David Beckham ditches iconic tiny trunks on yacht trip with Gordon Ramsay's family
Sir David Beckham has been snapped sunning himself on a yacht with celebrity mate Gordon Ramsay, amid ongoing unrest in his family following the feud with his eldest son Brooklyn. In a modest nod to his iconic 2008 Armani campaign, in which the ex-footballer donned a pair of skin-tight Armani shorts for a brand campaign shoot, he could be seen enjoying some downtime in a pair of white board shorts.
Ditching the risqué look from back in the day, David, 50, spent time aboard the luxury liner, alongside his wife Victoria, 51. They were joined by celebrity chef Gordon, 58, and his wife of 29 years Tana, 50.
The four of them were joined by David and Victoria's 22-year-old son Romeo as they rode the waves on their boat trip, while the group holiday in the south of France. It comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response.

Victoria wore a sundress with a wide-brimmed straw hat and orange scarf, while Romeo wore a white vest and shorts with a matching snapback hat. Gordon and Tana were in high spirits as they spent time with their long-term family friends aboard the Beckhams' £16million yacht.
The aspiring musician, 20, posted a photo of himself on the yacht trip with his legs spread wide while he wore his own pair of tighty-whiteys during the trip. But after turning heads with his revealing photos, the youngest of the Beckham brothers issued an apology for his post.
Cruz cheekily wrote: 'Sorry I don't have more speedos pictures x', while posting more images from his family holiday. The new photos showed Romeo and David beaming in swimming trunks while they pose for a snap, with another showing the David and his sons enjoying a pizza on the yacht, named Seven.
The initial photo posted by Cruz showed his striking resemblance to his dad's ad campaign with Armani, with him appearing to lap up the attention. He originally captioned his photo: "Speeedos," before editing it to say "spreadin em."
Older brother Romeo shared his dismay with the cheeky snap, writing: "Jesus." Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel shared her thoughts, leaving a string of cry-laughing emojis under Romeo's comment.
Their nan, Sandra, who is David's mum, shared some emojis of her own under Cruz's post, leaving a love heart followed by shocked and laughing emojis. But despite most of the family getting in on the joke of Cruz's shock tactics, their older brother Brooklyn remained silent on the viral post, keeping his distance from his family's summertime fun.
Brooklyn's estrangement from his family became common knowledge when he and his wife Nicola Peltz skipped David's 50th birthday in May. It comes after Brooklyn was spotted cosying up with his father-in-law in a 'financial flex' over his own family.
Earlier this month, reports claimed Romeo and Cruz unfollowed Brooklyn on social media. Others have suggested they have both blocked their brother, with insiders branding the dispute the 'Gen Z version of World War Three".
Initially, it was reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed Romeo and Cruz 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,' a source claimed.

Tributes paid to ‘gifted' 80s metal frontman

His death occurred just weeks after he married his wife, Jennifer, who had left her full-time employment to care for him. Junkyard's surviving members released a statement describing Roach as a "gifted artist, performer, songwriter and singer" and a "devoted father, husband and brother." Roach co-founded Junkyard in Los Angeles in 1987, releasing their self-titled debut in 1989 and later reuniting with bandmates for further albums.

Parenthood review – one of the crabs in David Attenborough's new naturefest is like a 1940s movie villain
There must be a rule printed on parchment somewhere at the BBC that says all big wildlife documentaries must feature a sweeping shot of the African savannah at the top of episode one. Wildebeest or buffalo must roam majestically across the grasslands in search of water, only for one of the herd to be brought down by a cunning lion or cheetah. The awe is bittersweet: sorry, big guy, but a cat's got to eat. This sappingly familiar narrative plays out in the opening instalment of Parenthood, a Sunday-evening naturefest narrated by David Attenborough, before we have blown the steam off our tea. It sets us up for a show that offers BBC One natural history in a cuter, less spectacular and groundbreaking mode than the channel's classic shows – but the suspicion that it may not have anything fresh to impart is soon dispelled. Our interest picks up as we leave Botswana – with its lionesses teaching cubs to hunt buffalo and then having to implement a shared-parenting protocol when one of the mums is gored to death in the melee – and dive into the ocean, to a reef off the Indonesian coast. A boxer crab sits on 1,000 eggs, keeping her strength up via the ingenious life hack of holding an anemone in each claw and sucking plankton off the tentacles. An ugly, crusty cuttlefish attacks, but anemones are weapons as well as tasty pom-poms, so the boxer crab survives. Then a jealous rival crab mother, rubbing her claws together in the background like a 1940s movie villain, attempts to take the anemones by force. Pincers furiously pince, but, like all the best matriarchs of large families, our pal with 1,000 children always has another clever trick. Next, we are off to wild Arizona, where it's dating season: a young male is looking for a good hole. He is a burrowing owl; any prospective mate will want him to have secured a home, which for this species is a burrow abandoned by another animal. When he has found a spot that isn't still occupied by the angry rodent who dug it, or already colonised by other owls, he and his new partner settle in and have chicks, which consigns them to a long spell of thankless hunting, feeding and saving the offspring from being eaten by roadrunners. Then the chicks grow up, glare at their parents contemptuously – although that could just be the default owl countenance – and leave the nest. What the ageing, knackered Mr and Mrs Burrowing-Owl do once they have fulfilled their nurturing duties and finally have time for themselves isn't specified, but even a weary owl divorce couldn't be as dispiriting as the fate of the African social spider in Namibia. She is the headline act of the episode, initially thanks to the creepy – even for spiders – way in which she and her sisters hunt. Finding prey that has become snagged in their giant Miss-Havisham's-hair mess of a nest involves a horrific game of grandma's footsteps, all of them moving together and then stopping dead, as one, so they can listen for tiny vibrations. But when her many kids grow up and Mum gets old, her own movements across the silky filaments become jerky and erratic. In spider language, this sends a clear message: eat me. Being devoured alive by ungrateful children is as bad as it gets. The galumphing cuteness of lowland gorillas in Gabon, where a silverback dad is eyed casually by his other half as she muses on whether to trade him in for someone younger and fitter, is benign in comparison, as is a tale of endangered iberian lynx that upturns the usual warnings about humankind's malign influence on the natural world. Mother and baby lynx live prosperously as a result of farming practices that have been recalibrated to benefit the wildlife. Sign up to Down to Earth The planet's most important stories. Get all the week's environment news - the good, the bad and the essential after newsletter promotion Both sequences are merely pleasant diversions rather than spicily relatable parenting fables, the rhythm of which is also interrupted by a trip to a drying river in Tanzania, where an imminent lack of water is a problem for a hippo mum who is a better provider and protector when she is sploshing about. The trek into the dry wilderness for food looks as if it will develop into an allegory about the difficulty of performing crucial tasks with a toddler trailing behind, but then lions turn up, so it devolves into the old story of one of the pack losing their nerve and becoming a cat treat. If lions are to keep their place as the stars of nature documentaries, they need to come up with some new ideas. Parenthood, however, has just about enough of those to survive. Parenthood airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer in the UK. It will air on Network 10 in Australia, with an airdate yet to be announced.

David Attenborough fans gush over 'stunning' new 'Parenthood' series which sees 99-year-old naturalist explore the lives of animal parents
David Attenborough fans have gushed over the presenter's 'stunning' new 'Parenthood' series which delves into the unique lives of animal parents. The incredible documentary, narrated by 99-year-old Sir David, explores both the highs and lows of animals raising their young in the wild. The first episode of the beloved broadcaster's new five-part series aired on Sunday, August 3, with viewers taking to social media to express their utter delight at the insightful programme that left them 'blown away'. A fascinating clip from the show captures Attenborough's team as they attempt to build up a relationship with the unique silverback gorillas and their infants. Described by Max Kobl, cinematographer for the show, as 'probably the most powerful of all primates', Sir David, narrating, warns that 'it isn't going to come easy' for the film crew as they attempt to get close to the sneaky gorillas. Initially, the team face great difficulty even finding the animals, seen wading through thick swamps in order to locate them and using indicators such as the types of twigs on the ground. Commentating, one member of the crew says: 'The swamps don't pose challenges for the gorillas, the swamps pose one of many challenges for us.' In the insightful footage of their challenging trek, one member of the team is seen nearly toppling over due to the thick, knee-deep water. When asked 'you okay?', he simply responds: 'nope'. The first episode of the beloved broadcaster's new five-part series aired on Sunday, August 3, with viewers taking to social media to express their utter delight at the insightful programme that left them 'blown away' Sir David, narrating, adds: 'The team try as best they can to keep up and just as they reach dry land, the gorilla family has other ideas'. Reflecting on the ongoing challenge as the gorilla's appear seemingly camera shy, Peter Lytle, a researcher on the team, acknowledges that while its 'great' they have managed to finally locate the animals, the gorillas have now decided they would like to return. At a later point, the film crew finally achieve some success, eventually striking up a relationship with the silverback gorillas and their young babies, with incredible footage capturing them in their natural habitat. Watching on lovingly at the magnificent creatures, one member of the film crew remarks: 'there's something everyday the gorillas do to put a smile on their face'. Meanwhile, a trecker, who provides detailed insights into the lives and habits of the unique animals to Attenborough's team throughout the process, explains that 'you have to live among these animals to really understand how they work'. Acknowledging the intricacies of the relationship between man and animal, he continues: 'They don't speak the same language as us, but we have already developed a certain language which allows the gorillas and us to communicate, its a form of love.' Filmed over three years and spanning six continents, the new docu-series seeks to highlight how parenting in the wild can be a 'high-stakes game in which some animal parents must come up with extraordinary strategies to give their young a head start'. Promising viewers 'astonishing, never-before-seen animal behaviours in stunning ultra high definition, from the remote jungles of Bhutan to the grasslands of Botswana', those who tuned in to watch the series' first instalment have been left in awe. Taking to social media to express their fascination with the 'stunning' new show, one commenter on social media platform X gushed: 'All the contributors to Parenthood are amazing', while another added: 'Parenthood is another great programme. Congratulations once again Sir David Attenborough and the BBC'. Meanwhile, other viewers were keen to share their utter adoration for the adorable gorillas in the episode, taking to social media to insist they could 'watch them for hours', while another quipped: 'These gorillas are playing the crew like a fiddle'. Another adorable clip captures the wonderful moment a gorilla mother clutches her sleeping newborn to her chest, as he twitches fitfully in his slumber. The clip shows a female western lowland gorilla with her moments-old baby in a breathtaking landscape of green jungle. Narrating, Sir David says: 'For his mother, the arrival of her young baby is the start of a new chapter in her adult life - parenthood. 'Her journey will be challenging, full of excitement, uncertainty and complete commitment. Narrating, Sir David says: 'For his mother, the arrival of her young baby is the start of a new chapter in her adult life - parenthood. 'Her journey will be challenging, full of excitement, uncertainty and complete commitment' 'There will be mistakes - there always are. But success for her, and indeed for all parents, has perhaps the greatest of consequences, it ensures the future of life on our planet.' Alongside stories of gorillas, Parenthood also features striking footage of the lives of orangutans, elephants and cheetahs, among many others. The near hour-long programme focuses on animal parents that are 'having to adapt to a world that is changing rapidly', with the creatures facing 'a unique set of challenges' that they must overcome. It is the first BBC natural history series to focus on parenting, with the team using new technology to capture the weird and wonderful in the wild. These include using military-grade infrared cameras mounted on gimbals on off-road vehicles and show hippos being chased by lions at night. The next episode of Parenthood airs on BBC One on Sunday, August 10 at 4.20pm. All episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer.
