The singer-songwriter has had three number one songs in the UK singles charts with Domino, Price Tag, and Bang Bang.

David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub
David Beckham shared an update on 'family' after more speculation of a Brooklyn Beckham rift as the former footballer made a business announcement on social media David Beckham took to Instagram to share his latest "family" news amid a fallout with son Brooklyn Beckham. While his home life has been grabbing the headlines, it's his Bee Up Snacks that the former footballer was keen to rave about in his latest upload. Sharing a nu,ber snap from his Inter Miami stadium, Becks wrote: "Excited to welcome the @intermiamicf_academy to the @beeupsnacks family. "This project has always been about fuelling kids with a snack that uses a natural source of energy… so to bring BEEUP and youth sports together is something I've been passionate about from the start @beeupsnacks." Among those liking and commenting on his post was the club's academy, with the official account writing: "Fueling dreams together!" His new business was formed five years ago when Beckham was said to have become obsessed with beekeeping during lockdown. The brand's website reveals why the sports star first produced the products. It reads: "As a father and former athlete, it's always been important to me to give my kids wholesome alternatives to sweets. That's why I created BEEUP—a new snack brand rooted in honey, my love for family, and active living." However, while mentioning his kids in the blurb, it's thought Becks and eldest son Brooklyn are still at loggerheads and not speaking to each other. In the latest heartbreak for Becks and his wife Victoria Beckham involving Brooklyn, 26, the duo weren't invited to their son's renewal of his vows to wife Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn and Nicola flooded their social media pages with cosy snaps of their vow renewal surrounded by family recently. However, rather crucially nobody from Brooklyn's side appeared to have been invited to the nuptials. In the sweet photos, bride Nicola was seen surrounded by her loved ones. She also wore her mum's wedding dress to honour her. Nicola's dad Nelson also took a starring role in the ceremony as he officiated the proceedings as the couple gazed lovingly into each other's eyes. But as renewed their vows just three years after getting married in a $3million bash at the Peltz family's sea front estate in Florida, no other Beckhams were in sight. Despite the distance between the parties, David and Victoria have maintained a stoic bond with their eldest son - regularly liking his Instagram photos and including them in their posts, even though they are not talking. Brooklyn's absence from David's 50th birthday had already fuelled talk of a rift, but sources claim their son's latest move 'was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria.' An insider has claimed to the Sun that David and his wife Victoria, 51, have been left heartbroken after learning about the vow renewal online. "Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially," they said. "Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them. "It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy – and see no way back."

Reacher season 4 first set photos unveil Netflix star as new ‘love interest' with one big twist
The first set photos from the highly anticipated fourth season of Reacher have revealed the look of a brand new cast member Reacher's latest love interest may have been revealed in new set photos from the eagerly awaited fourth season of Prime Video's hit thriller series. Based on the bestselling crime novels by Lee Child, Alan Ritchson stars as the hulking former Military Policeman who now lives a nomadic existence, bringing justice to wrongdoers and crime lords across the United States. The first three seasons have proven a hit for the streamer so far, with the fourth outing based on Child's 2009 book Gone Tomorrow just around the corner. This time, the action kicks off in New York City where Reacher is travelling on a subway train late at night when he sees a passenger who matches the description of a suicide bomber. His decision over whether or not to intervene triggers a series of events that leads him to NYPD homicide detective Theresa Lee, and the pair slowly unravel a conspiracy that could go all the way to Washington. For the small screen adaptation, detective Lee has been renamed Tamara Green and will be portrayed by Sydelle Noel. Netflix subscribers may recognise Noel as Cherry 'Junkchain' Bang, one of the main characters in the streamer's hit TV series GLOW. In the latest set photos, shared on Instagram, Reacher's latest female lead was all smiles in a practical outfit of a pair of black suit trousers and a purple vest. While she beamed at the cameras, Noel also showed off her toned arms in the sleeveless top, proving she'll be a force to be reckoned with in any scuffles Tamara and Reacher find themselves in this season. Fans were ecstatic to get their first-look at the newcomer to the hit thriller series, taking to the comments to welcome Noel to the Reacher universe.

Book readers will already know how Reacher's New York mission goes down, including his partnership with Theresa/Tamara. For now, though, viewers can only speculate on what's to come as the fourth season of Reacher likely won't air for another year.
