several companies to reach out for funds to support the initiative.

Speaking of the efforts Hamilton put in, Kravitz added, “There wasn’t too much money that was still needed. Lewis was talking about that – there just needs to be this commitment, ‘put your money where your mouth is’, all these people who want to carry on the cause of female drivers in F1. Maybe it’ll take five years, maybe it’ll take 10, but we will get a female Formula 1 driver”.

Hamilton’s efforts do indeed seem to have paid off as F1 have taken the female racing series under their own wing, with the launch of the F1 Academy. Moreover, with all 10 F1 teams having signed a female driver for the F1 Academy, there is a clear sign that more efforts have been put in recently to promote women racers.

UFC star Sean Strickland was seen using a sick homophobic slur during yet another foul-mouthed rant on social media.

The American MMA fighter has become synonymous with controversy after his volatile diatribes both online and in his post-fight press conferences.

On this occasion, Strickland has caused offence with a post onto his account on X, formerly known as Twitter, as he produced a bizarre rant on Tuesday.

The former UFC champion wrote: ‘I just look at gays like a form of r*****ation.. but I fully accept them

‘Could you imagine if we seen any species on this planet wake up one day and all chose to be gay

Strickland claimed that being gay is ‘like a form of r*****ation’ in a post on social media

‘We would all think “wow there is clearly something wrong with that species. Why are humans exempt? Come on’.

As many fans questioned the post by Strickland, it didn’t take long for the UFC star to return to the platform and suggest that users online ‘can’t take a joke’.

He continued: ‘All can’t take a joke. ARE YOU ALL F***ING HIGH OR JUST WOKE STUPID?!

‘Why is it so difficult to admit that being gay is an abnormality. Be gay, be happy, we accept you

‘BUT You’re a mammal that is human and you fail to do the one thing all mammals want to do. Lmao!! Come on!!’

Back in January, Strickland unleashed a sexist, homophobic and anti-transgender tirade at the pre-UFC 297 media day, rounding on the journalist who asked about him a tweet he wrote in 2021.

The post said: ‘If I had a gay son I would think I failed as a man to create such weakness….. If I had a w**** for a daughter I’d think she just wanted to be like her dad lol!!’

Strickland was being asked about his tweet when he interrupted, asking: ‘Let me ask you, are you a gay man?

The reporter Alex Lee, replied: ‘I am an ally of the community.’

Strickland said: ‘If you had a son and he was gay you wouldn’t want a grandkid?’

Lee said: ‘It wouldn’t be a problem.’

Strickland went on a wild and offensive rant at a journalist in Toronto ahead of UFC 297

The UFC champion then ranted: ‘Then you’re a weak f*****g man, dude. You’re probably the f*****g problem, you elected Justin Trudeau. He seized the bank accounts, you’re just f*****g pathetic.

‘You have no backbone while he shuts down your country and shuts bank accounts you ask me stupid s**t like that, go f**k yourself, move the f**k on, coward.’

Shortly after that passionate rant, Strickland was dethroned as the UFC middleweight champion after defeat in his fight with Dricus Du Plessis.

The American was beaten via split decision after their five-round bout and is yet to step foot in the octagon since then.

I was at that fight. It was unplanned. We happened to be partying that weekend in AC and found out about the fight. We paid $500 for crappy balcony seats the day of the fight. The sound of that knockout was clear and loud from where I was sitting. I was in shock that you could hear that from so far away. Mike was definitely one of the greatest punchers of all time. I also remember a guy that had paid $1K for front row. He went to buy a hotdog and missed the whole fight. LoL

 

I love how aggressive Tyson was. He wasn’t just throwing wild punches around. He put all of his body and mind into each and every punch, and he could deliver them SO FAST. He knocked Frazier out cold with one blow and had already punched him in the face 3 more times by the time Frazier actually hit the ground.

“Standing in the shadow of Joe Frazier, to me it was like standing in the light.”
That is genuinely the most beautiful sentiment I have ever heard a son say about his father. Maybe instead of a boxer, he should have been a poet.
