David and Victoria Beckham’s son Romeo Beckham has issued a sharp response to his brother Brooklyn Beckham unfollowing him on Instagram, as the much-discussed Beckham feud continues to deepen.

The post from Romeo, 22, comes hours after the news broke that Brooklyn, 26, had unfollowed both himself and their brother Cruz Beckham on social media – as rumours of a feud in the Beckham clan ignite further with Brooklyn appearing to sever ties with his brothers.

Romeo posted a screenshot of his Spotify, showing he was listening to a song entitled Walking Away, from Justin Bieber’s new surprise album, titled Swag.

As he shared the screengrab he wrote: “Yup” in a one word response to his brother’s latest brutal move. He has also returned the favour by unfollowing Brooklyn on Instagram, too. Romeo also does not follow Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz, on Instagram either.

The feuding siblings’ brother Cruz, 20, also doesn’t follow Brooklyn on Instagram. The blunt and public statement from Romeo comes hours after it was reported Brooklyn had unfollowed him on Instagram.

Hot sauce entrepreneur Brooklyn still follows his famous mum and dad, so it is unclear if a war of words between himself and his brothers may have been happening behind the scenes. Despite still following his famous parents, Brooklyn has failed to appear at recent big family occasions or even acknowledge both his parents’ birthdays and his dad’s recent knighthood on social media.

The brutal move came shortly after Brooklyn appeared to offer an olive branch in the feud – as he and his wife Nicola posted a tribute to his little sister Harper Beckham on their Instagram stories to wish her a happy birthday.

Things are said to have been particularly tense between Romeo and Brooklyn as their bond appeared to deteriorate over the last few months following claims his younger brother’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull was the source of their falling out.

In June, model Kim broke her silence on accusations that she had previously dated Brooklyn before sparking up a romance with Romeo. In a defiant statement on her Instagram account, she declared she would “not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative”.

She clarified: “I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.”

In an apparent response to Kim’s statement, Romeo hit back in a sassy response. On Instagram, he shared a still from a black and white movie that read: “What the world needs is a return to sweetness and decency.” Romeo then added his own remark: “Be nice to people and don’t tell unnecessary lies,” alongside a kissing face emoji.

Romeo and Kim dated for seven months before their split was reported in June this year. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has been married to wife Nicola Peltz since April 2022.

Lostprophets guitarist Lee Gaze has opened up following years of “silence” after frontman Ian Watkins was convicted for a string of vile child sex offences that left the world shocked

Lee Gaze, the former guitarist of Welsh rock band Lostprophets, has broken his years of “silence” on the harrowing ordeal following frontman Ian Watkins’ conviction for heinous child sex crimes. Speaking candidly, the 50-year-old musician expressed on X how “painful” it is to reflect on the past and the thought that “things could have been so different.”

Ian Watkins, once the celebrated lead singer of Lostprophets, saw his career crumble as he was exposed as a monstrous paedophile fuelled by drugs. The band, hailing from Pontypridd in Wales, formed in 1997 by Watkins and Gaze, and rose to fame after their previous band Fleshbind disbanded.

With millions of records sold across the globe and four UK top 10 albums, Lostprophets were once a huge part of the rock music scene. However, Watkins horrified fans when he pleaded guilty to attempting to rape an infant and committing 10 other sex offences, targeting fans, some of whom shockingly offered their own children for him to abuse.

Despite his initial denials following his arrest in 2012, Watkins eventually confessed to his vile acts at his trial a year later. In court, he was labelled a “determined and committed paedophile.”

In a rare public reflection, Gaze recently opened up about the band’s legacy on X, revealing the deep impact the scandal had on him and the devastation of how the band’s journey ended.

Gaze reflected on the past and shared his heartache online, writing: “It’s been 13 years since my band ended in the most unimaginable circumstances and it’s still painful to think about. Things could’ve been so different.

“I don’t talk about it much, but I put everything into that band, and it should’ve lasted a lifetime. I never really wronged anyone my whole life so it seemed like the ultimate punishment.”

As Gaze opened up about his former band’s abrupt end, fans flocked to express their sympathy and support. A fan responded with encouragement: “I wish you a big success with your new project. Thanks for the music and memories.”

Another sympathised, saying: “I’m really sorry you’re still carrying that pain. Everything should have been different. But fate is a cruel joke. You didn’t deserve it. I think a lot about what the band would be like now.”

To this Gaze replied with: “Yeh. Hard to make sense of it all, even after all these years.”

Continuing the outpouring of empathy, one commenter added: “I always say to any band I record if LP comes up in convo, what that guy did was unspeakably evil, but I’ve got so much sympathy for everyone else in that (your) band – he ruined many other people’s lives and careers instantly, and it’s never spoken about.”

A long-time fan also chimed in with: “Eternally gutted for you guys. LP were one of my formative bands in my teens and saw you guys over 20 times.”

In a revealing comment, they suggested: “If you all decided to re-record all your material with a new singer I’d support that! Reclaim something that one person should have no right to send to oblivion.”

One more wrote: “Echoing what others have said about the impact you guys had on me during uni years. Remember seeing you at Brixton circa 2006 ish, epic. Hope you’ve been able to find peace with it all – must’ve been an incredibly heavy burden to carry for so long.”

Best-known for playing Janine Butcher on the long-running hit UK television show, Charlie Brooks recently took to Instagram to talk about life since leaving the BBC series

Former EastEnders star, Charlie Brooks, has revealed she’s currently not working two and a half years after her epic soap exit.

Best-known for playing Janine Butcher on the long-running hit UK television show, Charlie recently took to Instagram to talk about life since leaving the BBC series.

Sharing a picture in which the actress can be seen grinning from ear-to-ear while donning a black ensemble with sunglasses to match, Charlie captioned her post: “Life is good. As someone who is generally validated by work…Turns out being at home, chilling with my dog, taking long walks, reforming, reading and actually getting to hang out with my friends doing everything and nothing makes me really f**king happy.”

In a separate post just two weeks ago, Charlie spoke about the “joys of unemployment” as she listed out all the things that are making her time off from work a blast, namely: “Three whole uninterrupted days with her [best friend], Rummikub, Fire, Ice bath, Massage.”

Since leaving EastEnders almost three years ago in December 2022, Charlie has been seen enjoying family time and attending gigs, and shared an insights into her post Walford life on her social media. With her latest post, Charlie has confirmed she’s still on a break and taking it easy.

Charlie’s character Janine Butcher first set foot in Walford in 1999, staying until 2004, when her villainous character made her first departure from the show. She then ventured into other roles including Robin Hood and playing a murderous nurse in Beverley Allitt: Angel of Death. Charlie made a comeback to EastEnders in 2008 before departing once again in 2012. Her latest return to the smash hit soap was in 2021, followed by her subsequent exit in the latter half of 2022, where she was embroiled in the tragic loss of beloved landlord Mick Carter, who is still lost at sea.

Janine is currently serving a five year prison sentence after she was arrested for perverting the course of justice, specifically for framing Linda Carter for drink-driving. She gave birth to her son, named after his dad Mick Carter, in prison.

In January this year, the actress opened up about the possibility of returning to Walford. She revealed: “I’m going straight back into Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for a while, and then I probably need a little bit of time off,” adding, “And then we’re in talks about another theatre project at the moment, so I don’t know yet.”

She teased further: “I’m biding my time. So who knows.”

Unfortunately, Charlie was eliminated from the competition in the fifth week. She also reprised her role as The Childcatcher in the new production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in March this year, as part of the show’s UK tour.

Charlie is a proud parent to her 20-year-old daughter, Kiki Truman Brooks, whom she shares with former flame Tony Truman, an Ibiza club impresario. The couple parted ways in 2006, just two years after Kiki’s birth, yet they’ve remained amicable, evidenced by Tony residing just above Charlie’s Surrey abode.

The Lie With Me actress’ love life recently made headlines as Charlie and her producer boyfriend James Fuller parted ways in February, mere weeks after confirming their relationship publicly.

Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher will be performing five epic homecoming concerts at Heaton Park in Manchester between July 11 and 20 – with the price of a pint now revealed

Fans of Oasis in Manchester are gearing up for their Heaton Park gigs, taking part over the next week over five dates. Liam and Noel Gallagher performed their first concerts after 16 years in Cardiff last weekend, much to the delight of thousands of longtime fans who waited years for a reunion between the previously warring brothers.

During their two nights in Cardiff, fans were fuming over the price of pints. One pint set fans back £8.20 and a four-pint jug set fans back £31, forcing fans to pre-drink at pubs near the stadium. However, there is a huge difference in drink prices in Manchester as fans descend on the city for the Heaton Park concerts, which has Cast and Richard Ashcroft opening for the brothers.

It has now been confirmed that a pint of lager and cider will be priced at £6.50, saving fans almost £2. Merchandise pricing was also recently revealed, with key rings costing £10, a poster going for £40, and a T-shirt costing £40.

Oasis mania is already sweeping the city with Noel being pictured leaving Gary Neville’s Stock Exchange hotel, Liam’s voice becoming the soundtrack to the tram system and fans packing out pubs and snapping up merchandise as they revel in the long-awaited Gallagher homecoming.

Hours before the gig, the band issued a severe weather warning to fans travelling in. They urged concert goers to be prepared for ‘extreme heat and sun.’

“Please prepare for extreme sun and heat. Wear sun screen. Stay hydrated – at the concert and when travelling. Wear a (bucket) hat. Where possible stay in the shade. Look after yourselves and each other,” they said on social media. The temperature in Heaton Park is currently 28 degrees.

Ahead of their five sold-out performances between 11-20 July at Manchester’s Heaton Park, promoters SJM also posted a warning to fans as the UK braces for yet another heatwave.

“With a very hot weather forecast on both Friday and Saturday, please stay hydrated, you will be permitted to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml. This must be collapsible plastic,” SJM said in a statement.

“Solid plastic, metal etc containers will not be permitted on the grounds of safety. Bottles with broken seals will be emptied. There is free water to refill your bottle on site.”

The statement added: “Wear sunscreen, you will be permitted to bring in a small bottle 200ml or under and protect yourself from the sun overall/wear a hat; we know the legendary bucket hat will be making an appearance, so you’ll fit right in! Look after yourself and those around you.”
