The Beckham family feud appears to have worsened, with Romeo and Cruz reportedly blocking their older brother Brooklyn on social media, and it’s a move insiders are calling the “Gen Z version of World War Three”.

Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are said to be “blindsided” by the fallout, which suggests a deepening rift between the couple and Brooklyn’s family.

“Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three,” a source told The Sun. “It’s a sad new low.”

According to insiders, Brooklyn has become increasingly distant, not only from parents David and Victoria but also from his siblings. “Even when the family have reached out to Brooklyn they have been ignored,” the source added. “He’s not had contact for months and it feels clear to them that he doesn’t want to make amends.”

Initially, it was reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, but a friend of Brooklyn’s said that wasn’t the case. “Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It’s possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers.”

Shortly after news of the snub broke, Romeo shared Justin Bieber’s Walking Away on his Instagram Stories, captioning it: “Yup.”

Meanwhile, Brooklyn had posted a photo with Nicola and their sister Harper for her birthday, prompting speculation it was an olive branch to the family, a claim denied by a friend: “There is too much water under the bridge.”

Brooklyn’s strained relationship with his parents has played out publicly. He skipped David’s 50th birthday and didn’t acknowledge Victoria on Mother’s Day.

Despite visiting London in May for a Moncler campaign, Brooklyn didn’t contact his family, even though he was just minutes from their Holland Park home. “It felt like a low blow,” said one source.

The feud reportedly has roots in a long-standing issue involving Romeo’s ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull.

There were rumours of past romantic links between her and Brooklyn, which all parties have denied. Kim recently addressed the speculation: “I have never been romantically involved in any capacity at any point with the person in question.”

The emotional toll is clear. “It’s all been incredibly painful,” said a family source. “David and Victoria worship the ground Brooklyn walks on and will always be there for him.”

The Mirror has approached Brooklyn’s representatives for comment.

Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais shares sweet reaction to cameo at Heaton Park Oasis gig

Noel and Liam Gallagher’s band Oasis are official back on tour for the first time in more than two decades, with thousands of fans travelling to see them perform

Oasis star Noel Gallagher’s daughter Anais has shared her sweet reaction to her cameo at their Heaton Park gig last night. She took to her Instagram to share a clip as she attended her dad’s concert, watching on in the crowd to support her dad.

The 25-year-old posted the video which featured the Oasis stage at Heaton Park as they performed in their native Manchester. In the clip, a tiny voice could be heard saying “That’s rock ‘n’ roll baby” – which Anais revealed was a recording of herself at seven years old.

She captioned the post: “That’s my little 7 year old voice” as she shared a cute face emoji to react to the touching moment. Across the night Anais shared a collection of clips and photos of her dad – who she branded the ‘coolest’ – while performing at the reunion tour.

READ MORE: Liam Gallagher booed at Oasis’ Heaton Park show after controversial song dedication

Oasis have recently embarked on their come-back tour after not performing together for more than two decades. Liam and Noel had infamously been feuding ever since the band split back in 2009.

The pair announced last year that they would be going on tour 16 years after splitting. At the time of the announcement, they shared a video to promote the comeback when Liam was heard saying: “When we both come together, you have greatness.”

Noel then says: “I know my brother better than anybody else. This is it, this is happening.” The brothers started their reunion tour in Cardiff and performed some of their biggest hits during the first show.

Their set list consisted of hits such as Roll With It, Fade Away, Morning Glory and Stand By Me. They began the show with their song Hello. However, some fans weren’t too happy while watching the latest show at Heaton Park last night.

Liam was met with jeers during the epic Oasis homecoming gig, but it wasn’t his music that ruffled feathers. The gig took an unexpected turn when Liam paused to make a heartfelt dedication.

Liam announced: “I’d like to dedicate this to the greatest manager of all time, Mr Pep Guardiola.” The shoutout caused some unrest among the fans which lead to boos.

However, Liam wasn’t too offended as he fired back: “Who you f***ing booing, who you f***ing booing.” The camera then focused on a life-size cut-out of Pep Guardiola wearing a Man City scarf, which was displayed on stage.

However, the crowd then broke into laughter and Liam kicked off a rendition of D’You Know What I Mean. Adding to the excitement, Pep Guardiola himself was seen backstage, mingling with the Gallaghers, including Noel’s daughter and Liam’s sons.

A weather warning was issued for the concert due to the UK heatwave this weekend. Concert organisers tole fans to stage hydrated and wear sun screen.

The warning then told concert goers to “wear a (bucket) hat” as well as to stay in the shade when possible. It finished with saying: “Look after yourself and look after each other.”

Brad Pitt makes ‘desperate plea’ to reunite with two children after ‘unfixable’ fallout

Brad Pitt has endured a difficult relationship with the six children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie – and he is said to be ‘desperate’ to reunite with his teenage twins

Brad Pitt is said to be “desperate” to reunite with his twin children following his divorce from Angelina Jolie and enduring an explosive family fall out. The 61-year-old Hollywood star was in a relationship with Angie for 12 years and they married in 2014, and parents to six – including twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

The star couple’s relationship hit the rocks in 2016 with Angelina filing for divorce, and over the subsequent years there have been reports that Brad’s relationship with his kids has suffered. Last year, Vivienne made headlines when it was revealed she had dropped “Pitt” from her last name – hinting at a severe breakdown in relations.

Now a new report has suggested Brad is “desperate” to smooth things over with his twins. However, it is suggested he will face an uphill struggle to get all his kids in one place together with him.

The report claims the F1 actor has a “glimmer of hope” that he can make amends due to the fact that while Vivienne has dropped his name from her last name, Knox has not removed “Pitt” from his last name.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Brad’s desperate to give it one final shot to get together with them and make amends, even though he knows the chance they’ll agree to spend time with him is remote to say the least. So far there’s been no word back from the twins or their reps.”

And a second source stated: “Brad is a family man. Now that he and Angie are at odds, and have for years, he has accepted that is the way it is going to be with her. But when it comes to their children, he will always want to be an anchor in their lives.

“There is a bond that parents have with their kids, and Brad would be very happy to have them all back in the fold of his life. He will always believe and always hope there is a chance to be back with all of them, and he doesn’t want to think otherwise.

“He doesn’t want to give up, he’s not that kind of guy, he’s not that kind of father. He is a proud father, and he would be happy to have them see that eventually.”

Brad and Angeline first revealed their romance in 2005 – soon after it was announced he had split from first wife, Jennifer Aniston. The following year, they announced they were expecting their first child together – with Shiloh arriving in May 2006.

Vivienne and Knox arrived in July 2008 – and proud parents Brad and Ange married in a private ceremony at their Château in Miraval, France, in August 2014.

The couple announced their split in 2016 and a bitter divorce was launched – and while they were declared single again in 2019, points around their divorce rumbled for years after. Famously, the couple argued through lawyers in the courts over the ownership of their vineyard in France.

Following their split, Brad has since begun a relationship with 32-year-old jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, while Angelina is reportedly enjoying life as a singleton.

Orange Tango’s ‘happy slapper’ TV ad star met tragic end after banned craze

The famous Tango Orange TV advert, which saw a man in a nappy slap a drinker around the face, was banned after sparking copycat crazes – but what became of the actor Peter Geeves?

Sometimes an advert captures our imagination so brilliantly, like the heartwarming John Lewis Christmas commercials that people look forward to every year. But in other moments, adverts spectacularly misfire – remember the 1992 ‘happy slapper’ Tango advert with its infamous line, “You know when you’ve been Tango’d”?

The notorious ad depicted a trio of youngsters on a street corner, one enjoying a can of Tango, with a voiceover from Outnumbered star Hugh Dennis alongside sports commentator Ray Wilkins. They narrated a slow-mo replay of the Tango drinker getting slap around the face by a bright orange man sporting a bald head and a nappy. The slap was intended to represent the intense hit of the drink’s flavour.

Marking the launch of Tango’s new comedic campaign, the advert inadvertently sparked a rash of copycat slapping incidents in playgrounds, allegedly causing children to sustain burst ear drums – leading to the immediate ban of the commercial.

Relatively unknown talent Peter Greeves took on the role of the Tango man, having worked in some films and TV series such as Muppet Treasure Island, Nuns On The Run, Birds Of A Feather, Closer To Home, and Men Behaving Badly, reports OK!.

Recounting the ad’s casting, art director Trevor Robinson shared reflections with The Guardian, saying: “Somehow we also convinced serious up-and-coming actor Peter Geeves to play the Orange Man. We knew as soon as he auditioned – the way he ran with his stomach sticking out – that he’d be perfect.”

He elaborated on the original concept for the advertisement, revealing: “At first, we thought the ad would have a fat orange genie who ran up and kicked the Tango drinker on the bum. Of course, the advertising authority at the time, the BACC, said no way. We got the script cleared by changing the kick to a pleasant, Morecambe and Wise-style slap on the face. I think it’s safe to say the little slap got a bit out of hand.”

He also recounted learning about the troublesome trend it sparked, saying: “I remember having a conversation with a doctor, who complained that kids were ‘Tangoing’ each other at the cost of perforated ear drums.”

Peter Geeves seemingly vanished from the public eye in 1996 as he quit acting to establish a micro-brewery with his son, providing Yorkshire pubs with their own local brews. The pair’s Tunnel Mouth was even named champion beer at a breweries festival. However, he did appear in five episodes of police drama The Bill, an episode of Doctors and two episodes of EastEnders, where he played Len.

In a chat with ITV back in 2006, Peter nostalgically recalled his stint in the Tango advert, quipping: “I was asked to first of all run around, then run around and scream, then run around screaming topless, it was at that point I thought ‘aye-aye, this isn’t the normal run of the mill advert'”.

Sadly, Peter’s IMDB page reveals the news that he passed away on 31 December 2022, at the age of 67, leaving behind a wife, Suzanne, and two children.

Wireless Festival fans were “packed in like Sardines” according to fans on the first night of the Finsbury Park festival yesterday as the sun was shining and headliner Drake performed his first show of three this weekend. Fans have been waiting in anticipating to see the Hotline Bling singer back in the UK – and he certainly went all out on Friday with special guests and a few surprises.

The 38-year-old rapper and singer, who has five Grammy Awards, surprised fans as he brought out Lauryn Hill on stop. Her performance of ‘Ex-Factor’ transitioned into Drake rapping his 2018 hit single ‘Nice For What’. Videos shared online show the incredible scenes and one fan said on X that it was “one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen”.

But that’s not all; Drake, who flew via his private jet ‘Air Drake’ to the UK earlier this week, also welcomed five other artists onto the stage – Mario, Bobby Valentino, Bryson Tiller, and Giveon to churn out their crowd-pleasing singles. Plus, the One Dance artist added an unlikely song to his show – a Whitney Houston track – and he flew in the air.

Fans were gobsmacked at the unexpected moment after seeing him on a cylindrical platform, holding his microphone out to the crowd as the legendary song blared out.

While sharing videos on TikTok of the moment, fans shared their thoughts. One individual said: “The last thing I expected…Drake performing I will always love you by Whitney Houston Wireless 2025.”

Another shared a clip, and said: “Drake flying through Finsbury Park singing Whitney Houston was not on my 2025 Bingo card.”

One other commented: “Only drake would fly on a crane around the whole wireless crowd, singing Whitney Houston.” “Drake really said ‘I’m seeing everybody’,” another observed as he flew across the crowd.

One other shocked fan, who admitted they were left feeling emotional, said: “Not Drake flying through the air to Whitney Houston after bringing out 10 back to back special guests. We go again tomorrow.”

“He’s so unserious,” commented another. “This man is having too much fun,” said another. One other says he was acting like a “fairy”.

Drake previously made surprise appearances at Wireless. He made a guest appearance at Wireless Festival in 2021, where he joined Future on stage. He also made a surprise appearance at Wireless Festival in 2018.

Who else is performing at Wireless Festival 2025?

Kylie Jenner has been wearing these platform flip flops on repeat on holiday

The 90s favourite platform flip flops have been making a comeback this summer, and Kylie Jenner is leading the trend with her pair that she’s worn on repeat whilst in Italy

The Italian girl summer, or Euro summer as it’s also referred to, has been a major trend this season, with everyone embracing the laid back but still chic look that Europeans are known for. Never one to be left behind on a trend, Kylie Jenner has been fully embracing the style during her Italian getaway with family, and a key part of her holiday looks has been a pair of platform flip flops.

The style might have first been popular in the 90s, but for 2025 they’re back in a big – and decidedly chic – way. Despite her reported $70 million net worth, Kylie’s sandals are actually an ultra affordable pick, with the youngest KarJenner wearing a pair of Tkees’ Lily Platforms, which retail for £114.

The perfect pair to get that platform look whilst still being comfortable and easy to walk in, the Lily Platforms have a subtle 2.5cm lift with a flat platform design, so your feet don’t slip forwards into the toe post and cause rubbing. The sole is also cushioned to add to the comfort factor, so there should be no aching feet even if you do wear them all day.

Rather than the usual flimsy rubber that most flip flops are made from, these are made with Brazilian leather which makes them much more durable and comfortable to wear. The soles are still finished with rubber, though, to give you plenty of grip.

Although Kylie opted for the versatile black pair, which she styled with everything from flowing white linen trousers to a pair of polka dot capris pants, you can also pick them up in either a tan or a beige colourway.

It’s worth noting that, thanks to the popularity of the Tkees Lily Platforms, they’re now available on pre-sale, which means they’ll be shipped sometime between July 28 and August 7 – still giving you plenty of time for your holiday wardrobe. However if you need something sooner, we have found some great alternatives like the Schuh Tanisha Leather Toe Post in Black which are on sale for £33.99 down from £45 and have a similar look.

We also love Havaianas’ High Platform flip flops, which retail for £40 and have the classic Haviana look – with the addition of a sloping platform heel. Alternatively FitFlop has launched its Relieff Recovery Toe-Post Sandals for £50, which have the brand’s signature ergonomic design and microwobbleboard footbed, and come in nine different colours.
