'Did anyone else notice!?' Aspiring chef Brooklyn Beckham is mocked as fans spot private cook in the back of his chicken wrap tutorial video
The son of Victoria and David Beckham, 26, who has taken a keen interest in cooking in recent years, showed his followers how to make the perfect chicken caesar wrap.
The video was a plug for the nepo baby 's hot sauce brand, Cloud23, which he launched last year and retails for £15 a bottle.
Following Brooklyn's foray into the food industry, the irony was not lost on his followers that their was a private chef in the background of his clip.
During the blink and you'll miss it moment, a man wearing chef whites appears behind Brooklyn and looks to be preparing food.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn is frying off chicken breasts in his own brand sauce as he shows off his own culinary skills to his followers.
After spotting the moment, eagle-eyed followers took to the comments section to reveal they had clocked the professional in the video.
They said: 'Did anyone else catch the white coat chef in the background as Brooklyn is working the chicken on the stove [laughing face emojis]';
'The chef in the background; 'Why is there a chef behind him?'; 'Love the private chef in the background'.
While it is no surprise that Brooklyn and his billionaire heiress wife have a private chef in their Los Angeles home, he did recently claim he cooks 'every night'.
He told PEOPLE last month: 'I love cooking my wife stuff, and I try and cook every night.
While Nicola occasionally acts as his 'sous chef', Brooklyn revealed that he also loves to cook by himself with the company of his dogs.
He said: 'It's just me listening to my music, maybe watching a movie, having a drink, I get lost in it.'
'My wife sends me so much stuff on TikTok, she's like, "can you please make me this little snack?" She sent me this one the other day of this pickle cut in half, scraped out with a bit of cream cheese and everything, bagel seasoning and lemon pepper seasoning. She sent me that and we made it. It's like our new late-night snack.'
The post also included a pointed nod to Brooklyn's ongoing rift with his family, as the song choice for the video referred to not feeling like he has the confidence to speak up and finally feeling empowered.
It comes as his feud with his family rumbles on after Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, failed to attend any of his father David's 50th birthday celebrations.
Relations between the couple and Brooklyn's family are said to be at an all time low amid fears he is risking ruining his 'close bond' with sister Harper if he fails to attend or acknowledge her 14th birthday on Thursday.
While both parties have remained publicly quiet about their rift, there have been clues on social media suggesting that all is not well between the two camps.
In his most recent post where he shared a cooking tutorial for a chicken caesar salad wrap, Brooklyn dropped a new hint that there is no sign of the feud healing.
Brooklyn posted the video and it was accompanied by Two Door Cinema Club's I Can Talk in a seemingly pointed nod to the row.
The lead singer, Alex Trimble, previously explained the origin and meaning behind the story, which was about when the band first started talking with record companies.
Alex claimed they grew sick of people telling them what to do so took initiative and talked for themselves.
Despite claims of ongoing tension, the new post was 'liked' by his dad David, but none of his immediate family have commented on the video
A website that deciphers the meaning of songs, Call Me Fred, claims it is about the protagonist having something important to say but feeling like they couldn't speak up.
The explanation reads: 'They reference people in positions of power who may have dismissed or ignored them in the past.
'Now, with a newfound confidence, the protagonist is speaking their truth and not allowing anyone to silence them.
'The repetitive chorus emphasizes this newfound ability to speak their mind and the power that comes with it.'
Despite claims of ongoing tension, the new post was 'liked' by his dad David, but none of his immediate family have commented on the video.
However, his grandmother Sandra, who he remains on good terms with, commented that the clip was 'perfect'.
In the clip, Brooklyn was wearing a Whitney Houston drivers license hoodie and a backwards baseball cap, from his hot sauce brand Cloud23.
The post was plugging the brand as he cooked his chicken in the sauce and added some at the end as a condiment.
David and Victoria supported their eldest son as he launched Cloud23 last year both in Los Angeles and London.
They were seen together again at Christmas time in the UK when the couple joined Brooklyn's family for festive celebrations on Boxing Day.
However it marked the final time they have all been seen together since reports of infighting began.
The picture of familial bliss shows Victoria and David and their four children with Nicola gathered in front of a Christmas tree, posted on Boxing Day last year.
The image is a far cry from the tense relations between the Beckhams and their son and his wife, following reports that things are 'beyond repair'.
In the most recent development, Nicola made a series of pointed remarks about family.
On Sunday, it was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola's feud with the Beckhams could overshadow Harper's upcoming birthday on July 10.
Sources claimed there was fear Harper could be 'collateral damage' should they fail to acknowledge her birthday celebration as the feud with her parents escalates.
As the reports emerged, Nicola took to Instagram to share a series of photographs in which she gushed over her billionaire father Nelson Peltz and joked that her Labubu dolls were her family.
She shared a snap of the coveted Pop Mart dolls in a row, captioning the snap: 'our little family', before posting another snap of one of the dolls, writing: 'my mom just gets it.'
Nicola also shared a selfie on a yacht before rounding off her posts with a snap hugging her father that she captioned: 'I love you so much dad'.
Nicola's posts come amid fears Brooklyn and Nicola will fail to acknowledge Harper's birthday on Thursday.
Amid his escalating feud with his family, the pair failed to publicly acknowledge David's milestone 50th birthday on May 8.
David and Victoria's 26th wedding anniversary also passed without mention, despite the former Manchester United and England footballer referencing Brooklyn in his own post.
And sources fear Harper could be 'collateral damage' should they fail to acknowledge her birthday celebration as the feud with her parents escalates.
An insider told The Mirror: 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn.
'They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers.
'But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.'
David previously thanked wife Victoria for their 'beautiful children' as the couple both acknowledged estranged son Brooklyn while celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary on July 4.
The former footballer who also shares sons Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 22 with the ex Spice Girl, 51, shared a series of throwback snaps of the family in happier times.
Declaring his love for Victoria, who he referred to as Lady Beckham following his Knighthood, he wrote: '26 years today you said YES to me Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together.'
He went on to tag his children including estranged son Brooklyn.
On Monday, Nicola shared a snap of herself performing a headstand while her younger brother Zachary - who she joked was 'her trainer - held her legs up
Victoria, 51, also tagged her eldest son, captioning her post: 'Another year, another chapter in our love story.
'I'm so proud of the beautiful family and life we've built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham. Here's to 26 years!!'
Despite the apparent olive branch, insider believe Brooklyn will not be in attendance when Harper turns 14 on Thursday.
The source added: 'He took a stand and missed his dad's 50th so he's not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that's happened, as much as he loves Harper.
'But if he did, it could be a much-needed olive branch to start repairing things. An end to the family drama would be the best birthday present Harper – and her parents – could ask for.'
MailOnline has contacted a representative for further comment.
Rumours of a rift between the eldest son and his parents began when Brooklyn was noticeably silent on his former Spice Girl mother's birthday, a far cry from his usual sweet posts about her.
Neither the former photographer nor his wife wished Victoria a happy 51st, while David, Romeo and Cruz posted gushing messages.
And as well as snubbing dad David's birthday online, he also was notably absent from all of his 50th birthday celebrations - including a boys' fishing trip.
Despite flying to London at the time, Brooklyn and Nicola also didn't attend the big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home or an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core.
Brooklyn reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them last month in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud.
According to the publication, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David's knighthood being announced last month and only learned of the news in the media alongside the rest of the world.
Denying he'd asked for no contact, a source close to Brooklyn told the publication: 'Everyone's focus should be David Beckham 's great honour'.
Meanwhile a source close to Brooklyn also denied the claims as they told MailOnline, 'this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father.'

Gwyneth Paltrow was 'sad' when ex Brad Pitt married Jennifer Aniston, bombshell book reveals
Gwyneth Paltrow put her Oscar winning acting skills to good use when her ex-fiancé married another woman. A new biography about the Shakespeare in Love star, which also examines her relationship with Ben Affleck, claims Paltrow, 52, was mournful when Brad Pitt, 61, tied the knot with Jennifer Aniston in July 2000, but tried to keep it to herself, according to an excerpt published in US Weekly. In Gwyneth: A Biography, author Amy Odell claims that Paltrow got snappy with a reporter at the Toronto International Film Festival in September of that year when asked about her love life while promoting Duets, the film she starred in, directed by her father, the late Bruce Paltrow. 'The reporter then asked how she felt about Brad Pitt marrying Jennifer Aniston [in July of that year]. "Are you really asking me this question?" Gwyneth replied, her eyes now "daggers." "I can't comment on this kind of thing." In reality, Gwyneth confided to friends that she'd felt sad when she learned they were getting married. (She was also fond of telling them that Brad "has terrible taste in women.")' According to an excerpt shared with People, Paltrow and Pitt met when she auditioned for a role in Legends of the Fall. She didn't get that part, but Pitt reportedly suggested she play his wife in the horror classic Se7en, which began production in 1994. Paltrow had also been offered a role in the Keanu Reeves project, Feeling Minnesota, and when deciding which role to take a friend reportedly asked, 'Well, who do you want to date, Brad Pitt or Keanu Reeves?' According to Odell, 'The two would walk around the set holding hands, and smoked cigarettes together outside their trailers, Gwyneth holding hers like a thirties movie star.' Daily Mail has reached out to Paltrow's representatives for a statement regarding the allegations in the book. The two got engaged in 1996, but there were doubts. After Paltrow received rave reviews for her work in 1996's Emma, she allegedly confided in her friend, makeup artist Kevin Aucoin, that Pitt 'wanted to be with her but seemed to feel threatened by her success and all the attention she received.' '[Aucoin's] advice to Gwyneth was frank, "You really need to end this,"' Odell wrote. Pitt and Paltrow called it quits in 1997. When Pitt and Aniston split in 2005, following his affair with future ex-wife Angelina Jolie, Paltrow, who had been signed as the face of Estee Lauder's Pleasures fragrance, couldn't help but make a snide remark at a dinner with executive Aerin Lauder. According to the US Weekly excerpt, 'At one dinner, the two were talking about Brad Pitt. According to someone familiar with the discussion, Gwyneth allegedly told her, "He's dumber than a sack of s–t."' This seemed to refer to their very different backgrounds. Paltrow and Pitt fell in love while working on the 1997 horror film Se7en. ''The two would walk around the set holding hands, and smoked cigarettes together outside their trailers,' according to the book; Pictured in Burbank, CA in October 1995 Gwyneth: A Biography will be released on July 29. Daily Mail has reached out to Paltrow's representatives to for a statement regarding the allegations in the book; Pictured in Beverly Hills in April 2023 Pitt grew up in a very religious family in Springfield, MO, whereas Paltrow was brought up in Manhattan and went to an elite private school. In a 2023 interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, looking back at her breakup with Pitt, Paltrow said she was 'totally heartbroken' after the split but 'It was the right thing at that time, but it was really hard.' 'There were a number of things that had happened, he was nine years older than me — he knew what he wanted, he was ready to do it and I was kind of all over the place.' Gwyneth: A Biography will be released on July 29.

Denise Richards ex Aaron Phypers claims he caught RHOBH star ‘cheating' on him as she accuses him of domestic violence
DENISE Richards estranged husband Aaron Phypers has made explosive claims that he caught his wife "cheating" on him. It comes just days after Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise, 54, accused Aaron of domestic violence, alleging he "threatened to kill her and caused her at least three concussions." 5 5 5 Denis also claimed that Phypers, who filed for divorce on July 7, would hack her laptop and phone and download all of her text messages. Now Aaron has revealed what triggered their explosive July 4 fight and subsequent divorce. He claimed he found out about Denise's alleged hookup with another man earlier this year, when he found text messages between them on Denise's laptop. Aaron told TMZ in an interview that the messages included selfies and plans for "rendezvous at a hotel". He told the publication that he confronted Denise about the alleged affair and they decided to work it out and stay together. But when the pair got into a huge fight over the 4th July weekend, it prompted Aaron to file for divorce. He also claimed that his phone went missing for more than 24 hours and later found it smashed to pieces in a bin. Aaron alleged that he questioned Denise about the phone but she "hit and scratched him", adding that he believes the phone had proof of her alleged affair. The Sun has reached out to Denise's rep for comment. Denise alleged that she suffered physical and verbal abuse throughout her seven-year marriage with Aaron, including strikes to her head and face and degrading profanities, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun. "Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom rack, threaten to kill me," Richards said in court documents. "Aaron regularly threatened to 'break my jaw' and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help - none of which ever happened," the actress added. "Aaron has caused me at least three concussions. Aaron has told me that he has left recording devices to record me while I was alone in hotel rooms and at my townhouses." Most recently, Denise alleged that on July 4, over the course of two hours, Aaron repeatedly "got within two inches of my face and screamed at me degrading profanities, including calling me a c**t, whore, and a piece of s**t." Denise added: "Aaron's actions were scaring me to the point that, as with nearly all of Aaron's abuse of me, I was afraid that Aaron may kill me." The Wild Things actress claimed she never called law enforcement on her husband because Aaron "threatened to kill himself" if she reported him, she said in court documents. VICIOUS ATTACK During an incident on January 17, 2022, Richards alleged that Phypers viciously used the heel of his palm to strike her in her left eye, causing massive swelling and bruising. Richards claimed that moments before the incident, Phypers became "paranoid" claiming that several potted plants he had just purchased for his workspace contained listening devices. The actress said Phypers began screaming and that's when a police officer, who would regularly station in the parking lot of the Malibu property, approached the door. However, after the officer left, Richards alleged that Phypers continued screaming then "used the heel of his palm to strike me in the eye while calling me a 'f**king b***h.'" Richards claimed a family member witnessed the attack, which caused significant bruising to form around her left eye. "The bruising took a month to heal. I had to cancel two professional meetings and rely on a makeup artist - who was aware of the situation - to cover the injury for an unavoidable work obligation," she added. She claimed her husband insisted she tell others that she had "walked into a piece of his equipment stored on the building's balcony." A judge granted Richards a temporary restraining order against Phypers that will last until August 8, when the estranged couple are due in court. Phypers was ordered to stay 100 yards from Richards' home, place of work and vehicle. He was also ordered to return her laptops and everything he downloaded from her phone. DIVORCE SHOCK The U.S. Sun previously reported that Richards was caught by surprise when she learned about Phypers divorce filing. Sources close to the former Housewives of Beverly Hills star said she felt "utterly betrayed." "She never in a million years wanted to get another divorce and she never in a million years thought he would do this to her," the insider told The U.S. Sun in early July. "It's a betrayal; he promised he would never do this. She made it crystal clear to him thousands of times that they could work through anything no matter how big the problem but divorce was never an option. "He agreed. Then did this. There's more questions than answers right now." Phypers is requesting spousal support to continue with their lavish lifestyle, which cost over $105,000 a month, according to court papers filed in Los Angeles. "Denise thinks it's egregious he is seeking spousal support from her after she has been financially supporting him all these years," the source added. 'She thought he was different but turns out he's what people warned her about.'

Johnny Carson's friend shares intimate details about the King of Late Night's final days
The best friend of late night TV host Johnny Carson has revealed the icon was uncharacteristically affectionate towards the end of his life and believes he knew his time was up the last time he saw him. Tech mogul, Howard Smith, spent many dinners sitting across from The Tonight Show host, but the last one was different than all the rest. Carson, who died in January 2005 at the age of 79, had invited Smith and his wife out after catching his friend at a pharmacy in Malibu. He picked the pair up and drove them to a dinner, where they'd spend hours laughing. 'John was the funniest I've ever seen him,' Smith told Fox News. 'He went on and on, told stories about different people that he had on the show… We just laughed so hard.' Previous dinners, they would only spend a few hours together before parting ways, but just days before his death, Carson insisted on keeping everyone out late. 'We were the first people [at the restaurant] and the last to leave,' Smith explained. 'Looking back, there must have been something going on in his head that night. 'At the end of the night, he drives us up to our house, gets out of the car. He gave both my wife Jane and me a kiss and a hug. Then he tells us: "I love you." John was not standoffish, but I'd never seen him do anything like that. 'I think he knew he was dying, but didn't want us to worry.' Carson then took off back home and 16 days later, he passed away. 'When I think about that night, I feel he wanted to tell us that he would be okay, and that he loved us. That's the John I knew,' he told the outlet. Smith also recalled watching his friend deteriorate. The two often played tennis together, but eventually, it switched to coffee at John's after the comedian admitted the physical activity became too much. 'On Saturdays and Sundays, you come over to my house. I'll make you a coffee, and we'll just sit around, talk about life,' he recalled Carson saying. The pair had played tennis multiple times a week and it created a lifelong bond, even if Smith didn't know it at the time. 'I'm still grateful for that day when we first decided to play tennis together,' he told Fox News. Now, Smith has written a book called My Friend Johnny: The Last 20 Years of a Beautiful Life with Johnny Carson and Friends. He wrote the book because he wanted people to see Carson as he had seen him behind the scenes. 'I wanted people to know John – the John I knew,' he said. Carson hosted The Tonight Show from 1962 to 1992, which garnered him the nickname King of Late Night. The show won six Emmys. The heavy smoker died of emphysema, a lung condition that causes shortness of breath, in 1999.
