We delight to inform you that the Nobody’s Child dress even has pockets

If there’s one wardrobe staple Loose Women’s Linda Robson loves, it’s a midi dress. One of her latest outfits comes from a celeb-loved fashion brand and is perfect for the summer months.

The 66-year-old hit the ITV talk show panel last week on June 13 wearing a Denim Blue Smock Rochelle Midi Dress from Nobody’s Child. It’s the ultimate throw-on-and-go piece that requires minimal effort for maximum impact, and has a ‘big bonus’ according to shoppers.

Priced at £75, the easy-dressing number is cut in a stylish smock shape with a tiered hem that falls to a midi length. With a height of 5’4”, Linda and her stylists are well aware that their calf-length hemlines flatter her petite frame, and this dress is no different.

 

While Linda’s dark indigo version is selling fast, it’s also available in a ‘sunshine-infused light blue wash’ with mid-length puff sleeves – another of the Loose Women star’s signature silhouettes. The oversized fit is perfect for anyone who is a little self conscious of their tum, disguising the waist without being shapeless. And fashion fans will no doubt be excited that it has pockets.

The dress, which is also sold at John Lewis, has received a number of five star reviews from shoppers, one of which said: “Bought this with a Personal Shopper – she was wearing it and gave me the confidence to try it too. It hangs really well and has generous side pockets (big bonus). Bit long for me (I’m 5’2″) but with a bit of a modification it’s fantastic. Will be wearing it on holiday in a couple months of weeks.”

Another added: “Nice soft fabric in beautiful colour. Perfect for spring/summer season.” While a third penned: “What a lovely feel and fitting dress. Can’t wait to wear it just need some Spring like weather soon.”

However, one person said it was ‘way too long’, commenting: “This dress is gorgeous and great quality- I like the structure and style. However- it was way too long on me- it was maxi length (I’m 5ft7) and would have needed to be altered to take a few inches off – so sadly I sent it back.”

We think this dress is perfect for styling with sandals and a straw bag this summer, but equally, sport some trainers so you can look chic on your errand runs.

Another high street midi dress Linda wore recently is the Black Floral Puff Sleeve Shift Midi Dress, from River Island. The £50 dress boasts a large patterned floral print with on trend puff sleeves, perfect for showing off her tan after coming back from a holiday.

Some of our favourites in recent weeks include this Bella Pink Textured Midi Dress from Phase Eight, and this Cos Oversized Grandad-Collar Shirt Dress. But if you’re heading on holiday or fancy a new outfit for your summer plans, you can buy her £75 Nobody’s Child dress here.

Loose Women panellist Judi Love is to front a new culinary travel show, Judi Love’s Culinary Cruise, for ITV later this year

Judi Love is swapping the Loose Women panel for a culinary cruise in a new ITV series. The 44 year old comedian said: “I am so excited to be setting sail on this new adventure with ITV. Growing up within a Jamaican family, food was always at the heart of any function and occasion.”

“So I’m truly excited to experience the culture, people and food of the beautiful Mediterranean.”

The Celebrity Gogglebox star will be seen tucking into local delicacies in Kotor in Montenegro, plus four Greek locations Parga, Kerkira, Kefalonia, and Itea.

She added: “I’m looking forward to exploring all of the different destinations as food has such a way of telling a story for many, especially in the Mediterranean where it’s about sharing love, traditions and identity.”

“I have always loved watching loved ones cook and I truly love serving up a hearty plate of food for my family and friends. So I’m thrilled to be able to embrace this with ITV and the audience at home… I can’t wait to get started.”

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, who became a regular on Loose Women after producers spotted her on Instagram ranting about a roundabout, said: “I’m truly excited to experience the culture, people and food of the beautiful Mediterranean.”

Speaking of her past, she beautifully reminisced on how making patients laugh made her think she might have a chance in the entertainment world.

Whilst appearing on ITV’s This Morning, she said: “As much as I see that video now, it takes me back, but it brings me so much joy because [producers] Sally and Tom saw it and thought ‘You connect with other people! ‘”.

The star explained: “I trained as a social worker and there was a time when I was doing some training in a mental health rehabilitation home, people with really serious psychosis.”

Recalling a poignant moment, she shared: “We were laughing and I was making jokes, we were all laughing, I remember standing there watching everyone laugh and just taking it in. It makes me emotional, one gentleman turned to me and said ‘Thank you, I forgot about my psychosis’.”

She added: “And that was one of the things that pushed me to just try. I’ve been through adversities in life and one of the things that got through it was laughing. It’s about taking those chances. If I never said to myself, ‘Okay, I don’t think this is the place that I’m supposed to be’, then I wouldn’t be here.”

From Frankie Bridge’s M&S dress from the new Sienna Miller collection, to Michelle Keegan’s sunkissed bronzer – here’s everything we’re adding to our basket

The weekend is here and there’s no better time for a spot of retail therapy. With summer teasing us with warmer weather and sunnier spells – in amongst the downpours of rain, and our favourite brands dropping a myriad of hot new styles in stunning colours, you may be on the lookout for some new pieces to spice up your holiday wardrobe.

However, the high street on a busy Saturday morning isn’t the most relaxing place to be, with queues snaking around shops and people everywhere. Thankfully, online shopping means you can browse your favourite stores from the comfort of your home with a cuppa in hand and no-one else around to distract you. Sounds blissful.

And if you’re in dire need of some fashion inspiration, we’ve got just the thing for you: our Weekend Wishlist. This is a carefully curated round up of could-be designer accessories, floaty summer dresses, celeb-approved make-up and more that our fashion team has spotted throughout the week and secured a solid spot in our shopping bag.

From Michelle Keegan’s go-to bronzer and Frankie Bridge’s holiday dress to the latest Nobody’s Child drop, there are so many gorgeous designs that’ll amplify your wardrobe and give it a bit of a Wow-Factor. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Whether you’re heading on holiday or to a summer wedding, Nobody’s Child’s latest dress is an absolute showstopper perfect for those special occasions. Priced at £89, the red and cream floral dress is crafted from a crinkled satin-feel recycled material which means you won’t need to iron it, ideal for throwing in the suitcase for your next getaway.

Available in sizes 4-18, it features a round-neck, classic A-line skirt that skims the body, and a beautiful open back and keyhole fastening which has been thoughtfully designed to work with most bras without showing the straps.

The dress is completed with on trend puff sleeves and immediately became a bestseller on the Nobody’s Child website when it launched earlier this week, with hundreds of people adding it to their basket. Styled with heels, it’s a glam choice for a special occasion, but it can equally be dressed down with a pair of flat sandals for a summer’s day.

Michelle Keegan’s Vieve bronzer

No-one delivers post-beach glow quite like Michelle Keegan. And now, her makeup artist has revealed exactly what she uses to give the star that coveted radiant complexion.

In a recent shoot for the actress’ latest Very collection, one of the key products Manchester MUA Emily used on the star was the Vieve Modern Radiance Cream Bronzer. Created by beauty influencer Jamie Genevieve, the lightweight and buildable cream formla has been hailed ‘a dream’ by shoppers – and we can see why.

Available in four shades, the melt-into-skin bronzer is enriched with skin-loving ingredients like squalane and avocado oil to give your complexion a natural-looking sun-kissed glow, while antioxidant-rich vitamin E helps protect it from external damage.

Designed to deliver a natural, radiant finish, fans say the formula ‘lasts all day’ and has earned a 4.7 star rating out of five based on more than 100 reviews on the Cult Beauty website.

The Drop is Amazon’s inside source for style inspiration and is a page dedicated to chic wardrobe essentials that look as though they’re straight from the high street.

One of our top finds is this The Drop Women’s Addison Soft Volume Top-Handle Bag, which comes in at £32.90. Made in a smooth faux leather, it features a ruched handle and comes in a range of colours to match any outfit. Our personal favourite is the bone shade, followed by timeless black, both of which go with basically anything already in your wardrobe.

Described as ‘buttery soft and surprisingly roomy’ by shoppers, the accessory could easily pass for designer, and is said to be ‘very sleek and trendy. Some have found it to be on the small size, but it’s ideal for a small purse and lipstick for date night.

Boots Buyers Picks Beauty Box

The Boots Limited Edition Buyers Picks Beauty Box is a bargain (

Just when we were starting to think it had been a while since Boots launched its last beauty box, the health and beauty retailer has delivered an absolute sizzler of an edit. The high street chain has released a Limited Edition Buyers Picks Beauty Box, which saves shoppers over £100 on the contents.

The haul features a selection of products picked by shopping experts at Boots, including some seriously impressive brands like Fenty Beauty, Sol De Janeiro, Liz Earle, r.e.m beauty and more. Inside are 12 products, six are full-sized, with a total value of £156.95. Priced at £45, it works out at £3.75 per item, and considering the featured r.e.m beauty highlighter and Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish are worth £24 and £20 respectively, it’s quite the saving.

Boots beauty boxes have a track record of selling out quickly due to their combination of must-have contents and the money they save. Having reviewed the contents of dozens of limited edition hauls from the retailer over the last two years, I don’t think this one will be around for too long. You can check out the full contents here.

Frankie Bridge’s gorgeous M&S x Sienna Miller dress

Ever since its hotly-anticipated launch, all we’ve been talking about is the new Sienna Miller x Marks and Spencer collection. It’s been selling incredibly quickly, with a number of the items now either out of stock or incredibly hard to get your hands on. But one piece still available is the stunning Back Detail Ombre Slip Dress, which we spotted on Loose Women ’s Frankie Bridge.

The slinky number has a close, fluid fit to skim the figure, and has been dyed to give a washed, slightly worn appearance for that lived in feel, coming in blue and pink colourways. Sienna designed this as an effortless date night dress for those long summer nights, but equally, style it with the leather thong sandals from the collection and a denim jacket, and it’s just as chic for daytime, too.

Frankie wore the pink version of the dress with some chunky espadrille style wedges, while she styled the blue version with some blue court shoes and this M&S sequin bag for something a little more glam. She left the back of the dress loose, but this can also be tied to give a more fitted look, too.

E.L.F Power Grip Setting Spray

The e.l..f setting spray is perfect for keeping makeup in place this summer
Keeping your makeup looking fresh in the summer months can be a challenge when the heat, humidity and occasional drizzle can ruin your glam. But using a high-performing setting spray to lock in your foundation, eyeshadow and more can help prolong your look.

Over on Amazon, the e.l.f Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray has rapidly become a bestseller in recent weeks. Boasting a 4.5 star rating, the £10 spritz is set to be a summer must-have and has fast become a favourite in Mirror writer Bethan Shufflebotham’s beauty bag.

She said: “The e.l.f Power Grip spray is a bi-phase formula, meaning you must shake the bottle to activate it. Blending hyaluronic acid and aloe with squalane and green tea seed oil, it provides a dewy, long-lasting makeup look.

“The mist is shockingly fine and so weightless it feels like absolutely nothing on your face. It’s completely invisible and undetectable on the skin and doesn’t leave annoying watermarks in your makeup like other brands.”

Joe Swash was moved to tears after wife Stacey Solomon whisked him away to the seaside with their children to soak up the sun and enjoy some quality time together for Father’s Day

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have whisked their family away for a seaside trip to celebrate Father’s Day. The mum-of-five took to Instagram to share snaps of their fun-filled getaway, where they’ve been soaking up the sun and taking dips in the ocean.

Stacey posted a picture from inside their holiday home with the caption: “Made it. Straight into the sea. Going to have my and go join them”.

She also shared a photo of her son Rex, five, and daughter Rose, two, standing on the sand with dirt up to their knees. Accompanied by laughing emojis, Stacey wrote: “So glad we put their nice clean clothes on @joeswash”.

The Loose Women star then posted a snap of the family handling a crab on the beach as Joe filmed them. She quipped: “Guess who had to get them all out of the net because someone was too scared? Great catch @joeswash the way Rex instantly wipes his muddy hands on my jumper.”

Later, Stacey shared a picture of her hubby Joe looking away from her, at the sink. She revealed: “Every year I make Joe a Father’s Day video and he cries EVERY time”, reports OK!.

She also posted a Father’s Day reel filled with short moments of Joe with the kids over the years, declaring ‘You’re the most incredible father. We are the luckiest’ – in scenes that left the doting dad more than a little emotional.

In a heartwarming video clip shared with her followers, Stacey Solomon documented the joy as she, husband Joe, and the kids launched their very own Pickle Cottage Zipline. Overcome with excitement, Stacey remarked: “Pickle Cottage Zipline. Honestly this has been a dream of the kids, and quite honestly mine and joes forever.”

With sheer delight, Stacey explained further: “So this year, we decided to say “f” it again and get a zipline. Here she is. 50ft of happiness from tree to tree. So grateful to have the space to be able to do this.”

Not forgetting those behind the scenes, Stacey added: “And to have found a small business who installs these. Because until I realised how much maths and physics you needed to calculate to define one of these in it was going to be a DIY which would have 100% ended in disaster it’s much more complicated than you think.”

Denise Welch spoke out on Loose Women, sharing her opinions about the media coverage dedicated to Joe Biden, but she quickly lost her cool claiming to ‘not believe’ the government.

Viewers were stunned as Denise Welch embarked on a furious rant about ageism – and admitted she “believed nothing anybody says.”

At 81 years old, Joe Biden is the target of backlash due to his seemingly fragile health – a worrying thought as many Americans, both in the United States and abroad, are settling on who they should vote for in the upcoming presidential election.

This Tuesday, June 18, the Loose Women panel wondered if the media coverage dedicated to the White House tenant was ageist, thus characterised by prejudice towards his advanced age.

Joe Biden has recently sparked worries over his ability to govern a whole country as he has been spotted during major events freezing and wandering off alone, leaving others around him to remind him of his engagements.

But when the discussion began, Kaye Adams noted she was surprised that Denise Welch, notoriously outspoken, had remained silent. “I can’t believe that you kept quiet all this time”, Kaye said before Denise offered a hand gesture indicating that it was only a matter of time until she shared her thoughts.

Minutes later, however, the former Coronation Street actress broke her silence – and caused yet another commotion on live TV and on social media.

Denise initially opted for a calm approach as she reminded co-stars and viewers of the existence of AI, before adding: “At the age of 81, we see enough images of Biden to know that the man is struggling.”

She then pointed out that the backlash targeting Joe Biden increased and worsened when he settled into his presidential role. Prior to this, the criticism targeting Joe Biden was deemed “cruel”, according to Denise.

When Kaye reminded her of the evidence possibly indicating that Joe Biden may not be fit for his role, Denise lost her patience: “Since Covid I believe nothing anybody says in the government or anything! I don’t believe a word of it.”

She added: “However, there is somebody that I know that was at a conference with Joe Biden at the White House. There are absolutely massive errors being made in the way that he is functioning. We know that he’s probably a puppet.”

Denise then reminded viewers what American citizens and Joe Biden are up against: “It’s the biggest power in the world and we’ve got the choice between a criminally convicted felon, candidate Donald Trump, and we have an 81-year-old man clearly showing signs of not being well. Is there not any other people in American that can run the country?”

Multiple viewers reacted to Denise’s comments with one penning on X: “I don’t think we see enough of Joe Biden to make an informed decision. We all know the media heavily manipulates what we do see, however I’m not sure someone of 81, who has shown he has some problems, is capable of making the decisions Biden needs to make.”

Another suggested: “They should let Let Kamala stand for President”, while a third wrote: “I wonder if maybe President Biden has Alzheimer’s or dementia but fears that it being made public would be damaging to his reputation. If he has either of those conditions, ppl should be more understanding than fearful/judgemental.”

On Monday, June 17, the White House criticised the Republican party for relaying videos meant to show Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline, claiming the images had been manipulated.

“It tells you everything that we need to know about how desperate Republicans are here”, said Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, branding the videos “cheap fakes.”

Prince Harry Says He’ll Never Bring Meghan Markle Back To The UK

Prince Harry has no plans to return to his homeland. In the ITV documentary Tabloids on Trial, which aired on July 26 and explores several legal battles against U.K. newspapers, the Duke of Sussex voiced safety concerns about bringing his wife Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, back to Britain.

“It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read,” he said in the doc. “Whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”

Harry announced in January 2020 that he and the Duchess of Sussex would be stepping back from their royal duties. In June of that year, the couple moved to California, where they currently reside with their two children.

After retreating from royal life, Harry and Meghan’s right to police security in the U.K. was removed by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures. In 2023, the Duke challenged the decision in court, offering to pay for police protection himself.

 

In a court statement at the time, Harry said he and Meghan “felt forced” to leave the U.K. due to safety concerns. His statement came after the former head of counterterrorism for the Metropolitan Police, Neil Basu, said the agency had found “disgusting and very real” threats to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

In February 2024, Harry lost his case against the U.K. government, but is able to appeal the court’s decision about his family’s access to police protection.

Harry’s Royal Rift

In the recent Tabloids on Trial doc, the Duke also spoke of his recent legal battles with British tabloids, which included taking a newspaper group to court over the alleged hacking of his phone.

Harry explained that his legal challenges have been a “central piece” in his rift with senior members of the royal family. However, he stands by his decision to call out the “torrent of abuse from the press.”

“It would be nice if we did it as a family,” he said in the doc. “I believe that from a service standpoint and when you’re in a public role, that these are the things that we should be doing for the greater good.”

Meghan Markle Says Opening Up About Her Mental Health Was “Worth It”

Trigger warning: This piece contains references to suicidal thoughts.

Meghan Markle keeps getting candid about her mental health. On Aug. 4, the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry were interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning to talk about their latest project, The Parents Network, which aims to support parents whose children have been “affected by social media harms.”

During their sit-down, host Jane Pauley asked Meghan about her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which she shared that she “didn’t want to be alive anymore” during her time as a working member of the royal family. While the duchess “wasn’t expecting” to be asked about the famed interview, Meghan said she stands by her decision to open up to Winfrey about her struggles with mental health and thoughts of suicide at the time.

“When you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it,” she said, adding that she hasn’t “really scraped the surface” about her experiences in the British monarchy following her and Harry’s exit from the royal sphere in early 2020.

“I would never want someone else to not be believed,” Meghan continued. “If me voicing what I have overcome will save someone, or encourage someone in their life to really, genuinely check in on them, and not assume that the appearance is good so everything’s OK, then that’s worth it.”

 

Following Harry and Meghan’s 2021 interview with Winfrey, which was watched by 17 million viewers in the United States alone, the royal family released a statement addressing the duchess’ comments about her mental health, among other revelations.

“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan,” a Buckingham Palace statement read. “While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.”

Prince Harry Was “Devastated”

The Duke of Sussex previously spoke of his wife’s mental health struggles in the couple’s 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, revealing that he was “devastated” to learn she had been experiencing suicidal ideation.

“I never thought that it would get to that stage,” he said. “The fact that it got to that stage, I felt angry and ashamed. I didn’t deal with it particularly well. I dealt with it as ‘institutional Harry’ as opposed to ‘husband Harry.’ And what took over my feelings was my royal role.”

SHOCKING NEWS: Meghan Markle ‘THROWS A BOMB’ in everyone’s faces by suggesting her life is on the same trajectory as the Queen.

Meghan Markle ‘THROWS A BOMB’ in everyone’s faces by suggesting her life is on the same trajectory as the Queen. Claims she is ‘HATED FOR BEING A THREAT TO PRINCESS CATHERINE’

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has once again stirred the pot with her latest comments, suggesting that her life is on the same trajectory as the Queen’s. This bold statement has left many people in shock and disbelief, causing a significant stir among royal watchers and the general public alike.

In her latest interview, Meghan did not hold back, drawing parallels between her experiences and those of Queen Elizabeth II. She spoke about the scrutiny she faces, the challenges of royal life, and her desire to serve and make a positive impact, much like the Queen has done throughout her reign. However, the comparison has not been well received by everyone.

Critics argue that Meghan’s experiences as a royal are vastly different from those of the Queen. Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne at a young age and has dedicated her life to her role, navigating through decades of change and maintaining a sense of continuity and stability within the monarchy. Meghan, on the other hand, has faced a different set of challenges, particularly in terms of media scrutiny and public perception.

One of the most controversial claims made by Meghan is that she is hated for being a threat to Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales. This statement has reignited the age-old narrative of a feud between the two royal women. According to Meghan, the media and public’s animosity towards her stems from a perceived rivalry with Catherine. She suggested that the comparisons between them are unfair and have contributed to the negative portrayal of her in the media.

Meghan pointed out that, from the beginning of her relationship with Prince Harry, she felt an underlying tension, partly due to the media’s fascination with pitting her against Catherine. She mentioned that the constant comparisons regarding their fashion choices, charitable endeavors, and public appearances created a competitive narrative that she found difficult to navigate.

Furthermore, Meghan emphasized that her independent spirit and willingness to speak out on issues close to her heart have been misconstrued as rebellious and threatening. She highlighted her advocacy work, particularly in areas of racial equality and women’s rights, and suggested that these efforts have sometimes been overshadowed by the negative press.

In response to Meghan’s claims, royal experts and insiders have offered varied perspectives. Some sympathize with Meghan’s plight, acknowledging the difficulties she has faced as a biracial woman entering an institution steeped in tradition and expectation. They argue that the intense media scrutiny and public pressure have undoubtedly contributed to the challenges she and Harry have encountered.

However, others believe that Meghan’s comparison to the Queen and her suggestion of being a threat to Catherine are exaggerated and self-serving. They argue that while Meghan has faced significant challenges, her approach to dealing with them has sometimes been divisive and confrontational.

The narrative of a feud between Meghan and Catherine has been a recurring theme in the media, often fueled by anonymous sources and speculative reports. Both women have, at various times, attempted to dispel these rumors, emphasizing their mutual respect and support for each other. However, Meghan’s latest comments are likely to reignite the debate and further polarize opinions.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s recent remarks have once again placed her at the center of public debate. By drawing parallels between her life and the Queen’s and suggesting that she is hated for being a threat to Princess Catherine, Meghan has sparked a new wave of controversy. As the discussions continue, it remains to be seen how these comments will impact her public image and relationship with the royal family.

In David Beckham’s glorious career, there was a moment that haunted the flamboyant midfielder forever.

That was the cruel red card that the young Becks received in the match against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup in the round of 16.

This match took place on June 30, 1998, Argentina and England stepped onto the Geoffroy-Guichard pitch in Saint-Etienne. The match became dramatic from the first minutes.

Batistuta opened the scoring for the Tango team in the 6th minute. But just 4 minutes later, Shearer brought the match back to balance.

In the frenzy of beautiful and effective attacking football, the England team immediately scored a second goal thanks to the “prodigy” Michael Owen in the 16th minute,

but in the injury time of the first half, Zanetti equalized 2-2 for Argentina.

In the second half, England and Argentina both aimed for victory with all they had left, but in the 47th minute, Diego Simeone fouled David Beckham. The midfielder, who was playing for Inter Milan at the time, was very cunning and provocative towards his opponent. “El Cholo” tackled from behind, and when he fell down, he deliberately pushed Becks down to the ground.

Diego Simeone was 28 years old at that time, the captain of Argentina, playing in the position of a cunning and fierce defensive midfielder. David Beckham was only 23, with romantic blond hair, extremely handsome and playing flamboyant football. And Becks fell into a trap when he tried to retaliate, even though he was lying face down on the ground, he still tried to lightly touch his heel to his opponent. Just waiting for that, Simeone fell down and signaled to the referee, then rolled around in pain.

Immediately after that, the referee showed Simeone a yellow card, but worse, for Beckham, it was a red card. From then on, England were completely outclassed in a 10-on-11 game. Glenn Hoddle’s team managed to hold on after two extra periods, but were still defeated 3-4 in the penalty shootout.

In the dressing room, David Beckham cried like a child, while outside, the whole of England was cursing the beloved midfielder of M.U. Remembering this, former player Tony Adams recalled how he consoled his junior.

“He was really sad and in tears and I think that was a normal reaction,” Adams told Sky Sports.

“Then David was crying like a baby and I put my arms around him and I turned it into a joke. I said, ‘Hey man, listen, you’re a young man and you’ve got time, you’re playing for one of the biggest clubs on the planet. Go back to Manchester United and you won’t let anyone down. You’re still young and there will be many World Cups to come. But you’ve ruined my dream because this is my last chance at a World Cup’. Then, I remember very clearly, he was looking at me and saying, ‘Are you kidding me?’. I know, David got over the shock afterwards but it still haunted him a little bit,” the former Arsenal player recalled.

With this red card, Beckham was considered a sinner of England and became one of the most hated people of the year. But then, David Beckham stood up maturely. He helped M.U win the treble in the 1998/99 season. Four years later, he had a rematch with Simeone and Argentina at the 2002 World Cup and Beckham had sweet revenge: Scoring the only goal from the penalty spot, helping England win, and eliminating Argentina right from the group stage.

David Beckham is celebrating his 49th birthday today and is now happily settled in his sprawling Cotswolds estate with wife Victoria Beckham and their children,

but 21 years prior – the Manchester United legend had a life-changing decision to make.

Victoria Beckham took to Instagram to celebrate “growing really old” with husband David Beckham, as he marks his 49th birthday today.

The stars got married in 1999, and have remained a strong couple ever since, despite dealing with a whirlwind life in the spotlight.

21 years ago, Victoria, who turned 50 last month, David and their young family were at a crossroads when the Premier League legend was forced to make a big decision that would impact all of their lives.

In an interview unearthed by Express.co.uk as David gets even closer to his fifth decade,

the Manchester United icon shared the “major day” he had to decide on uprooting his settled family life in the UK for his footballing career.

He shared in a candid conversation with The Times, back in September 2003, that he had to have a “serious” one-on-one talk with wife Victoria to figure out whether or not they could move to Madrid, Spain.

David told the publication: “That was a major day in my life because my whole family were around and a decision had to be made. It was small talk at the start, but there was a serious part in the evening when Victoria and I sat down just on our own and we made the decision.

“I think that moving to Real Madrid was the only decision I would have made, having been at Manchester United,” the sportsman admitted.

Fortunately for the couple, the move paid off, as they spent several years in Spain after David signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid.

Nowadays, Victoria and David spend a lot of their time at their London townhouse, estimated to be worth £31 million.

They also own a luxurious Miami apartment, worth $24 million, as David works in the US city as co-owner of MLS team Inter Miami CF.
