Judi Dench, 90, reveals worrying health update saying she struggles every day

Earlier this year, Dame Judi told how she “can’t leave home alone” due to the worrying condition.

And now she has admitted she’s lost her vision completely.

The Oscar-winner, who scooped the accolade for her role as supporting actress in Shakespeare in Love, has said: “I can’t see any more.”

She told the crowds at Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds, where she is a patron: “When I go to the theatre, I can’t see.

“Hopeless.”

Yet she revealed she had been catching up on the Celebrity Traitors “dirt” – and how pal Celia Imrie was getting on – through word of mouth.

It comes after the star of screen and stage told how it was “impossible” to read scripts.

CONDITION REVEAL

Macular degeneration is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, affecting more than 700,000 people.

AMD is an eye disease that can blur an individual’s central vision.

According to the National Eye Institute, age-related macular degeneration “happens when aging causes damage to the macula – the part of the eye that controls sharp, straight-ahead vision.”

The disease does not cause total blindness, but it can make everyday activities difficult.

LIFE-CHANGING

Judi has been candid in addressing her worsening health battle.

During an interview on Trinny Woodall’s Fearless podcast, Dame Judi says “somebody will always be with me” when she leaves the house.

She continued: “I have to [have someone] now because I can’t see.

What is age-related macular degeneration (AMD)?

DAME Judi Dench has spoken openly about her diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Yet what is it?

Macular degeneration is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, affecting more than 700,000 people.

It first affects people in their 50s.

AMD is an eye disease that can blur an individual’s central vision.

According to the National Eye Institute, age-related macular degeneration “happens when aging causes damage to the macula – the part of the eye that controls sharp, straight-ahead vision.”

The disease does not cause total blindness, but it can make everyday activities difficult.

Recently, we reported on research which suggested a person’s choice of morning brew could impact their eyesight.

In a study of more than 500,000 people, scientists from the Hubei University of Medicine in China found a link between instant coffee intake and the risk of dry AMD – one of the forms of the sight-robbing disease.

In contrast, ground coffee and decaffeinated brews bore no links to AMD.

“And I will walk into something or fall over.

“I’m always nervous before going to something.

“I have no idea why. I’m not good at that at all.

“Not at all. Nor would I be now.

“And fortunately, I don’t have to be now because I pretend to have no eyesight.”

The Oscar winner, famed for playing M on nine James Bond movies, added she was “no good at that at all” when she used to attend events alone.

SCREEN QUEEN

Dame Judi made her professional debut in 1957 with the Old Vic Company and is now referred to as one of Britain’s best actresses.

After landing roles on TV and in movies from the late 50s, she has starred in a plethora of big titles, with IMDB crediting her for 120 on-screen productions.

Some of her notable roles include Chocolat, Notes on a Scandal, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Philomena and Iris and also her role as “M” in several James Bond films.

She’s a ten-time Bafta winner including winning Best Actress in A Fine Romance (1981) in which she appeared with her late husband, Michael Williams.

Judi has also been nominated for six Oscars and won one of these as Best Supporting Actress for Shakespeare in Love in 1998.

She has also won seven Laurence Olivier Awards and has a further eight nominations under her belt for her professional theatre work.

She was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1970, and a Dame of Order of the British Empire in 1988.

Beckham feud reignited as Brooklyn fails to post about David’s knighthood

THE ongoing Beckham feud has been reignited after Brooklyn failed to post anything about his dad David’s knighthood.

Today Sir David, 50, was awarded his long awaited knighthood by King Charles at Windsor Castle in front of his famous family – but his eldest son was nowhere to be seen.

David’s wife – the newly appointed Lady Victoria – and parents Ted and Sandra Beckham watched on proudly as he received the coveted honour.

Joining them were his three other children, Romeo , 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.

The ex-England and Manchester United star was knighted by King Charles for his services to sport and charity.

However, during what Becks called the “proudest moment of his life”, his first born was nowhere to be seen.

CONGRATS, SIR

Victoria and kids congratulate Becks on knighthood but Brooklyn stays silent


ROW BREWING

Brooklyn Beckham locked in fresh feud weeks after family clash revealed

Brooklyn is also yet to acknowledge his dad’s huge achievement on social media.

Both Romeo and Cruz have posted pictures from the historical ceremony today.

Romeo even wrote next to his picture of his family at Windsor Castle: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much. Congrats Sir dad.”

But their big brother Brooklyn has remained completely silent.

It should be noted that he is living in LA, so with the time difference he may not have had chance to write a message of support yet.

It comes as David’s eldest child is believed to have “quit” the famous family this year following rising tension.

The Beckham family feud is understood to have actually started four years ago, when Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, 30, refused to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria.

Tensions then became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria on Mother’s Day. He then failed to show at any of David’s 50th birthday parties.

Meanwhile, Becks put the feud behind him today to receive the biggest honour of career and become Sir David Beckham.

It marks the end of an agonising wait for the charity ambassador, who was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011.

In a lengthy Instagram post he said: “I can’t even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King. I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour.”

Sir David then went onto reveal just how much the honour meant to him.

Becks then added a sweet message to his four kids, and wrote: “To my beautiful children who I am so proud of and I know this is a proud and inspiring day for them as well, they are our greatest joy in life and my inspiration every single day. I love you all so much…”

Katie Price shares worryingly thin snaps after hospital visit over weight loss

KATIE Price looks worryingly thin in new snaps – after admitting she’d been to hospital over weight loss mystery.

The pics came just a day after the former glamour model, 46, showed off her super-toned stomach following a new beauty procedure.

They are also hot on the heels of the mum of five’s medical trip, where fans were left concerned when she was rushed to hospital.

Katie, who has claimed medics are baffled by her slimmed-down frame, was seen posing in all-black attire for a recent photoshoot.

The reality TV star pulled on a snug black zipped tracksuit from brand JYY London, giving her Facebook followers a glimpse from both the front and the rear.

Katie flashed a huge smile as she struck her poses against a brick wall in a garden, and gushed in the image caption: “So comfy it’s unreal.”

Katie Price shares snap of son Harvey in hospital after fat jabs weight loss

Yet instead of honing in on the loungewear, some social media users opted to make distasteful remarks on her shape.

One female Facebook user posted: “Shame isn’t it she was stunning once.”

One then posted: “U must be freezing all the time.’

Katie’s loyal fans were quick to have her back and one sarcastically clapped back at the user: “Very mature.”

Another posted: “Calling people names is why a lot of people begin to hate themselves and go to far with plastic surgery. Not nice at all.”

Earlier this week, Katie revealed her “snatched and defined” look as she headed for lymphatic drainage in Greater Manchester.

A series of images posted to Drain and Define’s Instagram page showed her lying on her back, with her bare tummy and array of body artwork exposed.

Katie, who sought further medical advice for her weight just last month, has undergone an “ultimate reset” with full-body lymphatic drainage treatment.

Katie Price surgery boxout

KATIE Price’s love for surgery is no secret – here’s the details

1998 – Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction

1999 – Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup

2006 – Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup

2007 – Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth

2008 – Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup

2011 – Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers

2014/5 – Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed

2016 – Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers

2017 – After a disastrous ‘threading’ facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup

2018 – Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift

2019 – After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck

2020 – Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers

2021 –  In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction

2022 – Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes ‘biggest ever’ boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total

2023 – Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year

2024 – Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection

HEALTH CONCERNS

Just last month, Katie uploaded a selfie to social media with a concerning caption.

She wrote: “First day off and straight to the doctors to find out what’s happened to my weight.”

She also shared another snap of herself in a pink hoodie and said: “Doctors for bloods to see why I’m losing weight.”

This comes after she revealed she was in hospital last month after drastically shedding the pounds over the past 12 months.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner told her fans on Snapchat at the time: “I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s*** they had three attempts.

“They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.

“And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did.”

Her frail frame has been a cause of concern for her fans over the last few months, with many of her loyal followers taking to the comments section of her pictures to share their worries.

FAMILY CLAP BACK

Her fans aren’t the only ones who have shared their concerns as the former glamour model’s family have also said their piece.

In August, while filming the first episode of her new podcast, The Katie Price show, she was joined by her sister Sophie.

As the podcast was wrapping up, the sister duo were joined by Sophie’s dad and Katie stepdad Paul as talk soon turned to Katie’s weight loss.

On the episode, Katie, who recently showed off her newest surgery, asked her dad: “What are you looking at?” to which he replied: “Look how thin them legs are, terrible they are, my hand can go round them.”

Katie was heard insisting: “I am happy,” as her dad retorted: “No it’s not right, it’s probably that vaping crap.”

JoJo posed for another selfie on the beach, and revealed her toned figure in a tiny pink bikini.

JoJo and Chris are in a long distance relationship but have already been discussing marriage plans.

And Chris has revealed the moment they made their romance official, after Celebrity Big Brother viewers suspected they were more than just friends.

He has spoken openly about their connection on the Question The Default podcast with Harry Corin, in which he told “nothing was rushed or forced, it just happened.”

He then confirmed it was when he flew Mexico in May that they made things official.

He surprised her at a festival she was playing at which happened few weeks after CBB – with her family there – and they became an item.

Chris said they “rekindled and met up in Mexico” and said: “I flew out to surprise her, which was nice.

“I spent a few days with her and her family in Orlando as well before flying home and that’s where it all started.”

Later in the chat, he said: “I went to Mexico and met up with her which is where the whole feelings developed and things changed.

“Which was lovely and no secret to anybody.

“But it was genuinely lovely and nothing was rushed or forced it just happened.”

The Boomerang songstress talked about her potential wedding plans in an exclusive chat with The Sun. 

She said: “A wedding is a two-person thing. So we would have to decide what it looks like.

“But I do know that I want it to have a baby-blue scheme and I need to help Chris make the playlist.

“Otherwise, it’ll be all songs I don’t know!

“He likes to educate me on music. He loves The 1975 and all these boy bands, but I don’t know any of them as they are British.

Blow for Eamonn Holmes, 65, as romance with girlfriend, 43, ‘comes under strain’ and he splits from management company

EAMONN Holmes has been dealt a double blow as he deals with ‘relationship issues’ and a split from his management company.

In September, we revealed the veteran broadcaster, 65, had been lavishing expensive gifts on his younger girlfriend Katie Alexander, 43, amid a strained spell.

And it appears things are still rocky, with a source telling the Mail that they’re spending an increasing amount of time apart.

The insider said: “He’s grumpier than ever and his health problems really aren’t helping, but instead of moving closer to Katie and settling, he’s spending more time with his family in Belfast, often without her.”

The couple, who first began speaking as friends on social media platform X in 2015, became romantic last year – just months after Eamonn’s split from wife Ruth Langsford was made public.

To make matters worse, Eamonn is no longer represented by InterTalent Rights Group and his manager Jonathan Shalit, who has overseen his career since 2022.

Eamonn Holmes embarks on money-spinning tour to rake in cash amid divorce

Prior to that, Eamonn had enjoyed a fruitful relationship with YMU, who continue to represent his ex-wife Ruth Langsford.

Relations between Eamonn and YMU soured in 2021 when the GBNews star allegedly felt his telly rival Phillip Schofield was receiving preferential treatment.

This was prior to Schofield being axed from ITV for lying about a relationship with a younger male member of staff.

At the time, Eamonn was livid that he and Ruth had been let go from their Friday slot on the show after 14 years of service. They were replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.

Now, Eamonn has lost another longstanding gig.

Virgin radio host Ryan Tubridy has replaced him as host of The Irish Post Awards in London – a role Eamonn has held since 2013.

A difficult performance last year, in which Eamonn struggled with mobility issues amid chronic health problems, reportedly prompted bosses to look for an alternative.

A source said: “The truth is that Eamonn is an Irish legend but things didn’t really go well last time – and it’s felt that it’s time he moved over for the more appropriate talent waiting in the wings.

“This time around, it just felt foolhardy to stick with him even though he’s been such a big part of things for so long.”

The Sun has contacted an InterTalent representative for comment.

Despite the reports of low mood, Eamonn isn’t resting on his laurels.

He recently announced a six date Northern Irish tour titled This Is My Life.

It will delve into his “humble beginnings” in Belfast to the “dazzling heights” of national TV.

The synopsis continues: “From triumph to tragedy, named after Eamonn Andrews, don’t miss Eamonn Holmes – This is My Life.”

In the video, the pair can be seen lounging in bed together eating chocolate with their daughter Bambi, looking relaxed and affectionate.

The influencer also opened up about their living arrangements, explaining that Tommy had temporarily moved back in with her while his own house undergoes renovation.

She said: “He’s doing building work in his master bedroom so it’s unliveable,” adding that he’s been spending most of his time at her Cheshire mansion.

The move marks a big milestone for the couple, who met on Love Island in 2019.

They welcomed their daughter, Bambi, in January 2023.

However, their relationship hit the rocks last year and Molly-Mae ditched her engagement ring as she kicked Tommy out of their home.

Despite the split, she confirmed they were working on their relationship in her Prime fly on the wall series Behind It All series one.

Then in Behind It All series two, Molly, 26, said: “Recently, we have been spending more time together.

“Going out together in public more which at first was scary because we didn’t know what we were going to say.

“We had literally broken up and then suddenly spending time together again.”

She explained: “We are back together. Like we are back together.

“We are, I don’t know what we are.”

Opening up about her fears the Maebe fashion designer explained that she wasn’t quite ready to wear her £600k ring again.

She said: “I’m not putting my ring back on yet just because I don’t feel quite ready.

“And also because I would kinda quite like for him to make a kind of a gesture.

“Not ask me again. That’s a lot but just a nice dinner or something.

“Just to like have that moment of ok, I’ll wear my ring again.”

Now, their reunion and Molly-Mae’s decision to live with Tommy full-time has fuelled speculation the couple could be planning for a second baby.

In her recent vlog, Molly-Mae hinted that family life is once again her top priority, telling fans she’s “in a really happy place.”

Shocked Lily Allen is asked about ‘Madeline’ after accusing ex of cheating with scathing album

LILY Allen was stopped awkwardly in her tracks as she was asked “Who is Madeline?” following the release of her bombshell new album.

On the LP, West End Girl, Lily, 40, accuses her ex David Harbour, 50, of infidelity with someone called Madeline – though she has stressed the record is a combination of fact and fiction.

Following its release, the real life Madeline spoke out, with New Orleans based costume designer Natalie Tippett, 34, claiming to have been involved in the fling.

In a new interview with Perfect magazine, Lily was put on the spot and asked to name the title of her songs as the interviewer read lyrics in a dramatic style.

It was a trip down memory lane, with Lily correctly answering Not Fair, The Kooks’ Naive, Cheryl Tweedy, Friday Night and Pussy Palace.

She was then asked directly: “Who the f**k is Madeline?”

STRANGER THINGS

Huge clue Lily Allen and David Harbour’s bitter split has turned a corner


CHANGER THINGS

Lily Allen & ‘cheating’ ex David selling home & are set to make HUGE profit

Pop star Lily, who was sitting on a toilet in a glamorous mini dress embellished with a large bow, momentarily hesitated before saying “erm that’s Tennis”.

On the track, which documents her discovering that her man’s connection with another woman is deeper than just sex, Lily sings: “So I read your text, and now I regret it. I can’t get my head ’round how you’ve been playing tennis.

“If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous. You won’t play with me. And who’s Madeline?”

It has been put in the same lane as Dolly Parton classic Jolene, which sees the country star plead with an attractive woman not to steal her man, and Beyoncé’s Sorry, in which she takes aim at ‘Becky with the good hair’ after husband Jay-Z admitted to being unfaithful.

Stranger Things star David and Natalie reportedly began an affair while working on 2021 film We Have A Ghost, and he later allegedly flew Natalie to his home in Atlanta, Georgia.

He had married Lily the previous year in a Las Vegas ceremony.

Speaking from her home in New Orleans’ historic Treme district, Natalie told Daily Mail she was the woman behind “Madeline”.

When approached by Daily Mail, Natalie said: “Of course I’ve heard the song.

“But I have a family and things to protect.

“I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on.

“It’s a little bit scary for me.”

The affair reportedly came to light when Lily found an incriminating text on David’s phone.

The discovery inspired several tracks on her new album, which details betrayal and heartbreak.

Natalie declined to discuss the lyrics further, saying: “Yeah… I just don’t feel comfortable talking about it at the moment.”

The Sun has contacted Lily and David’s reps for comment.

Lily and David announced their split in January after four years of marriage.

It is understood they separated in December, with Lily spending Christmas alone with her children in Kenya.

The LDN hitmaker was previously married to Sam Cooper from 2011-2018, although the relationship was understood to have crumbled some time before they made their split official.

Lily Allen’s most shocking West End Girl lyrics

Madeline

Perhaps the most eye-opening track on the album, Madeline tells the story of lovers who had a pact to be open in their relationship, but that trust was broken when the man struck up a romance with a woman called Madeline.

“Saw your text, that’s how I found out, tell me the truth and his motives
I can’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth
We had an arrangement
Be discreet and don’t be blatant
There had to be payment
It had to be with strangers
But you’re not a stranger, Madeline”

Tennis

Lily sings about finding messages from another woman on her man’s phone that shows the secret lovers have a deeper connection than just sex.

“So I read your text, and now I regret it
I can’t get my head ’round how you’ve been playing tennis
If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous
You won’t play with me
And who’s Madeline?”

Ruminating

A heartbreaking reflection on a once trusted partner being intimate with someone else behind her back.

“And I can’t shake the image of her naked. On top of you and I’m dissociated.”

“I told you all of this has been too brutal. You told me you felt the same, it’s mutual. And then you came out with this line, so crucial. Yeah, ‘If it has to happen, baby, do you want to know.”

Pussy Palace

This emotional track sees Lily come to terms with a lover using an apartment as a base for sex, but not with her.

“Don’t come home, I don’t want you in my bed. Go to the apartment in the West Village instead. I’ll drop off your clothes, your mail and medication.”

“Up to the first floor, key in the front door. Nothing’s ever gonna be the same anymore.

“I didn’t know it was a pussy palace, pussy palace, pussy palace, pussy palace. I always thought it was a dojo, dojo, dojo. So am I looking at a sex addict, sex addict, sex addict, sex addict? Oh talk about a low blow, oh, no, oh, no.”

Dallas Major

The title of this track is a pseudonym used by a woman, who sounds very much like Lily, on a dating app as she looks for validation and attention while her absent husband looks for affection elsewhere.

“My name is Dallas Major and I’m coming out to play. Looking for someone to have fun with while my husband walks away. I’m almost nearly forty, I’m just shy of five foot two. I’m a mum to teenage children, does that sound like fun to you?”

“So I go by Dallas Major but that’s not really my name. You know I used to be quite famous, that was way back in the day. Yes, I’m here for validation and I probably should explain. How my marriage has been open since my husband went astray.”

“Yeah, but I appreciate your concerns and listen, it’s getting better by the minute, but I will explain how it happened another time, but just to reassure you, I am alright.

“Alright, lots of love. Bye.”

Yesterday, his son Roman shared the news about his dad’s hospital dash.

He explained on the You About podcast with Tom Grennan that his dad had had an accident with a chainsaw. 

The star said it was lucky that his dad wasn’t “fingerless” after the incident, which saw Martin pick the chainsaw up by the blade, to cut down a piece of wood.

The chat began with music star Tom saying to Roman: “What the hell has happened to your dad’s fingers?”

“Oh God,” Roman said, and then added: “It’s scary. Friday night I’d just finished work and looked at my phone, and dad sent a picture of his hand with all fingers heavily strapped up.

“And all he writes underneath in the family WhatsApp group is ‘yep… chainsaw.’”

Roman continued: “I was texting him saying ‘what?!’ but got no reply, and then Harley my sister is like ‘what’s happened?’ but again, no reply.

“So he said ‘Oh there was a bit of the branch that we wanted chopping down so I went and got a chainsaw.”

Roman said his first issue with what had happened was that his dad was handling a chainsaw in the first place.

“He’s 65. He’s got more than enough dough. Get a professional in, you can’t be doing that,” Roman said.

He then added: “My dad said ‘Oh yeah I picked it up by the blade.”

Fearne, 44, was rumoured to be dating Ian – who was 48 at the time of his death – in 2005, before he was jailed for 29 years in 2013 for offences including abusing babies.

Now the presenter has opened up about the struggles she’s been facing recently. 

Writing on Instagram, Fearne said: “Four life lessons from this week. 

“I’m not sleeping well. My brain is a bit wobbly at the moment but I’m grasping the lessons life is chucking my way.”

Fearne was flooded with support from followers and friends, including fellow presenter Holly Willoughby. 

Holly, 44, commented: “Love you Cotton Chops.” 

The two stars, who have been friends for 17 years after starting their careers hosting kids’ TV, are said to have reconnected last year after drifting apart. 

They worked together on Celebrity Juice but reportedly grew apart when Fearne quit the show in 2018. 

Meanwhile Ian is understood to have been ambushed and stabbed as inmates were allowed out of their cells.

West Yorkshire Police confirmed Watkins had died after being “seriously assaulted”.

Victoria Beckham reveals celeb feuds from ‘rude’ meeting with Donatella Versace to being branded ‘a b*****’ on live TV

VICTORIA Beckham has revealed all about her celeb feuds, which included a “rude” meeting with Donatella Versace and also being branded “a b*****” on live TV.

In her Netflix documentary, which dropped today, Victoria, 51, spilled the beans on life in the spotlight and the struggles she has overcome with fellow stars.

In the doc, Victoria revealed how over the years she has had several encounters with fellow stars that have left her disgruntled.

She talked candidly about how hard she found it trying to relaunch herself as a fashion designer after being a Spice Girl.

Victoria even admitted she was seen as a bit of “laughing stock” during this time.

Speaking on the three-part limited series, she recalled an encounter with Donatella Versace in 1997.

READ MORE ON VICTORIA BECKHAM

She revealed how she was invited by the fashion power house over to Milan on a private jet to go to her first runway show.

Before going to the show, Victoria was invited to pick out a dress from a Versace shop to wear to the prestigious event.

Back then, Posh was known for always wearing a little black dress so she went for this.

However, despite not being a fashion designer at that time, she set about making alterations to it, asking the store staff to tighten the waist, shorten the hemline and take off the sleeves.

“I basically redesigned the whole dress,” Victoria said. “I can’t believe I did that. So rude!”

This in turn did NOT go down well with Donatella.

‘You shouldn’t do it. That’s how I feel,” the fashion designer said on the Netflix doc.

‘Yeah, and I thought “how does she dare?”

However, Donatella, who is now good friends with Victoria, added: “Then I realised it was better on her the way she did it. She knows her body.”

BEING CALLED A ‘B***H’

Victoria also revealed on the Netflix doc how art critic Brian Sewell bluntly branded her a ‘b***h’ on TV – while at the same time praising her husband David Beckham .

Speaking on Alan Titchmarsh’s show in 2009, Brian said: “Beckham is wonderful in what he does; off the field he does all sorts of good works.

“Madame Beckham comes along, wearing virtually nothing, and steals the photographs, steals the occasion – and she’s just a common little b***h.”

MEL B FALL OUT

As she tried to make it in the world of fashion, Victoria tried to distance herself from her Posh Spice alter-ego.

However, in 2008 she was asked to go back out on the road with the Spice Girls.

She explained: “When I was working with (fashion designer) Roland Mouret the other Spice Girls told me they wanted to go on tour…

“David was like, ‘it’s really good for the kids to see you do this’, he mum-guilted me!”

Victoria agreed to the reunion tour and confessed: “I hadn’t been Posh Spice for such a long time. It was good to be back with them.”

But in 2019, when she was asked again to do it, Victoria said “no” – something that did not go down well with Mel B.

Victoria said she was “hurt” by one of Scary Spice’s comments, after she said she didn’t want to do the tour.

“It upset me not too long ago actually – Melanie B said to me ‘don’t forget where you’ve come from’,” Victoria told the doc.

She insisted: “I have never forgotten where I’ve come from. I have never forgotten that Posh Spice is the reason that I’m sitting here now.

“She might have been grumpy but she was actually great.

“It was good to celebrate the Spice Girls but it was during that [2008] tour that I realised I didn’t belong on stage. It had been fun but it wasn’t what I loved anymore.”

SECRET EATING DISORDER

In the doc, brave Victoria also opened up about a crippling eating disorder that she kept secret after leaving the Spice Girls.

She admitted that she starved herself in an effort to stay thin.

She candidly revealed how she became “very good at lying” after losing control of what was being said about her.

“It’s been a lot, and that’s hard. I had no control over what was being written about me, the pictures being taken, and I suppose I wanted to control that,” Victoria revealed in an episode entitled Kill The Wag

“I could control it with the clothing, I could control my weight and I was controlling it in an extremely unhealthy way.

“When you have an eating disorder you become very good at lying and I was never honest about it with my parents.

“I never talked about it publicly. It really affects you when you’re being told constantly that you’re not good enough and I suppose that’s been with me my whole life.”

LAUNCH NIGHT

Netflix’s Victoria Beckham was premiered at the Curzon cinema in Mayfair, central London this week.

Victoria and David were joined by kids Romeo, Harper, Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

Although Brooklyn was not there, Posh held out an olive branch by mentioning him in her speech.

David’s mum, Sandra, and sister Joanne were also present along with the Beckhams’ celebrity pals Tilly and Tana Ramsay.

Three of Victoria’s Spice Girls pals turned up — Ginger Spice Geri Horner, Sporty Spice Mel C and Baby Spice Emma Bunton.

Before the screening Victoria stood on stage and said: “I’d like to thank the Spice Girls — Geri, Emma, Melanie and Melanie. I love you so much and thank you so much.

“My children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, Harper and David — oh, my God, he’s not a child. I was doing so well without cards as well.

“It’s taken me this process to really be proud of what I’ve achieved and to realise finally that I am enough.”

‘BRILLIANTLY CANDID’

By Rod McPhee

WHEN Victoria Beckham’s business was at the height of its extravagant spending she admitted some of her most ostentatious requests included “flying chairs from one side of the world to the other.”

She also spent £70,000 a year on plants for her office – then paid someone £15,000 a year to water them.

Small wonder, she admits, the company was struggling financially. But she confesses in her new documentary that she’d naively gone from the ostentatious world of entertainment to the more business-minded world of fashion.

“I didn’t realise it at the time, but the waste was mind-blowing.” she says in the Netflix three-parter, out now. “I hear it now and I’m horrified but I allowed that to happen.”

She is nothing if not candid in the mini-series, but doesn’t stop there. She goes on to admit, seemingly, that already being a Spice Girl married to a famous footballer meant she was unwittingly at a disadvantage.

She said: “Part of the problem was people were really afraid to tell me ‘No’. I think probably there’s a power, if I’m being honest, the power of celebrity. People thought that I wasn’t used to hearing ‘No’.

“I’ll hold my hands up and hold myself accountable for things that I’ve done, that I should have done, and could have done differently. and I was in debt – there was a lot I had to change.”

If ever you needed definitive proof that Victoria Beckham is as sharp as razor, then this documentary is it.

She could have delivered a bog standard warts and all autobiography for Netflix, or a no holds barred snapshot of her life as a fashion designer.

Instead she’s carefully curated both elements and woven them into this version of events.

It shows how she went from a Spice Girl to the darling of the catwalk and, of course, the head of one of Britain’s most famous families with husband David.

Here she also admits to her own flaws, to the moments when she lost her way and picked herself back up when she inevitably faltered.

But despite now being the successful global fashion icon that is Victoria Beckham, she does it without seeming pious. Instead she oozes genuine humility and sense of humour that proves a huge part of her is still Posh Spice.

David, who joined Radio 1 in the early seventies alongside other veteran DJs such as Tony Blackburn and Noel Edmunds, is a huge name at the BBC.

Today the former Top Of The Pops legend has talked about the affair he had behind his first wife’s back.

David wed make-up artist Sheila Moore in 1962, when he was just 24.

The couple went on to have two children, Jane and David Jr, before splitting up in 1970.

However, David, who is known as ‘Diddy’ thanks to a nickname given to him by the late Ken Dodd, has revealed all about an affair he had when he was wed to Shelia.

Speaking to this week’s Best magazine, he confessed: “I was happily married. Until I fell in love with someone else.

“I went to meet her at Liverpool Street station. She was sitting on her suitcase wearing a fur coat, which she told me later she’d borrowed.

“I just looked at her and thought, wow. I think if anything spoils a marriage, it’s children. Suddenly, the man is taking a back seat.

“Then he meets someone young free and single and thinks, ‘Crikey, I could go back to that happy state I was in before.'”

Continuing his story, David said: “My wife found out because I talked about Roz a lot. I was head over heels. I left my wife and children, and we lived together for four years.”

Speaking about his relationship with an escort David said: “She asked if I would open her new shop, and how much I’d charge. I said ‘£500’.

“She told me she charged £100 for her services, so ‘If you give me five I’ll give you one.’

“That sounded fair, so I collected the first one that evening.

“I thought that would be it. But we’d become very fond of each other.

“She was still working at the club and I was getting in too deep.”

David is now married to second wife Dreena, an aerobics teacher, who he was set up with on a blind date.

They were wed in 1993, and have been together ever since.

Reflecting on the early years of their relationship, Dreena told the Mail: “There was quite a brouhaha when we got together.

“My friends did say, ‘You can’t marry him. He is a womaniser’, but we’ve been together for 40 years now, married for 30.

“And there are no regrets there.”

While David told Best magazine: “Dreena is the wind beneath my wings. One of the reasons it works is she doesn’t take any c**p from me!”

Watch as fuming Cara Delevingne has ‘do you know who I am?’ moment after being forced to queue at PFW

CARA Delevingne was left fuming as she had an awkward “do you know who I am?” moment at Paris Fashion Week.

The model, 33, was seen queuing up for Stella McCartney’s fashion show on Tuesday.

Cara were among a line of guests attending the star-studded event.

The actress looked stylish in a black tank top with the slogan of The Beatles’ legendary hit track Come Together.

A clip taken of the moment showed Cara standing in the queue looking frustrated.

The Brit star had her hand hand on her hip and an unimpressed expression on her face.

Just seconds into the video, Cara edged her way closer to the front and said: “I’m just going to walk in.”

But the star appeared to be stopped by a staff member, who was checking QR codes before they could enter the venue.

Looking increasingly annoyed, Cara held out her phone before becoming impatient and lifting up her dark sunglasses.

The woman letting people into the show quickly realised it was Cara and apologised for not letting her in straight away.

After placing her shades back on her face, Cara quickly said: “Yes can I go, is that okay? Thank you.”

She was then seen hastily storming off and towards the entrance.

There was also footage of Cara arriving at the event, which showed her joining the back of a queue, with other attendees.

But the star almost went unrecognised wrapped in a leather jacket and sunglasses covering her face.

Fans were quick to mock Cara for pushing her way to the front.

One wrote: “Not the ‘I’m Cara delevingne’ whilst pulling up the shades lol.”

A second posted: “Poor her she had to wait in line.”

“She always has a snarly face. So full of herself,” this person said.

Someone else shared: “It’s because she used to walk the shows and now she’s queues the shows.”

Another added: “These people that just act disgusted being ‘known# yet have to use being known to get in an event.”

But some fans were more sympathetic for Cara and said she should have been let in straight away without queuing.

This fan wrote: “No she deserves to get in. The team should’ve prepared for this. She walked the show.”

“Omg I love that she lifts her glasses and she’s like go ahead,” a second supporter said.

Another shared: “She was literally the FACE of a whole brand and she couldn’t be let in? This seems disorganized. She should have access a different way as well.”

Cara attended in support of best friend Stella as she unveiled her Spring/Summer 2026 collection during her latest show in the French capital.

Cara’s Beatles themed top was a nod to Stella’s dad Paul McCartney.

A host of A-listers were also at the show, including Paris Jackson, Helen Mirren and Woody Harrolson.

SOBER PARTY

In August, Cara was spotted driving herself home as she celebrated a sober birthday — three years after getting clean.

The supermodel was joined by celeb pals in LA for the bash.

Cara, who went to rehab after a meltdown in September 2022, proved she is sticking to her clean-living ways by driving to and from the Chateau Marmont.

She was joined at the party by her best mate, Barbie actress Margot Robbie, 35, as well as musicians Bebe Rexha, Tyga and Paris Jackson, plus Succession actor Macaulay Culkin.

She has told how she was prompted to seek help after she was photograped acting eratically at an LA airport three years ago.

Wearing a Britney Spears T-shirt, she was dishevelled and jittery after being forced off rapper Jay-Z’s private jet.

She later told Vogue: “I hadn’t slept. I was not OK. It’s heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, OK, I don’t look well.

“You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for.”

Hailing her new-found sobriety, she said to Elle: “It’s been worth every second. I just don’t know what it would take for me to give it up. I am stable. I’m calmer.”

Asked what she had learned, she replied: “That I’m resilient as hell. That anything is possible. I think I used to say that and not believe it. But now I really believe it.”

Inside Cheryl’s six bedroom four million pound mega mansion she shared with ex husband as it goes on sale

CHERYL is selling her four million pound mega mansion she once shared with her ex husband.

The Girls Aloud singer, 42, lived in the posh Hertfordshire pad during her brief second marriage to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.

Cheryl has now put the huge house on the market for a cool £4M.

It was previously listed in 2017 for £5M, but has since dropped in price.

The Fight For This Love singer’s impressive property comes complete with six bedrooms, a swimming pool and a cinema.

The stunning 8,500 sq ft home also has a bar, wine cellar, huge living room and sprawling garden.

The star pad has a brick exterior and includes a round wing known as The Kiln.

The house actually featured on Channel 4‘s Britain’s Most Expensive Houses

On the show, estate agent Jeremy Fine said of the property: “It’s actually one of my favourite homes I’ve ever dealt with. It’s been super popular with a huge amount of big names, footballers, A-list celebrities.

“Cheryl Cole was living here at the height of her fame and it was an incredible hideaway for her because this house is so tucked away.” Let’s take a look inside…

Cheryl lived at the home with Frenchman Jean for the brief time they were married, and it was built not long before they moved in, in 2015.

The former couple met during Cannes Film Festival in 2014 before tying the knot in a private ceremony on the Caribbean island of Mustique in July of the same year.

However the marriage fell apart and after months of speculation, the split was confirmed in January 2016, and the couple were granted a decree nisi in October of the same year.

Meanwhile, it comes just days after Cheryl made her first red carpet appearance since the passing of her ex, Liam Payne.

The One Direction star, who Cheryl shares son Bear with, passed away last October.

On Tuesday, she was seen at London‘s Lyric Theatre alongside fellow Girls Aloud star, Kimberley Walsh, to support their bandmate Nicola Roberts in her West End debut in the production of Hadestown.

Cheryl has largely been out of the public eye since Liam Payne‘s passing.

She was last seen on-stage with her Girls Aloud bandmates when they headlined Brighton Pride last August.

The band have been closer than ever after rallying around one another following Sarah Harding‘s tragic passing in 2022.

As well as supporting each other privately, they came together for a huge reunion tour in 2024 which went on to become the UK’s biggest arena tour of the decade so far.

Robbie, 51, has claimed that his Tourette’s are ‘intrusive’ while speaking on a podcast about it for the first time. 

The music legend starred on the first episode of the new season of Paul Whitehouse and Dr Mine Conkbayir’s podcast I’m ADHD! No You’re Not. 

He said: “I’ve just realised that I have Tourettes, but they don’t come out. 

“They are intrusive thoughts that happen, I was just walking down the road the other day, and I realised that these intrusive thoughts are inside Tourettes. It just doesn’t come out.

“Not only that, you would think that a stadium full of people professing their love to you would work as (a distraction), but whatever it is inside me cannot hear it. I cannot take it in.”
