Inside Brooklyn's feud with David and Victoria as he snubs dad's knighthood
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have been at the centre of a feud with the Beckhams, with the aspiring chef snubbing his father's recent knighthood When David Beckham was revealed to be in the King's Birthday Honours List, his son, Brooklyn, was nowhere to be found on social media congratulating him. His other sons, Cruz and Romeo, took to their Instagram pages to share their pride for the football icon, with Cruz writing: "I'm so proud dad I love you. Sir David Beckham, has a nice ring to it." Romeo posted on his Stories: "So so proud of you." Victoria posted a loving snap of herself kissing her husband on his cheek, before gushing: "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. "Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us every day. But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much." However, Brooklyn opted to post an advert for Pretzel Pita Chips half an hour the news was revealed. Not long after, he returned to his Instagram Stories to share a snap of his snack, which included whiskey, caviar, wine and his hot sauce. According to sources, David never told Brooklyn about his accolade and the former aspiring chef learned about the achievement through the media. A source for Brooklyn told Page Six he was thrilled his dad was finally receiving the honour, while a source quoted as someone close to his parents told the publication: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect." There had been rumours of a family feud for months, with fans noticing how Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed Victoria's birthday party for Coachella. A month later, Brooklyn and his socialite wife were absent from David's multiple lavish celebrations for his milestone 50th birthday, including the intimate dinner in Paris and the celebrity party in Notting Hill. Things heated up when he declared that he will "always choose" his wife Nicola in an Instagram post. The comment from Brooklyn comes after weeks of speculation over the state of his relationship with his parents and his brother Romeo Beckham. There has been plenty of talk of what sparked the falling out - with Romeo's relationship with ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull a big part of it. Brooklyn briefly dated Kim before he was married to Nicola and has apparently called her integrity into question. Brooklyn was said to be concerned about ex Kim's motives in dating his younger brother and wasn't sure she had his best interests at heart. Sources claimed that the rift between the pair was why Brooklyn and his Nicola were not present when David held a pre-birthday party. In recent days, it was reported that the hot sauce enthusiast told his famous parents he 'wants no contact' with them. Sources close to Brooklyn told Page Six that he was thrilled his dad was finally receiving the honour and had known it was so important. However, a separate source close to the Beckhams told the publication: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect." Yet a separate Brooklyn source denied the claim, saying: "This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honour being bestowed on Brooklyn's father."

Skins star unrecognisable as he reunites with cast 12 years after show ended
Former Skins star Ollie Barbieri has shed the thick curls he was once known for – and is looking unrecognisable 12 years after the show ended. Ollie, 33, played Jonah Jeremiah Jones – aka JJ – in series 3 and 4 of the raucous teenage drama. During his run on the show, the character found himself in a love triangle between Effy (Kaya Scodelario), Cook (Jack O'Connell) and Freddie (Luke Pasqualino). In the end, JJ settled down with girlfriend Lara (Georgia Henshaw) and her baby from a previous relationship. JJ bowed out in 2010, while the show lasted three more series before coming to an end with series 7 in 2013. Ollie joined Kaya and other members of the cast as they reunited for the birthday of twins Kathryn and Megan Prescott, who played Katie and Emily Fitch. Posting a series of snaps from their birthday, actress and OnlyFans model Megan shared an image of herself and sister Kathryn as they posed with co-stars Klariza Clayton, Kaya and Ollie. 'Happy birthday Meg & Kat… the last time we were together we were all a lil bit younger, little bit dumber & hadn't had the pleasure of waking up with sore knees… love you all xx Y2K 4 EVA,' wrote Kaya as she also shared the image to her Instagram account. 'This is such a nice photo but I must implore you to edit the caption kaya 🤣 (or have I just been on O.F. so long that I read the sore knees thing as something entirely different…🤦♀️😂) xx' joked Megan in the comments below. Boasting a tight haircut, designer stubble and fashionable spectacles, the all-grown-up Ollie looked a world away from shy, nerdy JJ. Followers were shocked to see Ollie's new look, with AkonKitty commenting: 'Happy Birthday and happy to see Skins family!!! Is that JJ on the left?' 'In the end JJ won,' joked j0estrodamus. Meanwhile, others were cheered to see the cast reunite after all these years. 'This heals my inner teenage self seeing you all grown together 😭❤️' said conniekaraitiana. 'the fact you guys are still friends all of these years later 🥺🥹' said hotbriochedameron. 'Happy birthday to you both :) so awesome to see so many of you still in contact ❤️' commented dan_runner_7. 'Aww, a little skins reunion for a special day. 🥺 I cannot word how much I adore those friendships <3' said Following Skins, Ollie went on to appear in the urban drama spoof Anuvahood, where he played a character named Enrique. In 2017, he reunited with fellow Skins alumnus Klariza – who played Freddie's sister, Karen. Starring in the thriller Blood Money, Ollie and Klariza marked their reunion by posing for a selfie together as they shared transport on the way to set. 'Reunited with @klarizaclayton Yeah we're getting a ferry to set,' he wrote in the accompanying caption. These days, the actor lives in London with his girlfriend, journalist and Huffpost editor Dayna McAlpone. Other members of the cast have gone on to achieve varying levels of success since graduating from Skins. Along with 33-year-old Kaya, breakout stars Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel and Daniel Kaluuya have all gone on to become giants in the world of Hollywood. Last year, Kaya revealed how she 'pushed back' against sex scenes in the spin-off series Skins: Fire. 'I felt much more confident in saying what I felt during that series,' she told The Guardian. More Trending 'When the first draft came through, there were a lot of sex scenes in it, and I could tell it was because I turned 18, and that meant that they could show more. And I went back and said: 'No, there's no need to do that'.' Reflecting on her time in Skins, she said: 'Nothing too awful ever happened [on the set of Skins], thank God, but it could have, and I think that's what's scary about it. What's wonderful now is that every production is aware that a sex scene is essentially a stunt, and it should be choreographed. '[We] were so grateful and happy to be there that we did as we were told most of the time. But this was a show that was created by older grown-ups, and it would have been cool to have more conversations as actors about what we were doing. She continued: '[We] were treated like teenagers that were there to make a teenage show. It was nice that we felt free and didn't understand the politics of the business – we weren't worrying about whose face was going to be on the poster or who was earning more than who. But at the same time, it's important to treat actors like actors.' Got a story?

How to lock your Nectar card after Sainsbury's shoppers have points stolen
Sainsbury's shoppers are being warned to lock their Nectar cards to avoid their points from being stolen. The supermarket was forced to introduce the lock function thanks to scammers draining accounts of hard-earned Nectar points. Shoppers saving up their points to spend at Christmas or on other special occasions have been left 'really upset' and disappointed to find their balance had been spent, sometimes in branches they had never visited before. The ease with which scammers can access Nectar points was revealed in January, when This Is Money revealed more than 12million points worth some £63,000 had been taken in the year prior. Despite introducing the account lock back in February, Nectar and Sainsburys customer services are still dealing with numerous complaints about stolen points. Experts have now issued fresh warnings reminding shoppers to activate the account lock and check their Nectar point balance frequently – especially if you're intending to save your points for Christmas or another annual event. Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor at Eset, told The Sun: 'It's especially important to monitor accounts more often just before Christmas as this is usually when criminals target accounts with points that have been accumulated over the year.' Consumer expert Martyn James said the majority of customers would be 'unaware' their Nectar points had vanished 'because we rarely look at the app or check the total on our receipts'. He suggested: 'Download the latest version of the app and activate the lock feature. 'But Sainsbury's need to reassure customers about why this is happening so we can shop with confidence.' 43-year-old Amber Shuker-Bright said she and her husband lost £60 of points. 'We do what most people do – save them for Christmas,' the mum-of-one told Metro. She realised something was wrong when she got an email thanking her for redeeming 2000 points in Brixton on April 12, but thought: 'I'm in Putney and I haven't even left my house.' The mum-of-one said her husband lost even more this weekend, when scammers spent 10,000 of his points, worth £50, in Camden. She did not know there had been issues with points theft in the past, or that there was an option to lock her account, saying this should be made more clear. Sainsbury's has refunded the couple's points after checking they were spent outside of their usual area, but sales assistant Amber said she is worried many customers wouldn't even realise they were victims, as they might assume their partner had spent the points on a linked account. She said the incident left her worried about how scammers got her details, and what else they may have accessed. There are no ID checks needed to spend Nectar points, except at Argos eif you're spending more than £50. A loophole meant that anyone with a user's account number or barcode could potentially spend their points, unless the spend lock feature was turned on. Last year, Cian Heasley, Threat Lead at Adarma cyber security firm, told Metro previously: 'The specific nature of this vulnerability hasn't been disclosed, but it could be that the attackers are conducting a brute-force attack. 'In this type of attack, malicious individuals, either manually or through automation, attempt to log into a customer reward portal using randomly generated reward account numbers. 'When they do not receive a 'no such user' or similar error message, they know the account is active and can generate a barcode scannable account identifier to spend the reward points. 'To defend against this attack, app developers should incorporate security measures into the app's design. For instance, they should require a full login or identity authentication to spend points and ensure that login portals do not indicate whether accounts are valid or not. 'Limiting the number of login attempts before imposing a timeout can also slow down brute-force guessing attacks. 'The attackers may also be using credential stuffing, a cyber-attack where hackers use breached account information, like usernames and passwords, to gain unauthorised access to other online accounts. 'To protect against credential stuffing, it is crucial that individuals do not reuse passwords across different accounts, enable multifactor authentication whenever possible, and consider using a password manager to store and manage passwords for various apps and websites securely.' In order to lock your Nectar card, you must download the Nectar app from the Apple store or Google Play. Once you have downloaded the app and signed in with your Nectar card number, open the settings and click on the 'lock or unlock spending' option. There you can choose whether to lock or unlock the ability to spend nectar points. Shoppers can toggle between the two options at any time using the app, and can still earn points when they shop even if the spend option is locked. But users aren't able to spend their points to get money off their shopping or other deals until the option is unlocked again. Unlocking should be instantaneous, but it may take a bit longer during busy times or in busy shops – meaning it might be best to unlock spending before you head out to the supermarket. A Nectar spokesperson said: 'Nectar is one of the UK's biggest loyalty schemes, with over 23million members. More Trending 'The security of our customer accounts is our highest priority and the proportion of those impacted by fraud each year is very small. 'We have a range of measures which detect, and in many cases prevent fraud, including our Spend Lock feature. 'Our Nectar Helpline team are on hand to support any customer who suspects they may have been a victim of fraud.'
