Victoria Beckham reveals how she and David keep the spark alive

David and Victoria Beckham have been married for 25 years and she has detailed what keeps the fires burning – after revealing that his snoring has become a big problem!

Victoria Beckham says it’s the little things that keep her and husband David going strong.

Posh, 51, has detailed how they keep the spark alive after more than a quarter of a decade as a married couple – and the usually straight-faced star insists she’s the funny one in the relationship. David and Victoria’s love story is one of the focuses of her new Netflix documentary, which also covers her move from a singer to a successful fashion designer.

As the show hits screens, she has given a rare insight into her life with David and revealed she has to wear ear plugs because of his snoring. While she steered clear of referencing the very public feud with their son Brooklyn, Victoria had plenty to say about her husband.

Victoria, mum to Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12, believes it’s the small things that matter and said: “I think we just really care about each other, we leave notes and stuff like that. He’s going away tomorrow so I put all his little vitamin bags together, I assemble all the little bags for him.

“Sometimes he’ll cook dinner and does all these kind of things,” she said in an interview with The Sun. “We still have a lot of fun together; the other weekend we went to our local in the country and had a lovely lunch – we do normal things and he makes me laugh. I think this is the most important thing.”

David and Victoria’s love story has been in the headlines ever since they first started dating. From the original story of how they met, to David’s alleged affair with Rebecca Loos is hot topic still. At one moment during the documentary, Victoria says her husband is at least partly to blame for her looking so unhappy.

As they got ready to go out, she said: “Here’s a fact, I’ve looked miserable for all these years, because when we stand on the red carpet, this guy [Becks] has always gone on the left. Okay.

“Now I didn’t realise that when I smile, which I do! I smile from the left, because if I smile from the right I look unwell. So consequently I’m smiling. I’m smiling on the inside, but no one ever sees it, so that’s why I look so moody.”

Body language expert Judi James has now given us an insight into David and Victoria’s longstanding romance and how they’ve got through some of the toughest times together. Speaking about how the pair’s dynamic has shifted over the years, Judi exclusively explained to The Mirror: “One thing that has clearly endured throughout the Beckham’s long and chequered relationship is their ability to role-shift.

“Even at the height of both their fame she would act like his besotted fan when he was the star of an event, and he would do the same for her. There was never any sign of success envy and here we can see them complimenting each other and switching their body language signals of status and power up and down accordingly.”

Annabelle Knight, Sex and Relationships expert at Lovehoney, added: “David and Victoria Beckham’s love story has always felt like something out of a movie. He was the golden boy of football, she was Posh Spice – one of the most recognisable women in the world – and yet when they met, there was this instant spark and sense of partnership.

“You could tell they adored each other’s drive, ambition and humour. That early connection set the tone for everything that followed – a relationship built on mutual respect as much as attraction. What people love about their relationship is that it feels real. They’ve had their fair share of ups and downs, and yet they’ve always come out stronger.”

Despite the “set up” nature of Victoria and David’s chat in their Cotswolds home, Judi says one thing is clear about their bond and romance; that they compliment each other so well.

Robbie Williams in sweary Taylor Swift rant as he performs in 600-capacity venue

Singer Robbie Williams opens up about Taylor Swift during the smallest show of his career which ended at 1am, as well as his wife Ayda and Oasis

Singer Robbie Williams has told for the first time how he delayed his album to avoid a chart battle with Taylor Swift as he performed the smallest gig of his career. The star also opened up about wife Ayda, his feud with Oasis and daughter Teddy during the two-hour show at London’s Dingwalls, which ended at 1am.

Robbie showed off his new beefed-up physique to the 600-strong crowd during the electric gig, saying: “I want to perform as Robert this evening…and it turns out Robert is in really good, f****** shape.” He then admitted that the decision to move his new album Britop to February was after Taylor Swift released The Life of a Showgirl, and he had been aiming for a record-breaking 16th Number One album.

He said: “We had to make a decision because Taylor Swift….we are all pretending its not about Taylor Swift but is f****** is. It is isn’t it? Here’s the truth right….I want 16 number one albums. Taylor decided to put her album out the same week as me and I thought: ‘for f***’s sake.” I was like: ‘can I put it out the next week’ and they said ‘she does these other deluxe versions’ and I thought: ‘f****** hell, can I put it out the week after that then, and they said it’s Oasis [live album from Wembley]. I thought: ‘for f****’s sake, I will do it in f***** February when nobody has got a f****** album out.’ I was worried about making you all f****** wait but then I thought f*** it I want a 16th Number One album. I am sorry but I am f****** being selfish. How many times in your life do you get to have the most UK Number Ones albums anyone has ever had.”

He also hit out at long-standing rival Noel Gallagher, who he famously feuded with in the 1990s. After joking about the similarity of his new song Spies to Oasis’ song Champagne Supernova, he began singing the latter song before adding: ““You wouldn’t believe the amount of times that melody changed in that chorus because it sounded like the song that it still f****** sounds like. It’s totally f****** different Noel. Don’t have a brass neck and sue me….all the f****** things you’ve nicked.”

On wife Ayda – who was in the audience – he said he had written song Pretty Face about her. He said: “We spend a lot of time on tour away from each other…I get star-struck looking at the beauty of my wife. This song is about her, and my favourite line is the one which says: ‘and the biggest prize is what’s behind those eyes.’ And its true. She may be pretty as f*** but she is smart as f*** too.”

He also opened up about his daughter Ted’s musical talent. “My eldest daughter Theodora Rose turned 13 last month, and she is always writing songs. She was able to do it as a six and seven year old. She just makes some melodies and they fall out of her like a fountain.”

The gig coincided with Robbie announcing a run of shows in England and Scotland that will coincide with the album release. The Long 90’s Tour kicks off in Glasgow at Barrowlands Ballroom on February 4 2026, with Williams playing Liverpool Olympia on the day of the album’s release, February 6.

The 51-year-old will also play 02 Academy Brixton in London on February 8 and Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall on February 9. The tour announcement coincides with the release of Williams’ latest single, Pretty Face.

Musicians including Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Supergrass’ Gaz Coombes, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Williams’ former Take That bandmate Gary Barlow appear on the album. The Britpop cover shows Williams in his red tracksuit outfit that he wore to attend Glastonbury Festival in 1995, at the height of the Britpop era.

Fans who pre-order ‘BRITPOP’ from the Robbie Williams store will receive early access to tickets for the new live dates. Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday 28th November. More information at britpop.robbiewilliams.com

Jeremy Clarkson’s savage swipe as star ‘leaves’ Diddly Squat for new project

Kaleb Cooper is heading to Australia on a new farming adventure for Amazon Prime Video – and his boss in Chipping Norton, Jeremy Clarkson, had some choice words about the move

Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper’s recent career news prompted his co-star and boss, Jeremy Clarkson, to take a savage swipe at him on Thursday (October 9). Diddly Squat farmer Kaleb took to Instagram to reveal he’s embarking on adventure on the other side of the world to work on a new Prime Video show.

“I’ve got some news!” he exclaimed. “I’m going to be going down under/to Australia to film my very own series on Prime Video. You know hard it is for me to leave Chippy so flying to Australia is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone. But I’m on a mission to see if I can make my farming contracting business go international.”

Meanwhile, 65-year-old Jeremy was quick to respond with an hilarious message for his most famous employee.

“I’m so happy about this,” he said. “Because finally I can run my farm without him mucking everything up.”

One Clarkson’s Farm fan told Jeremy in reply: “I’m pretty sure he is probably thinking the same about you haha.”

Kaleb’s wife, Taya, also weighed in. The mum-of-three, who appears not to be journeying to Australia with Kaleb at this point, said: “Peace and quiet for me! Gonna miss you really. So proud of you for doing something way out your comfort zone! Can’t wait to hear all about it!”

Hundreds of other Instagram users wished Kaleb well, including one who wrote: “Congratulations mate – you are gonna love Australia – some of it will feel like home but just with funny accents… some of it really won’t. I have no doubt you will throw yourself fully into the experience. Good luck and be safe.”

Meanwhile, a second person declared: “You got this Kaleb! Looking forward to seeing you take on barren deserts and dense outback foliage. The flight will be a piece of cake; get Prime/Amazon to upgrade you to first class and you’ll get your own little cabin to chill in for the 23-hour flight!”

Kaleb rose to fame on Prime Video in 2021, proving himself invaluable to Jeremy as he took up the challenge of running Diddly Squat farm in Oxfordshire.

Jeremy revealed in his own Instagram post last week that the filming of Season Five of Clarkson’s Farm had just “wrapped”. It is set to air in 2026, although the exact date has not yet been announced. Kaleb will still feature on the new series.

Prime Video’s synopsis of his forthcoming programme states: “With aspirations to grow his business, Kaleb will experience farming at a scale he’s never encountered before -stretching thousands of acres across Australia’s vast landscape.

“Throughout his journey, Kaleb will meet his Australian peers and immerse himself in the local culture while exploring how farmers operate in this challenging environment.

“Viewers will see Kaleb taking on new challenges that are a world away from his familiar routines in Chipping Norton.

“And it’s no holiday-Kaleb won’t shy away from the gritty realities of farm work while he’s out there-blisters, burns, backaches and all.”

BBC presenter sacked over ‘deeply inappropriate’ segments that went ‘beyond innuendo’

Former BBC presenter Jack Murley is seeking £48,000 in compensation after he was sacked over ‘deeply inappropriate’ radio segments that went ‘well beyond innuendo’

A BBC presenter has said he thought he was acting within the broadcaster’s guidelines after he was sacked for “inappropriate” radio segments. Jack Murley was employed by BBC Radio Cornwall from 2019 until he was taken off air in 2023.

He worked in Truro until a “heated conversation” with his boss over his social media use. Murley believed he was “acting within the BBC’s social media guidelines”, a tribunal heard.

He had shared his views on social media since 2022 about the BBC’s Local Value For All project. Questions were also raised about his radio segment, Loosest Goose, which was a satirical show that included innuendo.

At the disciplinary hearing, it was described as being “deeply inappropriate” and “well beyond innuendo”. A BBC senior news editor told the tribunal they had been “clear and straightforward decision” to consider the case as “gross misconduct.”

Murley said he would have been willing to make changes to his show or “undertake training” to keep his job. He told the tribunal if concerns were raised, he would have acted to address them.

The presenter is seeking £48,000 in compensation. The BBC said they removed Murley from his post because of a “heated conversation” with his manager.

Murley said the row stemmed from his social media use. A BBC Wales senior news editor was at the hearing and said social media posts were viewed in the same light as a broadcast.

Tomos Livingstone described the Loosest Goose as “awful” and told the hearing it “shouldn’t be broadcast on radio Cornwall at midday on a Sunday”.

The editor said Murley “should have had the knowledge and experience to be compliant with the guidelines.” He added that it had been a “clear and straightforward decision” to consider the case as “gross misconduct”.

Livingstone said the BBC felt Murley had been too great a “risk” to the corporation. Murley’s disciplinary hearing went to appeal and the hearing manager upheld the decision.

BBC Northern Ireland director Adam Smyth said the corporation has to “be sure that our presenters are trustworthy.” Mr Smyth told the tribunal that Murley was “effectively working off grid”.

Murley told the tribunal he had several examples of managers endorsing his innuendo in his radio show. The former presenter said after 13 years with the BBC, it was not “reasonable” to leave immediately after no previous causes for concern.

He questioned how he was to know the show had breached guidelines and said: “I thought I was in the right. I think there was a way back, I wanted to stay at the BBC, I loved the BBC.” The tribunal continues.
