Loose Women panellist Judi Love has opened up about her relationship with her ITV co-stars and spilled on who her ‘real’ friends are, amid claims they are caught up in a ‘feud’

Judi Love has hit out at claims the Loose Women panellists are caught up in a “feud” as she insisted they are all “absolutely lovely”.

The 42-year-old TV star was forced to speak out following reports of infighting between the ITV hosts.

Judi said the panellists were like a “sisterhood” as she opened up about who her “real” friends are.

During an appearance on Saturday Kitchen, the comedian was asked by host Matt Tebutt for the truth about the rumours. She replied: “What do you want? The juice.”

Judi then added: “No no, we’re absolutely lovely. Look I’m working with 20 women who all have expertise in different areas – journalism, news reporting, and acting. They are forces to be reckoned with.”

She continued: “I find that anything I need advice in, anything – I’m talking buying houses, all kind of different stuff – I can just go to any one of them and they’ve got some understanding and can educate me on things.”

When asked which of the panellists she would consider her friends, Judi named Charlene White, Brenda Edwards, Jane Moore and Nadia Sawalha.

“I think it’s great. They’ve added to it, and now they’ve got a comedian in the pool, I love it, what better job than to go in, have a chit-chat with the girls, and get your make-up on,” Judie said.

Judi isn’t the first Loose Women panellist to comment on the feud rumours.

Back in February, Nadia slammed the claims and admitted she actually has an “intense” relationship with her co-stars.

The 58-year-old TV host said they all get on “so, so well” behind the scenes, but agreed things can seem “a bit heated” when they’re on the daytime show.

“There is no feud – I think it’s that thing where people always expect women must be arguing, we honestly get on so well,” she said.

Nadia Sawalha has also spoken out about the claims (

The actress insisted that she loves being part of the Loose Women panel and said it’s nice to form “intense relationships” with her co-stars.

“I have great friends and I just love my job so much, I always say they have to take me out in a box in Loose Women,” Nadia told The Sun.

The soccer star opened up about the experience on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on Wednesday, May 8

David Beckham was just as surprised about the Spice Girls reuniting as everyone else.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, May 8, the soccer star, 49, opened up about the girl group — consisting of Melanie “Mel B” Brown, Melanie “Mel C” Chisolm, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell Horner and Victoria Beckham — reuniting at Victoria’s 50th birthday last month.

David specified that he actually put his wife’s birthday celebration together before host Jimmy Kimmel asked how long it had been since the Spice Girls sang together.

Spice Girls Reunite to Perform ‘Stop’ Dance at Victoria Beckham’s 50th Birthday Party — See the Video!

“It’s actually been 12 years since they did the Olympics in the U.K. but over 15 years since they actually were on a stage together. So obviously having them all there that night, and I didn’t expect them to all get up on stage,” he said of the event.

David continued: “But I had a whole video planned where me and my kids recreated the ‘Mama’ video. My son, who plays the guitar and sings, had a song, and he sang ‘Mama,’ and all of a sudden all the girls got up — and I’m their biggest fan, you know? I tend not to tell my wife that. I tend to tell her that I fancied her, but she was a Spice Girl. I love that about her… So I was a fan.”

On Saturday, April 20, the fashion designer marked her milestone birthday with a star-studded bash in London.

Following the festivities, her son Cruz Beckham gave fans a glimpse at his mother’s band teaming up again at the get-together to sing their 1996 hit “Mama” while he played the acoustic guitar.

“You’re welcome….” he captioned the Instagram post.

“Are we in tune? I’m not sure we are!” Mel B told the audience, while guests cheered.

Spice Girls Perform ‘Mama’ in Previously Unseen Video from Victoria Beckham’s 50th Birthday Party

Later in the evening, the Spice Girls danced along to their 1997 single “Stop,” as seen in a clip shot by David and shared by Victoria on Instagram.

“Best night ever! Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much! #SpiceUpYourLife,” she captioned the video.

“I mean come on x @victoriabeckham @melaniecmusic @officialmelb @emmaleebunton @gerihalliwellhorner 💚💛🧡💜💙🩵🩷🤍,” David wrote alongside the same clip.

Since their split in 2001, the Spice Girls have remained friends and reunited for a reunion tour in 2019, without Victoria.

Victoria and David Beckham don’t do anything casually. Case in point: their Instagram posts celebrating their 25th anniversary.

The couple, who got married on July 4, 1999, shared separate heartfelt posts to one another on July 4. Victoria, 50, shared a series of photos from the couple’s wedding celebrations and prep all those years ago. In her Instagram caption, she detailed what all the images showcased — with cheeky comments.

The former Spice Girl’s post began with a sweet photo of her and her then husband-to-be as they gave their reception thrones a whirl. In another photo, Victoria is seen beaming widely for the camera as she sits on the throne ahead of the wedding. She also shared a couple of photos documenting how they transported the luxe chairs via plane to the celebration.

“@DavidBeckham and I testing our iconic thrones for size,” she wrote in the caption. “Clearly, I loved mine from the start!

The fashion designer also shared a sweet photo taken on a private plane when their now 25-year-old Brooklyn was still small enough to sit on his dad’s lap. In the snap, David, 49, his mother Sandra and Victoria’s brother and sister, Christian and Louise, are all onboard as well.

“Flying in style,” she wrote. “Plenty of leg room as you can see 😂.”

She also shared a cheeky photo of David sitting shirtless at a kitchen table, writing his vows on a notepad, and she joked in the caption that he was “looking very concentrated!”

The carousel continued with photos of Victoria in her dress fittings, including her Vera Wang satin, strapless corseted ballgown and her iconic purple reception dress.

Along with sharing photos preparing for their big day, she included a snapshot of the couple’s wedding cake.

“Who could forget that cake and those naked fondant toppers?! 🤣,” she wrote in the caption.

David shared his own celebratory post, including a montage of photos from their wedding reception. He also included in a clip of Victoria fitting into her purple dress 25 years later.

“We still got it 💜 😆 @victoriabeckham Love You 💜,” he wrote in the caption.

In addition to sharing the video, he posted a series of Instagram Stories commemorating the day, showing off the couple’s preparation for the wedding, along with their son Brooklyn’s prep.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham’s Wedding: A Look Back at Their 1999 Nuptials

These posts follow the already epic post that the couple shared on July 3 where the two of them slipped back into their iconic purple wedding reception outfits for an Instagram post.

“Look what we found…” the couple wrote on Instagram.

It’s hard to say whether or not it’s the original outfits, but the bold purple suit and body-hugging dress with floral accents look exactly the same as the Antonio Berardi looks that they rocked for their big day in 1999.

To modernize the looks for their 25th anniversary, Victoria wore silver stilettos that laced up her calves and wore her long brown hair down — a contrast to her short haircut from her wedding day.

David, on the other hand, is rocking many more tattoos in his updated photo — and far fewer highlights. Other than that, his styling is quite similar. He completed his suit with matching purple shoes and an affectionate look for his wife.

The couple, who share four children, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 25, Romeo Beckham, 21, Cruz Beckham, 19, and Harper Beckham, 12, originally met at a football match (when David was playing for Manchester United and Victoria was still Posh Spice), got engaged a year later and wed in 1999 in Ireland.

During a May 2024 appearance on Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett’s SmartLess podcast, David shared the secret to his long marriage: leaning on each other through the good and bad.

“Of course, when you’re with someone for that amount of time, of course you have your ups and downs, everybody knows that and at the end of the day we were lucky because we had each other at those moments,” he said.

THEY say a picture speaks a thousand words – but in Brooklyn Beckham’s case, it’s more of a mumble.

David and Victoria’s eldest son will release a glossy book of photos he has snapped during his privileged life. It’s just a shame so few of the shots are actually in focus.

Sun royal photographer Arthur Edwards said: “None of these pictures is sharp and many are badly lit.

“It’s a bit early to start releasing books when you have not mastered the basic skills.”

Some snaps do, however, offer a fascinating insight. Who knew, for instance, that sour-puss Victoria was a fan of fishing?

Brooklyn, who celebrated the launch at London auction house Christie’s, says he was given his first camera by dad David when he was finding school “frustrating”. And he reveals that taking pictures soon became his “obsession”.

An early look at his images shows there is still room to turn his hobby into an art form.

Here, TABISH KHAN, 34, art critic for culture blog Londonist, casts an expert eye over Brooklyn’s efforts.

Brooklyn says: FAMILY salmon fishing. My brother Cruz was the best but I didn’t catch anything – annoying but still fun.

Tabish says: AN attempt to show a more everyday side to his mum – fishing rather than at a glamorous party. However, the use of black and white aims at a timeless quality that contradicts this effect.

Brooklyn says: DINNER. I like this picture – it’s out of focus but you can tell there’s a lot going on.

Tabish says: THE fact this shot is out of focus is more user error than a deliberate style choice. On the plus side, Brooklyn is only 18 and there’s clearly a lot of room for improvement.

Tabish says: THE constant use of black and white is confusing. Surely a sun lounger next to a pool would look much better in colour, capturing all the brightness in this scene.

It feels like a failed attempt to give a sense of mood. By releasing a book of photos rather than a celebrity aftershave, maybe some of his many fans will be inspired to take up photography seriously.

And if one fan manages to create great images as a result, then there could be a happy ending after all.

Brooklyn says: ELEPHANTS in Kenya. So hard to photograph but incredible to see.

Tabish says: BROOKLYN’S caption that elephants are “so hard to photograph” suggests he couldn’t get his settings right – rather than that he was aiming for a silhouette effect.

It makes the elephant seem threatening when we should be revelling in its beauty.

11

Fans will be interested to see Brooklyn’s dress senseCredit: Penguin / Random House / Brooklyn Beckham
Tabish says: FANS are probably mostly interested in Brooklyn’s dress sense.

But the fact his bankable face is not visible feels like an attempt to make him seem more relatable and anonymous – even if he is on a private jet.

Hundreds of quality fine art photographers will never get a book deal – and they would still struggle to sell anywhere near what this book will amass.

Tabish says: FINE for Snapchat, but to be taken seriously as an art photographer, Brooklyn clearly has some way to go.

But let’s face it – nobody wants this book because of the quality of the images.

His loyal followers just want to own a piece of his life.

BROOKLYN Beckham looked a little unsteady on his feet as he left the star-studded Serpentine Gallery Summer Party last night.

The photographer, 18, has just released his first collection of photographs and appeared to celebrate the launch in some style at the annual bash.

The teen wore a brown suede jacket and dark jeans to the prestigious party which was attended by the likes of Guy Ritchie, Rita Ora and Dame Shirley Bassey.

He nearly tumbled backwards as he navigated the crowd on his way out of the event, tilting as he stepped down a curb.

Accompanied by a suave minder, Brooklyn raised his hand to his head as he walked through the night.

Earlier in the night Brooklyn smiled as he pulled on his jacket, before posing for pictures including one with Yana Peel.

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Brooklyn’s debut book What I See, but as images leaked online, many Twitter users were less than impressed.

One snap captures a dinner party completely out of focus – you can’t see who’s there or what’s happening. Ironically, he says “you can tell there’s lots going on.”

While another simply added: “I’m dying.”

VICTORIA BECKHAM took one look at David and all hell broke loose.

The fashion designer had just arrived at Glastonbury by helicopter but her husband was in danger of getting into a “complete state”, according to close friends, after two days of boozing and fun.

Son Brooklyn, 18, who is more like a best friend to David, 42, these days because of their endearingly close relationship, was quickly brought in to play peacemaker.

He fetched water for David before they went side of stage to watch their close friend Ed Sheeran in front of the cameras.

Sure enough, much to Victoria’s horror, a clip soon went viral of David looking worse for wear.

David’s “lost weekend” at Worthy Farm illustrates the growing gulf between the troubled couple.

They remain passionate about the enduring success of Brand Beckham and are bringing their children into the family business, now worth £520million.

But Victoria, 43, is becoming increasingly uncomfortable with David’s party lifestyle — despite the fact he is making more money through his various business interests than he did playing football.

The former Posh Spice has become frustrated with Becks’ best friend Dave Gardner — fiancé of US actress Liv Tyler — who she thinks is not always a positive influence. And she doesn’t like him partying with glamorous female friends including Alexa Chung and also Poppy Delevingne, who he starred with on pal Guy Ritchie’s flop 2017 movie King Arthur.

Just like she had skipped Ritchie’s wedding in July 2015, Victoria did not attend the King Arthur premiere in May this year, where David partied late into the night after making his acting debut.

A showbiz insider reveals: “Victoria is working harder than ever and is incredibly focused on running a business and being a working mother. David has never had more time on his hands, despite his very successful business. He’s a doting dad and spends so much time with his kids.

“But he still hasn’t got used to life without the routine of professional football. Quite frankly, he’s bored. That has led to a lot of partying and big nights out with friends like Dave, Alexa and Poppy, which Victoria doesn’t like.”

A friend of the couple said David hangs out with a different crowd when not with Victoria. The pal says: “It’s no secret she is not a fan of many of David’s friends.

“It’s not just Dave, Alexa and Poppy. In the past she’s had an issue with Jason Statham and his partner Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, as well as Charlize Theron.

“David has a different crowd that he’ll go out with when he knows Victoria isn’t on the scene. Of course he wouldn’t mind if she decided to come out with them all. But it just doesn’t happen.”

The Sun first revealed serious pressures on the Beckham’s marriage in September, 2015. We told how they had started to live increasingly separate lives after Posh missed close pal Guy Ritchie’s wedding.

Posh has had tattoo tributes to Becks removed, including a message in Hebrew on her neck which read: “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”.

They also had a falling-out over eldest son Brooklyn’s determination to get a tattoo, which Posh now deems as tacky.

Since then, Brooklyn has had four inkings, the most recent addition from a session with David on Monday in Los Angeles.

But since our story, following the advice of Simon Fuller, the couple have decided to start using their massive social media following to present a constant image of being the perfect couple.

Every note or birthday present is shared on their Instagram story, where they both document every aspect of their lives.

He has 38.7million followers on the social media site, while she has 16.4million — a combination they feel is more powerful than traditional media channels.

For example, on their 18th wedding anniversary earlier this month he wrote: “Wow, we really did this. Happy Anniversary to an amazing wife, mummy and strong businesswoman.” She replied: “I love you. Kisses x”. But the desire to share every aspect of their personal life has resulted in some embarrassing PR disasters.

Earlier this month the former England skipper brought attention to a tea party held at Buckingham Palace to mark daughter Harper’s sixth birthday.

He posted a series of pictures of Harper, some of her in a Cinderella dress, in the grounds of the Queen’s residence on the day of her birthday. It sparked accusations from parents that he was flaunting “special privileges” denied to ordinary families.

The pictures also upset the private fashion designer Stella McCartney, whose daughter Reiley Willis was seen posing alongside Harper at the bash, organised by the Duchess of York.

The snaps on royal grounds were particularly embarrassing for David because they were posted just months after his desperate bid for a knighthood was revealed in leaked emails — dubbed Beckileaks. He allegedly labelled the honours committee a “bunch of c***s” after being snubbed — and called the decision to award Katherine Jenkins an OBE a “f***ing joke” in messages with his advisers, which were revealed in February.

David’s playboy lifestyle has grown since he retired from football in 2013 — but he remains a massively successful business force bankrolling Victoria’s fashion empire.

Now you see it…

Indeed, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid ace earns more money now than in his playing days.

A source close to Becks said: “David’s business empire is a monster.

“Retiring from football has not had a negative effect on his brand, it’s the total opposite.

“He is now free to put more time and effort into his commitments, which means travelling to all corners of the world.

“And he’s doing this to look after his family and aid Victoria’s ambition to rule the fashion world.” David is a part-owner across five brands, while he continues to endorse sportswear giant Adidas.

His commitment to his brands, particularly Haig Club whisky, has seen him work in glamourous locations including Miami, where he he was pictured filming a commercial surrounded by models on a £30million yacht in April last year.

While Victoria has focused on her design career, mainly in London but with hops to Paris, LA and East Asia, David has been on dozens of lads’ holidays with pal Gardner and bonding trips with Brooklyn in LA.

Their last family holiday was to Canada in February, on a ski trip to celebrate one of her fashion launches.

David’s solo jetset lifestyle has seen him over the past six months visit Madrid, Geneva, Shanghai and Paris, plus enjoy an African safari with the kids, while in May he appeared at the star-studded Cannes AmfAR gala without his wife.

He spent April in LA, only to return to join Victoria at Buckingham Palace to pick up her OBE.

He returned there for Harper’s birthday this month. While Victoria is increasingly committed full-time to her fashion work, working ungodly hours with her tight-knit team of staff, David has taken on a primary parenting role.

He is currently on an American motorcycling road trip with the children, which he is documenting on his Instagram story.

Despite warnings from friends and advisers, the couple have decided to transform into a  showbiz family, with their four  offspring now involved in the family business.

Their children have already been launched into the showbiz world, with Brooklyn releasing his  first photography book earlier this year.

Romeo, 14, made his debut as a model for Burberry in 2012 aged just ten, while Cruz, 12, launched a music career in December with his festive charity single If Every Day Was Christmas.

Their only daughter, youngest child Harper, six, has also been lined up for the limelight with training from the English National Ballet and regular sessions at prestigious stage school the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.

A friend added: “Victoria and David might be growing apart in many ways, but they know the power of Brand Beckham has never been stronger.”

The world was captivated when the news broke – Queen Elizabeth II’s will had been released to the public, unveiling the details of her vast estate worth over $500 million.

As the dust settled on the historic transition of power, one aspect of the Queen’s final wishes stood out, sparking a flurry of speculation and intrigue: the bestowal of new royal titles upon several family members, with the notable exception of one prominent figure – Prince Harry.

In the wake of the Queen’s passing, her eldest son, Prince William, was elevated to the prestigious role of the Prince of Wales, a title that had long been associated with the heir to the British throne. This move was widely expected and celebrated as a natural progression, solidifying William’s position as the future King of the United Kingdom.

The Queen’s inheritance has offered a revealing glimpse into the enduring ties and lingering tensions within the royal family.

The world was captivated when Queen Elizabeth II’s will was released, unveiling details of her vast estate, worth over $500 million. One aspect of the Queen’s final wishes that sparked significant speculation and intrigue was the bestowal of new royal titles upon several family members, with the notable exception of Prince Harry.

Following the Queen’s passing, her eldest son, Prince William, was elevated to the prestigious role of the Prince of Wales, a title traditionally associated with the heir to the British throne.

This move was widely expected and celebrated as a natural progression, solidifying William’s position as the future King of the United Kingdom. However, the lack of a similar honor for Prince Harry drew the most attention and fueled ongoing tensions within the royal family.

Despite being a senior member of the royal household, Harry remained the Duke of Sussex, a title he had held since his marriage to Meghan Markle in 2018. The absence of a new dukedom or other elevated designation for Harry did not go unnoticed, and reactions at the Queen’s funeral amplified the underlying discord. Footage from the solemn ceremony captured a visibly agitated Harry, starkly contrasting the composed demeanor of his brother William and other royals who appeared to be gracefully accepting their new roles and responsibilities.

The apparent rift between Harry and the rest of the royal family seems to stem from the complex and tumultuous relationship that had developed in recent years. Since Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from their royal duties and relocate to the United States, Harry found himself increasingly at odds with the traditional power structures of the monarchy. The lack of a new title for Harry was seen by many as a tangible manifestation of ongoing tensions and a symbolic gesture of the royal family’s continued displeasure with his decision to forge his own path.

The Queen’s final wishes were not simply a matter of political maneuvering or personal preference; they were the culmination of a lifetime of carefully cultivated relationships. The decision to elevate William to the role of Prince of Wales while leaving Harry’s title unchanged has been interpreted as a deliberate move to solidify the line of succession and reinforce the idea of a united, cohesive monarchy—one that Harry, in the eyes of the institution, has chosen to distance himself from.

Yet, it is essential to recognize that the Queen’s will reflects the intricate web of traditions and protocols that have shaped the royal family for generations. The release of the Queen’s will has served as a window into the complex balance that the monarchy must strike between honoring the past and navigating the challenges of the present. It reminds us that the royal family, despite its grandeur and global influence, is not immune to the same dynamics that shape families worldwide—the bonds of love and loyalty, the weight of tradition, and the occasional rifts that test the strength of those ties.

Ultimately, the Queen’s will and the subsequent reactions serve as a poignant reminder that even in the face of monumental change, the royal family remains a tapestry of intricate relationships—a living embodiment of Britain’s storied past and a symbol of the enduring strength and resilience that has defined the monarchy for centuries.

Proof Needed! Meghan Markel in Panic Mode as King Charles Questions Archie and Lilibet’s Existence

According to a report by Hello magazine, there is speculation that King Charles may invite Prince Harry and his family for his 75th birthday celebrations, potentially reuniting with Archie and Lilibet.
The article suggests that similar to his 70th birthday in 2018, King Charles could extend an invitation to the California-based couple and their children. However, fans of the royal family believe that the Sussexes may not be invited, considering they were not invited to Trooping the Colour this year.

In a surprising move, King Charles has raised concerns and demanded proof regarding the existence and whereabouts of Archie and Lilibet. As the yearly royal tradition unfolds, Megan is now in a state of panic, desperately trying to present evidence of their children to the king.

This scandal surrounding their parenthood claims has put the unity of the royal family in jeopardy, casting a shadow over the traditional gathering.

Caught in the midst of King Charles’s relentless pursuit of answers, Megan finds herself in a precarious situation. She faces the daunting task of providing evidence of her children’s existence to the monarch and may resort to desperate measures, potentially involving the creation of fabricated appearances to maintain the illusion.

The controversy surrounding Harry and Megan’s parenthood claims has reached unprecedented heights, turning what was once an annual time of celebration and unity into a battleground of truth and deception.

The strain on family dynamics within the royal household is palpable as King Charles’s insistence on uncovering the truth further deepens the fractures that exist within the family. This ongoing controversy exacerbates tensions and threatens to erode the already fragile relationships between Harry, Megan, and the rest of the monarchy.

David Beckham revealed that his viral comment to his wife, Victoria, to “be honest” in the Beckham documentary initially made the director angry.

Victoria started saying, “So, my dad…” before David cut in, “No, one answer. What car was it?”

After a bit of back and forth in which Victoria insisted, “It’s not a simple answer,” she eventually admitted, “OK, in the ‘80s my dad had a Rolls Royce.”

“Be honest” quickly became a meme, and the subject of a commercial the couple starred in for this year’s Super Bowl.

The viral Rolls-Royce conversation inspired UberEats Super Bowl ad starring the Beckhams.

“So David and I are gonna be in a little commercial,” Victoria said in the commercial.

David then poked his head into the room to say, “Be honest, be honest!”

The designer conceded, “OK. It’s a big commercial.”

David also referenced the documentary after joining Victoria and her parents for a meal on New Year’s Eve.

“Just a nice casual New Year’s Eve lunch at The Ritz ❤️ @victoriabeckham,” David captioned a family photo via Instagram. “Very working class 😂 My mother & father in law left in there [sic] Roll’s 🤎.”

Now as a result of the “Be honest” comment. Victoria is laughing all the way to the bank. She released a “My dad had a Rolls-Royce” T-shirt in November 2023, retailing for $150, and she wore the design in the UberEats commercial.

“Now who doesn’t love a slogan T-shirt? I do,” Victoria quipped while sporting the top in a TikTok video last fall. “And I have to say, my question for you all, what did your dad drive you to school in? My dad drove me, yes, in a Rolls-Royce.”

David Beckham has confessed he sparked an argument with the director of his Netflix documentary when he interrupted an interview with his wife.

The 49-year-old former footballer and his 50-year-old wife, Victoria Beckham.

Starred in a critically panned documentary series about their gilded lives that was streamed via Netflix last October.

The four-part docuseries saw cameras enter the home of the fame-hungry family – who are said to be worth more than £340 million.

A ‘viral’ moment was born when Victoria sat on her luxury sofa to describe her working class upbringing.

Only for Dave to interrupt from the side of the room to demand she “be honest” about her upbringing.

The Spice Girl was then shamed into confessing her father drove her to school in a Rolls Royce – suggesting her childhood had been far from ‘working class’.

But now David has revealed that his intervention sparked a furious exchange with documentary director Fisher Stevens.

He explained that the camera team and crew believed David had left the propriety so they could film with Victoria – only for him to eavesdrop on their conversation from the kitchen.

OK! Magazine claims The Hollywood Reporter recorded a round table discussion with David, Fisher.

Documentary producer Josh Battsek and editor Michael Harte to reflect on their time putting the series together. David then reportedly explained that he had been in the kitchen when Victoria started discussing her humble upbringing.

He is reported as saying: “I put the set headphones on and all of a sudden I heard my wife go, ‘Well, we’re down to earth’. And I was like, ‘No, no, no’. As soon as I heard her say ‘We’re working class’, I stuck my head in and I was like, ‘Be honest’.” He then claimed that Fisher was “very angry with me over that” at the time.

The director himself is then quoted defending his irritation, explaining: “David was supposedly out and she could be free to say what she wants. And then he showed up and I was quite upset. I was like, ‘Get him out of here’ – but it actually turned out to be brilliant. It worked out. Thank God the cameraman caught David, and then Michael, I did say ‘I think we have some gold’.”

While the Beckham documentary series was enjoyed by some fans and spawned some meme-worthy moments, it has been roundly slammed as a soulless and shallow TV experiment. Deadline slammed the show – as well as other recent celebrity fronted docu-sereies – writing: “These examples support the argument that such documentaries are nothing more than sanitised PR exercises for the celebrities involved, who invariably also appear in the credits as ‘executive producer’.”

And The Mirror’s own review accused the show of “whitewashing” the named “Rebecca Loos out of the story”, observed: “I would be amazed if one single shot or anecdote has made the cut here that the Beckhams did not want you to see or hear” – and branded the show as nothing more than “marketing guff”.
