Famous comedian 'escorted out' of Sir Mick Jagger's birthday after incident
Beckett, 38, scored an invite to the exclusive celebration at Chelsea hotspot The Rex Rooms as the plus one of fellow comic Jimmy Carr.
The star-studded guest list included Ronnie Wood, Sacha Baron Cohen, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, and fashion icon Lulu Guinness – but Beckett's rock 'n' roll evening ended in a rather less glamorous fashion.
Speaking on The Parenting Hell podcast with co-host Josh Widdicombe, Beckett admitted he'd arrived at the bash already several drinks deep, having spent the earlier part of the evening celebrating at Oasis's long-awaited reunion gig at Wembley Stadium.
'It was a tiny little back room and Mick Jagger was there,' Beckett recalled.
'Obviously, a lot of his ex-wives and children from his ex-wives. There was Mariella Frostrup, someone Guinness – Lulu – this sort of fashion lady who looked like Lady Gaga, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ronnie Wood… It was really nice. They were really chatty and hospitable.'
While Beckett briefly greeted the Rolling Stones frontman, he confessed he never struck up a proper conversation with Jagger, who was holding court in a separate room.
Instead, he spent time chatting to Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally, all while realising he was becoming far too drunk to hold his own among rock royalty.
'I've had six pints of lager, two espresso martinis, and I'd say a bottle and a half of rosé,' Beckett admitted.
'I'm stood there wearing a Stone Island anorak with a vodka and soda after being on a motorbike, chatting to Ronnie and Sally Wood and Jimmy Carr, and I'm just talking absolute s***.' More Trending
Sensing the situation was spiralling, Beckett said he decided to make an exit – but it wasn't exactly a discreet one.
'I got like frogmarched out by four people that were holding on to me,' he laughed. 'Maybe I got kicked out, I don't know! They're walking me out like they're extracting me, like I'm a Rolling Stone and there's 10,000 people trying to grab me.'
The party continued without him, but Beckett still remembers the night happily: 'It was one of the best nights of my life,' he insisted, despite – or perhaps because of – his rock 'n' roll-worthy ejection.

Roll With It are playing in Dublin in the afternoon before the concerts get under way."We've done over 300 gigs," Nick told BBC News NI. "Just to play their songs, I mean, we're such fans and to be able to go and play those songs to like-minded people, big audiences -it's just an incredible feeling."Working in finance by day and performing as Bonehead by night is quite a switch, but it all stems from Nick's love of the band - who, on Sunday night, he'll be seeing for the 38th said it will be like seeing them for the first time."We didn't think it was ever going to happen, we had no expectation of Oasis ever returning. I can't wait."Unfortunately, we're driving straight home after." Comedian Paddy McDonnell is doubling up - the Oasis fan saw the band in Edinburgh last week and, on Sunday, will be heading to Dublin for gig number not quite on the same level as Nick - having seen the band 15 times before they split - but he's not far off, and thinks many people are going to "relive their youth"."It's a sense of nostalgia, making us feel like we're 22 again."I have seen them numerous times since they split, when Liam and Noel were performing in their separate acts, and its just not the same."I genuinely thought it would never happen, considering how public the family feud was, it's been a long time coming."Paddy admitted he was almost scammed when seeking tickets and thought he wasn't going to make it - but being a comedian can help."Thankfully we got our money back but it was pure luck that a woman in my accountant's office couldn't make the gig in Edinburgh - so I agreed to do stand-up at her wedding in exchange for the tickets."I was able to get tickets to Dublin when I just happened to do a podcast with a guy who sorted me out."Paddy was happy to share some advice to fellow concert-goers - consider wearing a coat, even if it's warm."In Edinburgh, I wore a large jacket. Many were wondering why, but when the music starts people go nuts and there's beer and all sorts flying in the air."I had the hood up, well protected from any liquid." 'Proper limbs': Fans get ready for Oasis Dublin mania For others, like Will McCrum and Nathan Black, this weekend will be the first time seeing 24, from Newtownabbey, has seen Liam Gallagher perform three times but never with Oasis."This concert will be more about the atmosphere, than anything else. As they are probably my favourite musicians, it's crazy I get to see them live, something I genuinely thought would never happen."The anticipation and excitement is off the scales, I have literally no idea what to expect, all I know is when they play Acquiesce is going to be proper limbs." Nathan, also 24, will travel from Ballyclare to Dublin. Like many others, he doubted he'd get tickets."I tried for whatever venue I could possibly get my hands on, I didn't care where I went to see them."I remember being about 25,000th in the queue on Ticketmaster, thinking there was no chance."He added: "Of course, we're all excited. What's making the wait seem that much longer is all these videos going round social media, when they walk out for the first time the place is going to go mental." There are others who remember Oasis early days, when the band's star was on the Neely's unique connection to the band is being the man who had booked them to play in Belfast, as it happens, on the day debut album Definitely Maybe went number one in the UK cost £6.75 for the gig in The Limelight, the venue David managed."It's a long time ago now, but we just heard of this band who were only three singles in, and Melody Maker, Hot Press and NME, - all the magazines - were buzzing about this new band from Manchester, and thankfully we were able to snare them."He booked them six weeks before they performed "just as the buzz was kicking in". "It was almost a run-of-the-mill gig, a Sunday night, about 500 people where there, at the same time there was something special about that night."It was the right band at the right time in the right venue."David will be in Croke Park this weekend."There are very few bands from that era that send a shiver down your spine when you hear them, so I'm looking forward to seeing them." At Belfast's Grand Central Station, some fans were already making their way to and Catherine Robinson said they "play their songs all the time in the house" and couldn't wait for the gig."I'm a big Noel fan so I cant wait to hear them play Talk Tonight - any of his songs I'm looking forward to."The pair queued, virtually, for hours to get a ticket and were willing to travel half a world away - but, in the end, they didn't have to go that far."We've made a weekend of it so we are going to head round the bars on Saturday and just have a really good time."The Gallaghers, no doubt, would approve.

Sophie Turner broke up celeb couple as she's accused of flirting with A-lister's fiancé
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner has revealed she caused the break up of a celebrity couple after making one gesture at a glitzy showbiz bash that ended in an awkward confrontation Sophie Turner has boldly admitted she was to blame for breaking up a celebrity couple following a run-in at a lavish party. The Game of Thrones actress, 29, shocked fans with the wild confession as she laid it all bare. She decided to make the revelation while on Late Night with Seth Meyers as she reminisced about her first meeting with the TV host. Sophie said they met over a decade ago at San Diego Comic-Con but confessed her night "quickly went south". The actress said she headed to the event's after party and was excited to let her hair down. It comes after Andy Carroll 'splits from Lou Teasdale due to her demands' weeks after public row.

"And that was it," Sophie said. However, things didn't end there. Sophie continued: "And then later on I see this girl looking at me and she's a famous actress and I was like 'I have to go tell her how much she means to me'. "So I dance on over and she goes, 'Can you stop f****** flirting with my fiance?' And I was like, 'Who's your fiancé?' And she points to the guy that I waved at and I still have no idea who this man is." Sophie shockingly revealed: "Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn't realise I held this power." Earlier this week, Sophie issued a savage response after she was mum-shamed over her kids. She shares daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two, with her ex-husband, Joe Jonas. Sophie, who is reportedly back with her on/off boyfriend, aristocrat, Peregrine Pearson, co-parents her kids with Joe, who lives in LA. However, she was accused of 'forgetting' about her daughters by a troll online. Sharing a photo of herself at Oasis' gig in London, the Sansa Stark star wrote: "Bucket hats and beers. That'll do me. Thank you @Levis." Responding to Sophie, one of her followers said: "Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids." Yet, Sophie shot back: "Ah, I'm so sorry, sometimes, I forget some people can't think for themselves. So, get this... There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day." Sophie was married to Joe from 2019 to 2023 before the singer filed for divorce in September 2023, which kick-started a lengthy and messy custody battle.

Sophie Turner reveals how she broke up a Hollywood couple's engagement
Sophie Turner has recalled the time when an innocent gesture apparently resulted in an A-list Hollywood couple calling off their engagement. The Game of Thrones star, 29, rose to fame on the American fantasy series, playing series heroine Sansa Stark throughout all eight seasons between 2011 and 2019. Between 2019 and 2024, she was married to Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers – with which she shares two children – and has rubbed shoulders with the top brass in Hollywood for some time now. But rubbing shoulders apparently isn't all Sophie did – she now claims to have broken up a high-profile couple, if her latest confession on Late Night with Seth Meyers is to be believed. The Northampton-born actress appeared on the late night talk show to promote her brand new movie The Dreadful, which she stars in alongside fellow Game of Thrones alum Kit Harington. During their conversation, Sophie and Seth both reflected on the first time they met each other, which was at the San Diego Comic Con afterparty in 2014.

'We were going to have a great night,' she began. 'And then – I really can't name names or I'll get in a lot of trouble. But I brought my best friend from my school days with me. 'She saw an actor she absolutely loved and [she asked me] if I could just say hello [on her behalf],' Sophie explained, also revealing that she'd never seen this actor before in her life and that she didn't recognise him. 'I didn't know this actor so I just [waved] and that was it. But then, later on, I saw this girl looking at me, and she was a famous actress. I had to go and tell [this actress] how much she means to me.' But when Sophie walked over, that's when things turned bad. 'I danced over and this actress said, 'Can you stop flirting with my fiancé?' So I ask who her fiancé was, and she pointed at the guy I'd waved at. I have no idea who this man is, but it turns out they broke their engagement off that night.' She laughed: '[Apparently] because of my wave. I didn't realise I held this power. [I said to my school friend] 'Look what you did!' It's not clear who the couple was, but since Sophie's story went out several online sleuths have been aiming to piece together the clues and uncover the true story.
