Brooklyn Beckham makes request to dad David in bid to ‘find peace at Christmas’

Following his mother Victoria’s liking of a post about him roasting a chicken, Brooklyn Beckham is said to have blocked his family on social media. This is the latest remark in the ongoing family feud.

Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz have reportedly asked David and Victoria to “back off” in the ongoing family feud.

It is understood they have made thr request in the hope it’ll bring them peace during the Christmas period, following a difficult 2025. The latest swipe in the saga came over the weekend when Brooklyn, 26, blocked his family on social media after mum Victoria liked a post about him roasting a chicken.

But it is believed Brooklyn and Nicola are “upset” about the reaction to this, including from his youngest brother Cruz, and now want David and Victoria “to leave them alone” during the holiday season. It is unclear how each of the family is spending Christmas Day this year.

The Beckhams could simply back off and leave them alone for the time being, according to a friend of theirs. Nicola and Brooklyn haven’t been commenting. They merely desire tranquility. It would be best for everyone because it doesn’t help them [the Beckhams] to stop contacting, commenting, and briefing.

They have requested that Beckhams withdraw. They simply want to be themselves. The speculation makes them angry. They are attempting to take the dangerous path of living simply by themselves.

Since Brooklyn first met Nicola, 30, an American aspiring actress and Nelson Peltz’s daughter, there has been trouble in the Beckhams’ home. Nicola accepted Brooklyn’s marriage proposal, but she was offended when Victoria promised to design her wedding dress before, according to reports, the project was put on hold.

Dim hopes of a reconciliation in the summer faded quickly, and now the situation has taken another bleak turn. The latest row over the Instagram stand-off has caused significant concern among Nicola and Brooklyn’s friends, according to the Daily Mail.

And sources close to David and Victoria told The Sun that the distance was “taking its toll”. The insider said: “His absence has really taken a toll on the special days – the knighthood – and now Christmas.

“Over their Christmas and New Year’s, it seems like Brooklyn has a ghost hanging.” They were together last year. The door is always open, and he’s always welcome, is what they’re communicating.

Jimmy Kimmel delivers brutal Christmas message after he was taken off air

The US chat show host Jim Kimmel praised a “really great year” in his recording of Channel 4’s 2025 Alternative Christmas Message.

US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel has said it has been a “great year” from “a fascism perspective” in his Christmas address.

The presenter, 58, was chosen to deliver Channel 4’s 2025 Christmas Message, an alternative to the monarch’s annual televised address on December 25. Jimmy, who was taken off air by Donald Trump earlier this year, is expected to say: “From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year.”

The comedian was suspended indefinitely in September following comments he made on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, an ally of the US President. Staff were reportedly “shocked” when the programme was yanked off air minutes before it was due to broadcast.

However, Mr. Trump’s decision caused the programmne to be immediately reinstated after Jimmy’s fans voiced their disapproval. Hollywood’s biggest stars and political figures have complained to the US administration about violating their right to free speech and the press.

Jimmy, who was born in Brooklyn, New York City, will continue to reflect on the recent events and share his own experiences and insights in the Christmas Day address. He was at the center of a story that shocked the US and its underlying democratic values.

A Channel 4 spokesperson said: “Donald Trump’s return to the White House and wide-ranging impact on the world has been the story of 2025 and it would be hard to think of a better person to address it than Jimmy Kimmel, who has found himself on the front line of America’s battle over free speech.”

The channel’s annual broadcast, which first aired in 1993, aims to bring viewers a message about that year’s events. Kimmel’s address follows on from previous messages delivered by a wide range of presenters, including comedian Chris McCausland who addressed ableism last year after becoming the first blind person to win Strictly Come Dancing.

He blatantly stated, “Discrimination is never a good thing. I suppose sometimes, I suppose. Before I started comedy, I applied to be a spy for MI5 many, many years ago. Out of 3, 000 applicants, I made the final 30. The top 1% of potential spies this nation had before they decided against it. They weren’t looking for a blind spy, but I think they were. I believe that discrimination can sometimes be harmful to a country’s safety, but in general, we can do better.

Helen Flanagan praises mum amid explosive fall-out with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair

Helen Flanagan, the star of Coronation Street, thanked her mother for supporting her in a furious and public split with Scott Sinclair, her ex-football player ex.

Helen Flanagan has praised her mother for her unwavering support amid her explosive falling out with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair. The Coronation Street icon and the Bristol Rovers winger were in a relationship for thirteen years.

Matilda, 10, Delilah, 7, and Charlie, their four-year-old son, are the former couple’s three children. However, after Scott, 36, traveled to Abu Dhabi to watch the Formula One-missing Charlie’s Nativity play, tensions have increased.

An incensed Helen, 35, publicly lashed out online, branding him “a piece of s**t” in a fiery Instagram Stories post. Helen has, however, been able to rely on her mother to help her with her home life as she has been starring in a production of Snow White in Liverpool in recent weeks.

Helen shared a photo of her mother, Julia, cuddling Charlie on Instagram over the weekend. The TV star wrote, “So grateful for my incredible mother who has cared for my kids for a lot of time while I’ve been working,” in a hushed caption.

She continued, “I’m so blessed to have you mom. You’re the BEST grandma ever.” Helen continued, “All the school activities, all the school work, all the washing.” I adore you.

As Scott and Helen co-parent in various counties, Helen has previously discussed how much her mother supports her. He lives like Somerset, according to her previous statement to The Sun. We live so far apart from one another, which is difficult to do when you have three young children.

She continued, “My mom is amazing. She really aids in raising my kids. I’m very fortunate to have that support.

Helen and Scott’s approach to raising their children together was revealed earlier this year. And she made it clear that communication was essential to ensuring that the children were aware of each other’s plans.

She stated to Closer magazine in June that despite coordinating gifts for their children, she isn’t afraid to exercise her will. She continued, “Oh, we need to talk about getting kids’ gifts.”

If we bought the same item, it would really irritate me. I’m not sure if Scott would actually shop for the kids; he’s a man. His mother probably does it, but he is completely useless. So I simply let him know what I’m purchasing, and that’s it.

Meanwhile, Helen shared snaps of herself with her children this weekend as they visited her at the theatre of her current production. Playing the wicked Queen in the panto at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, Helen is joined in the cast by X Factor star Sean Smith as the Prince and theatre star Ellis Lloyd as Snow White.

Helen was seen embracing her children in warm hugs after sharing photos of herself in costume. She wrote, “My babies, my babies,” in a sweet caption. My three absolute musts Happy but irate mummy

The performances are scheduled to last until Sunday, December 28th, at a price of between £28 and £65. Heather has been frequently sharing photos and videos with fans on her social media accounts and praising the show, “Having a ball… Come see us.”

Holly, a reality tv star, lost her heart following her sister’s tragic death in October. She acknowledged that Darci had tragically passed away, but she was unsure whether to share the news.

In November, Holly wrote on Instagram: “A little life update from last week. I wasn’t sure whether to share or not as honestly this is such a vulnerable time and I’m not really someone who sits and cries to the camera usually but this is the reality of where I’m at right now x.

The toughest four weeks of our lives have been and are still are. My parents and I both have different ways of handling this situation.

“I don’t think anybody realises how much this affects everybody in their lives, the amount of people that’s been affected by this is just absolutely mind blowing. Like, my world has stopped. Her parents’ world has stopped. We feel, like, stuck and then the world keeps spinning.”

She had to pause as she spoke because the subject was so important to her. She continued, “I can usually take my mind off it and do other things in the day… However, typically on a night that is “incredibly difficult,” “incredibly difficult for everyone,”

She acknowledged that she has long wanted to be content again, but she hasn’t yet mastered that. I feel “like weighed by lead,” I tell myself right now. She said, “I feel like I’m just so heavy, everything feels like it’s ten times harder to do.”

The teen “fell ill after taking drugs,” according to a later statement from police. According to Greater Manchester Police, “on Sunday, October 19, 2025, hospital staff called to the care of a 19-year-old woman who had taken drugs and had fallen seriously ill. Sadly, the woman died in hospital yesterday evening (20/10/2025).

At this difficult time, our thoughts are with her family. “We are still looking into this.

Brooklyn Beckham’s reason for blocking ‘heartbroken’ family on socials revealed

Today, Brooklyn Beckham reportedly blocked his family on social media because of a post that his famous mother, Victoria Beckham, liked.

Brooklyn Beckham reportedly blocked his family on social media after mum Victoria liked a post about him roasting a chicken. The 26-year-old unfollowed his famous parents, David and Victoria, on Instagram earlier today – the latest swipe from Brooklyn in the ongoing Beckham family feud.

Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz confirmed Brooklyn’s drastic move, revealing that he had blocked the whole family on Instagram. It was claimed that they unfollowed Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz in response to being unfollowed.

Cruz responded to the rumors by saying, “NOT TRUE. Never would my parents unfollow their son, according to my parents. Get the facts right, folks. They both woke up blocked, just like I did.

After Victoria liked a video of his talking about bringing a roast chicken, Brooklyn now reveals that he has blocked his family. He said, “I’ve been putting some rosemary butter around for the last 24 hours,” bringing a roast chicken to the camera.

In the video to promote the clothing line, he continued, “And that is my simple way of making a chicken breast, some potatoes, and vegetables in my Express.”

Many urged Brooklyn to reconcile with his parents after Victoria was discovered by fans. Victoria liked this post, too. Yay!!! One person said, “Family is everything.” “Go cook with your Dad,” another said. Looks delicious.

A third person said, “Your parents have just one life, and it’s very precious.” Fourth responds, “U sound and look your dad. Make a contact.

According to The Sun, Brooklyn became annoyed at his mum’s public display of affection and blocked the whole family – including dad David, brothers Romeo and Cruz and little sister Harper.

The Mirror has reached out to Brooklyn Beckham’s representatives for comment. As a result of being blocked, the Beckham family won’t be able to see any posts uploaded by Brooklyn in the future.

It is thought that Brooklyn won’t be joining the rest of his family at their £10million Cotswolds home for Christmas despite their efforts to extend an olive branch. Instead, they will be spending the festive season with Nicola’s family in Miami.

Brooklyn appears to have blocked them, announcing that this is final. A source told the press that it is very obvious that this indicates his complete separation from his family.

Brooklyn and Nicola were unable to attend David’s enormous 50th birthday party earlier this year, which is when the ongoing family feud started. Additionally, he made no public birthday wishes for his deceased relative on social media.

Love Island star quits showbiz for different career after hitting ‘rock bottom’

Former rugby player Jacques O’Neill has admitted he “hated himself” and has changed the course of his career after being perceived as the villain in Love Island season 8’s villain.

Love Island star Jacques O’Neill has turned his life around and begun a new career after leaving the showbiz world behind for something more fulfilling. The former rugby lad was regarded as season 8’s villain after his ‘toxic’ behaviour towards his partner Paige Thorne, causing backlash from fans of the ITV reality dating show.

But Jacques has found himself after hitting ‘rock bottom’ following his stint on Love Island, revealing that he’s discovered his true calling. The former bad boy is now a carer, who has formed a brotherly bond with a young man with disabilities.

He described his new career and credited the young men he works with with “saving” him. The influencer shared information on social media. “Everything only started to change when this boy, Denum, my best friend and little brother, who I love so much,” said the man.

Jacques, 26, now has access to multiple disabled clients, adding, “I started caring for these lads 4 times a week, and they gave me a reason to show up again.” They made a difference for me.

The actor opened up about his journey, sharing photos with fans in which he admitted to having a drinking problem and growing weight as a result. He declared, “I’m Jacques 26 and I’m resuming my life.” You never saw this section of my story.

Rugby has always been what I’ve known since I was a child. All I ever wanted to do was do it. Other than rugby, I had little else to care about. discipline . difficult to do. Respect . That was my entire masculinity identity.

I felt like I couldn’t take a break as my career just started to take shape, and each one injured me in a way that I didn’t realize at the time. I said “yes” when Love Island called, but for all the wrong reasons: I wasn’t mentally, emotionally, or mature; I was just a lost boy, so angry with the world.

Jacques went on: “But instead of working on myself, I got caught up in everything what came after the show, what I also wasn’t ready for, on Instagram it looked like I was living the dream, the car, the apartment. The travelling… hanging out with people who I thought I’d never even be in the same room as, working with brands that I wore since a kid it was all a bit crazy.

This wasn’t the real me; in fact, I felt more lost and empty than ever. I actually ended up despising myself that much that I had to drink to get through it week by week.

On another photo, Jacques can be seen drinking and looking worse off than he did on Love Island. Rock bottom continued, “Rock bottom was looking in the mirror without realizing who I was.” How did I become a professional athlete like this.

I embarrassed myself to be someone who couldn’t even take himself seriously anymore. I was aware that I had to change and that I couldn’t continue to live this way.

He continued, “From the moment I started caring for them lads, I rebuilt my body, my mind, and my standards.” I can now never lose myself again. I can endure.

“This is who I am right now. This chapter is for you if you’re also rebuilding yourself.
