Cruz Beckham has copied his footballer father once again by trying on the famous purple suit for an Instagram snap.

Victoria and David Beckham celebrated their 25th anniversary in style as they donned their iconic purple wedding outfits.

And their youngest son seized the opportunity to follow in dad’s footsteps once more, by wearing the garment as he wished his parents a Happy Anniversary.

‘The suit fits me [winking emoji]’, Cruz wrote, as he shared a picture of himself wearing it on Thursday, with dad David smiling in the background.

Victoria, 50, took to Instagram shortly after to share a snap of David in the suit, as she quipped back to her son: ‘Still fits him too [laughing emoji].’

It is the second time this year Cruz has copied his dad, after getting a new tattoo for his 19th birthday in January – which matched one of David’s waist inkings.

The former England footballer’s youngest son’s latest body art, which is on the left side of his waist, is a portrait of Jesus sitting down and David, 49, has exactly the same tattoo on his right side.

Cruz also was the spitting image of his dad in his younger years, especially when he debuted a new hairstyle in 2009 in Los Angeles.

The then-four-year-old was styling out a primped and preened Mohawk in a look reminiscent of the cut David famously wore back in 2002.

Cruz debuted his freshly trimmed mane at his father’s now notorious return match for LA Galaxy.

The cheeky snap from Cruz came as David suffered a wardrobe malfunction relating to the purple suit.

The designer, 50, and former footballer married at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in 1999 in lavish ceremony which cost almost £1M and to mark their 25th wedding anniversary they slipped back into their matching looks.

‘Yep, still got it!’ the couple declared as they posted new photos of themselves strolling through their country house grounds and posing on their wedding thrones on Thursday.

Video shared on Victoria’s Instagram Stories though sees David struggling to fit into his purple suit and gasping as his waistcoat appears to rip.

The Spice Girl has no such problems, filming as she poses in the mirror in her Antonio Berardi wedding dress, which fits like a glove.

The video shows David trying on the suit at the family’s London home as he happily exclaims: ‘I’m in, I’m in!’

Their children are heard asking why Victoria has taken her dress off as one quips ‘because you can’t fit in it, the zip’s broken.’

The couple, who share sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, and daughter Harper, 12, shared a joint post on Wednesday night in the looks, quipping: ‘Look what we found’.

Posh and Becks previously laughed at their choice to go purple in last year’s Netflix documentary Beckham.

David shared clips from his big day in the docu-series, laughing at his decision to make their guests wear black and white while he and Victoria donned the  garish purple ensembles.

As his former teammate Gary Neville described the wedding as ‘a spectacle’, David mused: ‘I try to think back to when I decided to wear a purple suit and I don’t know when that happened…

‘I think I just took Victoria’s lead on it but what were we thinking?!’

Having no regrets on her end, Victoria quipped: ‘It was fun!

Victoria Beckham and her husband David Beckham have been indulging in some well-deserved family time aboard their luxurious yacht in France,

and their daughter Harper is proving she’s every bit her mother’s mini-me.

The family shared a series of Instagram snapshots, offering fans a glimpse into their sun-soaked holiday with sons Romeo,

21, and Cruz, 19, alongside the birthday girl, Harper, who just turned 13.

In one stunning snap, Victoria, 50, posed fresh-faced on the boat’s deck, with the jaw-dropping sunset providing a picturesque backdrop.

Harper, looking strikingly similar to her famous mum, joined her parents in several heartwarming photos.

David, 49, was captured in an adorable moment cuddling his daughter, while another selfie showcased the proud parents together with their mini Victoria.

The romantic ambiance of France seemed to cast its spell on David and Victoria, as they enjoyed a cosy meal at a breathtaking vineyard.

Victoria looked incredible in a classic little black dress, accessorised with a silver bracelet and her dazzling wedding ring. David, ever the style icon, wore a simple white T-shirt as he sat at a long table, savouring a glass of red wine with his wife against the picturesque backdrop.

Sharing this intimate moment on Instagram, David wrote, “We have eaten in many beautiful places but WOW Domaine De Peretti Della Rocca.”

Their children also joined in the fun, as Victoria posted sweet images of Romeo, Cruz, and Harper posing on a mega yacht in Sardinia.

This family getaway comes on the heels of exciting news for the Beckhams, who recently reacted to their multiple Emmy nominations.

The couple’s 2023 Netflix documentary, BECKHAM, has been nominated in five categories for the 2024 Emmy Awards.

The series offers an unprecedented look at David’s illustrious career and a glimpse into the early days of their romance and marriage. The four-part series is up for Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series, among other prestigious categories.

Reacting to the nominations, David told HELLO!: “It’s a real honour for me and the whole creative team for BECKHAM to be recognized by the TV Academy. Making this series was such a personal journey, a love letter to football and my family. It has been overwhelming for me and Victoria that we have had such a warm and positive response to the series. I’m so grateful to the incredible team led by Fisher Stevens and also to all those people from my life and career who took part and who have played such an important role in my story.”

The Beckham family seemed in high spirits as they enjoyed their day at sea during their Sardinian holiday, celebrating Harper’s 13th birthday.

The family made the most of the warm weather, engaging in various water sports. David showcased his fit physique, going shirtless in a pair of lemon yellow swimming trunks before donning a life jacket to ride a jet ski.

Victoria joined him, holding on tightly as they rode the waves together. She sported a chic black swim skirt and a baseball cap, perfectly balancing style and safety.

Despite the fun, Victoria remained dedicated to her fitness regime, pictured lifting weights on the yacht’s sundeck. Dressed casually in a plain black T-shirt and denim shorts, she demonstrated her commitment to staying in shape.

The day was all about Harper, who officially became a teenager. The family celebrated with pink and silver balloons, and Harper enjoyed a special breakfast with her brothers, Romeo and Cruz. Harper even had a go at jet skiing, riding with Cruz.

While their eldest brother Brooklyn, 25, couldn’t join them, staying in Los Angeles with his wife Nicola Peltz, he made sure to celebrate Harper’s milestone with a sweet Instagram post. Sharing a gallery of snaps, he captioned it: “Happy 13th birthday to the best little sister in the whole wide world xx we love you so much xxxxxxxxxxxxx.”

Victoria and David also marked the occasion with heartfelt social media posts. Victoria, calling Harper her “best friend,” praised her daughter as a “beautiful, talented young lady.” She shared a collection of nostalgic photos, from Harper’s baby days to recent mother-daughter moments. David, equally sentimental, described Harper as his “world” and expressed his pride in her growth and kind-hearted nature.

“Happy 13th Birthday to my beautiful little girl. Daddy is so proud of you. You have grown up to be a kind, generous & a beautiful young lady with the most amazing heart & the most amazing smile that we all love so so much,” he wrote.

A beach-side kiss from a model in a bikini, a shooting security scare and a formative teenage trip to the Outback are just some of the King’s experiences in Australia over the years.

Charles is embarking on his 16th official visit and 17th overall to Australia – and his first as the country’s monarch and for Queen Camilla in her role as consort.

The pair last travelled around the globe to the Commonwealth realm in 2018.

The prince was pictured in a feather headdress known as a mulka string and was given a spiritual blessing by the world didgeridoo master in the small Aboriginal community of Yirrkala in Northeast Arnhem Land.

Camilla paddled barefoot on Broadbeach on the Gold Coast – but Charles kept his brogues on – and the couple attended the Commonwealth Games.

In 2015, Charles and Camilla were given their own elaborate boomerangs by a local artist during a visit to Kings Park in Perth, Western Australia.

A Diamond Jubilee tour in 2012 saw Charles and Camilla cuddle koalas at Government House in Adelaide, with Charles quipping “something ominous will run down” about the animals’ reputation for having weak bladders.

As a 17-year-old prince, Charles spent two terms at Timbertop, a remote outpost of the Geelong Church of England Grammar School in Melbourne in 1966 as an exchange student.

Afterwards, he described it as a “most wonderful experience”.

He swam on the Barrier Reef, ran cattle in Queensland and attended a feast in New Guinea.

But he admitted that on occasions he was referred to by the traditional Australian epithet “pommy bastard”.

His first official visit to Australia came in 1970 when he and sister Princess Anne joined Queen Elizabeth II’s tour.

In 1979, the eligible bachelor prince returned to represent his mother for the 150th anniversary of the state of Western Australia.

But the visit is famous for an encounter he had with a bikini-clad woman on a beach.

Charles was pounced on by model Jane Priest while taking an early morning dip, and images of the wave-side kiss were printed around the world.

Ms Priest later divulged the incident on Cottesloe Beach in Perth was a publicity stunt to try to make Charles appear more accessible.

She also recalled how the “adorable” prince told her when she put her hands on his chest: “I can’t touch you.”

Within four years, Charles had married Lady Diana Spencer and they had welcomed his first child, Prince William.

The Prince and Princess of Wales undertook a six-week tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1983.

But in a modern move, going against royal convention, they took their baby son with them on the long-haul journey, rather than leaving him behind in the UK with nannies.

Ten-month-old William attended a photocall and crawled across a rug on the lawns of Government House in Auckland, New Zealand, watched by his parents.

Charles and Diana’s tours to Australia were, however, subject to tension.

Diana told her biographer Andrew Morton that she was thrown into the deep end and overwhelmed by the adulation she faced from the crowds in 1983 during her first major overseas trip, while Charles became jealous at the attention she received.

In 1988, the pair were pictured standing side by side in the sunshine in Wollongong, south of Sydney – but by then their relationship was in tatters.

Charles had already turned to his now-wife Camilla Parker Bowles and Diana was having an affair with cavalry officer James Hewitt.

More than 30 years after the Waleses took William to Australia, he returned with his own son Prince George and wife the then-Duchess of Cambridge.

They embarked on a royal tour to Australia and New Zealand in 2014.

Nine-month-old George was dubbed the “republican slayer” for boosting the monarchy’s appeal on his first official overseas tour.

He met a bilby named after him, stole another baby’s toy on a play date and, according to his mother Kate, gained an extra fat roll while he was away.

Royal baby news coincided with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 2018 tour, with Harry and Meghan announcing she was pregnant on the eve of a high-profile 16-day trip to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

He was besieged by photographers, sparking fears he might have to abandon the trip.

Sydney meanwhile was the scene of a major royal security scare for Harry’s father.

In 1994, there were dramatic scenes when student David Kang was wrestled to the ground after firing a starting pistol as Charles stood to make a speech.

The late Queen was the first reigning monarch to set foot in Australia, and made 16 trips in total – the first in 1954 and her last in 2011.

There was controversy during the Queen and Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh’s Golden Jubilee tour of 2002 when Philip asked an Aboriginal businessman: “Do you still throw spears at each other?”

Aboriginal cultural park owner William Brim replied: “No, we don’t do that any more.”

Mr Brim, who met the duke during a royal visit to the Tjapukai Aboriginal Park in northern Cairns, branded Philip a “larrikin” (joker) and said he was not offended but described the question as “naive”.

On a tour by the Queen in 1992, the country’s then premier Paul Keating was dubbed the “Lizard of Oz” after cameras caught him giving the monarch a helping hand at Canberra’s Parliament House by touching her back.

Charles III is now King of Australia, but his mother once thought about giving him a different job while he was waiting to accede to the throne.

She considered him as a future governor-general of Australia – the Queen’s representative in the realm – but only once he was married, archive documents from the 1970s suggested.

Speculation in the press had reached the prince, then a Royal Navy officer, who said in a interview if there was interest in him taking up the role he would be “delighted to consider it”.

After a weekend attending the Eras tour, Prince William has cemented his status as a committed Swiftie.

And it seems the heir to the throne’s dreams have come true – as nine months ago he told Ronnie Wood that he’d only see The Rolling Stones if they brought out Taylor Swift.

On Friday night Prince William took his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte to see the Blank Space singer perform at Wembley Stadium.

The royals broke the internet by taking a selfie with Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelce and went viral again after he was spotted ‘dad dancing’ in the audience to Shake It Off.

But it’s perhaps written in the stars, as in November last year William, 42, and Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood, 77, met in London at the Tusk Conservation Awards which recognises leading wildlife pioneers.

Nine months after William’s comments, he has attended the Eras Tour and broken the internet with a selfie with Taylor Swift, her boyfriend Travis Kelce, Prince George and Princess Charlotte

Both men are long-term supporters of the event’s organisers, Africa-based charity Tusk Trust.

After chatting with the future king, Wood said: ‘We were talking about the tour and I said “come on, you’ve got to come out on tour” and we were talking about the new album and everything. William said [he would] if we could get Taylor Swift there.’

Guitarist Wood told William that Swift had sung with Stones’ frontman Sir Mick Jagger and said the prince replied, ‘I’m there then.’

Just nine months later, and William sent royal fans wild as he was spotted attending the star’s tour in London.

Royal experts have claimed that William is trying to position himself as ‘the people’s Prince’ by making sure he’s seen at the Eras tour, and wants to be seen as a ‘relatable royal’ like his mother Princess Diana.

William and Taylor go back many years, and the Prince of Wales has long made it known he is a fan of her music.

In November 2013, William joined the US popstar on stage at a fundraising gala for an impromptu performance with Jon Bon Jovi.

In 2021, William admitted that he obeyed ‘like a puppy’ when glamorous pop star Swift ordered him on stage for an impromptu performance with Jon Bon Jovi.

Recalling a fundraising gala in November 2013 for the homeless charity Centrepoint, a cause first championed by his late mother Princess Diana, the prince said: ‘I can’t believe I’m actually telling you this story… I turn up and Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet.

‘And then, I went inside, met everybody, a lot of handshaking to do those nights, a lot of chatting. I try and be charming and interactive. Occasionally, you’re not having a good day, and it’s a little harder to come by.

‘When I sat down to watch Jon Bon Jovi do his performance, I thought, “That’s it. My job is done. I’ll get a dinner in a minute, and I might be able to have a chat to some people, and, you know, I’m off-duty a little bit now.” ‘

But matters did not go according to that plan. ‘Little did I think what was going to happen next,’ he added. ‘I’m sat next to Taylor Swift. She’s on my left – and after Jon does his first song, there’s a pause and she turns to me.

‘She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye and says, “Come on, William. Let’s go and sing.” To this day, I still do not know what came over me. Honestly, even now I’m cringing at what happened next, and I don’t understand why I gave in.

‘But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm and says, “Come with me…” I got up like a puppy and went, “Yeah, OK, that seems like a great idea. I’ll follow you.”

‘I walked up on stage in a trance and then sort of halfway through Jon Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer song, I wake up. And I’m thinking to myself, “Am I standing on the stage singing Livin’ On A Prayer when I don’t even know the words?”

‘But the Centrepoint young guys and girls were there, all loving it and cheering away. So I thought, “Well, if they’re enjoying it, then the night is for them. So sod it. I can’t be the doofus who’s going to ruin it for everyone.”

‘And so I desperately try and remember some of the words and sing as hard as I can. Beneath my black tie, there was a lot of sweating going on.

‘I felt like a swan, where I was trying to keep myself composed on the outside, but inside, the little legs are paddling fast.

‘Now, a lot of people might think I’m comfortable on stage. When I do speeches and things like that, I’ve done so many now, they’re not a problem. But I’ve not done singing.’

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday shortly after the event, Swift said: ‘I could hear his voice and it’s pretty good. A nice tone. I’d definitely say he has got star quality and if he ever wants me to sing with him again, I’ll be there.’

The Prince of Wales was among the 90,000-strong crowd in London for the hottest ticket in town as Taylor kicked off the London leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour at Wembley on Friday – after he took along his children Prince George, 10, and nine-year-old Princess Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Prince Louis, six, stayed home with his mother Kate Middleton.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official X account posted the adorable photo with the caption: ‘Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!’

Soon after, the popstar posted a selfie with the royals and her boyfriend Kelce to say: ‘Happy birthday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start’ in a touching message to the heir for his 42nd birthday.

In the photo, Kelce was seen wearing his Team USA Olympics hat.

Comments posted on X, formerly Twitter, in response to footage of William dancing included: ‘This is my favourite thing ever!!! I never knew I needed to see Prince William dancing to Taylor Swift!’

Another poster wrote: ‘Prince William is a Swiftie. Immense dad dancing there.’

Taylor’s three shows over the weekend came after the military band at Buckingham Palace earlier in the day performed a rendition of Shake It Of to mark the Eras Tour arriving in the UK capital.

Taylor will return to Wembley Stadium in August to perform another five sold-out shows.

A collection of Prince Diana’s gowns and letters that she wrote before her death are to be sold at the largest auction of her belongings in 27 years. Julien’s Auctions, the same auctioneer that sold memorabilia from Hugh Hefner and Marilyn Monroe will sell Prince Diana’s collection of couture dresses, shoes, clutches, and hand-written letters at a live auction.

+11

The highly-anticipated event, titled ‘ Princess Diana ‘s Elegance & A Royal Collection,’ will be held on June 27. ‘Princess Diana’s sartorial choices transcended mere fashion statements ; they were deliberate expressions of her identity, each ensemble meticulously curated to evoke a response, to provoke thought…fully aware of the power her style wielded,’ the description of the auction from Julien’s website read.

+11

‘What she might not have foreseen, however, is the enduring legacy her dignified glamour would leave, resonating ever stronger across the decades since her untimely passing. From the enchanting wedding gown that stole the world’s heart in 1981, to the sharp, tailored suits that defined her later years, the Princess of Wales ‘s wardrobe chronicled her growth as a woman and a global icon.

+11

Among the most treasured of Diana’s timeless pieces for sale that is her midnight blue tulle gown by Murray Arbeid, adorned with twinkling diamanté stars. The gown is estimated to sell for between $200,000 and $400,000. She wore the piece three times between 1986 and 1987 and it served as a catalyst for the ‘Di-mania’ that swept the country.

+11

Dubbed the ‘People’s Princess,’ she wore her gowns on multiple occasions – a taboo in celebrity culture. The move was intended to compensate for the time spent making the dress and help the designer gain more press and clientele. Another one of her fairy tale ballgowns, a Victor Edelstein magenta silk and lace evening dress is also expected to sell for between $200,000 and $400,000.

+11

Diana first met Edelstein when she was pregnant with William, and the pair worked together closely as she was often present to help customize the designs to her taste. Edelstein went on to produce the Princess’s iconic ink-blue velvet gown with a mermaid tail skirt that she wore when she danced with John Travolta at The White House.

+11

One of the Princess’s favorite designers, Catherine Walker, created her yellow and navy two-piece skirt suit that she wore several times during a 1989 visit to Hong Kong for the opening of the Red Cross and in 1991 at Buckingham Palace for the Trooping the Color Celebrations. The set is estimated to sell at $10,000. The Princess made history when she was photographed wearing a 1988 Catherine Walker pink floral dress during Prince William’s school’s sports day.

+11

Against the crown’s wishes, Diana competed in the barefoot race with other mothers, ultimately coming in first place, on June 21 of that year. She was also photographed wearing the pink floral dress on August 22, 1991 while leaving St. Mary’s Hospital in London after sitting with AIDS patients, and in 1992 leaving Prince Harry’s school in Notting Hill. In addition to dresses and suits, the auction will also feature many of Diana’s beloved accessories like shoes, handbags, and hats.

+11

A few eye-catching pieces include a pair of emerald-green satin evening shoes by Kurt Geiger with jeweled vamps, which is estimated to sell between $2,000 and $4,000, and a yellow and black felted wool turban designed by the royal milliner Philip Somerville, which is projected to sell at $5,000. And the auction is not limited to Diana’s couture pieces; her hand- written letters are also being sold. All of her letters are addressed wither Mrs. Pendrey, a former housekeeper of the Spencer family exclusively or her and her husband.

+11

Whether the princess was checking in on the Pendreys, detailing her honeymoon with Prince Charles, or announcing the birth of Prince William, she made sure to keep in touch with those she held dear. The letters, depending on length, range in price from $1,000 to $3,000. Bidding opens at 10:00 am on the Julien’s Auctions website. A portion of the proceeds will benefit charities fighting muscular dystrophy in the United Kingdom.

Despite a ten-year age gap, Cruz Beckham showed that his romance with Brazilian singer Jackie Apostle is stronger than ever as they enjoyed an amorous shopping trip in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 19, leaned in for a kiss with the stunning star, 30, as they headed out for a spot of retail therapy in California.

Jackie, who bears a striking resemblance to Cruz’s famous mother, opted for a stylish black midi dress with a midi skirt and a chain belt.

Foregoing a pair of heels, she opted for a pair of simple ballet flats during the outing, where she indulged in a few treats from the iconic beauty shop Sephora.

Cruz cut a casual figure in a relaxed white graphic T-shirt, teamed with black cargo trousers and slip-on suede shoes.

In a video shared to her page, Bby Ivy claimed her ex-boyfriend had been ‘seeing another girl the whole time’, but did not name Cruz directly.

In another recent Tik Tok post shared on Thursday, Bby Ivy revealed she was in Paris for fashion week but felt ‘stressed’ and had cancelled all of the days events.

Bby went on to reveal she felt ‘overwhelmed’ and had been on the edge of tears all day at the thought of leaving her hotel room.

Before his relationship with Bby Ivy, Cruz was previously dating social media star Issey as well as actress and dancer Skye Ladell, 23.

Cruz’s run of glamorous dates comes after he split from Tana Holding, 19, in October 2023.

David Beckham has revealed that the perception his career off the field came second to his one on it ‘does hurt a little bit’.

Beckham is one of the greatest players England has ever produced, captaining the side, and came second in the Ballon d’Or vote in 1999, the year he won a treble with Manchester United.

The 49-year-old is regarded as one of the most accurate crossers of a ball and was renowned for his dead ball abilities – skills which saw him become the first Englishman to win titles in four different countries.

Beckham was appearing the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast when he was asked his former team-mate about the view that his football career comes secondary to his celebrity profile.

‘I can’t lie, it does hurt a little bit,’ Beckham admitted. ‘Because over the years, it’s probably been talked about more than often, about obviously that side of things for me.

‘But I suppose it was always going to be mentioned at some point because obviously, I had obviously the career that I had had, but then I had something outside of my football as well that wasn’t as important as the football, but now it’s what I do.

‘So I knew that at some point when I finished playing, I was going to move into the business side of things and the things that I did during my career would help that side of my business, and it has. So I’m very lucky, but obviously, I’d rather people turn around and say that he was a great player, or a great person, or won what I’d won.

‘But I think people are still starting to talk more like that. I think the documentary that I did recently reminded people maybe of the player that I was.’

Beckham was one of the first high-profile players to truly embrace the idea of modelling contracts, brand deals and sponsorships beyond football, partnering with Brylcreem in 1997 in a deal worth around £4million.

His marriage to Spice Girls singer Victoria further enhanced his celebrity status beyond his exploits on the pitch, and the two become one of the most famous couples in the country.

With his growing profile off the field, the demands from sponsors and brands also increased, which inevitably many would view as having an impact on his playing career.

However the former England skipper insists that none of his ventures outside of his playing career did affect his game.

‘I think that I always look for the future. Is this a good deal?… those are the things I look at. Is this brand good for me? Is it good for my business? And is it going to affect my football? And that’s the first question I’d ask. Is it going to affect my football?’ he added.

‘And none of them did. None of the deals that I did over my career, you know, affected me on the pitch. You know, people talked about it. did it affect me? No.’

Since hanging up his boots, Beckham has remained involved in football, forming his own Major League Soccer franchise, Inter Miami.

The Florida-based side have signed some of the European game’s all-time greats in the last 18 months, including Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Manchester United icon David Beckham has named his ultimate 5-a-side team of stars he played with during his glittering career.

The former England captain represented some of the biggest clubs in world football including Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and PSG.

Beckham was appearing on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, and was asked to put together his dream team by his old team-mate.

Starting with the defence, Beckham opted for a back two of Roberto Carlos and Paolo Maldini before picking Zinedine Zidane in midfield as he waxed lyrical about the Frenchman after playing alongside him at Madrid.

‘He’s not just one of the greatest players that I’ve ever played with, one of the hardest trainers, and also just cool,’ Beckham said of Zidane.

‘He’s just cool, you know, without trying. You play him a ball anywhere on the pitch, any height, any level, any speed, he’d bring it down like it was just one of those things that he does.

‘People literally used to turn up at the Bernabeu to watch him just control a ball. Because it was like watching a ballerina, just the way he plays is so elegant. Everything about him, he’s elegant.’

Another former Madrid star was chosen to lead the line as Beckham went with the Brazilian Ronaldo, revealing he was left in awe of the striker in training.

‘I think when you watch Ronnie play back in the day, I mean, he’s electrifying on every level,’ Beckham continued.

‘One of our first training sessions was in Korea, I think, or China, I’m not sure where we were at the time. And the ball had just been played across to him and all he had to do was put it in the goal. And as he’s played across to him, I’m trying to defend it.

‘So I’ve slid across and as I’m sliding across, I thought he was just gonna play it first time into the goal, and as I’m sliding across he just puts his foot on the ball, and as I’m sliding past he just watches me like that with the biggest smile on his face and he just taps it in and I was like oh god! Wow!’

It appeared Beckham was on the verge of naming a team without a single United player in it, despite spending over a decade at the club after rising through the academy as a member of the Class of ’92.

But Beckham managed to get a United legend into his side in the end, as he plumped for his former captain Roy Keane, hailing the standards that the Irishman set at Old Trafford.

‘You need a leader and you need someone that’s going to actually tackle and fight and be the player that he is, so I’m gonna have to say Keaney,’ Beckham said.

‘He took no day off, and I don’t mean in the physical sense of having a day off. I mean, every single day that he stepped on that training pitch, he wanted to win. He inspired us every single day because he came in with that mentality and we all knew that that’s what we have to cope with.

‘That’s the level that we have to reach and that’s why Keaney was who he was because he was a winner and he was hungry and he always wanted to win.’

Loose Women star Coleen Nolan made a cheeky jibe at the expense of her co-star Ruth Langsford following her lengthy absence from the ITV lunchtime show

Coleen Nolan made a cheeky comment about Ruth Langsford’s lengthy absence from Loose Women.

Ruth took some time away from the ITV lunchtime show earlier this year following her split from husband Eamonn Holmes. The pair had been married for decades but shockingly announced their split earlier this year.

In a joint statement, their spokespeople confirmed the split, sharing: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

Since then, Ruth has made her return to the panel show for a week or so before heading off for some pre-arranged time off. During a chat on today’s show, they were discussing what was coming up when Ruth couldn’t think of the word to explain what she was saying. Coleen quickly jumped in to say the word, with Ruth thanking her colleague. Coleen then made a cheeky jibe at Ruth’s absence from the show, where she said Ruth had been “off for a while”.

Ruth returned to Loose Women last month following her marriage split. In her first appearance on the show since the pair went their separate ways, she said: “Welcome to your first Loose Women of the week, it’s great to have your company!” whilst Coleen stepped in to say: “Can I just say? I am so so happy that you’re back!”

The entire audience cheered as Janet Street Porter said: “Thank god! Thank god! I was left with her and her!” before Ruth apologised and added: “I’m sorry, Janet. I won’t do it again,” as they all discussed her taking an extended break from the show.

Since then, they have discussed a number of topics – but nothing specifically about Eamonn. One of the topics they chatted about was distancing themselves from toxic friends. Introducing the segment, Ruth said: “A journalist said today that female friends are too toxic to bother with and she says that women can be too catty, overly sensitive and competitive over everything from marriage to body shape. Is she right?” as panellist Myleene Klass responded: “I think it’s so lazy to make that kind of comment. It’s just women being put against women and it’s never done to men. I couldn’t disagree more because my girlfriends are my absolute rock through divorce, miscarriage and everything. I call them my 4am because there are some girlfriends I know I can rely on to ring at 4am. I had one girlfriend who knocked on my door at 2am because she didn’t hear from me.”

Ruth then said: “We suffer it on Loose Women where people always try to say ‘Aw the Loose Women are always falling out’ or ‘you can’ all get on’. It’s almost as if people can’t accept that a woman can get along with a woman. I’m not saying there can’t be catty women, but there are also catty men and b****y men too.”

Myleene Klass broke down in tears on Loose Women today as she spoke about her best friend Lauren Laverne’s cancer diagnosis

Myleene Klass was in tears on Loose Women today as she spoke about her Lauren Laverne’s cancer diagnosis.

The Loose Women star was in tears as the panel started the show by discussing Lauren’s diagnosis. The One Show presenter and radio star shared a selfie from her hospital bed today, where she wrote: “I recently had a cancer diagnosis. It was (thank God) caught early and unexpectedly during a screening test and I am expected to make a full recovery. I ‘m in hospital at the moment and wanted to take this moment to say thank you: firstly to medical teams who have got me this far with incredible skill and kindness.

“To my family and friends who have been absolutely extraordinary every step of the way – I am so very grateful and love you so much. And of course thank you to my colleagues…. for their support and for giving me the time off that I need to get better.”

Lauren and Myleene are great friends
As she spoke at the start of the show, Myleene was clapped by the audience as she broke down in tears, with the panel reassuring her. She kept saying Lauren would be angry at her for crying, but she was just devastated to hear of her diagnosis.

“She’s gonna tell me off,” Myleene said, as she spoke of how brave her friend is. “She’s my best friend. I’m so glad we get to see what an incredible woman she is. But please get tested,” she said, urging others.

Lauren took to Instagram earlier today to urge others to get tested and not put off their appointments.

“If you’re avoiding a test or putting off an appointment to get yourself checked out please, please do it today. Half of us will get cancer at some point, and if you do, finding out asap is everything,” she said, “It’s usually my job to bring the good vibes on air but any you have to spare are very much welcome here. Sending loads of love to anyone in a similar boat, or who has made it back to shore.”

The pair have a close bond, with Myleene having previously opened up about how Lauren supported her through a devastating miscarriage while live on her Smooth Radio show. She recalled: “I went to the loo while the music was playing and there was blood everywhere. I didn’t know what to do. I had one hour left of my show. I rang Lauren and she said: “Do one link, take a breath, come out and call me. Lauren got me through. I did the next link and called her. We counted the links. I would go out, sob and come back in, take a deep breath and speak. I don’t know what I would have done [without her].”*If you have been affected by this story, advice and support can be found at the Miscarriage Association.
