    Another snap showed Tallulah smiling behind a huge marble effect cake alongside her grandparents Anthony and Jackie.

    Siblings Victoria, 47, and Louise, 39, are very close, but live completely different lives.

    Last year Louise volunteered at a Covid testing site while Spice Girl Victoria, whose brand Beckham empire is worth around £380m, focused on her fashion brand.

    Yesterday Victoria enjoyed a relaxing day in the sun with husband David and their kids onboard their £5m yacht Seven.

    The whole family is in town ahead of eldest child Brooklyn’s big day on Saturday.

    He and wife-to-be Nicola, whose family is worth £1.3billion, signed a prenuptial agreement ahead of their wedding at the Peltz family’s £76million ocean-front mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

    Brooklyn told Nicola on social media recently: “I fall more in love with you every single day and I cannot wait to grow old with you.”

    A star-studded guest list is expected, including Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, actress and fashion designer Nicole Ritchie, model Gigi Hadid and TV chef Gordon Ramsay likely to be there.

    It is even rumoured California based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may show up, as Posh and Becks went to their wedding in 2018.

    Of course, Brooklyn and Nicola’s pals will also be in attendance.

    Luckily the photographer was able to meet his wife-to-be’s best pal before their big day.

    Taking to her Instagram Story, Nicola stared an adorable snap of Brooklyn and her friend Angela cosied up together in a kitchen.

    Nicola told her 2.1million followers: “My angels have finally met,” with lots of crying face emojis.

    It comes days after it was revealed that the couple have “signed a prenup” ahead of their £3million wedding.

    The Mail Online reported that prenup has reportedly been drawn up to protect the Beckham’s £380million fortune.

    Brooklyn, 23, was pipped against fiancee Nicola, 27, in a game of Mr and Mrs with British Vogue in a video released on Wednesday.

    The eldest child of former footballer David Beckham, 46, and Spice Girl Victoria, 47, was asked to guess his wife-to-be’s “style icon”.

    But rather than pick his fashion designer mum, both Brooklyn and Nicola opted for her model mum Claudia, 66.

    “Who is Nicola’s style icon?” the couple were asked by Vogue, as they wrote their answers on pieces of paper before revealing them.

    “My mom,” actress Nicola revealed she had written inside a heart, while her fiance had penned: “Claudia.”

    “Yeah, I wrote Claudia,” Brooklyn chimed as they showed their answers, as his soon-to-be other half confirmed: “That’s my mum.”

    Claudia Heffner Peltz – who is also mum to the Transformers actress’ seven siblings – was a high-fashion model before marrying Nelson Peltz.

    Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s mum Victoria launched her fashion brand in 2008 with a range of womenswear before winning designer brand of the year in the UK three years later.

    Brooklyn and Nicola are due to tie the knot in a lavish, celebrity-packed £3million ceremony this Saturday in Palm Springs.

    While Brooklyn’s celebrity parents have no doubt contributed to the big day, their wealth is dwarfed by the £1.3billion banked by Nicola’s financier father Nelson, 79, and his wife Claudia.

    David and Victoria are already in Florida for the big occasion — with sons Romeo, 19 and Cruz, 17, as well as daughter Harper, ten — having been seen on a yacht off Miami.

    It is confirmed Brooklyn and Nicola have signed a prenup ahead of their wedding at the Peltz family’s £76million ocean-front home.

    The couple share a £8.3million mansion in Beverley Hills but are reportedly looking to sell it and move to Miami.

    Brooklyn told Nicola on social media recently: “I fall more in love with you every single day and I cannot wait to grow old with you.”

    Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, actress and fashion designer Nicole Ritchie, model Gigi Hadid and TV chef Gordon Ramsay are likely to be there.

    It is even rumoured California-based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may show up, as Posh and Becks went to their wedding in 2018.

    Nicola has picked her gran, or “Naunnie”, as Maid of Honour, and her ice-hockey player brother Brad, 32, as Man of Honour.

    Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s proud dad will be master of ceremonies and say a few words about his son, who he affectionately calls Buster.

    Despite there being two planning teams scheming on the wedding, Victoria has taken it upon herself to ensure the day goes like clockwork.

    A source said: “She is running around like Mother Hen. You would think it was her getting married. She has a timetable for every minute of the wedding day.”

    Who has Brooklyn Beckham dated?

    Brooklyn Beckham has been rumoured to be dating many people throughout his time growing up in the spotlight, some with more concrete evidence than others.

    Since the age of 15, the son of footballer David and former singer Victoria has been linked to models, actresses and singers before meeting his eventual wife Nicola.

    Rumours have swirled over the years of connections to ex-Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts as well as a series of dates with a former Posh lookalike.

    But Brooklyn has been loved-up with Nicola since 2019 and the young couple will wed on Saturday, April 9, 2022.

    Let’s take a look at his dating past.

    Chloe Grace Moretz

    One of the most famous of Brooklyn’s relationships is his on-and-off again history with actress Chloe Grace Moretz.

    The pair began dating in August 2014, making their red carpet debut together at the Teen Choice Awards.

    After two years of break-ups and rekindling, they went their separate ways in August 2016.

    This was not the end for Brooklyn and Chloe, however, as they started flirting via Instagram in 2017 and got back together.

    They confirmed their reunion with a public appearance before breaking up one final time after Valentine’s Day in 2018.

    In late 2015, during one of his splits from Chloe, he started seeing French actress Sonia Ben Ammar.

    The couple stayed together for five months before going their separate ways in March 2016.

    They are rumoured to have met up again in 2017 on a visit to the Louvre Museum in Paris, with mum Victoria in attendance.

    The daughter of singer Lionel Richie was spotted heading to a bowling alley together.

    Sofia was later spotted cuddling up to Scott Disick in Cannes and the pair dated for three years before breaking up in May 2020.

    The model is now believed to be dating Elliot Grainge, a music executive.

    She is believed to have been invited to the wedding of Brooklyn and Nicola.

    Another brief relationship while Brooklyn was on a break with Chloe was with Gillian McKeith’s daughter Afton.

    According to Us Weekly, the couple had been classmates and began dating in 2017.

    His on-and-off again relationship with Chloe prevented anything serious developing between the two.

    In April 2022 it was revealed she is competing in the Miss USA competition.

    Brooklyn moved to New York City for college and the pair broke up just a month later.

    By August 2018, Brooklyn was linked to model Alex Lee Aillon.

    A source told Us Weekly they had been “hanging out for around two months” but not officially dating.

    It was never revealed if the relationship blossomed into anything more.

    In December 2018, Brooklyn was confirmed to be in a relationship with model Hana Cross.

    The couple confirmed their relationship on Instagram but had probably been together for longer as she had already met his parents.

    Hana was seen joining Brooklyn and his parents at the Haig Club House Party in Notting Hill, London.

    They were also seen hand-in-hand as they left a British Fashion Awards after party that same month.

    In addition, Hana also posted a video of the two looking cosy as they danced to The Jacksons’ Blame It On The Boogie.

    In June 2019, a source close to the family told the Sun: “David’s got a tight bond with Brooklyn and it’s been worrying for him and Victoria to watch him arguing with Hana.

    “They’ve been so up and down these past few weeks and David wants Brooklyn to have a serious think about whether he’s got a future with her.”

    By the following month the pair stopped making public appearances and went their separate ways.

    Rita Ora

    Singer Rita Ora and the eldest Beckham son were an item when he was 18 and she was 26.

    Apparently, they dated in secret and shared many flirty texts – however, that all came to an end when his famous parents found out.

    Given that Rita previously dated Becks’ BFF Dave Gardner, David is understood to have been furious.

    As a result, Posh and husband David banned Brooklyn from seeing Rita, and to show they meant business, the pair sent him Brooklyn to live in New York to keep him away from the singer.

    Nicola Peltz

    Brooklyn has been dating actress Nicola since around November 2019 but had met in 2017.

    They announced their engagement on July 11, 2020, on Instagram with Brooklyn saying:  “Two weeks ago I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes.

    I am the luckiest man in the world.”

    The eldest Beckham boy has seven tattoos dedicated to Nicola, one of which is on his hand and says “our little bubble”.

    Together they share a £8.3million mansion in Beverley Hills but are reportedly looking to sell it and move to Miami.

    He proposed with an emerald cut engagement ring with an estimated 4.5-5 carat diamond.

    When is Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding to Nicola Peltz?

    The £3million wedding will take place on Saturday, April 9, 2022.

    The chosen venue for the nuptials is a Peltz family mansion in Palm Springs, Florida.

    As you would expect, the guest list is long and full of celebrities.

    Posh and Becks attended the Royal Wedding in 2018, so rumours have risen of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attending this showbiz royalty event.

    Elton John is a long time friend of the Beckhams so likely to have an invite.

    Willow and Jaden, the children of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, are also family friends of the groom.

    Of course, the Spice Girls have also been invited.

    Sir Cliff Richard made an appearance on Loose Women, where he chatted with the ITV show’s panellists including his good friend Gloria Hunniford

    Sir Cliff Richard left fans ‘cringing’ as they tuned in to watch his Loose Women appearance.

    The music legend joined the likes of Brenda Edwards, Kaye Adams and Frankie Bridge on the ITV show, as well as good friend and Loose Women panellist Gloria Hunniford. He was there to chat about his long career, and fans watched on from the studio and at home as talk soon turned to his friendship with none other than the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley.

    However, fans were left cringing when he started doing an impersonation of Elvis for the viewers. Standing up, he made his way to the front of the desk and started dancing, leaving viewers cringing.

    Viewers took to Twitter to share their feelings about his appearance, as one wrote: “I don’t watch this rubbish anymore but my mum told me how cringe he was. I don’t know what’s worse when he tried to dance or when he said his lips have gone thin,” as a second added: “We’ve heard all those Cliff stories thousands of times!!!#LooseWomen.”

    A third shared: “This is so painful i am loving it! #loosewomen,” with a fourth writing: “I will never understand women swooning over Cliff not now or back in the day, and that’s allowing for all of us having different taste. I genuinely don’t get it. #LooseWomen.” A fifth penned on social media: “Cliff Richard is insufferable. Get him off. #LooseWomen.”

    However, some took to social media to share their excitement at seeing Cliff back on their TVs. One wrote: “Gloria and Sir Cliff’s friendship is absolutely fantastic. Plus, you can see it’s not just for the TV screens, but it’s a true and long life friendship.” A second added: “Cliff looks fantastic for his age. What is his secret? #LooseWomen,” whilst others praised his singing voice and said it was good to see his successful career continuing years after it began.

    Lisa Maxwell has revealed why she quit Loose Women

    Lisa Maxwell: Battle with eating disorder, bad reaction to filler, why she needed weekly therapy, and why she quit Loose Women

    Once a small screen regular, Lisa makes a rare TV appearance this week…

    The Weakest Link guest star Lisa Maxwell mostly keeps to herself these days, but she used to be on some of ITV’s biggest shows.

    Once known for her long-running roles on both The Bill and later Loose Women, Lisa has been a TV star for (cough) nearly five decades, having started as a child. Apart from short stints on Hollyoaks and Celebrity MasterChef, however, she’s not been on our screens much in the last 10 years.

    So why did she did Loose Women? And what has she said about her personal issues with eating disorders, and fillers. Here’s everything you need to know about Lisa Maxwell, including her career, personal life, and why she left her biggest roles…

    Was Lisa Maxwell in The Madame Blanc Mysteries?

    Actress Lisa Maxwell guest starred in The Madame Blanc Mysteries in 2024. She played Nancy, a woman who was abducted at a surprise birthday party for a friend.

    After excusing herself to a restroom, Nancy was snatched by a mystery gloved hand. Jeremy (Robin Askwith) then received a photo of a bound Nancy from her kidnapper. It became a race against time for Jean (Sally Lindsay) and Dom (Steve Edge) to rescue her.

    The role marked Lisa’s return to the small screen after two years. In 2022, she’d popped up in one episode of Casualty as Alison Madbury, Before that, she’d portrayed Tracey Donovan in Hollyoaks from 2016 to 2017.

    Who is Lisa Maxwell? What has she been in?

    Lisa is an English actress, presenter and comedy star. Over a career spanning nearly five decades, her biggest roles were in The Bill and Hollyoaks. She was also a Loose Women panellist for five years.

    A born entertainer, Lisa made her first TV appearance in 1976 aged just 12 years old. This was in the British sitcom The Many Wives of Patrick, starring Patrick Cargill.

    She continued to have small roles as a child actor. By 1982, she beat off 3000 contenders to become a presenter of children’s music programme No Limits.

    Her first adult acting role also came in 1982 with the Royal Navy film Remembrance. Timothy Spall and former EastEnders star John Altman were her co-stars.

    She also proved to be quite the comedian, making a name for herself in sketch comedy shows including The Les Dennis Laughter Show (1987-1991) and The Russ Abbot Show (1990). By 1991, her efforts were rewarded with her own sketch comedy show, called The Lisa Maxwell Show. Disappointingly perhaps, this only lasted six episodes.

Whilst I had an incredible time working there (it was a dream platform for a disabled woman with a lot to say), the time has come to part ways.”

    The presenter added: “I am very proud to have been part of their groundbreaking work, including campaigns such as ‘Body Stories’ – which celebrated body diversity & confidence – ‘Facing It Together’ – a campaign about domestic abuse – &, of course, my baby, ‘Rights on Flights’ which was born on the show last year (Sally, thank you).”
