Victoria Beckham is celebrating U.S. Mother’s Day from across the pond!

The fashion designer, 50, shared a wholesome family snap featuring all of her and David Beckham’s children — Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21,

Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12 — posing with her in honor of the special day in the States.

“Happy US Mother’s Day to all the mother figures out there,” Victoria wrote in the caption of the image, adding,

“I love you all so much @davidbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven xxx.”

In the photo, Victoria smiled as she posed with her four kids while they sat in front of a table decorated with flowers. David, 49, didn’t appear in the snap,

but it comes two months after the Spice Girls alum was recognized by her family on Mother’s Day in England, too. At the time, David called her one of the “most amazing Mummy’s” in his life.

The new snap from Victoria, however, appears to have been captured amid her 50th birthday festivities earlier this year, as her son Cruz could be seen holding up five fingers on one hand and signaling a zero with the other.

While the kids have yet to salute their mom on the U.S. holiday — outside of Romeo, who shared the snap to his Instagram Stories — they have previously celebrated her for U.K. Mother’s Day on social media and all stepped out for her milestone 50th in late April.

The former Spice Girls member celebrated turning 50 with a star-studded bash at Oswald’s, a members-only club in London on Saturday, April 20.

Apart from her family, some of the attendees included Marc Anthony and his wife, Nadia Ferreira, Eva Longoria and her husband José “Pepe” Bastón, Jason Statham and his fiancée, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Tom Cruise.

The party also included an impromptu performance from Victoria and her former bandmates Geri Halliwell-Turner, Emma Bunton, Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm, and Melanie “Mel B” Brown.

Victoria later thanked David, who planned the party, in a sweet Instagram Stories tribute.

“I still can’t believe how special you made me feel on this evening, on my birthday, this entire week, and all of our magical years together! Thank you. I love you so much! … I am being honest,” Victoria wrote next to a photo of the two.

A day before officially turning 50, the mom of four reflected on feeling “incredibly blessed to have reached this milestone.”

“Blessed, but also accomplished and deeply content. Not just of where I am as a woman, but of how far my fashion and beauty brands have come. My ambition was always to empower women and make them feel like the best version of themselves. To me, that meant trusting my instinct and never compromising on my creative vision,” wrote Victoria in a Tuesday, April 16 Instagram post.

After thanking her loved ones for her constant support, she ushered in her new era with open arms, writing, “Here’s to doing more of what I love with the people I love. I’m so thankful for my family, my friends, and my incredible team! This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and I’m only just getting started.”

When looking at ‘nepo babies’ – the term the internet coined for celebs children who have benefitted by their connections in the industry- Brooklyn Peltz Beckham can’t be excluded.

As the son of superstars Victoria and David Beckham, the 25-year-old can’t shake nepotism accusations but that doesn’t seem to bother him.

Posh and Beck’s eldest son has often faced criticism for his ever-changing career ventures, with many saying that he is only afforded the luxury to do this, thanks to his parents.

Now the star is embracing the title. ‘I can’t help how I was born,’ Brooklyn told InTouch magazine.

He added: ‘I couldn’t ask for better parents and I’m just trying to work my ass off and trying to make a name for myself. That’s all I can say, really.’

From football to modelling and photography and now cooking, the London native has tried his hand at an array of career paths over the years.

Speaking about how his parents have supported him, Brooklyn said: ‘[My parents] didn’t care what I did or what I wanted to do. But, they were just like, ‘As long as you’re nice, you’re humble, and you work hard and you put your head down, that’s the most important thing. You can do whatever you want and it’s whatever you choose to do—try and be the best at that’.’

Brooklyn also got candid about critics of his credentials in the food industry, saying he’s well used to the attention by now and instead of being knocked down by criticism, he uses it to forge on and prove people wrong.

He went on to reveal the stellar advice his Spice Girl mum offered him to block out the hate.

‘Until two years ago, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing… my mum’s just like: Prove them wrong. Never respond to that rubbish, just prove them wrong’ Brooklyn said.

His new business venture, Cloud 23, after his father’s Real Madrid jersey, will see the star bring out a hot sauce line.

Never respond to that rubbish, just prove them wrong.” This mantra has fueled his latest business endeavor, Cloud 23, a hot sauce line inspired by his father’s legacy at Real Madrid. By channeling the negativity into motivation, Brooklyn is determined to silence his critics and make a name for himself on his own terms.As Brooklyn continues to navigate the challenges of being a ‘nepo baby’ in the public eye, he remains focused on his journey towards success.

Stay tuned for more updates on his inspiring story and entrepreneurial ventures.

Power couple David and Victoria Beckham are doting parents to sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and daughter Harper, 12.

The pair, who wed in 1999, are well known for their hands-on parenting style and regularly share updates on social media.

Over the years, David’s relationship with Harper has occasionally sparked debate. Indeed the father-daughter duo have hit the headlines on several occasions,

most notably with regards to their displays of affection. Discover all of David’s most viral moments with Harper below…

Back in 2018 David sparked controversy when he uploaded an image of himself kissing his daughter Harper on the lips.

His post quickly garnered attention, prompting a plethora of comments from the star’s surprised followers citing the move as inappropriate.

One user commented: “That looks wrong”, whilst another added “This is not right”.

Despite the backlash, several of David’s fans rushed to defend his parenting style and his sweet bond with Harper. Heaping praise on the duo, one wrote: “The comments on here astound me. If you see something other than a doting Dad kissing his daughter, you’re the one that’s wrong! The world has gone mad,” and a second noted: “It’s unbelievable how people turn things into what it is not! It is simply a beautiful act of a dad kissing his daughter…”.

David has previously spoken about his bond with Harper, explaining how he treats his daughter differently to his sons. Opening up, he said: “I’m a softie, I know I’m slightly stricter with the boys than I am with Harper.

He added: “To be honest, the boys rib me about it all the time, Victoria ribs me about it all the time.”

Meanwhile, during a Facebook Live interview back in 2017, David said: “We want to show our kids love. I got criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day… I kiss all my kids on the lips.

“Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn’s 18, he might find that a little bit strange. But I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children.”

He finished by adding: “We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and you know, we’re very affectionate with them.”

Harper driving a golf cart

In 2017 former England captain David sparked a debate when he allowed his then-six-year-old daughter Harper to get behind the wheel of a golf cart. He uploaded a clip to social media which showed David’s only daughter steering the buggy as she perched on her father’s lap.

The update quickly caught the attention of Victoria’s legion of fans after she later shared it on her respective social media alongside the caption: “Someone loves her daddy! #drivingmissharper kisses x @davidbeckham”.

One follower wrote: “Not very smart thing to do guys”, while a second remarked: “Very irresponsible David very”. David and Victoria nonetheless split opinion, with others backing the pair. Defending the couple, one wrote: “Love it! Someone will jump on the bandwagon and say it’s dangerous, watch this space!” while a second wrote: “What a touching moment between father and daughter. Thanks for sharing!”

Harper’s dummy

In 2015, Harper was spotted using a dummy at the age of four. A report published at the time warned that the four-year-old was too old to be using one, and that a dummy could cause speech impediments or dental issues.

Taking to Instagram, David shared a message writing that no one had the right to criticise him or his wife Victoria for their decision. “Why do people feel they have the right to criticise a parent about their own children without having any facts??” he penned.

He added: “Everybody who has children knows that when they aren’t feeling well or have a fever you do what comforts them best and most of the time it’s a pacifier so those who criticise think twice about what you say about other people’s children because actually you have no right to criticise me as a parent…”

David and Harper’s hugging

Last week, David prompted a social media reaction after he was spotted hugging Harper whilst the duo watched his co-owned football team Inter Miami play against St. Louis in Fort Lauderdale.

The snapshots showed Harper and David embracing each other and sweetly posing for photos. In some comments online, fans were quick to draw attention to David’s seemingly overly affectionate hugging.

“We have to keep going on this path, because I don’t know what will happen in about two years? And then after the 2026 World Cup, what will happen?”,

David Beckham expressed in a recent exclusive interview on CNBC (USA).

That is also the time when Messi’s contract with Inter Miami will expire at the end of December 2025, according to the confirmation of the MLS.

“Messi has revolutionized MLS. It’s a real gold rush. Not just Inter Miami, all the clubs in America have benefited from having Messi.

Every away game, against any team, at any stadium, no matter how big the capacity, they’re all packed. Ticket prices have gone through the roof, everything has gone up.

Obviously, we’ve benefited a lot from all the effects Messi has brought. I like the fact that it’s good for all the clubs.

It’s nice to see clubs making more money from the games, and of course for us,” David Beckham stressed.

However, Inter Miami’s owner has expressed concern. “In two years, if we don’t prepare now to take advantage of what we have to continue to develop the tournament, especially in the post-Messi era, everything can easily return to the way it was before. This is the time for MLS clubs to bring in more top stars, quality and attractive players to take the tournament further, not just rely on Messi like now”, David Beckham shared.

Messi still has a contract with Inter Miami until the end of December 2025 with an option to extend the following year, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano – a transfer information expert. However, the Argentine star is the one who decides whether to activate the extension clause or not.

These will depend on Messi’s upcoming competition schedule, including the success or failure of the upcoming Copa America and the possibility of participating in the 2026 World Cup or not. There is even a possibility that the famous player, who will turn 37 next June, will consider retiring if he no longer has the inspiration and contribution to his teammates.

“Messi also has another and surprising option, which is to return to his old club Newell’s Old Boys to play in his home country of Argentina, before retiring,” said AS (Spain).

“What is certain is that there will never be anyone like Messi again. David Beckham himself fully understands that Messi’s appeal to American football today is even greater than when he played for LA Galaxy. Therefore, once this fever passes and there is no one else with enough appeal to attract audiences to the stadium, American football will very easily return to the gloomy period before,” AS assessed.

“Therefore, it is no coincidence that MLS clubs have seen the problem from David Beckham’s warning. They are looking to recruit big-name players to join from this summer. That is Olivier Giroud (signed with Los Angeles FC), soon to be Marco Reus (from Borussia Dortmund) and Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid). Even the prospect from the beginning of 2025, MLS may also welcome Kevin De Bruyne from Man City, Sergio Ramos from Sevilla or Nacho and Luka Modric from Real Madrid, players who have expressed their intention to go to the US to play for the final stage of their careers instead of choosing the tournament in Saudi Arabia”, AS predicted.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham were some of the A-list guests who attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding, but the foursome hasn’t been photographed together in years.

“Let me tell you one thing about Victoria, Prince Harry met her just after his mother died,” Angela Levin told GB News. “His father had to go to South Africa, and they were with the Spice Girls.”

“He met her, and there’s pictures of him holding her hand. He said to me when I was interviewing him that it was the best day of his life,” she revealed.

“And so they invited them to Highgrove. He said to me, ‘That was the second best day of my life.’”

In 2018, the soccer star was an ambassador for the Invictus Games, and he traveled to Australia to support the Duke of Sussex.

“David Beckham was going to go to the Invictus Games. He was asked by Harry if he would go, and he did. But Harry wouldn’t talk to him at all,” the biographer alleged.

“He flew all the way to Sydney, but nothing happened,” she continued. “But then the Beckhams were accused of leaking material, saying nasty things about the Sussexes, and they got very upset. And that’s what made him absolutely furious.”

Although rumors began to swirl about the Sussexes’ ties to the Beckhams, the British duo continues to support King Charles.

“King Charles loves him, they’ve got lots in common now. They both love having bees and making their own honey,” Levin noted.

“And David’s moved very close to Highgrove, where the King lives, so it’s very easy to talk about. But also he’s been looking for somebody who would be help running his charity, the King’s Charity,” she explained. “And he’s a working man who actually has come up from the bottom and actually done it all himself.”

“Beckham would be marvelous at helping these people, doing all that,” she concluded.

OK! previously reported a source claimed David was “absolutely bloody furious” after he was allegedly accused of sharing information with the press. “Any making-up now is so unlikely,” the insider claimed.

“Harry was very polite, but obviously it was a pretty awkward exchange and David was mortified,” a source told a publication.

“Inexplicably, [Meghan] feared Victoria was behind it — I mean, the idea that Victoria Beckham would be personally ringing journalists to give them a scoop is ridiculous — and spoke to Harry about it,” they added.

The Beckhams haven’t been spotted in California with the Sussexes, but David once praised his friendship with the duke. In 2012, the ex-Manchester United captain gushed over his bromance with Harry and his brother, Prince William.

“They’re two people who have grown up in the spotlight and the respect that I have for them, and that people in our country and all over the world have for them, is amazing,” David said in an interview. “I have a huge amount of respect for William and Harry because of what they’ve been through from a very young age.”

“They’re a credit obviously to their mom and everyone in the royal family,” he added.

Victoria Beckham decided to share a moment of domestic bliss, which ended up turning into a series of hilarious and suggestive videos fans couldn’t get enough of.

She captured David Beckham during a gardening session, planting some flowers in the garden, and she couldn’t resist zooming in at one point.

It’s refreshing to see the couple having fun together and enjoying the quiet moments of domesticity, as they recently faced a difficult moment in their relationship.

A woman who claimed to be David Beckham’s mistress came out to share some details about what allegedly happened between them, but Victoria decided not to let it ruin their life together.

Victoria Beckham posted a couple of videos of David Beckham on her Instagram stories and fans can’t get over it.

The Spice Girls alum shared a glimpse of her domestic life with the retired soccer player, but things quickly took a turn when she made a hilarious and suggestive zoom.

She walked out with her phone to catch David Beckham planting some roses in the garden of one of their houses. He was kneeling on the ground, digging the dirt, and Victoria theatrically zoomed in on his butt.

“OK, so it’s just a regular Saturday in the country. David is doing a bit of gardening,” she narrated before yelling at her husband “You look good!”

There was a second video after that one that showed the soccer star finally accomplishing his goal, transferring the potted roses into the hole he dug in the garden. “Here we go, we have some action,” Victoria Beckham joked before warning, “Oh, it’s crumbling,” when David seemed to have some difficulties with the task.

Eventually he managed to get the plant right, and Victoria praised him for being “impressive.” Whether that’s really a regular morning for them or just a playful moment, it was very sweet to see the couple still have fun together after many decades of marriage.

Recent Ups And Downs In David And Victoria’s Marriage

While everything seems to be going great for the couple now, David and Victoria Beckham’s marriage recently received a tough blow that fans worried they wouldn’t recover from.

Rebecca Loos, a woman who claimed to have an affair with David Beckham years ago, went public again after almost 20 years, presumably with the hope of getting a response from Posh Spice. She was upset about the way David handled the infidelity allegations in his Netflix series, without admitting to anything and only focusing on his own pain following Rebecca Loos’ claims.

“He can say whatever he likes of course and I understand he has an image to preserve, but he is portraying himself as the victim and he’s making me look like a liar, like I’ve made up these stories,” Rebecca complained to the Daily Mail. “He is indirectly suggesting that I’m the one who has made Victoria suffer.”

However, if it’s Victoria Beckham’s suffering that concerns her, she doesn’t have anything to worry about, as the singer reportedly considers that chapter of her life over.

“That subject is closed,” an insider told Life & Style. “Victoria feels she’s already said everything she’s going to say on the matter. She won’t dignify Rebecca’s allegations by addressing them. The less said, the better.”

It’s only natural that long-lasting marriage would have ups and downs, but David and Victoria seem to be very good at working things out.

Inside Prince William and Prince Harry’s tense reunion – what really happened on secret visit

Prince William and Prince Harry both came together with other family members for the funeral of their uncle in Norfolk yesterday – and onlookers have described exactly what happened

Estranged brothers Princes William and Harry came together yesterday in a momentous meet, once again united in grief.

The pair, who have been embroiled in a bitter feud, both attended the funeral of their uncle Lord Robert Fellowes, who sadly died last month at the age of 82. Harry secretly flew from the US to join William at the service at St Mary’s Church in Snettisham where they paid their respects with their Spencer relatives.

It is the first time they have attended the same event since their father King Charles’ Coronation last May – although on that day, they did not sit together and weren’t spotted speaking. Previous reports say the pair have barely spoken since the funeral of the late Queen almost two years ago, with their relationship at such a low ebb, that sources said William would not want Harry at his Coronation when the time comes.

But despite seemingly managing to put their differences aside for yesterday’s service, there were signs of them still keeping their distance from one another. According to The Sun, both brothers ‘discreetly’ attended the service, slipping in and out quietly. And during the service, they tragically sat apart at the back of the church.

One source told the paper how they only saw the brothers at the end of the service adding: “I didn’t know they were there. They arrived very discreetly.” While another noted they did not speak to each other, saying: “William and Harry were both there but we never saw them speak to each other and they were keeping their distance.”

Meanwhile, Reverend Dan Tansey, who led the service yesterday, has also told of what the brothers said to him after the service. He told The Sun: “It was only as I was greeting the congregation on the way out that Prince William was shaking my hand, and then very quickly after Prince Harry did too. It was a surprise but a really really pleasant surprise that they had both come. He added: “On the way out, they both said thank you for the service and I thanked them for coming.”

After the service, which was described as a memorial rather than a funeral, a reception was held, which the vicar said was very relaxed and cordial. However, he added: “I don’t recollect them speaking to each other but there were a lot of family members and friends speaking to them.” The reverand also said it would have meant a lot to Lord Fellowes and his widow Jane, an older sister of Princess Diana, that both brothers made the service.

Elsewhere, royal biographer Ingrid Seward told the Mirror: “Harry is close to Robert Fellowes’ widow Jane. She and sister Sarah come to all of Harry’s UK events and were at Archie’s christening. The thought of having to see his estranged brother would not have worried Harry as much as the other way around. I am certain they were civil to each other. A funeral is not the time to settle scores. Or indeed a time to make up as Harry is well aware.”

The last time William and Harry were seen pictured next to each other was during a walkabout in Windsor with their wives in the days after their late grandmother death in September 2022. Since then, Harry has railed against his royal relatives, especially William, in his bombshell Netflix series and in his explosive memoir, Spare, in which he accused William of pushing him into a dog bowl in a row over Meghan.

Earlier this month, The Sunday Times reported that William is unlikely to forgive his younger brother any time soon for his digs against wife Kate in Spare. One friend told the paper: “They are estranged, which is dreadfully sad”, while another added that Harry rarely comes up in conversation with William and explained: “This year his focus has very much been on his wife, his children and his father.”

Meanwhile, Harry’s trip to the UK comes just days before the 27th anniversary of the death of his and William’s late mother Princess Diana. It was on August 31, 1997 that she died at the age of 36 following a fatal car crash in Paris, meaning tomorrow is the sad anniversary of her death.

In many of his recent public appearances, Harry has referenced Diana and her legacy, including last month when he controversially received the Pat Tillman award at the ESPYs for his work setting up his successful Invictus Games for injured servicemen and women.

William and Harry’s uncle Lord Fellowes, who was laid to rest yesterday, was married Diana’s older sister, Jane for over 45 years. They had three children – Laura, Alexander and Eleanor – who are all cousins of William and Harry. Laura is also godmother to William and wife Kate’s only daughter, Princess Charlotte.

Lord Fellowes was also private secretary to the late Queen in the 1990s, including when Charles and Diana’s marriage broke down. He also advised the late monarch when Fergie and Prince Andrew’s marriage ended and Windsor Castle went up in flames, destroying 115 rooms in 1992. He was still in the role when his sister-in-law, Diana, tragically died in a Paris car crash at the age of 36.

His role as a palace courtier meant he often had a strained relationship with his sister-in-law, but when she died suddenly, he said: “I was deeply fond of her. She was a very good person. She found it difficult in life to find happiness, and I’m sad for people who have that situation.” Kensington Palace declined to comment.

Prince Harry says he wasn’t allowed to get close to royals as ‘distance was essential’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the Royal Family four years ago and have since spoken out about life behind palace walls, with Harry making an emotional admission

Prince Harry has made a heartbreaking admission about his time in the Royal Family as he said “distance was essential”.

The Duke of Sussex stepped down as a senior working royal four years ago and has opened up about life behind Palace walls in the years since. Harry has made a number of bombshell claims about the royals in various interviews and even released an explosive memoir, Spare. In the book, he said could “never cross that chasm” and be close with his family. Harry even claimed to have been denied hugs and kisses when he was a child.

Harry wrote: “As a Royal you were always taught to maintain a buffer zone between you and the rest of Creation. Even working a crowd you always kept a discreet distance between Yourself and Them.” He said distance was “an essential bit of being royal,” and revealed it didn’t just relate to crowds. He explained: “Family included distance as well. No matter how much you might love someone, you could never cross that chasm between, say, monarch and child. Or Heir and Spare. Physically, but also emotionally.”

Harry said his brother Prince William would often ask him to give him space and said the older generation of the Royal Family “maintained a nearly zero-tolerance prohibition on all physical contact”. This included no hugs, no kisses and no pats. On special occasions, however, the Duke of Sussex said their might be “a light touching of cheeks.” In Spare, Harry detailed his childhood in the public eye as well as his experience with drugs in his older years. He also opened up about an explosive row he had with his brother William, during which the Prince of Wales allegedly called Harry’s wife Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”. Harry claims his brother then “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor”.

David Beckham is one of the world’s most famous footballers, but who are his mum and dad?

The 48-year-old is an icon when it comes to the world of sports, as well as in his love life with fashion designer and former Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham.

The power couple are still at the top of their game with four children and now, Netflix subscribers are going to be able to get an insight into David’s life.

Beckham, which comes out on Wednesday, October 4, on the streamer, will go into detail about his childhood, his courtship with Victoria as well as his flourishing career.

While many know of his successes during his adulthood, it is the early years of his life that some know very little about.

Who are David Beckham’s parents?

David Beckham grew up in Leytonstone with his dad Ted, mum Sandra and his two sisters Lynne and Joanne.

The co-owner of Inter Miami inherited his passion for Manchester United from his dad and trained at the Bobby Charlton School.

Kitchen fitter Ted and hairdresser Sandra backed David’s dreams of becoming a footballer and after he signed for the youth team at 14, they would travel hundreds of miles every weekend to see him play.

Speaking on his Disney+ documentary Save Our Squad, David said: “My dad was my inspiration, I wanted to win for him.

“I wanted to play well for him and my mum as well, of course. My mum was the one that was driving me to training, to games, when my dad was working.

“I, as a parent now, realise how much my parents gave up for me.”

However, their relationship was fractured in 2002 when his parents’ marriage broke down after 33 years and David and his sisters blamed their dad for the break up.

In his autobiography, Beckham: My World, the former footballer gave a sneak peak into what their relationship was like.

He wrote: “He loves my mum but he’s never been affectionate to her in front of my two sisters and me. He’s quite hard-faced and can be sarcastic.

“He also gets fired up easily… The quality I like least in myself is my short temper. I think I get it from my dad.”

One year later and their father-son relationship suffered another blow as David left Manchester United for Real Madrid which Ted learned of through his agent.

The pair were arguing at the time because of it and as a result, Ted wasn’t invited to watch David sign for the club, stating they had “hardly spoken”.

What made matters worse was the publication of Ted’s book which talked of David’s personal life and how his fame had contributed to the split with him and Sandra.

Ted wrote: “All the hype, all the stress, all the attention – it wasn’t a world we were used to and it was very tough. By the end, all we had in common was football. We just drifted apart.”

Their relationship only started to heal in 2007 after Ted suffered a near-fatal heart attack with David flying home from the US to be by his side.

TV presenter Kaye Adams she was left ‘terrified’ that something was really wrong after she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air on Friday’s instalment of Loose Women

Loose Women legend Kaye Adams has revealed that she was rushed to A&E after suffering a ‘traumatic’ health scare.

The popular ITV star, 61, took to social media to reveal she was left ‘terrified’ that something was really wrong after she suddenly lost all hearing in her right ear ‘minutes’ before she went live on on air on Friday’s instalment of Loose Women

Explaing her health scare on Instagram, Kaye said: “I was absolutely terrified, I thought, ‘Oh my god, what has gone wrong? On Friday when I was doing Loose Women, minutes before we went in air, my right ear just went dead. I put my earpiece in, there was no sound I couldn’t hear a thing.”

Kaye pushed through the show, not mentioning her health scare to viewers but became increasingly worried when she got home to Glasgow and her hearing still had not returned.

The Loose Women star explained that as she became more concerned, she started to google her symptoms after losing all hearing in one ear so suddenly. Kaye went to sleep but woke up the next morning and went straight to the hospital where she was looked after by the ‘dedicated’ nurses.

Kaye explained she was then sent for an audiogram at a nearby Boots hearing centre. However, she was left utterly mortified when she discovered the reason behind her sudden hearing loss. The TV star revealed that the audiologist pulled out a huge lump of wax, which was affecting her hearing.

I mean I am embarrassed to say this because, honestly, my head was going to some terrible terrible tumour, I am very melodramatic,” Kaye told her followers. “Paula pulled out the biggest bit of wax you have ever seen.”

Thankfully, the TV star has nothing to worry about, and her hearing came back immediately after undergoing to process.
