David Beckham is set to receive his knighthood at Windsor Castle on Tuesday and his wife Victoria has agreed to adopt a new title. The former England captain’s honour was revealed in June as part of King Charles’ Birthday Honours list.

The Manchester United legend has reportedly been under consideration for a knighthood since 2011 and he will finally be dubbed a Sir by a member of the Royal Family today in recognition of his numerous contributions to sport and charity.

Beckham will also go by a different name, though, not just Beckham. His wife, former Spice Girl and fashion mogul Victoria, has also accepted a change of title in response to tradition.

Victoria will now be referred to as “Lady Beckham.” Despite being an optional formal adjustment, the 51-year-old has chosen to accept the title, which is given to a woman who is married to a man who holds the title of “Sir.”

Following the announcement that Beckham would at last receive the dream accolade, his partner shared a heartfelt message on Instagram.

She wrote next to a photograph of her hugging her husband: “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir David Beckham!

What a privilege, I can’t help but be proud of you. Your commitment to the things that matter most, including your family, your job, your passions, and most importantly, your country, has never faltered.

“The way you’ve touched so many lives with kindness and humility over the years speaks volumes about the man you are and continue to inspire us every day. But I’m so, so proud to call you mine before all else. I’m so in love with you.

Beckham was also moved when the announcement was made, telling PA: “Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.

“To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation.

He continued, “I’m so fortunate to be able to do the work I do, and I’m appreciative of being recognized for the work I do that gives me such great fulfillment.”

“I’m very proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family,” I said. “It will take a while for the news to come into focus.”

The footballing legend had been widely tipped for the honour and was reportedly set to receive a knighthood in 2022, but leaked emails from 2017 in which he purportedly criticised the honours system and its committee scuppered those plans.

Beckham allegedly insulted the committee, calling them “unappreciative c***s” and claiming to have not cared about getting knighted. These reports were criticized by Beckham’s team, who criticized them as being false and accused them of fabricating the facts.

Jonathan Bailey has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. He becomes the first ever openly gay man to be crowned the accolade and succeeds last year’s awardee John Krasinski.

The actor, 37, is seeing his year go from strength to strength after starring in Jurassic World Rebirth. He featured alongside Scarlett Johansson in the flick. And he is also set to hit the big screen in the Wicked sequel, Wicked: For Good.

He was also recognized by People as the Sexiest Man, to cap off an impressive calendar year. On Monday, Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show announced his accolade.

Jimmy unveiled the two upcoming cover designs for the issue during the presentation. Jonathan acknowledged that he is still “giggling” about his face being the cover and called the win “the honour of a lifetime.”

Jonathan discussed how he became the first openly gay man to hold the title. He told the host, “I’m kind of thrilled that People magazine invited someone in to bestow this honor on someone who can really cherish the value of a sexy man,”

And he further explained how he responded to the news in the article of the publication. He said, “It’s a huge honor.”

“I’m incredibly happy, of course. It is also completely absurd. I’m very excited for some friends and family to learn that it’s been a secret.

The actor, who won praise for playing Prince Fiyero in Wicked in September, revealed in September that he has decided to put his acting career on hold while working on his new LGBTQ+ charity.

The actor, who also appears in films like Bridgerton and Fellow Travelers, announced that he is leaving Hollywood to concentrate on a cause he founded in 2024. The Shameless Fund aims to assist LGBTQ+ people all over the world in living “freely and authentically.”

Speaking to GQ at the time, he said: “My acting career has been amazing and mind-blowing. But with everything happening in the world right now, I’ve decided to stop acting for a bit.”

He continued, “Over the next few months, I’ll be focusing on staffing and making sure we get all the right people in all the right places.”

Jonathan also emphasized how little charitable funding is provided to the LGBTQ+ community, continuing, “There is this statistic: only 1p of every £100 raised in the UK goes to the LGBTQ+ community. The Shameless Fund is exactly that, and you really have to dig to find solutions.

As well as his commitment to LGBTQ+ equality, his charitable work extends beyond his own set-up. He is a long-time supporter of Just Like Us, the charity behind the UK’s annual School Diversity Week.

The actor previously remarked, “School Diversity Week is a fantastic initiative that fosters the inclusive environment that every child deserves.” I wish I had School Diversity Week to remind me that it was acceptable to be myself as a child.

Former Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore admitted he is ‘ terrified ‘ to speak out but believes it is the right thing to do as he addresses his pornography addiction

View 2 Images

TV host Ore Oduba has revealed he is getting professional help for a porn addiction that began when he was aged just nine.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, spoke to podcaster Paul Brunson about his problem as he said he wanted to highlight the issue of children seeing sexual imagery on social media.

Ore said: “This is me putting my life as it is on the line, to save my ­children and to guide anybody else’s children going into a world where at their fingertips, they can fall into something they never asked to.”

He added: “Part of me is terrified, the vast majority is terrified because I feel like, personally, for me, the rest of my life begins the day after this, as it’s a kind of a seminal draw-the-line moment”.

Dad-of-two Ore said he was first shown adult images on a computer by a friend’s older brother. He said he was not immediately addicted but was intrigued, and it did not take long until he tried to find more and more images on TV, computers and in magazines – but he kept quiet about it because he felt shame.

The behaviour continued for decades with him keeping it separate from other elements of his life. On the We Need To Talk Podcast, he explained: “It’s very isolating. It was something that I just knew to be me. Just a part of me. Something that I would always go to to feel. If you ever felt worthless, if you ever felt rejected. It was always a thing.

” The reason that I felt like I needed to speak about this is because I wanted to be able to guide my own children when it comes to it, when it comes to them seeing stuff that is going to be there.

“They’re going to come across it in life, so many of life’s pitfalls, whether it’s drink, drugs, money. I was aware of the need to address it.

He continued, “One of the biggest problems we have societally is, in my opinion. Such a prevalence exists. It’s just so normal when we learn that 60% of kids discover it accidentally and that it appears on iPads. What will happen is that these children start self-educating themselves if we leave it.

From 2008 to 2013, Ore won the Strictly in 2016 and presented CBBC’s Newsround. Together with TV personality Portia Culmer, he has two sons named Roman and Genie. In 2024, the couple split up.

Ore added that one of his siblings, who was ten years old, was allegedly caught smoking, and their father threatened to send them to Nigeria to be educated away from their friends. Another factor contributed to his keeping his porn interest a secret because of this. He revealed earlier this year that his father passed away in 2023.

The Naked Truth organization’s spokesman said: “Ore’s story also emphasizes the value of safe family spaces where kids can freely discuss what they encounter online.

We applaud Ore for speaking up about this subject in such a sensitive and open manner.

Ore, a father-of-two, claims that a friend’s older brother first showed him adult pictures on a computer. He claimed he was intrigued but not immediately addicted, and that eventually he started looking for more and more images on TV, computers, and magazines, but he kept quiet because he felt bad about it.

He kept it a separate from other aspects of his life for the duration of the behavior. He continued, “It’s very isolating,” according to him on the We Need To Talk podcast. I was certain that it was who I was. just a small part of me. Something I would experience at every moment. If you’ve ever felt rejected or worthless. It was a fact of life forever.

“I felt like I needed to talk about this because I wanted to help my own children see the things that are going to be there,” he said.

They will encounter it in life, along with so many of life’s traps, whether it’s money, drugs, or alcohol. I was aware of the need to address it.

Since its inception, Craig Revel Horwood, a fav, has judged Strictly Come Dancing. He chats with Hannah Britt about haters, remodeling projects, and the unexpected dancer he would choose as his dance partner.

This year saw Craig Revel Horwood celebrate a very special birthday – the big 6-0. And, while rumours have been swirling around whether or not the Strictly Come Dancing judge will retire this year, I am pleased to report that it’s not on the cards just yet. To thank, we have his house renovation. “When I was 25 I took out my pension and began paying in £136 a month. I’ve been paying that ever since. I once said I’d like to retire at 50 and to be able to afford a bottle of Champagne every day… but that didn’t work out. Then I thought, well maybe I’ll retire at 60… but now I’ve just bought a new house and gutted it – and everything is so expensive. So I don’t think retirement is on the cards for me just yet.”

Craig recently became known as Sofology’s Head of Fusstomer Experiences, which is just how he is portrayed. As you’ll probably already be able to tell from watching me on Saturday nights, “I’m one of the fussiest people you’ll ever meet,” he says, “I’m not afraid to say if I don’t like something.” However, he is still in love after turning 60. Craig, a resident of Kingscliff, says, “I always forget until someone reminds me, like Anton du Beke likes to do live on television.”

At age 60, I feel great. I remember when I was 30 and thought that 60-year-olds were ancient, but I don’t feel that way. I’m also reminded of how old people are when they say they can only get older when they feel old. I’m still choreographing for 18- to 20-year-olds and performing them. Because I’m conversing with them, working with them, and having a laugh with them, it keeps me young and relevant. a member of the clan, the group, or the team. I am aware of all the jargon and keeps up with how young people speak.

He claims that dancing is no longer a sell-by date. Your career as a dancer was over, as it was when you were 30 years old, like a football player. After all, you can only perform the splits for a certain amount of time. However, according to Craig, “30 has turned into 50 today.”

In the 1970s, dancing was considered to be very ageist. You had to be a certain height and shape; once you reached that point, you were exiled and forced to leave. We were measured and weighed at places where I used to work, like Théâtre du Lido in Paris, while tying our G-strings. We had to be the same weight and 6 ft 2 each. Because it was so body-conscious, it can derail your mental health. I think I made a small escape from everything, and I was fortunate to leave.

However, they are currently teaching about nutrition, fitness, and injury recovery in dance schools. That never happened; if you were injured, you were simply benched or fired. Instead of escaping to the circus, dancing has become more of a profession. You can dance your entire life.

Since the show’s debut in 2004 and Craig’s participation on the judging panel for Strictly, Craig has been there for more than 20 years. He is the panel’s longest-serving judge. I think it’s great that a younger dancer is honored in this way. Everyone is celebrated, which is really important, in my opinion. I don’t understand why so many people in the press want to lower it. It’s unsettling.

Clickbait, I offer. “I don’t know what the obsession is with people clicking on absolutely every little thing. None of this was happening in the 70s and 80s – it didn’t exist when I was growing up and now it’s become a huge pressure,” says Craig, who grew up in Australia before moving to the UK aged 23.

Social media, too, is a topic that needs to be debated frequently, including whether it is destroying children’s lives. There is simply too much information available, and everyone has access to it at this very moment. Everyone is using that instead of their brains now that AI is in the spotlight. I used to research something using the encyclopaedia. Describe a volcano. I’d go look and see what you see. You now ask a question, and it is completely ignored.

He claims that this “unites people” strictly. Everyone on the show was able to say “thank you” in sign language after seeing Rose (Ayling-Ellis), who couldn’t hear the music but could only feel it. It turns into a habit, which is really important, in my opinion.

When Chris (McCausland) was blind and had to jump off chairs, “that really woke me up to how he has to live his life and the way he has to learn things,” he said. Ellie (Goldstein, the first Strictly contestant with Down Syndrome), we have now. Why are people buried in boxes? It’s disgusting, in my opinion. I’m all for having community, which is what Strictly is about.

La Voix is the first drag queen to join the lineup this year, and it’s for the first time. It advises putting on your mother’s heels and laughing. For children, there is color and movement. Conversations are opened and started by it. Every aspect of the community must be celebrated and brought together, according to Craig.

“I think we need to calm down in life. It has become a very woke world and I think Strictly has evolved out of any stereotypes. We’ve had boys dancing with boys, girls dancing together, and it’s great.

What other program brings people together in the same way? No matter what your job title or interests are, Strictly has a common thread that many people share. We have champions of snooker and Olympic snooker, as well as rugby players and football players. It starts off conversations and fosters friendships.

It has grown to be such a center. Many people look forward to it for many reasons. We make an effort to lift everyone’s spirits. That is the focus of it. Strictly doesn’t have a destination”!

One day we may even see him compete. “If I was a pro dancer… I’d like to be paired with Simon Cowell,” laughs Craig. “He’s smaller than me, so he’d have to go backwards. Wouldn’t we make a great team?”
