    The Beckhams have taken over Paris as Victoria prepares to launch her Spring/Summer 2025 collection during Fashion Week.

    Brooklyn and Nicola have flown in to enjoy the festivities of Fashion Week before Victoria’s show on Friday, and were seen arriving at the Courrèges show on Wednesday morning.

    Brooklyn channeled his dad David Beckham‘s infamous leather look, rocking a Courrèges jacket and matching trousers.

    David’s 1999 leather look has gone down in fashion history, with Victoria later admitting that the couple’s decision to sport matching Gucci still ‘haunts me’.

    Nicola meanwhile was looking chic in a strapless white jumpsuit with sheer details on the side for the Wednesday show.

    The actress went braless, almost baring all, whilst she completed her look with platform heels.

    The couple arrived in Paris on Tuesday while Victoria was busy with her preparations on Monday, making her arrival in the French capital with son Romeo, 22.

    Romeo cut a stylish figure in a black leather Rhude X Lamborghini jacket on Tuesday night as he was pictured out and about in the city.

    While Brooklyn channelled David, Romeo appears to have taken inspiration from his mother’s stylish 2001 wardrobe as she previously stepped out in a similar style Dolce & Gabbana leather jacket.

    The motocross jacket worn by Victoria originally cost £965, however, they are now being snapped up second-hand for £7,800 on one pre-loved site.

    The jacket proved incredibly popular at the time with stars including Naomi Campbell, Madonna and Jennifer Saunders being spotted in it.

    Earlier this year, Nicola also paid homage to her mother-in-law as she stepped out in the exact same leather jacket.

    Paris Fashion Week runs from September 23 to October 1, with a string of major designers choosing the City of Light to showcase their next collections.

    L’Oreal kicked things off on Monday with a star-studded runway featuring the likes of Kendall Jenner, Heidi Klum, Eva Longoria and Cara Delevingne.

    Tuesday saw Dior welcomed Anya Taylor-Joy and Rosamund Pike to the FROW before Saint Laurent was the highlight of the evening calendar.

    Brooklyn Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz rides a trolley while dad David plants a kiss on his son’s cheek as he’s joined by the entire family to celebrate the launch of his £15 hot sauce

    The Beckham clan were out in full force on Friday as they headed to Wholefoods in London to celebrate the launch of Brooklyn’s new hot sauce.

    The aspiring chef, 25, announced his latest cooking venture Cloud23 on Tuesday, and has now revealed it’s available to buy in the UK.

    Priced at a steep £15 a bottle, the oldest of the Beckham children has created two flavours, Hot Habanero and Sweet Jalapeno, as well as a range of clothing merchandise.

    He was joined at the launch event by his wife Nicola Peltz, 29, who sweetly held his hand as they made their way around the store, before enjoying a ride in a shopping trolley to promote the product.

    Brooklyn’s famous family could barely contain their pride, with dad David, 49, planting a kiss on his son’s cheek, alongside mother Victoria, 50, and younger brother Romeo, 22.

    His grandmother Sandra and aunt Joanne were also in attendance at the exciting event, as well as Nicola’s brother Will Peltz, who is an actor.

    Sandra, 75, looked delighted with her grandson’s newest venture as she picked up a bottle of the new hot sauce.

    The star shared snaps from the launch with his 16.8 million Instagram followers and wrote in the caption: ‘Thank you all for coming to support me x love you all.

    ‘You can buy @cloud23 @wholefoodsuk @wholefoods market. I have put my heart into this and I’m so excited for you all to try.’

    David was quick to jokingly comment: ‘Proud of you mate it’s soooooo good, hope nanny paid for hers @brooklynpeltzbeckham.’

    Brooklyn put on a colourful display for the event, stepping out in a bright blue jumper, which he teamed with jeans and Doc Martens.

    He celebrated the new product by donning a cream and blue hat from his merchandise range.

    The entrepreneur looked lovingly at wife Nicola, who cut an effortlessly stylish figure in blue flared jeans and a black plunging leather jacket that flashed a peek of her toned midriff.

    Brooklyn’s plans for the Cloud 23 range of food and drinks were first revealed by MailOnline in January.

    Beckham junior confirmed plans to launch a product ‘in the food space’ in an interview in June, saying it would launch in September in Whole Foods.

    Brooklyn told InStyle magazine in June of the then-unconfirmed food: ‘It’s nice, because it’s so broad. You can use it in spicy margaritas, you can use it on chicken, you can use it on sushi.’

    He added: ‘I can’t say what, exactly, it is, but it’s in the food space. It’s been a passion project of mine for the last two-and-a-half years, something I’ve literally put everything into. I’ve never worked so hard on anything in my life.’

    He put his own funds into the project, too. ‘I had to find a ­distributor… finding a CEO is very difficult, especially for a start-up. The first year was just me — I put a lot of money in to start it on my own — and then maybe under a year ago, I got investors.’

    It’s been a very successful month for the Beckhams, with Victoria releasing her new perfume earlier this week and Romeo making his catwalk debut.

    The former Spice Girl sent temperatures soaring once again by sharing racy behind-the-scenes footage of her fourth fragrance launch on Thursday.

    She commanded attention as she launched the perfume in style with her sexiest promo yet.

    In the raunchy clip, she went braless and without underwear as she flashed a peek of her cleavage and stripped down to a tiny bodysuit for the shoot.

    The daring promo came hours after the Beckham clan joined their brood for dinner at swanky Michelin-starred restaurant Dorian in London’s Notting Hill on Wednesday to celebrate son Romeos’ catwalk debut amid his foray into fashion.

    Taking to Instagram, the fashionista quipped: ‘INTRODUCING 21:50 RÊVERIE EAU DE PARFUM — LAUNCHING TODAY.

    ‘My newest fragrance, 21:50 Rêverie, is deep, seductive and incredibly personal. Dark, raw vanilla and tonka beans with tobacco leaves and cedarwood.

    ‘I created this scent in collaboration with master parfumier Jérôme Epinette to reawaken memories of a moment of personal renaissance and my dreamlike state. My reverie. xx Victoria.’

    Stunning scenes saw Victoria lying down on a huge set featuring a sandy beach scene and mysterious moody sky.

    The star posed in front of blinding lights and a number of huge film cameras in the retro-style video.

    She let her long brunette locks flow over her shoulders and wore a sultry face of makeup, featuring a dramatic smoky eye.

    Victoria spoke on the voiceover to explain the backstory between the perfume and told her followers: ‘I smelled 21:50 Rêverie and it took me back to this wonderful trip that myself and David went on to Java.

    ‘The reason that I chose the name Reverie – I felt that I was in a state of dreaming, seeing candles light up, the rice fields and how the ground, grass, and the Earth smelt.’

    She added: ‘I love working with Steven Klein. I love how he photographs women. For me, he makes women look like superheroes.’

    Her new fragrance called 21:50 Rêverie marks the fourth scent in her collection and is available to buy from today (October 3), costing £170 for 150ml or £245 for 100ml.

    The 66-year-old explained: “Well I had Lauren when I was 25, and then there was an 11 year gap before I had Louis and then I think about a five-year gap between Bobby. So at 25 I was quite a young mum and everything

    “I lost one inbetween Louis and Bobby, sorry Louis and Lauren, so I would have had four children but that didn’t happen.”

    Confirming the close bond her children now have as adults, the former Birds of a Feather star added: “It was just the age difference, Lauren hated Louis when he was born as she had 11 years on her own sleeping in a bed with me, and it was just me and her.

    “Then all of a sudden this brother turns up who has got eczema and asthma so he needed a bit more care than the other kids.

    “It was only when we went to Australia, I was working out in Australia and I took the three kids out there, that Louis and Lauren bonded because she was looking after him while I was working. Now the three are close as anything, they really are.”

    Linda told her co-stars: “You know, when you just know that it’s not the same as the other pregnancies and something’s not quite right there. So I rang the hospital and asked if I could come in and have another scan.”

    Loose Women is set to honour the beloved late panellist with a special tribute today (October 16) marking the 10th anniversary of her untimely passing.

    Close friend Jane McDonald recently revealed that she believes that Lynda is still guiding her life in some ways years after her death.

    The pair were very close friends after appearing on Loose Women together from 2004 until 2010 and Jane says Lynda gave her other career breaks along the way.

    “So I still think Lynda’s guiding us all in our own ways. Her and I became really, really good friends over the years of Loose Women,” Jane told the White Wine Question time podcast. “I’ll always be grateful to Lynda for guiding me a little bit.”

    Lynda’s husband Michael previously feuded with her sons over her assets after she died.

    The TV star’s £1.9million estate caused a public dispute as her two sons Robbie and Michael alleged Mr Pattemore splashed “thousands of pounds on lavish holidays and other luxuries”.

    But In June 2016, a document released by the High Court showed that the actual value of said estate was only £166,000. Her actual debts, according to the document, numbered more than £1.7million.

    In 2017, it was reported that Michael and Robbie were to be left with just £50,000 each of their mother’s estate. At the time, various outlets reported that they had been “betrayed” by their step-father.

    At the time, Lynda’s son Michael argued: “It’s a kick in the teeth hearing about his hell when he’s sitting on around £5million of property, much of which was bought with our mum’s money. None of Mum’s family or friends will speak to him now.”

    Exclusive: Coleen Nolan reveals secret grief that will haunt her forever

    In a second exclusive extract from her new guidebook to grief, Loose Women star Coleen talks about the shocking impact of a 30-year-old tragedy and gives an honest a frank account of losing a parent in more ways than one

    Coleen Nolan knows more about grief then she would ever wish to.In fact, she’s literally written the book on it.

    Her new guide A Hand To Hold – All I’ve Learnt About Grief …. shares the poignant stories from Coleen’s past – including this exclusive extract about the lessons she learned after her sister’s Bernie’s devastating death in 2013.

    But here Coleen opens up about the loss of two very significant women in her her brotherBrian’s wife Linzie who died from a suddenly from a viral infection in her 30s….and the very different experience of losing her beloved mum Maureen to dementia after five years of pain.

    Here, as she prepares to release her new book inspired by her Mirror and Co-op Funeralcare podcasts, COLEEN NOLAN share her honest and frank account….

    My first really notable experience with grief was when my sister-in-law, Linzie, died suddenly in 1991 after contracting a viral infection.

    She was only 26 years old – the same age as I was – and it was such a terrible shock, it shook me to the core.

    All these years later in fact, I don’t think I’ll ever get over that first sudden grief; it will haunt me forever.

    But while my family and everyone who knew Linzie were trying to come to terms with their loss, I saw how hard people found it to know what to say to us. I think, from then on, I knew I wanted to be able to say a few words to other people who found themselves in my shoes. Of course, in the years between then and now, life has taken more people from me.

    It was seven years later, in 1998, when we lost our father, Tommy, at only 73, to liver cancer.

    In the intensity of grief, it can be hard to see that the loss can shape us almost as much as knowing the person did.

    Just a few years later, our lovely mum, Maureen, passed after suffering terribly from Alzheimer’s disease.

    Mum’s passing, or the lead up to it, was just awful.

    We had to watch as the woman we all knew and loved simply disappeared and was replaced by an aggressive stranger who eventually didn’t recognise any of us.

    Now us Nolans, are an Irish Catholic family. When I lost my beloved sister in-law at such a young age, I found myself screaming at an unjust God. Why would He take such a young, beautiful soul when there are evil people out there walking around as fit as fiddles?

    I told myself back then that there couldn’t actually be a God, and that I no longer believed in him.

    Yet much, much later, when my mother was dying, bed-bound and ravaged by her Alzheimer’s, I found myself turning to that same God and pleading with him to allow our mother a fast and peaceful death.

    I remember one night I lay with her in the home we’d had to put her in, and I thought, ‘If there is a God, please let her pass peacefully – and quickly too’, as I couldn’t bear to see her suffer like she was.

    When she finally died, I acknowledged that perhaps He had heard me because she did pass peacefully. And although it was heartbreaking, I also felt a huge sense of relief that she was no longer suffering.

  • EastEnders legend ‘preferred Coronation Street’ and never watched BBC show before role

    EastEnders legend ‘preferred Coronation Street’ and never watched BBC show before role

    EastEnders icon Natalie Cassidy has discussed her career and revealed that she had never watched the BBC soap before getting the role of Sonia Jackson in the early 1990s

    Natalie Cassidy, star of EastEnders, has confessed that she had never seen the show before landing the role of Sonia Jackson in the early 90s.

    The surprising admission came during her appearance on the Comfort Eating with Grace Dent podcast, where she discussed her career journey.

    She explained that her family were more inclined towards ITV’s Coronation Street than the BBC classic, hence why she’d never watched EastEnders.

    “We didn’t watch EastEnders, we watched Coronation Street in our house. Never watched EastEnders. My Dad didn’t like it. My mum didn’t really, it was Corrie.” Natalie also shared how she always felt she possessed an “old soul” and was quite mature for her age.

    She explained: “I was like an adult at 10. I’ve always had a very old soul. I’ve always surrounded myself by older people, spoken to older people. I would go round a mate’s house, they’d go to bed and I’d sit with the mum. I’d be mates with all the mums more than the kids.”

    This isn’t the first time Natalie has opened up about personal aspects of her life. Earlier this year, she made a candid admission about her personal hygiene on Loose Women.

    She confessed to being a fan of bidets, leaving the panel taken aback by her unexpected stance on the matter.

    Natalie revealed: “I like a bidet, it reminds me of my family bathroom when I was little. mum and dad’s bathroom, there was always a little bidet in there.”

    “I haven’t got a bidet now but I do sometimes, on a warm day when I haven’t got time for a shower, fill up the sink and have a flannel wash.”

    Natalie’s confession about both the bidet and the flannel wash sparked some controversy on social media, with one user criticising the star.

    They posted: “By the time you have messed about having a ‘flannel wash’ you could have jumped in the shower. Flannel washes are such an old-fashioned thing to do.”

    Another chimed in: “Flannel wash, very Victorian hygiene trait. A shower is far more hygienic (top to feet), and quicker.”

    Frankie Bridge was left red-faced after making a racy comment about Sir Rod Stewart live on air as the panel chatted with Penny Lancaster about her husband’s health

    Frankie Bridge begged people to move on after she made an accidental racy confession about Sir Rod Stewart.

    The Saturdays singer was on the Loose Women panel today alongside Brenda Edwards, Kaye Adams and Penny Lancaster – the wife of Rod Stewart – when she made the blunder. She admitted she was struggling with her knees as Penny explained that Rod was doing much better and was focusing on his exercise and improving his health.

    When Frankie was asked how she felt about exercise and improving her health, she quipped that she “wished she had more of Rod in me” before she realised what she said, and set the whole audience and panel into fits of laughter.

    Frankie desperately tried to move on the conversation with Kaye quipped they should end the show there and then because no one was going to be able to say anything better than that, leaving them all in hysterics.

    Earlier this month, Rod was forced to cancel one of his landmark Vegas shows after falling ill.

    “We regret to announce that tonight’s Rod Stewart concert in Stateline, NV and his August 10 show in Lincoln, CA have been postponed, as the singer recovers from a summer strain of Covid-19. The Lincoln XA concert at Thunder Valley Casino will now be on August 18 and his concert at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys in Stateline, NV, concert will now be August 20. Ticket holders should hold on to their tickets as they will be honoured for the reschedule shows,” a post on Instagram read.

    During a previous interview, the singer confessed his “days were numbered” but insisted he wasn’t fearful about it.

    He said: “I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear. We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket. I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few — probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy. I’m not like I was in the ’70s and ’80s and I can’t stay up all night, get drunk and go mad and still have a voice just like that. Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show.

    “The older you get, the more you have to do that. Water has a hell of a lot to do with it. But no, you think I just have water on my rider? You’re talking to Rod Stewart here, mate. We go mad after every show. There are 13 of us, six women, really great musicians and I make them drink. We absolutely love it. Before the show I have a quick Bacardi which I am trying to convince myself is good for my voice. After a show we all get stuck into the Martinis. Most bands all go home and go to bed but we don’t. We have a big old party.”

  • Exclusive: Loose Women’s Charlene White’s powerful message to racist far-right rioters

    Exclusive: Loose Women’s Charlene White’s powerful message to racist far-right rioters

    Loose Women star Charlene White has shared a passionate message to far-right supporters after riots across the country following fatal stabbings in Southport

    When far-right riots broke out around the country, the scenes of hate brought back bad memories for Loose Women ’s Charlene White.

    Born and raised in south-east London, Charlene grew up a couple of miles from Eltham – a stronghold of the racist far-right National Front, and the place where black teenager Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993.

    Charlene, the daughter of Jamaican parents, says the language used in the recent riots was the same language she heard frequently as a child.

    She says: “I grew up knowing the rumblings of the far right and racism – I’ve certainly had racist abuse thrown in my direction. But I know my worth. Those people believe that through violence, dissent, and aggression, they can control what I do with my life. The sort of language they were using was the same language of generations ago. I choose to not let those people have control over how I feel about myself.”

    The riots followed the fatal stabbings in Southport of Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, Bebe King, six, and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar on July 29. The ugly scenes across the country, hijacking the nation’s grief, were organised by the far right.

    Newsreader Charlene adds: “There’s a small section of society that feels through behaving in that way, they can control what happens to those they don’t like – those they hate simply because of where they’re from. I choose to not give them power over me. I choose to still do the things that I want to do in my life.”

    And she points to the contrasting scenes in Walthamstow, north-east London, where thousands turned out for a peaceful counter-protest and drowned out the extremists.

    Charlene says: “The only thing that made me emotional during those entire few days was the thousands that turned up at Walthamstow. That’s the country that I’ve been raised in, and the place I call home.”

    Home is something that holds deep resonance for the former I’m A Celebrity contestant, who is best known for presenting ITV News and sitting on the Loose Women panel.

    It is at the heart of her first book, No Place Like Home. In it, she shares her own sense of home as a Jamaican Londoner, and interviews eight others who give their perspectives, shaped by events ranging from difficult family situations to political upheaval and war.

    Charlene White
    Nadia Sawalha, Charlene White, Judi Love and Jane Moore on Loose Women
    It includes someone who went through the care system, and a family from Ukraine displaced by Russia ’s invasion. It is a timely piece of work. Charlene explains: “I don’t think any individual has the right to tell somebody else where they can call home. We have so many cultures who live here as a result of the empire. Great Britain wouldn’t be if we didn’t become the mix of cultures we are. My grandparents came here because they were asked to come to help rebuild the country.

    “My hope is these people stop believing they can control where somebody else calls home. It’s a fundamental right to be able to be somewhere safe, where you can raise your family for the betterment of the country that you move to.”

    For Charlene, home is South London, where she lives with partner Andy Woodfield and their children Alfie, seven, and Florence, five.

    The seeds of her book began back in 2021 after working on her documentary Empire’s Child for ITV – exploring how the legacy of the British Empire has shaped her own family’s history. It left her feeling the need to explore further. She says: “There was a scene where the genealogist had taken me to a patch of land my ancestors had bought when they became freed slaves.

    “I had a really weird reaction to it – my entire body just crumbled. It felt like I had this connection to this bit of land I’d never been to. It got me thinking about how I feel about home. I grew up in this Jamaican household in London, so my heart belongs in two places. There’s room for more than one place in your heart.”

    Unexpectedly, the book also gave her dad Dennis a voice to tell a story he had bottled up for decades. He had been what is called a “barrel child” – youngsters left behind when parents move for work, eventually sent for when finances allow it.

    Charlene says: “For my dad, that took over a decade. While he lived with his uncle in Jamaica, my grandparents had further children here. At 16, he arrived to two parents he’d not seen since he was a toddler – and these sisters he’d never met. It’s really hard for him. I learned about the impact on him emotionally, and why he’s the person he is. There are thousands who had to deal with that as children. Not all survived in the way my dad did.”

    One thread that runs through Charlene’s book is the idea that safety and security as a child affect who you become as an adult. She says: “The partners you choose, the life you lead, the jobs you do, the people you have around you. If you’ve had a safe and secure childhood, it’s reflected in adulthood. I think we underestimate how important it is.”

    She accepts that her children have a privileged life compared to many of those in her bulletins. And she ensures they know all about current affairs. She says: “They’re very aware of the world. We have conversations about it. We watch Newsround on CBBC every morning, and if they have questions, we talk about it.”

    Unlike her own parents did, she would not discourage them from going into journalism. She says: “Coming from an immigrant household, there are specific jobs we were supposed to go into like doctor, dentist, lawyer, accountant. So they were really upset when I decided to do journalism. They didn’t forgive me until I got my first job!”

    This defiant showing comes after Ruth gave Eamonn a “final warning” after he moved out of their Surrey home. Bella magazine reported that the TV presenter had looked to draw a line under their relationship: “Ruth doesn’t want him to feel like he can pop back and forth when he likes to grab bits. She wants a clean slate and has even told friends she might change the locks.”

    This has coincided with Eamonn taking a break from presenting the Breakfast Show on GB News, telling viewers that he was going on annual leave until “next week”. Meanwhile, Ruth recently dampened hopes of a reconciliation between the pair, hinting she could never be friends with the dad-of-four. The mum-of-one was hosting ITV’s Loose Women when the panel started discussing friendship with an ex. Ruth told singer Sinitta she was lucky she was still friends with ex-boyfriend, Simon Cowell, Ruth mused: “Not everyone can do that”.

    Eamonn told Best magazine he hoped he could be friends with Ruth after their split, but conceded it was “too soon’ to tell. His comments came before it was reported Ruth found messages between her husband and another woman on a laptop. She is said to have been left “hurt” after finding out Eamonn is being consoled by Katie Alexander, 42, after the relationship counsellor struck up a friendship with the veteran broadcaster over the past couple of years.

Speaking to The Sun, he admitted he was “heartbroken” when his own marriage came to an end, adding it took him years to “recover”. He said: “She’s going through what I did after our marriage ended.” George added: “She was not swooning over him like he was George Clooney. But she liked being on social media and one day she said she’d had a reply from him.”
