Natalie Pinkham CROPS her friend out of selfie with Brad Pitt before posting it to social media as she jokes she is going to make it her phone wallpaper
The Sky Sports presenter, 47, was pictured snapping several shots with fellow Sky presenter Rachel, 51, and the Hollywood hunk at the F1 European premiere.
However in the post shared to her Instagram page, Rachel was nowhere to be seen as she cosied up to Brad in the photograph.
Natalie joked whether her husband Owain Walbyoff - who she affectionately calls Wiggy - and their children would mind if she made the image her phone background.
F1 reporter Natalie has a cameo in the upcoming racing film and was in attendance at the premiere in London on Tuesday afternoon.
Natalie looked lovely for the occasion in a black evening dress with gold chain detailing, which she teamed with a pair of strappy heels.
Elsewhere at the premiere, Brad looked positively smitten as he packed on the PDA with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
He cut a dapper figure as he arrived on the red carpet with the stunning 32-year-old, who was quick to help fix the star's outfit in front of the cameras.
Brad donned a double-breasted British Racing Green-coloured suit, while flashing his movie star smile from behind tinted aviators.
He paired it with a white collared shirt underneath, leaving the top buttons undone to reveal a satin scarf, which Ines was spotted adjusting in between snaps on the carpet.
While she was already picture perfect, putting on a dazzling display in a champagne coloured halter-neck gown, that clung to her slender frame.
She ensured all eyes were on her in the show-stopping number, which was encrusted in intricate beading and sequins and flashed a glimpse of her ample cleavage.

Brad plays the lead role of as troubled race car driver Sonny Hayes, who is pitted against rookie and rival Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) as they battle it out at various Grand Prix's around the world.
While the reviews for F1: The Movie aren't quite all in yet, social media reactions from several critics began flooding in on X this week.
Many praised Brad and Damson's onscreen chemistry, as well the movie's overall look thanks to director Joseph Kosinski, who last worked on Top Gun: Maverick.
With some even branding F1 the 'Top Gun for racing fans' - three years after the Tom Cruise aviator movie made an eye-popping $1.496 billion worldwide.

Molly-Mae cries as she brushes off ‘out of touch' accusations in tearful motherhood update
Molly-Mae Hague wiped away tears as she opened up about motherhood difficulties in a new vlog on Sunday (27 July), declaring: "I don't care who tells me I'm out of touch with reality." In a previous video, the former Love Island star described how she'd told a friend she was going to reach the end of summer 'having not done one social fun thing'. The remark drew criticism on social media, with one commenter saying: "I love Molly-Mae, I think she's sweet, but this complaining is making her look so ungrateful at least she's been on more than one holiday in under a year." In Sunday's update, Molly-Mae said she was trying hard to stay positive, but it was tough because even small tasks — like putting socks and shoes on Bambi — made her daughter scream.

The new law change that will make football ‘much quicker'
A new football law change will make the game a lot quicker, a referee chief has said. A significant new rule was seen during the Euro 2025 final between England and Spain during the penalty shootout. Beth Mead slipped when she took her penalty, causing her to touch the ball twice before the ball hit the back of the net. This is not allowed. Previously, the goal would have been chalked off. But thanks to the new law, it meant she was allowed to retake her penalty kick. If a double-touch happens during a game and a player misses or has the penalty saved, a free-kick will be awarded to the defending team. But it is another law that is being hailed as a positive for the game. Referees can now give corners to the opposition if goalkeepers take more than eight seconds to release the ball from their hands. A previous six-second rule was hardly ever enforced, with refs seemingly reluctant to order indirect free-kicks for the infringement. But a leading referee chief expects this summer's major law change to speed up games without referees having to intervene much, if at all. On the worldwide rule change, Scottish Football Association head of referees Willie Collum said: 'We think it will make the game much quicker because the goalkeepers now are under pressure to release a ball. 'We'll have prepared our referees tactically for that as well, forgetting just about the decision-making, the eight seconds and punishing it. We also know there will be a lot of shorter balls at times in and around the penalty area. We need our referees to be well prepared for that. 'But, it's like any rule change, the clubs are aware of it. We've spoken to a lot of goalkeeper coaches who are saying they've already been coaching it, working at it. So, we don't think we'll see a great amount of issues with that.' Referees will start the count when the goalkeeper is in full control of the ball and is unobstructed by opponents, and will visibly count the last five seconds. If any opposition player pressures or obstructs the goalkeeper, an indirect free-kick will be awarded. Collum added: 'We know that in the League Cup so far, we've not encountered any issues with it at all. It's not been punished once. So we'd hope that would continue throughout the season. We'll be proactive as well in working with the goalkeepers with that.' Another law to come in this summer involves referees: if touch the ball, they will hand a drop ball to the team who would have received it, rather than only resuming the game with possession to the last team that played the ball.

A small Serbian town is home to Robin Hood — in a new TV series
Villages and castles from 12th-century England came to life in a small town in Serbia for the filming of a new series about Robin Hood that has just wrapped in the landlocked country in southeast Europe. The 10-episode take on England's beloved medieval outlaw who, in lore, stole from the rich to give to the poor, comes from Lionsgate Television, and is expected to premiere on MGM+ in the U.S. and parts of Europe later this year. The Associated Press recently visited the set in Simanovci, the village which is home to a film studio and not far from the capital of Belgrade. Thorough research for the series was visible in the scenography and costumes, taking the cast — and the studio — back in time to the stony interiors of a candlelit castle, complete with stained-glass lancet windows. The 'sweeping, romantic adventure' offers a historically grounded look into how Robin Hood grew up to become an outlaw-turned-hero in the wake of the Norman conquest of England, the producers say. 'We actually show the beginning of Robin Hood,' producer, director and writer Jonathan English, who was a main driving force behind the project, said in an interview. 'We start the story with him as a child.' Self-described as a 'huge fan of all things medieval,' English marveled at Robin Hood's persistent global appeal. 'You can stop a pensioner on the streets of Belgrade and he knows who Robin Hood is. You can stop a teenager on the streets of Beijing, and they know who Robin Hood is,' he said. Asked whether the story is still relevant, following countless cinematic and small-screen adaptations, English insisted that 'it is incredibly relevant, probably more today than ... 50 years ago or 100 years ago, even.' 'It's a story about class and the absolute tyranny of class, people who believe that they can have everything and control everything and can own everything and everybody else could just, you know, get lost,' he said. 'There's always been wealthy people, but now you have uber-rich people. And the divide between the uber-rich and the rest of the world is extraordinary now.' The show's plot centers strongly on the romance between Robin and Marian. He is a Saxon forester's son and Marian is the daughter of a Norman lord but they overcome the divide to jointly fight for freedom and against injustice. Australian actor Jack Patten plays Robin, joined by Lauren McQueen as Marian. The two appear alongside Sean Bean as the notorious Sheriff of Nottingham, and Connie Nielsen, who plays Eleanor of Aquitaine, the queen of England and wife of Henry II. Patten admitted he was nervous ahead of his 'third gig since getting out of drama school.' His Robin is 'any young 24-year-old ... trying to find his place in the world' and who 'gets dealt some pretty tricky cards.' McQueen said Marian's character will be 'quite empowering' for young women watching the series. Filmed in multiple locations in Serbia and with hundreds of staff and crew, the series is 'huge' even by Hollywood standards, showrunner and writer John Glenn said. He described the new show as 'much more Peaky Blinders in tone' than previous incarnations, referring to the hit U.K. TV series about gangsters in 1920s Birmingham. Both Glenn and English said they chose Serbia because of high-standard facilities and crews but also because of the natural scenery that could mimic a medieval English landscape. 'It's hard to find ancient forests now in England,' English said. 'There's not a lot of undeveloped wilderness."
