Winterwatch star Chris Packham shared a heartbreaking family realisation. The 64-year-old says he and his sister, fashion designer Jenny Packham, both grew up trying to “satisfy” their parents.
Chris says his mum Rita and dad Colin put a “disproportionate amount of interest” in his own education, leading Jenny to “rebel” against them. However both grew up feeling as though they were “underachievers”, something Chris says made them work harder to “overachieve”.
By the time he became a teenager Chris says he “gave up” trying to impress his parents. On the Homing podcast, he recalled a moment he told Rita he had won a category in a photography contest, only for her to ask if he’d won the whole thing, before saying he can “keep trying”.
The TV presenter went on to say it was an attitude he felt was “harsh” but admits he “doesn’t think it was a bad thing”. When asked if Colin and Rita had ever said they were proud of him, Chris replied: “I don’t recall it to be fair.
” My father was a very fair man, you know. My father was a very fair man but he never saw a job as being finished. If you did something there was always obviously the next step.
“So my dad would acknowledge that I had taken a step but then he would always be interested in what are you going to do next. ‘ Okay, top work, that’s good, now what are you going to move on to? ‘
” It was always about the next thing, and I think that’s a fair point, I’m not particularly interested in the past, I think I haven’t really achieved the things I wanted to achieve but I’m still trying. “
Chris however believes it is the early work ethic installed by his mum and dad that drove himself and Jenny to the height of their careers. He added:” We were two working class kids, we didn’t have anything, if we hadn’t got up and started doing stuff and worked really hard and believed in a meritocracy and invested in things where we thought we could develop skills and attributes that would allow us to achieve some of the things that we may have wanted to achieve then without that background of needing to always good the extra mile, hundred miles, neither of us would be doing what we’re doing. “
Colin, according to Chris, is what gave birth to his passion for the outdoors. He claims that the pair would “go looking for wildlife or historical remnants” on Sunday morning.
After graduating from college, he took up the position of a part-time cameraman. Before moving on to work on Ourselves and Other Animals, he began his major career in 1983 with The Living Planet and The Living Isles.
Continue reading the article.
His career however took a turn in 1986 when he went on to land a presenting job on The Really Wild Show with Michaela Strachan and Martin Hughes-Games. The long-running children’s TV show had a nine-year spell on the BBC.
He has helmed the BBC’s Springwatch and its fall and winter sister shows since 2009, respectively. Chris will be on BBC Two’s Winterwatch tonight (January 20) starting at 7 p.m.
Brooklyn Beckham has fired a series of explosive allegations at his parents in a shocking six-page statement – including the claim that his mother Victoria danced ‘inappropriately on him’ after ‘hijacking’ his first dance with new wife Nicola Peltz

Brooklyn Beckham’s feud with his family exploded on Monday night when he took to Instagram to make a series of blistering allegations against his parents – and now one guest at his now-contentious wedding has spoken out.
The 26-year-old shared a six-page statement laying out in extraordinary detail his anger with David and Victoria. His allegations include claims that his parents tried to derail his wedding to Nicola Peltz, that his fashion designer mother “cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour”, and that his family values “public promotion and endorsements above all else”. He wrote: “Brand Beckham comes first,” adding that “family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media”.

Perhaps one of the most extraordinary allegations is that not only did Victoria hijack his first dance with Nicola at their wedding, but that she “danced very inappropriately” on her son. “My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song,” Brooklyn claimed.
“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. In front of everyone, she danced very inappropriately on me. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment. “
Now a guest who was present at the nuptials – held in April 2022 at Nicola’s family’s Oceanfront Palm Beach estate – has revealed their account from that moment. And they are backing Brooklyn.

Stavros Agapiou (right in the photo) is the partner of top British DJ Fat Tony (left), who was asked to perform at the reception. He spoke about the much-talked about dance in an Instagram comment, writing: “I was there and she did, he’s telling the truth. ” The bombshell comment has since been deleted and Stavros has instead posted, “Good on him for finally speaking out! “
It’s not the first time Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding dance has made headlines. A report from People in May 2025 claimed that Victoria made Nicola cry after taking over the dance. “Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding.
Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, ‘The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up, Victoria Beckham!'” a source said. Another source added: “It was such a jaw-dropping moment that it left the whole room in absolute shock — you could hear a pin drop.”
When Victoria began slow dancing with her son, guests were shocked, according to the report. One source claimed that one source thought it was inappropriate, while another claimed that Nicole had reportedly seen her leave the room crying. A source added: “Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Why, she couldn’t figure out, was what. “
However, Vogue has contradicted the claim – stating that the newlyweds’ first dance was to South African singer Lloyiso’s rendition of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love and that Marc Anthony took to the stage much later at 11pm to perform his track I Need To Know. According to the statement, “Brooklyn invited his mother to dance, and David and their 10-year-old daughter, Harper, were there.” “
David and Victoria are yet to comment on Brooklyn’s allegations, but sources close to the couple have told the Mirror that Victoria has been left heartbroken by their son’s actions, while David is ‘angry’. Victoria is shocked to pieces that her son would do this, Victoria says. Everyone is shocked, they said. “But Victoria is totally in pieces over this. She worries, too, that Brand Beckham’s career will end with accusations of falsehood and pretended relationships, just like David. They are concerned about what else he will release. “
I’ve been silent for years and made every effort to keep these things private, Brooke said in her explosive statement. Unfortunately, my parents and their team continue to target journalists, leaving me with no choice but to speak up for myself and expose only a small percentage of lies. I do not want to reconcile with my family. For the first time in my life, I’m standing up for myself instead of being controlled.
My parents have controlled the stories about our family that have been published in the press for my entire life. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I’ve seen with my own eyes how frequently they lie in the media, largely at the expense of innocent people, to maintain their own image. But I think truth is always revealed.
Since before my wedding, my parents have tried incessantly to break us, and they haven’t stopped. Despite her great enthusiasm for wearing her design, my mother had to rush out and buy Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
They resisted me signing before my wedding date because that would set off the agreement’s terms. The payday was affected by my holdout, and they haven’t treated me similarly since. During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me “evil” because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola’s Naunni at our table, because they both didn’t have their husbands. Our parents both had tables that were equally close to ours.
Members of my family informed me that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family” the night before our wedding. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I’ve received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders. My brothers and I were sent to fight each other on social media, but they never managed to stop me. My mother cheated on my wife’s first dance, which had been scheduled weeks in advance for a romantic love song.
“In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead. In front of everyone, she danced very inappropriately on me. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
No matter how hard we’ve worked together as a family, my wife has consistently been disrespected by my family. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable. Despite this, we were turned down for a week as we waited in our hotel room while planning meaningful time with my dad in London. With 100 guests and cameras circling every corner, he refused to cooperate with our attempts, unless it was at his grand birthday party.
“Nicola wasn’t invited when he finally agreed to see me,” he said. A slap in the face was used. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all. Prior to everything else, my family values public relations and endorsements. First is Brandy Beckham. Family “love” is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations.
“We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show “our perfect family!” But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused. The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.

Cruz Beckham has addressed his brother’s ongoing conflict. Brooklyn took to social media to express his entire family’s furor less than 24 hours later.
In a scathing Instagram post, the wannabe chef claimed that his family had attempted to control the narrative surrounding their relatives, as well as attempted to “ruin” his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
Brooklyn, 26, also asserted that Cruz and Romeo, his brothers, had blocked him on social media over the summer before unblocking him. Cruz has now spoken out despite his parents, Lady Victoria and Sir David Beckham, who have remained silent.
The 20-year-old budding musician appears to be thinking about the ongoing family drama as he posts to his own Instagram page. Cruz isn’t working as hard as he does as he gets ready for a number of intimate shows.

Before the gigs, he revealed that he had taken a photo of his guitar and was nestled in the recording studio. I do not want to reconcile with my family, Brooklym said on Monday. For the first time in my life, I’m standing up for myself instead of being controlled.
My parents have controlled the stories about our family that have been published in the press for my entire life. I was born into a life filled with performative social media posts, family events, and fake relationships. Recently, I’ve seen with my own eyes how frequently they lie in the media, largely at the expense of innocent people, to maintain their own image. But I think truth always emerges.
His family claimed that Nicola was “not blood” and “not family” the evening before his wedding to billionaire Peltz in 2022. “Brooklyn added: “I’ve been receiving endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press at their will,” since I started standing up for myself and my family. My brothers were sent to me on social media, but they never managed to stop me from happening this summer.
He continued, claiming that his family had allegedly “invited women from his past” into their lives and that they have consistently disrespected his wife. No matter how hard we’ve tried to come together as one, my wife has consistently been disrespected by my family. My mother has repeatedly eluded my past by inviting women into our lives in ways that were obviously meant to unease us both.
He furiously attacked his family, claiming that Beckhams place public perception preceding all other things. He said, “Brand Beckham comes first.

Brooklyn claims that for the first time in his life, he feels peace despite having been separated from his family for some time. He claimed on Instagram that his parents have largely controlled his life. I had a lot of anxiety growing up. That anxiety has vanished for the first time in my life since I left my family. Every morning, I feel content and content with the life I chose.
We don’t want our lives to be shaped by manipulation, press, or image. We only want our future families to have peace, privacy, and happiness.

Stacey Solomon has just proved that loungewear can be formal as well as comfortable. Get ready for an event, Stacey revealed to fans that she wanted to get dressed up, but just wanted to wear her comfy clothes, so she opted for a pink blazer and a pair of pink leggings to create a monochromatic outfit that looks chic without sacrificing comfort factor.
But she didn’t stop there, Stacey revealed exactly where her favourite leggings were from, telling her followers that she owns a pair in “every colour under the sun”. The lounge wear that’s captured Stacey’s heart and earned a spot in her wardrobe is these SINOPHANT High Waisted Leggings, which are on sale on Amazon for less than £20.

These leggings are available in a variety of versatile colours, including Stacey’s preferred pink, black, grey, nude and even patterned options. With a single pair costing £9.99, there are even multipacks available to shop, including a three-pair set of black, grey and navy for £18.69.
Stacey’s beloved SINOPHANT leggings feature a highly elastic design that caters to a wide range of body types, offering incredible adaptability for any figure, from those with larger thighs to petite frames, ensuring there’s a perfectly fitting pair of leggings for everyone.
Boasting buttery-soft material, these leggings promise an unparalleled level of comfort that’ll make you want to wear them all day, every day, just like Stacey. The smooth texture feels like a second skin, allowing for unrestricted movement, without being see-through.
The wide waistband provides tummy control and a streamlined look, flattening the stomach and accentuating the waistline, while the high-waisted style elongates the legs and offers a figure-flattering fit no matter how you style them.
Whether you’re heading to a daytime event, lounging around the house or spending some time at the gym, these leggings have got you covered. No matter what the occasion, they seamlessly meld modern workwear with a versatile, straightforward design that makes them look good or go out.
And Stacey is also singing their praises. The most comfortable leggings I’ve ever worn, says one customer beams! Super soft, stretchy, and comfortable despite its thickness. not transparent. I ordered a 4XL to play safe because I’m a plus-size 20-22, and it fits well and won’t break seams. It also has excellent quality and durability. They feel and look so lovely! Great leggings for a great price. This week, I’ll be purchasing more in each of their different colors. My new favorite piece of clothing”!
The best leggings I’ve ever owned, according to another shopper who adores these bestsellers. Comfortable and soft to wear. No pulling up constantly like other leggings do. Good tummy-friendly wide waistband. Good thickness and easy to see through. so simple to carry and maneuver around. You forget that you are wearing them. These are fantastic and have been given to me as gifts. Good value, almost always on offer when I purchase. Although they do share a complaint, they add, “No pockets in these, but if I recall correctly, I believe the same brand will separate ones with pockets.”

Another customer raves about how soft the leggings are, how comfortable they are on mother duty, and how forgiven they are on fat, bloated days. I secretly enjoy them because of their high waist and stretch, but I don’t want to buy maternity-specific leggings for pregnant women. My rather “charged” polyester jumper dresses don’t seem to have any static because the material is thick enough to show no inappropriate flesh. It’s also very soft.
The owner of a London-based film studio has spoken with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars about what it’s like to work there.

Renée Zellweger, the owner of a London film studio, receives her true opinion (Getty Images).
A British director has revealed what it’s really like to work with stars like Benedict Cumberbatch, Renee Zellweger, and Anthony Hopkins.
Frank Khalid OBE is well-versed in socializing with Hollywood’s elite. The 56-year-old owner of the UK’s most environmentally conscious production studio has a number of acclaimed blockbusters and TV shows, including Killing Eve, Ted Lasso, and Bridget Jones’s Baby.
The owner of West London Film Studios Parkside, Anthony Hopkins, called him “a bit of a joker.” He made the noises from his character in “The Silence of the Lambs” while sneaking behind my receptionist, scaring her one day.
He continued, “Renee Zellweger has such a big heart.
She noticed that the cast and crew had left a little bit of a mess in the canteen one day, so she helped clean it up with our staff.
West London Film Studios, which was founded in 2014, were established. The Parkside location just next door opened ten years ago. Frank’s state-of-the-art, eco-focused production site, which was built with sustainability in mind, cost an incredible £30 million.
It has ten engines that can produce power up to three megawatts, each housed in a substation. A one megawatt battery backup system supplies power to the studio at all times, keeping it safe from blackouts and energy surges.
Benedict Cumberbatch “loves how we’re the greenest studio in the UK,” Benedict said, and Idris Elba claimed he was really impressed that we generate electricity from home.
Numerous actors who worked for the renowned studio have gone on to earn awards, including prestigious Oscars. He remarked, “Having these big names] film at our studio is amazing.”
He continued, “I’m hoping to get Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio in the future.” It’s only a matter of time, I believe.
After showing interest several years ago, Frank is also interested in choosing Marvel to work for him. He’s currently concentrating on establishing himself as a top production company with an environmental conscience.
He said, “I built this from scratch, but my prior experience includes restaurants, wedding venues, and cash and carry.”
The council resisted the purchase of the building as a rental and decided to convert it into a hotel, which the council later opted to keep as a movie studio. I realized that I had a unique opportunity to develop something that the industry needed.
