“He Looked Broken, Not Just Grieving.” — David Beckham Appeared Visibly Strained And Hollow-Eyed As He Was Seen In Public For The First Time Since Son Brooklyn Allegedly Blocked The Entire Family, Marking What Insiders Describe As A “Complete Estrangement,” With The Football Icon Attending The Funeral Of Stone Roses Legend Gary “Mani” Mounfield In Silence, His Jaw Tight, His Expression Heavy, And His Usual Composure Nowhere To Be Found. Witnesses Say Beckham Kept His Head Down, Barely Speaking, Carrying Not Just The Weight Of Loss — But The Crushing Pain Of A Father Shut Out Of His Own Child’s Life, As One Source Whispered, “You Could See It In His Face… This Wasn’t Just Mourning, This Was A Man Trying To Hold Himself Together While Everything At Home Was Falling Apart.”

David Beckham has been seen for the first time since his son Brooklyn blocked his entire family on Instagram.

On Monday the former footballer, 50, attended Stone Roses legend Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield’s funeral with his former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville.

It came after a difficult weekend which saw his son Cruz claim that Brooklyn had blocked his family as their feud escalated to boiling point.

Cruz penned in a post following reports David and Victoria had unfollowed their son: ‘My mum and dad would never unfollow their son [as reports had suggested]. They woke up blocked. As did I.’

On Monday David headed to the funeral – alongside a sea of other famous faces – and understandably looked downcast.

The ceremony at Manchester Cathedral saw guests arriving including Stone Roses singer Ian Brown and Paul Weller, while David and Gary – legends of Mani’s beloved Manchester United – also attended.

Mounfield died peacefully in his sleep aged 63 at his home in Stockport of ‘respiratory issues’ after having the lung condition emphysema, it was revealed last week.

He died on November 20 after collapsing following a seizure, with family sources saying an ambulance was called but he could not be revived.

His death came two years after his wife of 25 years, Imelda died after suffering from bowel cancer. They are survived by their 12-year-old sons Gene and George.

David’s appearance at the funeral comes after the bitter Beckham family feud escalated to new heights over the weekend as Cruz claimed his brother Brooklyn had blocked their entire family on Instagram.

It had first been reported that David and Victoria had stopped following their oldest son, before Cruz, 20, furiously set the record straight.

The claims of the very sudden blocking sparked the obvious question of why he would do such a thing.

And it’s now possible that Brooklyn suddenly cut final ties with his parents and three siblings after Victoria liked a post of his about roasting a chicken.

Aspiring chef Brooklyn, 26, posted another of his regular cooking videos on Instagram last week as he showed his 16 million followers how to brine a chicken.

Victoria is thought to have liked the post which led to a slew of comments under the post urging Brooklyn to fix the feud with his family.

Fans penned: ‘Victoria liked this post. Yay!!! Family is everything’, ‘Go and see your parents, you will regret it later in life’, ‘Call your parents.’

It’s understood that Brooklyn was left annoyed by the comments prompted by his mother’s public like – and decided to block the whole family including his sister Harper, 14.

Brooklyn will be spending Christmas in the US with his wife Nicola Peltz – who no longer follows the Beckhams – and her family.

It comes after The Daily Mail revealed that David and Victoria have been asked to stop contacting Brooklyn and his wife.

It seems that the young couple find Instagram posts by the Beckhams upsetting and anxiety-inducing.

They wake up worrying what might have been posted about them overnight.

‘It would be really in the holiday spirit if the Beckhams could just back off and leave them alone for now,’ a friend of the Peltz Beckhams said on Sunday.

‘The Beckhams started these ‘blocking’ game stories earlier this year and they keep going.

‘Whether someone follows someone else on Insta or any other platform shouldn’t be and isn’t a story. It’s a sad situation, but nothing has changed here.

Mounfield was a passionate and lifelong Manchester United fan

‘Nicola and Brooklyn haven’t been commenting. They just want peace. It would be best for everyone for them [the Beckhams] to stop contacting, commenting and briefing because it’s not accomplishing anything.’

In fact, even the intervention by Cruz is considered another negative briefing by Brooklyn and Nicola. As the friend says: ‘They have requested that the Beckhams back off. They just want to be left alone. The Instagram stuff is just a media play – it feels like more manipulation, more gaslighting. It just drives Brooklyn and Nicola further away.

‘They get upset by the speculation. They are trying to take the high road which is not to react at all and to just live their lives.’

Meanwhile sources in camp Beckham say after the blocking: ‘David and Victoria will never stop loving Brooklyn.

‘They will always be here for him and they always want him to know that, they are devastated at this fall out.

‘So far from this being them, it appears that Brooklyn has blocked them to show them that’s it, this is final.

‘It is very clear that this is a sign of his complete estrangement from his family.

‘For David and Victoria it was their last connection to Brooklyn as he has made it very clear he doesn’t want to talk to them anymore, they haven’t spoken for months and months now.

‘By following him it was a message to him that they still love him and still want to follow his life. Now they can’t do that, but it’s not their doing.’

The Instagram fallout comes just days before Christmas.

Brooklyn will not join his parents and younger brothers Romeo and Cruz or sister Harper.

Instead he is expected to remain in US while the Beckhams celebrate with their wider family at their £10million home in the Cotswolds.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Brooklyn for comment on Cruz’s claims.

It is the most public sign yet that there has is no communication between them amid their spiraling family feud.

Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, 30, also does not follow David and Victoria. They no longer follow her either.

His decision to spend Christmas with his in-laws will come as a blow to his parents and siblings.

In recent weeks, David has appeared to offer a public olive branch to his son, in an apparent bid to put an end to their very public family feud.

The former footballer had shared a throwback picture of himself with Brooklyn and his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz.

Cruz also made sure his brother knew he was thinking of him by sharing a sweet snap of the pair with brother Romeo on the beach in Brazil.

Brooklyn was seen wrapping his arm around his youngest brother Cruz as they posed on the beach.

Relations between Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckham clan unraveled completely when they did not attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May. Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father’s knighthood in November.

Last week, the Daily Mail revealed how Brooklyn’s nans are devastated they won’t be seeing their grandson this Christmas.

Victoria had shared a festive picture from her parents Jackie and Tony Adams’ house as they placed twelve stockings in a row on their fireplace, one for each grandchild. In pride of place was one reserved for Brooklyn.

The family feud has taken a particularly acute toll on Jackie, as well as David’s mother Sandra.

Some argue that hanging up Brooklyn’s stocking, regardless of the feud, is a sign of hope on Jackie’s part that – somehow, despite everything – Christmas might finally persuade her grandson to put aside his grudges and step on a plane to rejoin the family.

Friends of the Beckhams say Jackie and Sandra are ‘extremely sad’ about the situation.

The source added: ‘They’re not getting any younger and the cold truth of it all is that nobody knows when they will see Brooklyn next. It’s Jackie and Sandra who everyone feels so sorry for.’

David and Victoria will spend some of the festive period in the £60million home they recently bought on Miami’s waterfront.

It was where they were joined last year by Brooklyn and Nicola, and photographs of their Christmas celebrations show everyone having what appeared to be a lovely time.

Victoria is believed to be working hard to put on a brave face and stay strong for her husband and teenage daughter Harper.

BREAKING BBC CONFIRMS NO FUTURE PROJECTS WITH DAVID WALLIAMS AFTER ALLEGED ‘INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR’

BBC confirm no future projects with David Walliams after alleged ‘inappropriate behaviour’

Children’s author and comedian, David Walliams, will not be ‘directly involved’ in any future projects with the BBC, as it stands.

He was dropped by his publisher, Harper Collins, after allegations that he ‘harassed’ junior female employees.

Walliams, 58, ‘strongly denies’ the allegations, according to a statement via a spokesperson, and plans to ‘take legal advice’.

Now, the BBC has made an announcement following the accusations.

A spokesperson for the organisation said in a statement provided to Metro: ‘While we’re not making any changes to the festive schedules, we have no future projects directly involving David Walliams.’

After the report by The Telegraph alleging inappropriate behaviour towards young women, eyes turned to the BBC, who have scheduled content coming up with David over the festive period.

The organisation is still planning to air the controversial David Walliams Would I Lie To You Christmas special on Boxing Day.

During filming for the show in June, he was filmed doing two Nazi salutes, which the BBC and the production company, Banijay UK, apologised for.

At the time, Banijay UK and the BBC called it ‘completely unacceptable’ and the production company said: ‘It was immediately acknowledged during the recording that this segment would not be broadcast under any circumstances.’

Children’s channel, CBBC, is also airing Mr Stink and The Boy in the Dress today, both of which are based on Walliams’ novels.

Meanwhile, in 2022, the BGT judge was removed from his role on the show after leaked recordings showed him making offensive remarks about the contestants.

The leaked transcript, picked up on a hot mic, revealed Walliams called one auditioning contestant a ‘c**’ and said of another: ‘She thinks you want to f*** her, but you don’t’.

Afterwards, he publicly apologised for the ‘disrespectful comments’, saying he never intended for the private conversations to be shared.

He also reached a settlement with the production company Fremantle after suing them for misuse of private information and breaching data laws.

A statement provided to The Telegraph from HarperCollins about being dropped from the publishers said: ‘The author is aware of this decision.

‘HarperCollins takes employee wellbeing extremely seriously and has processes in place for reporting and investigating concerns.’

The Telegraph investigation also claimed that one employee who raised concerns about the former Britain’s Got Talent judge was given a five-figure payout and subsequently left the company.

A spokesperson for Walliams told PA: ‘David has never been informed of any allegations raised against him by Harper Collins.

‘He was not party to any investigation or given any opportunity to answer questions. David strongly denies that he has behaved inappropriately and is taking legal advice.’

The prolific writer started his publishing career in 2008 and has since released over 40 children’s books, including bestsellers such as Gangsta Granny.

Elsewhere, his sketch comedy series with Matt Lucas, Little Britain, has faced mounting criticism over the years, with fans branding certain characters ‘explicitly racist’ and slamming the use of blackface.

The pair apologised for the latter in a statement on Twitter in 2020 where they said: ‘Matt & I have both spoken publicly in recent years of our regret that we played characters of other races.

‘Once again we want to make it clear that it was wrong & we are very sorry.’

Walliams first became a judge on Britain’s Got Talent in 2012 (Picture: Beretta/Sims/Shutterstock)
Discussing cancel culture in 2024 after the Would I Lie To You debacle, he called it ‘exhausting’.

He told The Daily Telegraph at the time: ‘Things that are explosively funny are often on the edge, aren’t they?. [The issue] is complicated, but you just look at each joke as it comes really.

‘Obviously, if you were worried about every single thing you said or did might offend someone, that you wouldn’t be able to say or do anything on stage.

‘I kind of think people haven’t lost a sense of humour in the way that it’s often portrayed.’

Metro has reached out to BBC and David Walliam’s representatives for comment.

OFFICIAL! Richard Madeley Confirms He and Judy Finnigan Have Finalized Their Divorce BUT Will Still Live Together: “I Haven’t Fulfilled My Responsibilities Yet.”

Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, one of Britain’s most beloved television duos, have officially confirmed that they have finalized their divorce. Despite this significant change in their relationship status, the couple has revealed that they will continue to live together. This surprising decision has caught the attention of fans and media alike, prompting many to wonder about the reasons behind this unconventional arrangement. In this article, we delve deeper into Richard’s candid admission and explore what this means for their future.

Richard Madeley Confirms Divorce Finalization and Their Unique Living Arrangement

In a heartfelt statement, Richard Madeley openly confirmed that he and Judy Finnigan have legally ended their marriage. However, he emphasized that their separation does not mean they are parting ways entirely. Instead, the couple has chosen to maintain their shared household for the foreseeable future. Richard explained, “I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities yet,” highlighting his commitment to their ongoing partnership despite the divorce.

This revelation has sparked widespread curiosity about how the pair will manage their day-to-day lives while living under the same roof but no longer being married. Their decision challenges traditional views on divorce and cohabitation, illustrating a modern approach to relationships that prioritizes mutual respect and understanding.

Why Richard and Judy Are Choosing to Live Together Post-Divorce

The choice to continue living together after divorce is uncommon, but for Richard and Judy, it seems to be a practical and emotional decision. Several factors contribute to this arrangement:

1. **Shared History and Emotional Bond:** Having spent decades together both personally and professionally, their connection remains strong. Living separately might feel too abrupt or disruptive for either party.

2. **Mutual Support System:** The couple has supported each other through many life challenges. Continuing to share a home allows them to maintain this support system during a transitional period.

3. **Practical Considerations:** Financial and logistical reasons may also play a role. Maintaining one household can be more manageable than setting up separate residences, especially if they have joint commitments or pets.

4. **Respectful Separation:** Richard’s statement about not having fulfilled his responsibilities suggests a desire to handle their separation with care and dignity, avoiding unnecessary upheaval.

Their decision reflects a broader trend where couples redefine traditional relationship boundaries to suit their unique circumstances, focusing on what works best for their well-being.

What This Means for Fans and the Future of Their Relationship

Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan have long been admired for their chemistry and partnership on and off-screen. Fans may wonder how this new chapter will affect their public appearances and professional collaborations. So far, both have expressed a commitment to maintaining their friendship and continuing to work together when possible.

This arrangement also opens up conversations about the evolving nature of relationships in the modern world. It challenges the stigma around divorce and demonstrates that separation does not necessarily mean complete disconnection.

For those following their journey, it’s a reminder that every relationship is unique, and sometimes unconventional choices can lead to healthier outcomes for all involved.

Conclusion

Richard Madeley’s confirmation that he and Judy Finnigan have finalized their divorce but will still live together offers a fresh perspective on how couples can navigate separation with respect and care. Their decision highlights the importance of fulfilling personal responsibilities and maintaining strong bonds, even when the nature of a relationship changes. As they embark on this new phase, their story encourages us to rethink traditional norms around divorce and cohabitation.

“I’d Rather Walk Out With My Integrity” – Rylan Clark Drops Career-ending Truth Bomb After ITV Cuts Him Loose

Rylan Clark has confirmed that his time at This Morning is over—this time for good. After a whirlwind week of controversy, the TV star revealed that his contract with ITV has officially been terminated following the backlash to his explosive remarks on immigration.

In an emotional sign-off, Rylan, 36, told viewers on Friday: “At last, I can finally breathe easy and speak out about those disgusting truths. I have no regrets for speaking up, even if it cost me my career. Thank you, everyone…”

The announcement marks a dramatic end to his stint as stand-in host alongside Josie Gibson, who had been covering for Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard during their summer break. Josie responded on-air with: “What a week!”—but fans had no idea that it would also be Rylan’s last.

The storm began earlier in the week when Rylan clashed with viewers over his take on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s mass deportation plans. Speaking live on air, he questioned:

“How come if I turn up at Heathrow Airport as a British citizen and I’ve left my passport in Spain, I won’t be let in? But if I arrive on a boat from Calais, I get taken to a four-star hotel?”

Rylan insisted that he was not against immigration, adding: “This country is built on immigration—legal immigration. They pay tax, they help our country thrive. But illegal routes? That’s something we can’t ignore.”

He also highlighted what he saw as a growing injustice: “You’ve got people who have lived here all their lives struggling, while others are handed hotels, phones, even iPads. Something major has to change.”

The remarks instantly divided audiences, with critics accusing him of spreading misinformation about asylum seekers in the UK. Social media erupted, and within hours, calls were mounting for ITV to act.

On X, Rylan fought back, declaring: “You can be pro-immigration and against illegal routes. You can support trans rights and respect women. You can be straight and support gay rights. The list goes on.”

But by Friday, the damage was done. ITV confirmed behind the scenes that his role would not continue, with insiders revealing that the network and Rylan had “mutually agreed” to terminate his contract.

Fans reacted with heartbreak. One wrote: “Please keep Rylan and Josie on! They’re the best duo in years.” Another added: “I won’t be watching come next week—he was the only reason I tuned in again.”

The news came just as former host Ruth Langsford teased her own return to the iconic sofa. Speaking to The Mirror, she hinted she’d happily reunite with her “TV son” Rylan:

“I love Rylan. He’s like my son. We’ve worked together before, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. If ITV asked, I’d be there.”

However, with Rylan’s future at ITV officially closed, fans are now left wondering: could the duo reunite on an entirely new project away from This Morning? Ruth teased that something might already be in the works.

For now, one thing is clear: Rylan Clark is stepping away from daytime  TV on his own terms—louder, prouder, and with no regrets.

This Morning continues weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX—without one of its most outspoken stars.

“BROOKLYN BECKHAM BLOCKS HIS FAMILY?? Latest Twist in Beckham Family Rift Just Days Before Christmas!”

Why are Brooklyn Beckham and his family feuding? What we know about their ‘estrangement’

The alleged Beckham family feud has continued to rage, with tensions escalating and resulting in Brooklyn blocking his parents.

There have been rumours of fallouts ever since Brooklyn Beckham, 26, married Nicola Peltz, 30, three years ago, and speculation has mounted over the past few months.

David and Victoria Beckham were conspicuously absent from Brooklyn’s vow renewal ceremony in August, and Victoria’s recent Netflix documentary sparked even more questions.

The family has largely maintained a dignified silence on whispers of an ongoing feud, despite cryptic social media posts.

But Brooklyn’s unexplained absence from his dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations were enough to convince most fans that something is definitely afoot.

We’ve got you covered with a timeline of the family feud, all the rumours, and how it all began – let’s take you through it.

Victoria and Nicola Peltz’s wedding dress drama

Nicola and Victoria’s relationship has been the source of much speculation (Picture: Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock)
In 2022, there were reports Nicola had refused to wear one of fashion icon Victoria’s designs for the big day.

‘No family is perfect. No family,’ she told the Sunday Times in October that year, explaining that she, her mother, Victoria, and her longtime stylist were in a text chain discussing bridal designer ideas.

Victoria reportedly messaged Nicola’s mother to say her atelier wouldn’t be able to make the dress in time, and so they regrouped and ‘came up with something else’.

Brooklyn and Romeo’s ‘fallout over Kim Turnbull’

Even Romeo Beckham’s relationship with Kim Turnbull has sparked rumours (Picture: Dave Benett/Getty Images for 180 Studios)
In April, Cruz was forced to rubbish rumours his brothers were feuding after Romeo’s girlfriend Kim.

Fans have claimed she dated Brooklyn first, alleging it caused a rift between the siblings.

In a now-deleted message, one person commented on Romeo and Kim’s holiday snaps, ‘It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool’, but Cruz replied: ‘Brooklyn and Kim never dated.’

Brooklyn and Nicola miss David’s birthday

Rumours of a rift have only increased after Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend any of his dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May.

A source told Metro that Brooklyn is keen to patch things up with his father and was sad not to attend his big bash.

‘Brooklyn feels disappointed in himself for not attending David’s 50th birthday party,’ they said. ‘He wants things to go back to how they were, but it feels as if the divide has separated the family deeply.’

And an insider explained that Victoria was desperately hoping her son will ‘come around’.

‘She’s hoping Brooklyn will come around and see things for what they are,’ they said. ‘They’ve always been a close-knit family and seeing how things are now has been devastating for Victoria and David.’

Not only did he miss the party, but he wasn’t on David’s ‘boys’ fishing trip with Cruz and Romeo – something the former footballer acknowledged on social media, tagging Brooklyn in pictures from their trip and saying: ‘You were missed.’

Brooklyn also remained silent on Father’s Day and did not mention the former footballer’s knighthood on social media, but fueled further speculation when he later posted a sweet message for his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, on his birthday.

Brooklyn and Nicola’s dinner with Harry and Meghan

It was recently claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle invited Brooklyn and Nicola to dinner to show their support.

It’s said they extended an ‘unexpected invite’ to the young couple, as they bonded over similar ‘toxic’ family experiences, as a source told The Sun that the quartet dined at the Sussexes’ £11million mansion in Montecito, California.

It’s claimed ‘Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar, while Meghan and Nicola found ‘common ground’ after both parties were accused of causing a rift in their husbands’ families.

In May, Brooklyn appeared to take something of a dig at his parents, as he shared a video of himself and Nicola on Instagram with a caption vowing to always ‘choose [her]’.

He wrote: ‘My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.’

In response, Cruz posted a message dedicated to his mum, dad, and siblings on his own Instagram story.

The 20-year-old shared a photo of himself alongside David and Victoria, as well as Brooklyn, 22-year-old brother Romeo, and 13-year-old Harper.

In what fans believe was a display of whose side he’s on, he wrote: ‘I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.’

Fans think they spot Cruz and Romeo Beckham’s ‘dig’ at sister-in-law Nicola Peltz

Speculation swirled among fans in May who believed Romeo and Cruz Beckham mocked their sister-in-law, Nicola Peltz, online.

On April 7, Romeo shared a series of photos to Instagram, prompting Cruz to comment, ‘So beautiful Romeo .’

Moments later, Cruz followed up with several laughing emojis, which many fans interpreted as a hint of sarcasm.

Online sleuths quickly pointed out the similarity to a comment Nicola Peltz made just two days earlier.

On April 5, model Mia Regan posted photos from a POP Magazine shoot, to which Peltz had commented, ‘So beautiful mia .’

Brooklyn Beckham covers a tattoo dedicated to mum Victoria

But it’s now been covered up by an image of Nicola’s wedding bouquet (Picture: Instagram)
The eldest Beckham boy proudly sports what he believes to be 100 tattoos, following in his football legend father’s footsteps by getting inked as soon as he could.

His designs mostly include tributes to Nicola, but there are also a few nods to his parents, such as ‘Mum’ in a heart on his shoulder and ‘Joseph’ in cursive writing on his forearm, which is his middle name handed down from David.

The former model has now covered up a tattoo he had done for Victoria in his early days of going under the needle.

He used to have ‘mama’s boy’ in a typewriter-style font over his heart, referencing their close relationship.

But in June, it was revealed that the words have been hidden within a sketch of Nicola’s bouquet from their wedding day.

Brooklyn appears to unfollow brothers Cruz and Romeo

The budding chef’s bond with brothers Cruz and Romeo Beckham came into question in July, after it was revealed that the brothers no longer followed each other on Instagram.

Romeo and Cruz also appeared to unfollow Nicola Peltz three years after she joined the family.

However, sources close to the 26-year-old denied he is the one who unfollowed his brothers.

‘Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It’s possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers,’ the insider told The Sun.

‘He and Nicola certainly didn’t unfollow them or block them – they’re as confused as anyone else. The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on,’ they added.

Nicola and Brooklyn renew their vows – without his family

Three years on from their wedding day, Nicola and Brooklyn pledged new promises to one another in a vow renewal ceremony. However, it seemed his parents weren’t present at the August 3 ceremony.

Brooklyn’s Instagram followers spotted that not only were Victoria and David absent, but that Nicola’s dad Nelson officiated the ceremony.

A source told The Sun: ‘This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited.

Nicola’s dad officiated the ceremony (Picture: Instagram)
His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them.’

The source added: ‘It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy – and see no way back.

‘Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the ‘Beckham’ surname – will he revert to Peltz? August 2nd 2025 – is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family? It certainly feels like it.’

Meanwhile, Victoria and David vacationed in St. Tropez with their other four children while Brooklyn remained in the States.

Victoria Beckham’s new documentary offers more questions than answers

Victoria’s new self-titled Netflix documentary got quite personal, and fans were sure it might finally address the Brooklyn feud directly.

But the new three-part series, from the Emmy award-winning directors of her husband David’s series BECKHAM, gives viewers a front row seat as we watch Victoria evolve from a self-proclaimed ‘loner’ child to preparing for her Spring/Summer show at Paris Fashion Week -but it essentially ignores the existence of Brooklyn.

A sense of anticipation builds as you await a bombshell explanation in the final scenes about his noticeable absence from the documentary. But beyond flashbacks to their earlier years living in America, the eldest of the Beckham children doesn’t appear at all, creating even more questions.

Victoria shared an emotional message after husband David and kids Harper, Cruz, and Romeo supported her at Paris Fashion Week.

The fashion designer debuted a new collection at the semi-annual designer presentation, which continues until October 9.

Her Spring/Summer collection received its grand unveiling on Friday night, with the runway event being an invite-only display according to the Federation de la Haute Couture.

Photographers who caught the Beckhams’ arrival noted that the eldest Beckham son, Brooklyn, 26, had opted to skip another family event.

After the show was over, Victoria posted a group photo of David, Harper, Romeo, Cruz, and Cruz’s partner, Jackie Apostel, accompanying the post with an emotional caption.

‘I love you all so much… I couldn’t do it without you!’ she posted to her 33million followers, with the Beckham family all wearing happy smile – but still with Brooklyn nowhere to be seen.

Cruz claims Brooklyn ‘blocked’ their parents

Just days before Christmas, Cruz responded to reports that David and Victoria had suddenly unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram, insisting all wasn’t as it seemed.

Cruz, 20, was quick to address the claims, taking to his Instagram to write: ‘NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.’

Brooklyn now no longer follows any immediate family members, but does follow his grandparents, David’s mum and dad Ted and Sandra. He also follows his aunts, David’s sisters Lynne and Joanne.

From his mum’s side, Brooklyn follows his grandmother Jackie Adams, and Victoria’s sister Louise.

The move comes after it was reported that Brooklyn won’t be spending Christmas with his family this year, despite David sharing an olive branch to his son earlier this week.

BBC viewers were left in tears by Sarra Hoy’s extraordinary gesture as she faced her own heartbreaking diagnosis. Just a short time after her husband received his terminal prognosis, Sarra discovered that she herself had an aggressive, fast-progressing form of multiple sclerosis. Even so, throughout the documentary, audiences watched as she consistently put Chris first, describing being able to walk alongside him on this journey as “the greatest privilege of my life”

BBC viewers were left in tears by Sarra Hoy’s extraordinary gesture as she faced her own heartbreaking diagnosis. Audiences could not hide their emotion after watching the powerful new documentary about Sir Chris Hoy’s terminal cancer battle — but the person who truly touched the nation’s heart was his wife, Sarra Hoy, who was also dealing with an aggressive MS diagnosis. Gravely ill herself, Chris Hoy’s wife still chose to do this — and the whole of Britain was moved to tears

BBC audiences have been left deeply moved after watching a powerful new documentary charting Sir Chris Hoy’s terminal cancer battle — with many saying it was his wife Sarra Hoy who truly stole their hearts.

The BBC One documentary Chris Hoy: Cancer, Courage and Me offers an intimate look into the couple’s lives as the six-time Olympic gold medallist confronts Stage 4 cancer, after being told in 2023 that he had between two and four years to live. Scans revealed his prostate cancer had spread to his shoulder, pelvis, ribs and spine — a moment Chris described as nothing short of “a waking nightmare”.

Yet just weeks after receiving her husband’s devastating prognosis, Sarra was handed her own life-altering diagnosis: an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis. Despite this, viewers watched in awe as she consistently placed her focus on supporting Chris, describing standing by him through his illness as “the greatest privilege of my life”.

Reflecting on her own diagnosis, Sarra explained that the shock of Chris’s cancer had completely eclipsed everything else. She said the world had been so “upside down” by the news about her husband that her MS diagnosis felt like “just another moment in time”, adding that she preferred it that way because “talking about Chris” mattered more.

She revealed how the children’s fears surfaced quickly, with unspoken worries about whether their father might die, whether they could catch cancer, or whether they had somehow caused it. To help them cope, Sarra came up with a simple yet profoundly moving idea centred around a cherry blossom tree in their garden.

Realising that Chris’s chemotherapy would end around the time the tree bloomed, the family painted a large bare tree and added pink blossoms to it each day — symbolising Chris regrowing and recovering. Sarra said the ritual was as much for her husband as it was for their children, helping them all believe that even when something is stripped bare, it can grow again.

Chris paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife during the documentary, saying she never seeks attention but deserves every ounce of it. He admitted he could not imagine coping without her, calling Sarra “an amazing person”.

Viewers flooded social media with emotional reactions, praising Sarra’s compassion, resilience and selflessness. Many described the documentary as difficult to watch but deeply inspiring, with one viewer saying that while Chris is a hero on the track, Sarra is “a truly remarkable woman” off it.

Christine Lampard opened the latest instalment of Loose Women with news that Constance Marten and Mark Gordon had both been jailed for 14 years for the death of their baby.

The couple were convicted of gross negligence manslaughter earlier this year after the body of their baby girl, Victoria, was found in a shopping bag in a disused shed.

Opening Tuesday’s episode (September 16) of the ITV show, Christine said: “First today, the couple who caused the death of their newborn baby have been sentenced to 14 years each in prison. Constance Marten and Mark Gordon went on the run in late 2022 with their daughter to evade social services.

“The next year, their baby was found dead in a shopping bag. At yesterday’s sentencing, Constance’s mother made a plea for clemency, writing to the court that the cruel labels did not reflect the daughter she remembered.

“However, the judge ignored the plea, accusing Constance and her partner of showing no genuine remorse.”

“It’s an awful story from start to finish,” the TV star said as her fellow panellists Janet Street-Porter, Brenda Edwards, and Mariella Frostrup looked on.

Janet said: “I think with Constance Marten, I’ve been following the case really closely, and I’ve noticed a lot of very distinguished female writers in serious newspapers follow this trial and try to get inside the head of Constance Marten and try to understand what motivated her and, you know, what are the rules that she led her life by and why did she make the choices that she did, because she’d had four children before this one.

“Anyway, I think that all the profiles that I read of her seem to come to the conclusion that Constance Martin lives almost in a parallel world, that she displayed no emotion, that she seemed to get irritated at times during the trial, as if she was somehow apart from it.”

Janet also suggested that “we as a society are very judgmental about women who commit terrible crimes”.

“I’m not belittling this,” she said. “This is a terrible, terrible crime. But we seem to just look at the mugshot of Constance Martin and form an opinion about her. And our opinion is she doesn’t have feelings. She doesn’t have remorse.

“And we felt like that about Myra Hindley because her police mugshot was so appalling, she became the poster girl for the Moors Murders.”

Holly Valance has drawn significant public attention after being photographed with activist Tommy Robinson during the large “Unite the Kingdom” gathering in London — an event that attracted a crowd estimated at more than 100,000 people and resulted in multiple arrests throughout the day.

The former Neighbours star was seen placing her arm around Robinson at the event, where she commented on what she described as his “personal turnaround”. Valance, who wore a red cap featuring the slogan “Mega” (“Make England Great Again”), has become a visible supporter of Reform UK and its political platform in recent years.

The 42-year-old actress and singer was among thousands who attended the demonstration, during which police confirmed that 24 individuals were detained for alleged public-order offences. Valance’s involvement comes at a time when her estranged husband, property developer Nick Candy, has taken on a financial role within Reform UK after previously leaving the Conservative Party.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph Australia, Valance described the event as “historic” and suggested it represented a shift in public feeling. She expressed admiration for the crowd’s rendition of the hymn Jerusalem and claimed that millions of people nationwide had shown unity during the weekend gathering.

The demonstration, which took place around Parliament Square, included speeches, a heavy police presence and, at times, tense interactions between attendees and counter-protest groups. Between 110,000 and 150,000 people were reported to have been present across central London, while thousands of campaigners advocating for equality and anti-discrimination issues held a separate counter-event nearby.

Tensions escalated when officers attempted to prevent demonstrators from moving toward the counter-protest area. Items were thrown, and several confrontations occurred, prompting more than 100 helmeted officers and mounted police to intervene. A number of officers sustained injuries.

Following the event, Sir Keir Starmer criticised the use of the national flag in ways that, he said, amplified division, and condemned the violence observed during the clashes. He added that the Government would not condone attacks on police officers.

The gathering also saw unexpected appearances from figures who have gained substantial international attention online. Among them was Elon Musk, who addressed the crowd and later joined Robinson on stage for an interview about political issues, public policy and the direction of the country. Several international commentators and political figures were also present.

Valance has been seen at several political events in both the UK and the United States in recent years, including a visit to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and a fundraising event in London. She rose to fame portraying Felicity “Flick” Scully in Neighbours, enjoyed chart success with several hit songs and reached the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.

Her personal life has remained in the public eye following reports earlier this year that she and Nick Candy were separating after 13 years of marriage.

Saturday’s gathering — with its large turnout, strong emotions and high-profile attendees — has reignited debate about political division in the UK. Holly Valance’s presence has placed her at the centre of that discussion, ensuring she remains a topic of national conversation.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Amber Davies ‘to miss final’ in heartbreaking blow

Bookmaker odds suggest Strictly Come Dancing star Amber Davies could be in danger of missing out on the final of the BBC series

Strictly Come Dancing’s Amber Davies could face a devastating exit before the BBC show’s final.

Each week, bookmakers have been forecasting which celebrity will be the next to leave the dance floor, and it appears both Amber and Balvinder Sopal are in the danger zone.

Despite being the bookies’ favourite to exit for several weeks, Balvinder has so far managed to avoid elimination. However, this weekend could see her luck run out.

According to exclusive odds from Betway, Balvinder is once again the most likely to depart this weekend, with odds standing at 250/1.

Love Island’s Amber is not far behind, with odds of 33/1, suggesting that both stars may not make it to the final of the popular BBC series, reports the Mirror.

Karen Carney is currently leading the pack as the favourite to win, closely followed by George Clarke in second place.

Lewis Cope is also vying for a spot in the final, hoping to clinch the coveted Glitterball Trophy.

Last weekend saw Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe bow out of the competition after a dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.

Both pairs reprised their routines; Alex and Johannes danced their Cha Cha to Anita Ward’s ‘Ring My Bell’, while Balvinder and Julian performed their Jive to Maxine Nightingale’s ‘Right Back Where We Started From’.

The judges were split on who to send home, but ultimately, it was announced that Alex’s Strictly journey had come to an end.

When Tess inquired about her experience on the show, Alex responded, “I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would last this long. It’s been just the most incredible journey for me.

“I feel quite proud of myself because I’ve loved the process, I mean 100%, you can tell by my smile. Everyone always says that their dance partner is a friend for life, but JoJo really will be.”

“As far as the dancing goes, I think we’ve achieved what we wanted to achieve. These memories are just the beginning for us; we can say that we are very much a Strictly family.”
