The former footballer seductively sipped on his coffee after slipping into his crisp white shirt

As the video draws to a close the footballer seductively sips on his coffee.

He captioned the video: ‘Happy Monday’ and fans rushed to the comments to heap praise on the athlete.

One fan wrote: ‘Oh man, what is it that you can’t do’ while another wrote ‘The best advertising for ironing I ever saw.’

David also made sure to post his advert to his Instagram story where he added the word ‘morning’ with a cup of coffee emoji.

David joined the Nespresso advertising campaign in November last year and joined the likes of George Clooney and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley as an official face of the home-brewed coffee brand.

The star has not revealed how much his new partnership is worth but The Evening Standard reported that George has made a whopping $40million from the partnership.

The Ocean’s 11 star has been the coffee brand’s face in Europe since 2006.

As part of the deal, the David will give fans an insight into the coffee moments he has alone or shares with family and friends.

In November last year, he shared a promotional clip to his Instagram and captioned it: ‘Things have been brewing… ☕️ As somebody who loves coffee, I’m very excited to be joining the Nespresso family.’

The star also posted a coffee advert in January.

David’s New Year campaign saw him sipping on the brand’s Vivida B12 coffee and reading a newspaper in a leafy garden as he modelled a cable knit jumper.

And David’s love of coffee could be part of his move to swap the bright lights of celebrity and stardom with the quieter life of the countryside.

The sportsman is seemingly living ‘The Good Life’ in the £6million Cotswolds farmhouse he shares with his wife Victoria.

Over the years, and more frequently in recent times, he has shared snippets of what he gets up to at his rural home with his family, following his retirement from football more than a decade ago.

David’s relaxing new way of life includes getting excited at his chickens laying ‘lovely’ eggs and showing his followers how to plant a rose shrub, as well as showing off his latest harvests.

Back in June David joked his wife Victoria, 50, would be eating spring onions for lunch and dinner after a successful harvest.

He wrote: ‘Looks like @victoriabeckham has a few spring onions for lunch and dinner for the next few weeks How am I doing @alatichmarshmbe.’

David added he was suffering from hay fever, but it certainly didn’t stop from continuing his outdoor occupations.

The Loose Women live studio audience erupted as a piece of the set, while host Jane Moore joked about the ‘scenery falling down’

The Loose Women studio was thrown into chaos on Wednesday morning as part of the set collapsed during the live show.

The panel in the ITV studio consisted of host Jane Moore and Linda Robson, Denise Welch and Paris Fury.

Yet as the women made a transition to the next segment of the midday show, a panel behind Paris fell to the floor in the studio.

The live studio audience erupted as the set piece collapsed, while Jane joked about the ‘scenery falling down’.

The panellists remained calm as part of the set hung suspended in the air, and Denise cackled with laughter as she joked: “No expense spared on this show.”

The show producers then cut away from a wide shot of the studio and when Loose Women returned from an advertising break, the panel had been replaced.

The moment came after earlier in the show, Denise said she is ‘fuming’ over Matt Hancock ’s casting on the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The ITV panel turned their attention to the highly anticipated reality show as Denise ripped into the former Health Secretary’s decision to enter the jungle.

She said she is ‘disgusted’ at the news and has been unable to ‘find the humour’ in the announcement of his inclusion in the line-up.

She said: “As far as I’m concerned we are still suffering the repercussions of what happened over the last few years.

“I was very vocal about Covid restrictions – some being incredibly unnecessary and the impact they would have on people’s livelihoods and mental health.”

She continued: “Matt Hancock was at the forefront of those. We all know now that we weren’t allowed to see our granny or anybody who had a family member in hospital or a home during Covid.

“My dad subsequently died of pneumonia. I wasn’t allowed to see him at certain times. I live with the pain of that every day.

“We could say, I will do a test before I go and visit my dad who is lonely in his house – no.”

“I’ve never envied people going in the jungle but I’d go in there for nought for one hour.” (

Denise went on to insist Mr Hancock is ‘not a celebrity’, adding: “He’s going to go in there and pretend he’s Mr Nice Guy.

“I’ve never envied people going in the jungle – I love the show and I’m a huge viewer – but I’d go in there for nought for one hour.”

Loose Women host Jane Moore joked: “I don’t think you could cover all you’ve got to say in one hour,” and Denise replied: “Well I’d give it a damn good try.”

David Beckham was in a playful mood on Saturday as he made a cheeky quip about his vegetable while giving fans a glimpse of his garden.

Taking to Instagram, the green-fingered footballer, 49, happily showcased his collection of homegrown produce as he took a stroll around the extensive vegetable patches in his Cotswolds home.

At one point, the star held up a huge courgette, with David unable to resist commenting on its eyebrow-raising shape as he remarked: ‘Bend it like Beckham’, alongside a laughing emoji.

The star went on to share a snap of an equally large marrow as he joked to wife Victoria Beckham, 50, that he ‘can feel a soup coming tonight’.

As well as showing off his impressive cucurbits, David happily gave fans a look at the rest of the fruit of his labour during the tour.

He shared: ‘My Kale is doing well. I can hear my east end mates going “He has changed”  My wife said shorten the video down but obviously didn’t listen so I’m sorry…

‘My content used to be motorbike’s & camping now it’s Kale , Honey & flowers for the house, might have to get back on the road soon. @victoriabeckham you’re welcome for the flowers for the house.’

Loose Women star Denise Welch has slammed Matt Hancock after he joined the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! cast

Loose Women star Denise Welch has said she is ‘fuming’ over Matt Hancock ’s casting on the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The West Suffolk MP has defended his decision to appear on the ITV reality show in Australia, saying it is a ‘powerful tool’ to reach young people.

Yet Mr Hancock – who has arrived in Brisbane ahead of the show’s launch on Sunday – has faced criticism over the decision and was yesterday suspended as a Conservative MP.

On Wednesday’s Loose Women, the ITV panel turned to the highly anticipated reality show as Denise ripped into the former Health Secretary’s decision to enter the jungle.

She said she is ‘disgusted’ at the news and has been unable to ‘find the humour’ in the announcement of his inclusion in the line-up.

She said the decision was ‘very last minute’ but noted she did discuss it with Mr Hancock before it was made known to the public yesterday.

She said: “He did ask me what I thought and whether I thought it was a good idea. Obviously I presented the pros and cons.

“Before I knew it, he had disappeared off to Australia. So I think this was a pretty last minute decision. Although, he has said publicly he’s twice turned it down before.”

Strictly Come Dancing has been hit with fresh claims the BBC One show is “fixed” after Fleur East and Vito Coppola fell while performing – but viewers at home never saw it

Strictly Come Dancing stars Fleur East and her professional dance partner Vito Coppola have addressed a fix row that has erupted around reports footage of their dance-off was cut from the broadcast.

The latest Halloween special episode, which was recorded on Saturday and aired the following day, saw Fleur, 35, take on EastEnders actor James Bye in the dreaded dance-off.

However, there was one moment which didn’t make the final broadcast, as a source claimed this week that the pair fell to the ground.

The pair were then reportedly allowed to restart their dance, and went on to win the dance-off against James Bye and Amy Dowden, who became the latest stars to exit the show.

The pair addressed the reports during an appearance on Loose Women on Thursday afternoon, as they sat down with host Kaye Adams, who was eliminated from the BBC One ballroom dancing show in the first week.

Explaining the fall, Vito clarified it had been him that took a tumble, as opposed to Fleur, as was previously reported.

He told the panel: “Basically, in the first few seconds of our number, I just fell down on the chair.

“Everyone was gasping there. But luckily they made sure that I was okay, so we were able to restart. I’m fine. I’m here today.”

Panellist Denise Welch clarified the decision to restart was made due to health and safety, as the pair were checked by medical staff on hand.

Vito continued: “We were continuing, because we always say to each other, ‘If anything happens, let’s just keep going’.

“I was trying to stand up and continue, when I turned Fleur was spinning away.”

Smiling, Fleur added: “I was ready. I was like, ‘The show must go on’. Then production decided to stop the music and we were like, ‘Oh, okay’.”

A spokesperson for the BBC said: “After an incident with a prop at the beginning of Fleur and Vito’s dance-off performance, the decision was made to halt proceedings to check they were not injured.

“As they had not begun to dance before the incident occurred, it was decided they could start the performance again, once it was confirmed they were fit to do so.”

Fleur added: “I was ready. I was like, ‘The show must go on’. Then production decided to stop the music.” (

Nadia Sawalha claimed the U.K isn’t the best place to be an old person at the moment on today’s Loose Women, as the former EastEnders actress revealed her parents have moved abroad for an exciting new chapter of their lives

Nadia Sawalha shared her mixed feelings about her parents recent decision to move abroad on today’s edition of Loose Women.

Chatting with co-stars Kaye Adams, Frankie Bridge and Jane Moore, the former EastEnders actress explained how her parents Nadim and Betty have jetted off on an exciting adventure abroad, as the U.K is not ‘a great place’ to live as an elderly person.

Nadia, 57, candidly admitted that while she is heartbroken to see her parents leave the country, she is thrilled to see them embracing a new lifestyle in Jordan after living next door to her in Britain for many years.

“My dad is 89 and few things going on with his health,” the star explained on Loose Women today.

“My dad has decided to go home to Jordan. We took them to the airport,” she continued.

Nadia went on to ponder how England perhaps isn’t the best country for older people to spend their final years – citing horrifying waiting times to see a doctor as one reason why.

“My dad is now sitting with his brother out in the sun – he sent me a picture,” she told those in the Loose Women studio today as she discussed her parents recent move.

She revealed her dad is currently writing a play at the age of 89, before admitting: “I want them with me – I already miss them desperately – but if you love someone you let them go.”

“I don’t think [this country] is a very good place for the elderly to live at the moment.”

In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, Nadia revealed how her parents felt ‘like a burden’ as the country headed in and out of lockdown and tried to tackle to virus.

“Not ‘elderly’ not ‘vulnerable’ not ‘a burden’ not ‘a drain on the system’’ Nadia declared on social media and she showed how much her parents mean to her.

She went on to add: “Dad says he hates being defined in that way. He hates the way the media pigeon hole his generation and leave them feeling like they are a burden.

“Well let me tell you Mum and Dad none of those descriptions come to my mind when I look at you. What does though , is a damn cool couple sat in their boyband coats eating pork pies and having a hoot!!

“I love you both so much. Funny, wise and infuriating!! Just as it should be !! @nadimsawalha.’

Nadia is the daughter of the Jordanian-born British actor Nadim Sawalha and his English wife Roberta Lane, known as Betty.

Matt Hancock is unlikely to avoid some awkward moments even when he is in the I’m A Celeb camp and away from the backlash back home…

As a newsreader and Loose Women host Charlene White is used to having strong opinions and asking some difficult questions.

And although she doesn’t know it yet, a big news moment may be just around the corner in the I’m A Celebrity camp.

Matt Hancock is unlikely to avoid some awkward moments even when he is in camp and away from the backlash back home – as Charlene says she will “constantly ask questions” in camp to all the contestants meaning there is nowhere to hide.

Although she does not know who all her campmates are yet, Charlene said: “I have got a natural curiosity for people so it doesn’t matter who I meet on a daily basis it could be, I don’t know the security that has been working on this show, or people I bump into on the street, I am constantly asking questions because I love to learn about people.

Hancock’s signing has proved to be controversial

“I think that you can learn a lot about life by asking questions and I think there is too much of a temptation for people to not be interested in other human beings, whereas I am of the opinion like ‘oh my God there is like a million stories in each and every one of us’ why do you not want to find out more about another person.”

Asked what the worst type of character in camp could be, she said: “Oh there isn’t a worst character. Part of the work that I do as a journalist I meet fascinating people, interesting people and difficult people every single day.

Charlene arrived in Brisbane Airport earlier this week (

“Working on Loose we have such a plethora of personalities which is incredible. I think luckily my strength is that I have to work with different characters on a daily basis and not a lot fazes me to be honest. So I don’t really think there is a worst type of character, that is unless it was someone that wasn’t particularly that fussed by hygiene. I think that probably goes back to my Carribean roots and having grown up in a Church where we were taught that cleanliness is next to godliness.”

Charlene took weeks to decide whether to do the show as it meant leaving her children behind for a month, somethng she had never done before.

She is used to presenting Loose Women and ITV News (

She admitted she was already really missing son Alfie, five, and daughter Florence, three, and finding it tough.

Close to tears, she said: “I have been trying really hard not to look at their pictures, because I know that it will get me all emotional. I miss them massively but as long as I don’t see pictures of them I can sort of hold on to some semblance of sanity but then I saw pictures of them yesterday in their Halloween outfits and I had a good old cry because they both looked really beautiful and really happy and I miss them tons.

“It wasn’t always plain sailing with both of those births and I think many women will be able to understand and I think there is an element of me feeling that if I can get through two births and survive and live to tell the tale and able to carry on with life once I have healed that is phenomenal then I think you get into you forties and you almost don’t feel like you need to challenge yourself anymore whereas I see this as being an opportunity to give myself something where I am being challenged.”

Charlene says onen reason for signing up for the show was “you get into your forties and you don’t necessarily give yourself challenges anymore”.

But after this huge challenge she says she will be back on Loose Women and the news within a few days.

And she can’t wait to see news updates every few minutes again, after struggling without her phone and rolling news.

She said: “It is torture! It is aboslute torture the first thing I do when I wake up at home is I roll over I go through all the news websites, my apps, through all the socials, to catch up on what news has happened overnight, what the top stories are all of that stuff so to not have had that and know that I am not going to have that for another few weeks is honestly torture and I think we all know just how fast paced the news has been over the last few years let alone the last few months.

So I honestly have no idea what sort of especially political environment I’ll be going back home to because it could all be all change by the time I get back.”

Depending on what questions she asks, Charlene could even help speak debate in the political environment.

The entrepreneur, 50 – who is known for fronting property development shows like Property Ladder – announced in August that she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer

Sarah Beeny has told how she kept her cancer diagnosis from her husband and kids because she “needed to handle it in [her] own head before telling them”.

The entrepreneur, 50 – who is known for fronting property development shows like Property Ladder – announced in August that she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The presenter – who began chemotherapy a few months ago – cut off some of her hair prior to treatment and has since embraced going bald.

The telly favourite appeared on Loose Women to discuss her diagnoses with the panel.

She told how she had received her diagnosis 40 years after she lost her mum to the same disease when she was 10 years old and her mum just 39.

Sarah Beeny said she kept her cancer diagnosis from her husband and kids while ‘handling it in her own head first’
Sarah heartbreakingly told the ITV show: “I’ve waited my whole life for this diagnosis. I always expected it.”

She got regular checks all through her 20s and paid after the scheme shut down to have regular checks privately.

She told how she had recently had her standard age 50 mammogram but went back for another check after finding a lump.

“I hit 50 and I was diagnosed and was like ‘oh, here it is’. It was waiting for me,” Sarah said, telling how her mum’s diagnosis and death had haunted her since childhood and she’d always just “assumed” she’d get it.

“Trust your own body, go back again if you have a lump,” she advised viewers and the audience.

The property developer told how she went to her diagnosis appointment alone and waiting before telling her family.

The mum-of-four said: “I needed to handle it in my own head before telling them.”

Sarah recently spoke about having shaved her head after being diagnosed with cancer, saying that she now wants to challenge shame that’s associated with baldness.

Sarah recently told how she’s keen to “change [the] stereotype” around baldness, saying people can feel “ashamed” or be perceived as “victims” – though she wants to challenge such ideas.

Speaking to the Daily Mail ‘s Weekend magazine, she said people with no hair are often seen as “victims” and added that cancer patients are often “ashamed” to go bald.

Sarah said a lack of hair can be associated with victimhood and punishment, citing examples like Fantine in Les Misérables and Game of Thrones’ Cersei Lannister.

She said: “People are ashamed of their bald heads. […] Why? If you’ve got breast cancer and you’re having treatment, the fact you have no hair is not a reason to be ashamed”.

Sarah – who debuted her shaved head in photos for the outlet – said: “I don’t want to be ashamed. I don’t want other people to feel ashamed. I want to change that stereotype.”

She had initially cut her hair short with the help of her sons Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Raffey 14, and Laurie, 13. She posted about the experience on Instagram back in August.

She announced that she had donated her locks to charity the Little Princess Trust, which provides real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair.

Just a few weeks later, Sarah revealed on the social media platform that she had shaved her head after her hair began to fall out in clumps amid chemotherapy.

Discussing the experience with Weekend magazine, she said that it was “really traumatic” when her hair began to fall out after she had started the treatment following her diagnosis.

She recalled that she cried over it and said that she ended up shaving her head shortly afterwards. She has since tattooed her eyebrows in case they fall out in the future.

Sarah – who now has a collection of wigs at home – said that her cancer is fast growing, but explained that there is no evidence that it has spread to her lymph nodes.

And she is said to have been keeping busy with various projects, including working on a new book about her life as well as a Channel 4 documentary about her cancer.

Charlene White has revealed she has been getting I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here advice from her Loose Women co-star Linda Robson ahead of her jungle stint

Charlene White has been getting I’m A Celebrity advice from her Loose Women co-star Linda Robson.

The ITV news presenter has revealed what advice her co-stars have been giving to her ahead of the launch of the ITV show, which begins on Sunday evening. Charlene is joining nine other celebrities in the Australian jungle.

Ahead of the new series, she has revealed just what advice her co-stars had been giving her, and admitted some of them would be likely to vote her in for the trials. However, she insisted one of the panellists would be kind to her and do all they could to make sure she wasn’t subjected to the worst of the Bushtucker trials.

Asked by The Mirror if any other celebrities had given her some advice, she said: “Yes, Linda Robson suggested that I try and sneak sleeping pills into my bra. Allegedly, she did that when she did this.

“But I will not – and I’ve got a producer staring at me – I definitely will not be doing that.”

Charlene is a staple on Loose Women lunchtimes, and she has admitted some of them will be desperate to see her doing the trials.

“You know what, there’s a chance that they would vote for me to do it. I find it really funny. Like I think Coleen [Nolan] would find it really funny, Denise [Welch] would definitely find it really funny. I think Nadia definitely wouldn’t,” she revealed.

“Nadia [Sawalha] would be very much like no, we can’t put her through that. Janet [Street Porter] probably would make me to do it. So I think she’d absolutely kill herself laughing. So be it’d be less about trying to talk to me and more about them thinking it well, you know, it would absolutely crack them up that evening.”

Being on the ITV show panel, Charlene feels she is “quite outspoken by nature” – and hasn’t ruled out telling off any of the celebrities.

“I’m not saying that I’m going to be yelling at people and interrogating them or anything like that but I have a genuine love of sitting and talking to people, that’s why I do the jobs that I do.”

She added: “Just because somebody’s a celebrity doesn’t mean that they can’t get a telling off from me.”

Loose Women star Sophie Morgan discussed how abusive can manifest in relationships for disabled people, as she recalled being ‘left in the sea for hours’ when chatting on the ITV show

Sophie Morgan has recalled a shocking incident that occured in a past relationship during today’s edition of Loose Women.

Sophie gave examples of how disabled people can be vulnerable when it comes to being subjected to physical and emotional abuse and shared her own experience – telling the Loose Women audience how she was once ‘left in the sea’ for hours’ in a past relationship.

The award-winning disability advocate, 37, spoke on the ITV show ahead of her new documentary airing, in which she investigates how disabled abuse victims are being ‘let down by police’ on tonight’s installment of Dispatches on Channel 4.

Sophie was just 18 when she was involved in a car crash that left her instantly paralysed from the chest down in 2003.

The star was hospitalised and rehabilitated for about three months and now uses a wheelchair as a result of a spinal injury.

Speaking with co-stars Janet Street-Porter, Jane Moore and Coleen Nolan on this week’s first offering of Loose Women, Sophie explained how disabled people can suffer abuse from their romantic partners.

“Say for example, I get into an argument with a boyfriend and they take my wheelchair away from me which would leave me stuck and dependant on them – very intimating.

“Or we have a row they put things out of reach…. I got left in the sea once for hours, so there was specific abuse around the fact I had a physical disability but then there was the tolerating of certain behaviours that I tolerated because I have a disability.

Tonight’s episode of Dispatches on Channel 4 will see Sophie exploring the shocking statistic that one in seven disabled people experience domestic violence compared to one in 20 non-disabled people.

“Some of the stories we heard I don’t think I will ever forget. It was really heartbreaking,” said in an interview early this month when discussing the upcoming programme.

“It does feel like two different lives. The person I became after my injury is very different to the person I was. I’ve grown up, obviously, as I was a kid, but those two realities, personalities, identities definitely feel very split.”
