Victoria Beckham insists she’s a ‘girl’s girl’ amid feud with Brooklyn and Nicola

As her and David’s feud with their son Brooklyn and his wife drags on, Victoria Beckham has asserted that she is a “girl’s girl” and that it is uncommon for her to not get along with other women.

Victoria Beckham has reminded fans that her girl power attitude is alive and well, saying she has always been a “girl’s girl” who gets on with almost everyone unless they give her a real reason not to.

The fashion designer and former Spice Girl, 51, appeared on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show this week, where she opened up about her relationships with other women, particularly during her WAG (wives and girlfriends of footballers) era while husband David Beckham played for England.

When questioned about how well-liked the other footballers were at the time, Victoria responded, “Yes. I’m a girl’s girl. You must be a real a**e for me to refuse to get along with you if you’re a woman, after all.

She continued to state that the focus of her fashion and beauty work is on empowering women. She continued, “Because I love, I love women, you know, and that’s one of the reasons I do what I do with fashion and beauty.” I want to give women more power. Yes. And I want to tell women about my advice.

Her comments come amid ongoing rumours of a family rift involving her eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, actress Nicola Peltz.

Reports suggest that Brooklyn and Nicola have been notably absent from a number of significant family gatherings, including David’s 50th birthday celebrations and Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show, where tensions have been simmering for months.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola also skipped the premiere of Beckham, Victoria’s hit Netflix documentary, and have remained silent on social media about the project.

However, Victoria and David appeared to extend an olive branch recently when they both liked one of Brooklyn’s Instagram videos, where he showed off his cooking skills by making buttermilk pancakes.

Despite the public show of support, Brooklyn’s absence at family milestones has reportedly been difficult for his parents. A source recently told HELLO! : “From the minute Nicola came into the family, she hasn’t shown what Victoria would say is respect towards them.”

Another insider, however, stated that David has already reached out to him and will travel to Brooklyn if necessary. This will be extinguished by them. When the emotions are settled, David has vowed to allow everyone to talk.

The source continued, “Brooklyn hurt them.” David won’t allow this to continue for very long, despite how it hurts them that he has aired their dirty laundry. He wants to bring everyone together, but nothing will change unless they work together.

Vicky Pattison uses £5 ‘hydrating and brightening’ under eye patches for Strictly training

Vicky Pattison has been relying on these affordable £5 brightening under eye patches to combat tired, puffy, and dark circles while participating in Strictly Come Dancing.

With plenty of early starts and long hours spent training each week for Strictly Come Dancing, it’s no wonder that Vicky Pattison has been pulling out all the stops to stop her looking too tired. The presenter shared some snaps of herself en route to an early training session earlier this week wearing a pair of BEAUTYPRO’s Retinol Under Eye Patches, and they’re the perfect quick and affordable fix for puffy eyes and dark circles.

You can save 25% by purchasing three packets of LookFantastic’s discounted price, which is currently just £4.50. The eye patches are ideal to wear just before a big event or occasion, or just to relieve tired eyes.

Retinol under eye patches are infused with retinol, which reduces uneven skin tone appearance and improves visible skin renewal. Your eyes appear brighter and more awake thanks to the vitamin C content, whereas aloe vera and citrus extract smooth and brighten those dark circles.

They also provide extra hydration that exfoliates and soothes skin, and they have a cooling effect that reduces puffiness in just 20 minutes of wearing them, reducing puffiness and helping to improve tired eyes. For extra hydration and relaxation before a big event, you can wear them on your own as you get ready or layer them underneath a sheet mask.

Retinol Under Eye Patches are best applied to clean skin that has only been rinsed with water. Because of their retinol content, it’s typically advised to use them in the afternoon or evening rather than the morning. Retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so you should always ensure you wear SPF the day after taking it.

The Energizing Eye Masks ($18 for 24 pairs) from Grace & Stella are a great alternative if you want some that are perfectly fine to apply in the morning. They combat the effects of poor sleep, sun exposure, harsh makeup removal, and even dry, aging skin with powerful cooling and soothing ingredients that clearly de-puff even the worst of eye bags.

To relieve tired, puffy eyes, the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches ($25 for six pairs) are also infused with panthenol, cucumber extract, panthenol, and niacinamide. Beauty of Joseon Revive Under Eye Patch Ginseng And Retinal, a tub of 60 patches, is another retinol-infused option that is currently available for a reduced price of £17.

Claudia Winkleman’s rarely-seen son Jake gives verdict on Celebrity Traitors

Claudia Winkleman is at the heart of what has become one of the most popular programs of the year and the most popular unscripted show since 2022.

Jake, Claudia Winkleman’s unremarkable son, has written his opinion of the most recent episode of Celebrity Traitors. Three weeks ago, the show aired on television and has already gained a sizable following in the British public.

Since 2022, the most popular unscripted program has been the new celeb version of the beloved show. A number of well-known actors competed to earn up to £100,000 for their chosen charity.

Claudia is at the helm of the show and it seems that her eldest son Jake is quite a fan as well. Comedian Joe Wilkinson is one of the stars that took part in the show but sadly he met his fate when the Traitors chose to “murder” him.

Claudia mentioned in Hello! that her son’s good books are. “My son is such a big Joe Wilkinson fan,” my son exclaims. The presenter claimed she had no problem being professional when Joe approached her because she only wanted to chat.

She continued, “Hello, and is there any way I could get your autograph?” Joe was one of the many celebrities who opted to participate in the program in aid of the organization.

The Faithfuls have yet to discover any of the characters, but chat show host Jonathan Ross, singer Cat Burns, and comedian Alan Carr, who are the show’s traitors.

The Faithfuls are hoping they can one day find at least one of the Traitors as the Celebrity Traitors continue tonight.

Kate Garraway, Nick Mohammed, or Lucy Beaumont will all be the next victims to be assassinated by the Traitors on Wednesday night. They’ll be meeting them in person to hear the announcement, even though it’s a shocking development.

It seems that Claudia’s son Jake is a bigger fan of his mum’s job on Traitors than he is of her Strictly Come Dancing gig. The host has previously said that her son has asked her in the past to give up her role on Strictly.

Back in 2018, the presenter admitted that her then-teenage son had asked her to quit her job despite her working for the BBC for most of her son’s life.

Speaking on The Dan Wootton Interview podcast, Claudia explained: “My eldest son has got a buzzcut. He’s 15 and he thinks his mum’s a loser. It’s heartbreaking.

He states, “It’s just not do Strictly that the main thing is.” If you really loved me, you would stop, sir. He is simply embarrassed.

Claudia and Strictly co-host Tess Daly announced last week that they would be stepping down from their roles at the end of the series. The duo shared a video to Instagram where they announced the news.

They stated that they would be finished with the current series but would not return the following year. Who will replace the recognizable pair is unknown at this time.

Tom Daley reveals life long struggle as he opens up on ‘dark times’

After being told by his diving instructor that he was overweight as a teenager, the Olympian has shared that he still struggles with body dysmorphia and finds it difficult to work out.

Olympic gold medallist Tom Daley has opened up about his ongoing struggle with body dysmorphia and the pressures of keeping up appearances within the gay community, admitting he still finds the gym “intimidating” despite his world-class physique.

The diver and Celebrity Traitors star, 31, revealed that his husband, filmmaker Dustin Lance Black, 51, has been a vital source of support through some of his darkest moments.

While speaking to Radio Times, Tom said: “My husband’s been a huge support in that. I think it’s a big thing in the gay world. Some people have very unrealistic body expectations.”

He continued, “As an Olympian, I go to the gym and I hate it because I’m being judged by everyone for how I’m doing this.” It intimidates me, too.

Tom was 17 years old when his diving performance director revealed to him that he was overweight, and he first developed an eating disorder in 2011. He recalled how the comment sparked a downward spiral of self-criticism and unhealthy eating habits.

He said, “I had no idea what I was doing at the time, so I just cut out the food.” “I used to binge because I was so hungry.” Then, after I binged, I would feel so bad that I would bebulimic for a while. Because I had no one to talk to about it, it was a dark time. Men’s conversations about their eating disorders weren’t intended back then.

According to the NHS, body dysmorphia is a mental health condition where individuals spend a lot of time worrying about perceived flaws in their appearance. Bulimia is a serious eating disorder that can have severe effects on both physical and mental health.

My performance director told me that I was overweight and that I needed to look like I did when I was 14 – I was almost 18 at the time. In a previous interview, Tom stated: “In 2011 I was told that I was overweight and that I needed to look like I did.”

“It was the first time I realized that someone was observing my body in terms of appearance rather than performance.” I had a lot of different issues with body dysmorphia and bulimia, he continued.

After retiring from professional diving in 2024, Tom has turned his focus to new projects, including Game of Wool, an upcoming Channel 4 knitting competition series that he is set to host.

Robbie Ray, age seven, and Phoenix Rose, age three, are his two children, and he hopes to one day share their stories. The family recently watched Tom’s appearance on The Celebrity Traitors, which featured Robbie seeing his father killed in a heartfelt scene at home.

On The One Show, Tom said, “Someones close to me knew what was going on, but they were unsure whether I would turn out to be a Traitor or a Faithful.” What was really sad was when my husband and my oldest son were watching it, and I was actually killed.

“He started crying and was like ‘Papa!’ I was like ‘Robbie, I’m here, you’re fine,’ and he was like ‘I wanted you to win. I hate The Traitors!’ Well, I did want to be a Traitor,” he laughed.

Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan says ‘please don’t let her’ as she shares fears over daughter

The revelation was made by Coleen Nolan, a mother-of-three with sons Shane Jr., Jake, and daughter Ciara, while speaking out against a fan’s plight alongside fellow Loose Women panelist Jane Moore.

Coleen Nolan has shared a candid insight into her fears about her daughter’s love life before she was engaged. In a segment of the Loose Women: Just Between Us podcast, Coleen and fellow ITV panellist Jane Moore set out a fan dilemma that involved the new boyfriend of a listener’s daughter.

There was “something about him” that Jane didn’t like, according to a listener named Joanne who had read his words. Joanne claimed she could “do better” because he “treats her well,” but she was concerned that they were from different backgrounds.

In response, Jane said she sounded a bit “snobby”, a notion with which her co-host agreed. Coleen, a mum-of-three, pointed out that he treats her well, so “isn’t that all you want?” She advised Joanne to let her “live her own life a bit”.

Jane and Coleen, who is mum to sons Shane Jr and Jake, whom she shares with ex-husband Shane Richie, and a daughter named Ciara with ex-partner Ray Fensome, proceeded to elaborate on their own experiences introducing their boyfriends to their parents.

It led to a chat about Ciara and Coleen’s introduction to her daughter’s fiancé, Maxx Innes (the couple are now expecting their first child). She explained that she initially had her own reservations, but he would prove to be “absolutely brilliant”.

He was first introduced to him at a family gathering, according to Coleen, and he was a member of Shane’s band.

She continued, “She came out and I was sitting outside with my friend,” and she said, “Oh, Mum, she said, The guitarist.” She said, “I might have to kiss him because he’s very attractive.”

“Oh God, how funny, what’s she like, I went,” I said. And when she entered, I said to my friend, “Oh God, no, please don’t let her end up with a musician because I just divorced one, that being her dad,” and she responded, “Oh God, no, no, please don’t let her end up with a musician.”

Coleen added that once they started dating, however, her fears were soon put to rest. She noted that it was the “best thing that’s ever happened”, to which Jane replied that he’s a “nice young man”. Coleen added that he’s “absolutely brilliant”.

In April of last year, reports emerged that Maxx had proposed to Ciara while they were on holiday in Vietnam. In the aftermath, Ciara posted a snap of them holding hands as she sported her new ring, writes the Mail.

In her post, she wrote: “It was like a fairytale and I can’t wait to spend forever with you @maxxiness I love you xxx.” Meanwhile, Coleen took to Instagram to share a photo and offer some words of support.

She remarked, “Well what can I say, I’m so thrilled that @maxxinnes has asked my gorgeous girl @ciarafensome to marry him.

Prince Harry’s dark fear for Archie and Lilibet as Meghan scrambles to delete error

There is a very real reason why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry don’t show their faces in public for as long as possible, despite the rumor that Meghan and Prince Harry want to keep their kids away from the public eye.

There is a heartbreaking justification for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to keep their children atop the spotlight.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, appeared to have unintentionally shared a photo of their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, over the weekend when she posted a video of her husband, 41, carving a pumpkin.

Meghan presumably only intended for the Duke of Sussex to appear in the footage, but the video inadvertently captured the faces of their kids as they dashed about in the background.

Meghan quickly edited the video because the royal couple maintain steadfast opinions about the faces of their children, which were later revealed. They allegedly wanted to keep Archie and Lilibet from the spotlight for as long as possible, according to this theory.

Although it is understandable that they want their children to have this level of privacy as children, there is also a deeply troubling reason why they don’t want their faces to be revealed. This is thought to be a result of concerns for their safety.

According to a source, Harry has been reluctant to publicly show his kids because he doesn’t want to protect them from potential threats, but rather to protect their privacy and safety. Without fear of kidnapping or harm, he wants them to lead as normal a life as possible.

Meghan has previously shared images of her children’s faces on Instagram, but they never have to be seen with them completely. Meghan only uploaded photos of her children with emojis obscuring their faces when they visited Disney earlier this year, for instance. This situation won’t likely change until the children are grown up, especially not in the near future.

It comes as Harry and Meghan had all eyes on them on Tuesday as they spent the night at the baseball. The couple were handed the best seats in the house as they cheered on the LA Dodgers at Game 4 of the World Series.

They have proved how they are deeply ingrained in Los Angeles life as they supported their local team in baseball merchandise on Tuesday night. TV cameras were sure to pick them out in the crowd as Harry and Meghan cheered on the team.

The pair’s thousands of dollars worth of front seats clearly appeared to be enjoying them. The Sussexes were seated in the second row, behind former basketball players Magic Johnson and Sandy Koufax.

Sandy is a four-time World Series champion and Hall of Fame pitcher, while Magic is a part-owner of the team. Harry and Meghan were seen greeting fans as they entered the stadium before the game.
