    Linda Robson reveals show her kids banned her from appearing on and ‘off limits’ Loose Women topics

    Loose Women star Linda Robson has revealed the warning her kids have given her as she continues to be outspoken on screen

    Linda Robson has admitted the one show her kids have warned her from appearing on.

    The outspoken Loose Women star, 66, is known for saying it how it is, but she admits her kids sometimes offer her some much-needed advice.

    Linda revealed she is loving her time the daytime talk show, but knows she can sometimes go a little bit overboard. In a recent interview, the former Birds of a Feather star admitted she had to have a sit-down talk with her three kids to work out what was “off limits” when it comes to sharing her personal life with the public.

    Speaking to Woman Magazine, she said: “We already had all that [off limits chat] with my book. Normally I’m OK – they know that they can trust me at the moment. But I am known for getting into trouble on the show quite a lot.”

    Linda also opened up on the one show her kids – Lauren, 41, Louis 32 and Roberta, 28 – have banned her from following her split from the father of her youngest two children, Mark Dunford. She revealed she had been asked to appear on Celebs Go Dating, but her kids have demanded she rejects any approach.

    She continued: “I was asked to do Celebs Go Dating, and my kids said. ‘You can’t,” but I think I’d be really funny on their and I’m not going to have sex with anyone or anything – I’d just have a laugh – but they told me ‘No, you’re not doing that!”

    Teasing a potential appearance anyway, she opened up on how Vanessa Feltz appeared on the show and is said to have received a generous pay packet for her time.

    Linda also revealed the prank she played on her kids after they advised her against heading into the Celebrity Big Brother House. They had told their mum that she only had to say one thing wrong and her career could be in tatters.

    Despite her insistence she wouldn’t, she opted against entering – but not before having some fun with them. She explained on the night of the show’s launch she purposely didn’t answer her phone. “They were rinigng me, but because they’d told me I couldn’t do it, I decided not to answer the phone,” she revealed.

    The summer months are filled with some of the most important events for the royal family, such as the yearly Trooping the Colour, the Royal Ascot horse races, and a royal wedding. The Duke may be feeling overwhelmed by the attention he receives at these high-profile events, which often feature royal appearances.

    According to royal expert and author of *Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family*, Tom Quinn, the prince is experiencing nostalgic feelings for his former life across the pond. While the Duke wishes to spend more time in England, Quinn told *The Mirror* that the Duchess has already stated her intention not to return to the UK. “The Duke wants to spend more time in the UK, but he knows he is going to have to do it alone,” said Quinn. “It is no secret that the Duchess has made it clear that she has no plans to go back to England. If the Duke wants to mend fences with his family, this will make it very difficult for him to do so.”

    Quinn continued by discussing the Duke’s friendships, noting that he longs for his military friends and that, with the honeymoon period of his major relocation to California over, the reality of living so far away from home is beginning to sink in.

    “After the excitement of moving to the US, the honeymoon period is now over, and the Duke is beginning to find time hangs heavy for him. He is increasingly nostalgic for much of his old life back in the UK. For all his problems with his family, he always loved his military and school friends, and he misses them.”

    Speaking after reports surfaced that the Sussexes used to have a hidden estate in the Cotswolds where they frequently hosted guests and parties, the royal insider said that the couple enjoyed being away from the media and public glare in London. In his biography *Spare*, the Duke of Sussex remarked that he considered the cottage to be his forever home until it wasn’t.

    They resided at the rural property while Frogmore Cottage was being rebuilt. “This very spot was planned to serve as my permanent residence at one point,” he reported. “In reality, it had been little more than a quick pit stop.”

    Victoria Beckham has revealed she struggled to balance motherhood and her career when her children were younger.

    The singer and fashion designer, 50, also admitted her and her husband David Beckham, 49, ‘didn’t have much of a social life ‘ when they were raising their family.

    In the interview with Nicole Kidman for Vogue Australia, published on Friday,  Victoria said that she struggled to find the right balance and said that her and her footballer husband didn’t rely on staff to raise their children.

    The former Spice Girl explained that while the family had nannies and their parents to help with childcare, she still felt like she was having to juggle different commitments while trying to be the best mother she could.

    She explained that she had felt a lot of pressure to be the best mother, wife, and have still have a successful career.

    She said: ‘We’ve never had an enormous amount of staff, if you like. We do have nannies and we do have our parents, who have been amazing. But you do feel like you’re juggling.

    ‘You’re trying to be the best wife, the best mum, the best professional. We didn’t have much of a social life when the children were younger, that is just that one thing too much’

    But the former singer said that as her children fly the nest, she and David ‘are in the next chapter’ and have shifted their focus.

    Victoria and David were married on July 4, 1999 and share four children – Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19.

    Brooklyn now lives in New York with his wife, model and actress, Nicola Peltz but the pair’s other children make regular appearances in their parent’s Instagram posts.

    The youngest Beckham, Harper, 13, still lives with her parents but the fashionista explained to Nicole that she has her own friends and while the pair are very close, Victoria said that she’s very independent.

    The tell-all interview comes as the former pop star graced the August cover of Vogue Australia.

    The beauty showed off her incredible figure as she posed in a daring black mini dress.

    ‘I have a husband I very much am still in love with, possibly more than when we first met,’ she said.

    The couple, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this year, couldn’t keep their hands off one another as they cosied up while relaxing at the stern of the boat.

    Victoria looked effortlessly styling in a black sports bra and miniskirt as she wrapped her legs over David who draped a white towel around his shoulders.

    The fashion mogul shielded from the sun with a baseball cap and kept cool by tying her long brunette tresses back in a neat ponytail.

    The couple seemed in good spirits as David went for a swim in the ocean while Victoria sat on the steps off the boat letting the sea splash her to cool off from the hot Italian sun.

    Pregnant The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton fumes at Conor Maynard as she prepares to give birth

    The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has claimed that pop star Conor Maynard has failed to respond to her messages as she prepares to welcome their child after a one-night stand

    The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton has hit out at singer Conor Maynard as she prepares to welcome his baby.

    Pop star Conor and reality star Charlotte met at a boozy night out and were introduced by the show’s winner, Harry Clarke, the boyfriend of Conor’s younger sister. Appearing on Tuesday’s Loose Women, Charlotte, 32, opened up about her pregnancy as she revealed that she is doing it completely alone after Conor reportedly made it clear that he did not want to be apart of their baby’s life.

    Speaking to the Loose Women panel, mum-to-be Charlotte revealed her unborn baby’s name as Penelope as she detailed the advances she has made to Conor, which have reportedly been ignored by the singer. Charlotte revealed that she has been in touch with Conor, but he has failed to respond, which has left Charlotte in a dark place mentally.

    “I’m always torn with what’s best for the baby. For me and my mental health, and the damage that Conor has done to me, I absolutely wouldn’t want him in my life. But, I’m an adult and I understand what I’ve entered into here and if that’s how it has to be then I have to suck it up and put her first,” Charlotte told the Loose Women panel.

    She continued: “I would like it for her at some point in her life, but I don’t think there’s really much point at this stage, but in the future maybe – that might be nice for her. But it’s got to be all Penelope’s decision.”

    It comes after Charlotte recently posted a message on Instagram in which she made claims about Conor. She wrote: “I just wanted to thank all the kind wishes… it has been hard speaking again because last time I thought I was alone but to find out he has more hidden children out there that he has done this to other women made me think I will speak, for the scared women…”

    The Traitors star continued: “For some, I may be irritating but I think unless you have been in these shoes like me and these others it’s hard to understand. Anyway thank you for my loyal followers and for the women who have been courageous enough to speak to me.”

    The reality star said that she feared she would miscarry her miracle baby and had been placed on bed rest by her doctors. “It was so stressful that doctors twice put me on bed rest. I thought I was going to miscarry,” she said. Charlotte went on to claim that since falling pregnant she had felt “abandoned and alone”.

    The relationship between Charlotte and Conor has deteriorated since she fell pregnant and speaking to The Sun, she said: “He told me, ‘I’m not ready to be a dad. It’s nothing against you, Charlotte, but even if we’d been together three years, I would be the exact same. I do not want to have a child. That’s why I haven’t got a dog’.”

    Charlotte has claimed that he only wanted her to reach out to him if his paternity was going to be revealed in public. The Traitors star shared: “He told me, ‘This is your miracle baby. It is not mine’. He ended the text, ‘Hope you’re all good, Charlotte x’.”

    Charlotte went on to speak about her previous miscarriages and her thoughts on her pregnancy: “After seven miscarriages over my 20s, failed Insemination, failed IVF I was told It probably won’t happen for you. These words for a lot of women, are the words you never want to hear! Yet someone decided I deserved a wish answering and I am now going to have my own little miracle. It was a rough start (never knew sickness could be so bad) but I’m starting to feel normal again!! I wanted to share this with all my family, friends and #thetraitors fan base!! It’s been a shock, to say the least but the most welcomed surprise ever!!”

  • Royal Shock: King Charles III Strips Camilla of Queen Consort Title and the shocking truth about the royal betrayal conspiracy.

    Royal Shock: King Charles III Strips Camilla of Queen Consort Title and the shocking truth about the royal betrayal conspiracy.

    The Royal Palace was thrown into turmoil today with a bombshell announcement from King Charles III.

    In a surprising turn of events, the King has officially revoked the title of Queen Consort from his wife, Camilla.

    Addressing the nation in a televised speech, King Charles solemnly declared that Camilla’s status as Queen had been revoked, and she would now be known simply as the Duchess of Cornwall.

    “It is with a heavy heart that I must convey to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms my decision to withdraw the title of Queen from my wife, Camilla,” the King announced gravely.

    Following extensive contemplation and prayer, I have come to the conclusion that it is in the best interests of both the monarchy and the nation that she steps down from this role.”

    The King further elaborated that Camilla had concurred with his resolution.

    Acknowledging her controversial past, the Duchess herself acknowledged that the monarchy would benefit from a new Queen Consort whose reputation is unblemished, as stated by Charles.

    Notably, no successor to Camilla in the position was disclosed during the announcement.

    The news reverberated throughout the British establishment and the global stage, catching many off guard.

    Camilla had been widely anticipated to ascend to the role of Queen Consort upon King Charles’ assumption of the throne following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

    The removal of Camilla from this position marks an unprecedented event in contemporary royal history.

    Various royal experts swiftly offered conjecture on the rationale behind the King’s abrupt decision.

    Some alluded to lingering tensions stemming from Camilla’s prior involvement with Charles while he was married to the revered Princess Diana.

    Despite concerted efforts to rehabilitate Camilla’s public image over the years, it appears that wounds from that era have not entirely healed.

    Other speculations hinted at potential pressures exerted on Charles by members of the royal family or governmental influences to distance the monarchy from Camilla.

    Unverified rumors even circulated suggesting the King had received intelligence regarding a scandal or impropriety involving the Duchess.

    Buckingham Palace refrained from providing specific details but released a brief statement affirming the King’s decision was made with a heavy heart and received full support from Camilla.

    The sudden reversal of fortune for Camilla, who seemed poised for an elevated role within the royal family, has sparked discussions about the future of the monarchy.

    As the dust settles, attention shifts to how King Charles III will navigate this unforeseen crisis.

    The upcoming period will be pivotal in determining whether this significant alteration in the royal hierarchy will fortify or weaken the monarchy’s standing domestically and internationally.

    In the wake of these developments, the world watches intently as the British crown faces an uncertain future.

    The House of Windsor demonstrates once more that even the most enduring institutions are susceptible to transformation and upheaval.

    The narrative of the monarchy’s evolution hangs in the balance, leaving observers eager to witness the unfolding chapters of this royal saga.

    The Brentford footballer showed off his tattooed physique in a white tank top and grey shorts as he flicked his leg behind him modelling the eccentric £354 boots.

    Sporting a backwards black baseball cap, Romeo crossed his arms as he faced away from the camera while posing in his brother Cruz’s bedroom.

    It comes after his mum Victoria ditched her signature heels to pose in the same yellow cartoonish oversized boots last year.

    Posh Spice let the shoes do all the talking as she kept the rest of her outfit simple in a black midi dress.

    Victoria appeared in her element as she posed up a storm for the camera in the eccentric boot which have also been modelled by Paris Hilton.

    The yellow Crocs are a collaboration with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF – pronounced mischief – following the release of their cartoonish Big Red Boots last year.

    In another snap on Wednesday, Romeo wrap his arm around sister Harper as they posed for an Instagram together.

    He cut a cool figure in a grey oversized T-shirt which he teamed with blue denim jeans while the youngest of the Beckham clan donned a black crop top and jeans.

    Romeo simply added a white heart emoji for the caption.

    The footballer seemed in good spirits as he also shared a photo with dad David and friends while playing paddle in Miami.

    The father and son coordinated their sport outfits as they both donned blue Adidas shorts with a tank top and white baseball caps.

    Back in 2021, Victoria was in hysterics when singer Justin Bieber gifted her a pair of $60 Crocs – the divisive footwear once widely panned by the fashion industry.

    Posh Spice told her followers: ‘Okay, this is so kind of Justin to send me some Crocs, errm I’ve never worn a pair of Crocs!

    ‘They did make me laugh. It is the thought that counts – thank you so much! I’m not quite so sure what to say about this, but thank you. It’s very sweet!’

    She then set a poll for 28.9 million followers, asking: ‘Will I be wearing lilac Crocs?!’, to which the response was tight, with only 57 percent answering no.

    ‘Will I be wearing lilac crocs?!’ she wrote. ‘Well that was close, I think I’d rather die but thank you anyway @justinbieber.’

    Crocs are the marmite of the fashion world, with many fans at first teasing Justin when he followed in the footsteps of rapper Post Malone by announcing his collaboration with the brand.

    Despite the ribbing, Justin’s limited-edition Crocs sold out in just 90 minutes when they launched in October last year, causing such a frenzy of excitement among fans that the brand’s website actually crashed under the weight of the demand for the clogs.

  • David Beckham fans baffled as he ‘shows off his BMX skills’ at the Olympics – but all is not as it seems!

    David Beckham fans baffled as he ‘shows off his BMX skills’ at the Olympics – but all is not as it seems!

    David Beckham fans have been left baffled as he seemingly appeared at the Olympics showing his BMX skills – but all is not as it seems.

    TikTok video has circulated online apparently showing the football ace, 49, performing a plethora of impressive tricks on a BMX bike in front of impressed crowds at the Paris Olympics.

    Dressed in a fitted white T-shirt, black jeans and trainers, the hunk left spectators open-mouthed as he pulled off the skillful stunts before smiling and waving to everyone.

    However, it seems that David Beckham hasn’t showcased a previously unseen talent as the man in question is simply a lookalike.

    In fact, the BMX ace is French-born pro rider Alex Jumelin, who was reportedly tasked with entertaining spectators over 12 days.

    A TikTok video has circulated online apparently showing the football ace, 49, performing a plethora of impressive tricks on a BMX bike in front of impressed crowds at the Paris Olympics.

    And it’s easy to see why the doppelganger confused fans as he bears an uncanny resemblance to Victoria Beckham‘s husband, with his spiky hair, beard and sleeve of tattoos.

    Taking to the comments, followers who were unaware of the cyclist’s real identity were quick to share their admiration for his skills.

    They penned: ‘Unbelievable he has a secret skill’; ‘That’s David Bikem.’

    ‘Multi talented’; ’tis dude is the best at everything :)’; ‘My hero’.

    ‘He is almost 50 years old omg’; ‘And this is at the age of 49.’

    While David may bot have been showing off his BMX skills, he has been busy spending time with his family – though at the expense of his wife Victoria.

    The Spice Girl was left red-faced after she was pranked by her family in a hilarious TikTok last week.

    Victoria, 50, was joined by her husband David, children Romeo and Harper and a friend as they attempted their version of the ‘Just Give Me My Money’ viral social media trend.

    After each person delivers it the others then congratulate them with a round of applause and whooping.

    However, after the last person delivers the line, the others purposefully remain silent and exchange awkward glances, and in this case Victoria was the one left in the dark.

    After Victoria exclaimed ‘Give me my money’ she was left red faced as her family remained silent and they burst out laughing after making her the butt of the joke.

    Apologising to his mum in the caption, Romeo wrote: ‘Sorry mum’ with a series of laughing emoji faces.

    David Beckham Cops Huge Backlash For Referring To The England Women’s Team As ‘Girls’

    David Beckham is facing a huge backlash after referring to the England Lionesses as ‘girls’.

    The Lionesses beat the host nation Australia in the semi-finals of the World Cup – making them the first senior England side to reach a World Cup final since 1966.

    This match saw a number of celebrities wish the team luck and congratulate them on social media.

    However, Beckham’s message has seen him receive a wave of backlash.

    In the clip, the former England captain says: “Hey girls!

    “I just wanted to say, wow. What a tournament it’s been so far. It’s been so much fun to watch and we’re all so proud as a nation of what you’ve achieved already.

    “Seeing you girls play as a team, it’s been really incredible. So continue to do so, good luck in this next game, and just know that our whole nation is behind you, as always. And good luck.”

    Beckham’s daughter, Harper, also makes an appearance and wishes the team good luck before the 48-year-old finishes his message.

    He adds:  “Keep inspiring these girls because it’s incredible to watch, and I am very, very happy that you’re doing it for this one.”

    “Good luck, girls!”

    While the message had good intentions, it seems that people have a problem with Beckham addressing the women’s team as ‘girls’.

    “Next step: call us WOMEN not girls once we’re adults, please!” writes one person.

    Another person adds: “Why girls?? They are women out there!!!”

    “It’s WOMEN not girls,” slams a third viewer.

    Someone else adds: “They’re women David. Women!”

    However, some are defending the former Manchester United player.

    Someone explains: “People in the comments kicking off that he called them ‘girls’.

    “Not being funny, but not once watching the team have I shouted ‘come on women’ It’s always ‘come on girls’ [or] ‘let’s go girls’.

    “Same as when I watch the men’s team… I never shout ‘come on men’.”

    Another person agrees, saying: “‘Come on boys or come on lads’ is a common term for the men’s national team.

    “Same thing. Do you hear anyone getting offended by that? Absolutely not! Non-story. Come on England!”

    A third person comments: “I’m amazed reading the negative comments from people instead of appreciating his well wishes.”

    England will be playing Spain in the final of the Women’s World Cup on Sunday August 20. If they win, they will become the first England team since 1966 to win a World Cup.

    The Manchester United legend, 48, has been in the news lately following the launch of his highly anticipated documentary on the streaming service.

    Beckham gives fans an insight into his illustrious successful playing career and his marriage to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham – which thrust them both into the spotlight.

    Since dropping, it has been met with critical praise from fans and critics.

    But viewers have been left baffled by one aspect of the documentary… Beckham’s voice.

    Despite being one of the world’s most recognisable sporting stars, not many people have actually heard the Inter Miami owner’s voice before.

    Reacting on social media, viewers shared their shock and disbelief at how he sounds.

    “I just heard David Beckham’s voice for the first time. Man, that did not match up with what I always imagined,” writes one person.

    Someone else comments: “I don’t know what I thought David Beckham’s voice sounded like but it wasn’t this.”

    Another viewer writes: “My husband always said ‘god really gave such good looks to David Beckham to compensate for his voice’. After watching this video, I just had to agree.”

    A fourth person adds: “Is anyone else still so shocked to hear the voice that comes out when David Beckham speaks? I don’t know what I thought he sounded like but it’s not that.”

    While a fifth viewer pens: “It always surprises me the way David Beckham’s voice doesn’t match his face.”

    Beckham is directed by Fisher Stevens – who is best known for working on the Emmy award-winning series Succession – and the former Real Madrid midfielder knew that he would be the perfect man to work on his documentary as he could ‘tell his story in a different way’.

    Speaking to Netflix’s Skip Intro podcast, Beckham explained that he always intended to make a life documentary and felt this year was ideal as it has been 10 years since he retired from playing football.

    He explained: “This is such a personal thing to me, and when I sat down with my team and said, ‘OK, this is what we’re going to do, and this is how we’re going to do it’. it was really important that we got the right director.

    “So I kept on looking and asking people, and I’ve got a couple of people and close friends that are in the movie business, in the documentary world, and one of my closest friends turned around to me and said, ‘Fisher Stevens, that’s the guy’.”

    In addition to Beckham’s family talking in the documentary, some huge names who had significant impacts on his life also appear – including former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, former teammates Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Rio Ferdinand, and Victoria’s bandmate Mel C.

    David and Victoria Beckham have finally addressed the former England captain’s alleged affair with Rebecca Loos.

    The former Manchester United star, 48, began dating the ex-Spice Girls singer, 49, in 1997 and they tied the knot in 1999.

    They share four children – Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 18, and Harper, 12.

    In his new documentary with Netflix – titled Beckham – David opens up about the time the couple’s marriage was under enormous pressure.

    David was accused of having an affair with Dutch model Rebecca Loos while playing for Real Madrid in 2003.

    The Beckhams have always denied claims of an affair. But the couple have now opened up about battling to save their relationship.

    Loos became Beckham’s personal assistant after he moved to Real Madrid in 2003, however, a few months later her contract was terminated.

    Subsequently, she gave an interview to News of the World, in which she claimed to have had an affair with the Inter Miami owner while he was married to Victoria.

    In extracts from the documentary obtained by The Sun, Posh Spice emotionally explained how the allegations had an impact on their marriage.

    “It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us,” she shared.

    “Here’s the thing – we were against each other if I’m being completely honest.

    “You know, up until Madrid sometimes it felt like us against everybody else but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.

    “But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either.

    “And that’s sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare.

    “It was an absolute circus – and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town right? Unless you’re in it.”

    The fashion designer was then asked if she ‘resented’ her husband, to which she replied: “If I’m being totally honest, yes I did. It was the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life.”

    She added that she ‘internalised’ her trauma and struggles as she wanted to focus on supporting her husband in his career.

    According to The Sun, the woman Beckham was accused of having an affair with is not named in the documentary.

    The Champions League-winning midfielder also addressed the reports, citing this moment as the first time they had been put under pressure in their marriage.

    David described that it didn’t feel like they were ‘losing’ their relationship, but that they were ‘drowning’.

    Beckham explained: “Victoria is everything to me. To see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters. We needed to fight for each other and for our family. What we had was worth fighting for.

    “But ultimately it’s our private life. There were some days I thought, ‘How am I going to go to work? How am I going to go on that training pitch and look as if nothing is wrong?’.

    “I felt physically sick every day when I opened my eyes. How am I going to do this?”

    He also admitted that he found it difficult adapting to Spanish life after leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid and mentioned that Victoria staying in London early on in his move was a factor in his loneliness.
