On Monday night, Brooklyn made a number of shocking allegations against his parents, but sources claim he is now disconnecting from social media.

Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly quit social media after making a series of shocking claims against his family on Monday night. According to a source, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham is ‘lying low’ and won’t read any response from his family – should they choose to make one – because he’s taking a break from social media.

The news comes after he changed his profile picture to a photo of the back of his neck, which is covered in a tattoo of his wife Nicola’s eyes. In an explosive statement posted on Instagram, Brooklyn shared his reasons for cutting his parents out of his life. Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz are now “lying low” after his bombshell post, with Brooklyn choosing to remain offline.

According to a source, “Brooklyn, we’re told, is surprised and appreciative of the support he’s received.” In his statement, Brooks said, “I have made every effort to keep these matters private for the past few years.” 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 don’t want to have a family, I say. For the first time in my life, I’m standing up for myself instead of being controlled. My parents have controlled our family’s narratives in the media for my entire life. My life was made up of performative social media posts, family events, and unauthentic relationships.

He continued, “his parents have told countless lies to the media, primarily at the expense of innocent people, to “protect their own facade.” He also claimed that they were trying to break up with his wife, and particularly his mother, who he claimed had backed away from making Nicola’s wedding dress at the “11th hour” and that she had inappropriately cheated on me when she “tried to steal their first dance to dance” on her. He claimed that he “never felt more humiliated or uneasy.”

Brooklyn also accused his parents of trying to extort money from him, accused him of being unfair and accused him of “signing away” his name, and called him evil for having his and Nicola’s nannies at their wedding table. Romeo and Cruz, Romeo and Cruz, are accused of attacking Brooklyn on social media before blocking him, as well.

His parents are yet to address the claims, but on Tuesday David admitted that his children had ‘made mistakes’ on social media in an interview in Davos, where he was attending the World Economic Forum.

Victoria has remained silent on social media, breaking her customary practice of posting frequently. She has since chosen to break that silence and posted on her Instagram stories as a media blitz surrounds her.

Instead of expressing her regret for her affair with her eldest son, Victoria made a birthday tribute to her former bandmate and friend Emma Bunton, who turned 50 yesterday. As Victoria and Emma were the first to post a black and white photo, she wrote, “Happy birthday @emmaleebunton.” I’m so in love with you! She then uploaded a video of Emma singing in the song “Happy Birthday Baby Kisses Xxx” and added, “…

It comes after allegations that Victoria has been mocked on social media for her claims that she danced “unfavorably” with her son at his wedding and “steached” their first dance together on their big day. Thousands of people have been making fun of Victoria on the internet by posting memes and videos attacking Brooklyn’s assertions since the explosive claim.

A wedding guest supported Brooklyn’s claim, despite one source’s assertion that there was “no malice” from Victoria after her son and his new wife was exposed by a source. Stavros Agapiou, DJ Fat Tony’s partner, said in a wry Instagram comment, “I was there and she did, he’s telling the truth. However, the comment was later deleted and replaced with “Good on him for speaking out!”

According to one reviewer, “Vitoria” allegedly got up on stage and wrapped her arms around Brooklyn and nuzzled into his neck while dancing with him inappropriately. That is the God’s truth, she learned from Nicola. After months of bubbling tension between the Beckhams and the Peltzs, Brooklyn’s sensational statement on Monday caused the outcry over the alleged inappropriate dance.

The Beckhams had a feud with their son for the majority of 2025. Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, appeared to distance themselves from the family and did not attend or recognize family gatherings despite having no one to confirm that they were feuding.

Alan Carr to gift himself a castle for 50th birthday after iconic Traitors win

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article36588428.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/0_534664TITLEThe-Celebrity-Traitors.jpg

A new show has been announced by Alan Carr and Disney+ that could allow the funny man to purchase something extraordinary for himself.

Alan Carr triumphed in The Traitors castle – and is now planning to buy one of his own as part of a new TV Series. New Disney+ show ‘Castle Man’ will see comedian Alan ready to take on something described as the “biggest gig of his life” – purchasing and running a historic castle.

Alan “finds himself at a moment of reckoning” where he is taking stock of both where he is and where he wants to be as his 50th birthday draws near. He has long desired to own a grand château, according to Disney+ creators.

But will that fantasy finally come true after a transformative and renowned stay at The Traitor’s castle, or will it? He wants to live in one, a leap of faith driven entirely by Alan himself, not just to visit a castle.

Celebrity Traitors winner at the end of 2025, joker Alan, who announcing the show, said: “Some men buy a Lamborghini or ponytail, but I want my very own castle.

I’ve always had big dreams since I was a boy in Northampton, and now that I’m fifty, I think it’s the right time. Get me over that drawbridge, I only want a turret to call my own.

The filming for the program will begin this week, and it will go on Disney+ later this year. What an incredible project, Alan Carr looking to purchase a castle befitting his status as comedy royalty and a national treasure, and soon finding himself responsible for the very real, right royal pain of making it all work, according to Ben Wicks, Creative Director, Entertainment, and executive producer from makers Expectation.

“We’re delighted to be following Alan’s dramatic, undoubtedly hilarious journey with Disney, who thankfully have a lot more castle history.”

And Disney+ added that Alan Carr is one of those rare talents who can transform anything he touches into instant warmth, wit, and originality.

We’ve seen him transition from stand-up, gameshows, podcasts, and presenting, but when we learned he was looking to buy a castle to run, we knew we had to go along with the adventure. With all the same riotous entertainment you know and love, experience Alan in a new way.

Alan was recently linked to hosting Strictly Come Dancing with pal Amanda Holden but the pair moved quickly to rule themselves out. Alan said this week: “No, we said no ages ago.”

Alan and Amanda have starred in popular BBC renovation shows together, primarily focusing on renovating properties in Italy and Greece, such as “Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job” and the recently aired “Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job”. But on the castle show for Disney+ he will be on his own.

Claudia’s fury as Matthew is banished from The Traitors and regrets ‘mistakes’

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article36589483.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/1_TraitorsGrabs12403JPG.jpg

Claudia, the host, was utterly depressed because cultural director Matthew, 35, has just received their marching orders at the round table.

Matthew Hyndman, a disgruntled faithful, claims he wishes he had spent the time on The Traitors on BBC1 and “all guns blazing” for traitor Stephen Libby. Additionally, he regrets not working harder to stop James Baker from attacking him and instead work with Stephen, who is currently escaping with the competition alongside fellow traitor Rachel Duffy.

Creative director Matthew, 35, has become the latest in a long line of faithfuls to get their marching orders from The Traitors at the round table, leaving host Claudia Winkleman barely able to disguise her disappointment over their performance. Looking furious as they got rid of Matthew, she told them: “Faithful, what are you thinking? The Traitors will murder one of you tonight. I am genuinely speechless. Good night.”

Matthew acknowledged later that he had been “gutted” not to be chosen as a traitor in the game. He continued, “A few errors I made near the end, particularly at the final round table,” adding: He sighed as he realized that I had to fire all the shots at Stephen. I understood that James would have to cast his ballot because of the numbers, so I knew I couldn’t go after Stephen because he would have won, and I would be gone. He would always support me because he was a Traitor, and I assumed he was.

He claimed that gardener James, who had grown suspicious of him from day one, would have chosen him because he now regrets playing it a very different way. In the game of the Traitors, you have to kind of do that, he said, “but if someone doesn’t like me, I’m not going to beg them to be my friend.”

I should have tried desperately to reach James and said, “Look, Stephen is a traitor, he’s going to vote for me tonight. Please just listen to me on this one occasion; if I’m wrong, I’ll banish you the following night because “I should have tried to persuade James, but I just didn’t bother trying.”

Matthew received five votes, including the double whammy from James, and two from the traitors Stephen and Rachel in the end. Prior to his departure, he had designated them both during the return car from the mission as his next targets, with Faraaz acknowledging that he harbored the same suspicions. James later wept over his error, claiming that Matthew’s mistaken identity would have sealed his own fate. “That’s me f***ed”, he said. “Probably deservedly so,” she continued.

Matt made a second-guessing statement about his game plan afterward, demonstrating that the pair were correct to refuse him the chance to join them in the tower despite his valiant bid to “break” with them. According to Matthew, “I had a plan in place that if I had been hired, I would have come down to breakfast and then said to everyone that I was sitting on some information, and that the traitors would have instructed me to hire Rachel next, as I would have known that Rachel was a traitor, and it would have had to have been Rachel.”

He said his game plan had been to stay in the BBC show for as long as possible – and his suggested ploy to join the traitors could have helped that. “I just wanted to be a Traitor!” he laughed. “I was also so certain that I was going to be murdered. When I got voted the fairest, and then got the power to meet the Traitors, I thought I was really at risk. I just saw that as an opportunity to give myself at least two more days in the game.” And he added: “People don’t get how hard it is.”

Because Jack Butler had earned a shield during the fairground mission, the two remaining traitors had to choose who to kill in last night’s show. Only Roxy Wilson and Faraaz Noor are still considered potential murder victims after determining that James and Jade Scott will be the ones who will be expelled next.

Faraaz was problematic because he had just accused Rachel of being a traitor, but the former is a useful ally because she trusts both of them to be faithful. He then shared his thoughts with a group that included Rachel after launching his correct theory against her in the library.

Faraaz, the youngest player at just 22, said he thought Rachel had kept him because he was useful to her and that there was a big disagreement between her and Fiona Hughes. He said that after a disagreement, he decided to call it “traitor on traitor” and that Rachel had kept him in the game because he was. While Roxy muttered, “Please no, please no,” Stephen feigned shock when he revealed his thoughts.

At the conclusion of the day, Faraaz said to Rachel, “Don’t kill me tomorrow, please, or tonight”! which forced her to confess to him, “How do you know that I’m not a traitor?” because I would have killed you the night before. Jack sputters, “That’s brutal,” as he listens in.

Stephen acknowledged to the camera that he now worries about the pair of them making it to the final: “Rachel has an uphill battle to make it to the end game. I’m just hoping she can succeed. Even though she had promised to never write his name on her slate, he still got jittery after being warned that he would have to start talking about him with the other people.
