David Beckham takes his mind off family feud as he gushes over his love for beekeeping in sweet post to celebrate World Honey Bee Day
David Beckham gushed over his love for beekeeping with a sweet post to celebrate World Honey Bee Day on Saturday, amid his heartbreaking family feud. The former England footballer, 50, has a profound interest in the insects, and even launched his own honey-based snack business in recent years. To mark the special day, he took to Instagram to share a post with his followers to acknowledge the event. A video saw David pouring some fresh homemade honey from his beehive in the garden - something he set up in 2020. David smiled as he showed off the delicious jar full, which said 'Golden Beez' on it. He also made sure to plug his brand, Bee Up, in the post too. Bee Up is sold in Target and offers a range of healthy snacks for kids. Alongside the post, he shared: 'Today we celebrate our beeeeeezzz. From owning my first hive at home in 2020, to starting my own honey-based snack business. 'I've learnt so much about the health benefits of our honey-bees. Happy World Honey-Bee Day.' He was met with lovely comments about his excitement for World Honey Bee Day, including one from TV presenter Matt Baker, who wrote: 'Let's get you on Countryfile.' His excitement for the special day comes after his ongoing feud with his estranged son Brooklyn and his daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent. David and wife Victoria, 51, and his brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were nowhere in sight at the second wedding. Brooklyn's grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. Insiders previously told Daily Mail that Brooklyn's parents are concerned his wife Nicola holds disproportionate sway in her marriage to their son. They said: 'They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. 'The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn's friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams' point of view, it's not nice to watch.' Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal was a glamorous affair packed with family, fashion and friends earlier this month. As more pictures of both the big day and the after-party come to light, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that the festivities were fairly one-sided - with most of the guestlist comprising Brooklyn's post-Nicola peers and pals. The lack of Brooklyn's side sparked widespread chat on social media, including comments from fans who likened their relationship to that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - after the royal turned his back on his family and moved to the US. When Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in 2022, they hosted a three-day Palm Beach extravaganza, which saw 500 guests party in no-expense-spared marquees in front of the ocean - where both families stood front and centre . Fast-forward three years and the change is remarkable, with no sign of the Beckham parents or the siblings Brooklyn held so close to his heart. In their place is the entirety of the Peltz clan - with Nicola's mother Claudia, 70, and her father Nelson, 83, holding all-star roles on the day. At the 2022 festivities, during the Hora - also known as the Jewish wedding chair dance - where the bride and groom are lifted on chairs while guests dance around them in a circle, David was also lifted up on a seat. Brooklyn's brothers acted as his Dior-clad groomsmen at the event although their positions have officially been occupied by the in-laws. Nicola has six brothers, all of whom Brooklyn is fond however he is very close to her brother Diesel, who introduced him to his bride. As well as swapping siblings, it has also been revealed that Brooklyn has shunned some of his old friends - as illustrated by his wedding pictures.

Ulrika Jonsson stuns in yellow lace bra as she celebrates her 58th birthday after marking one year sober
proved age is just a number as she celebrated her 58th birthday by stripping down to a lace bra - showing off her incredible figure and radiant glow after ditching alcohol. The Swedish-born star, who became a household name as one of the UK's most loved TV presenters, posed in a lemon-yellow bra that flaunted her bronzed tan and toned physique. With her blonde locks styled effortlessly and minimal make-up enhancing her natural features, Ulrika looked every inch the picture of confidence. Marking the occasion with a candid post to her followers, the mum-of-four revealed she's feeling better than ever since turning her back on booze and focusing on her health. She shared: 'Here I am: 58. No filter. No make-up. Just me at 05:34hrs this morning.' Despite admitting it was a quieter day than usual, with none of her children at home - Cameron, 30, Bo, 25, Martha, 20 and Malcolm, 16 - Ulrika said she wasn't letting that dampen her spirits. Instead, she enjoyed lunch with a friend and even spent time in the kitchen baking sourdough. Reflecting on the past year, the star admitted it hasn't been without challenges but credited her sobriety and sense of self-love for giving her newfound strength. 'Another year has passed and it's been a largely good one. All the better for sobriety and spirituality,' she told fans. Ulrika went on to share that for the first time in her life she feels truly comfortable in her own skin, saying she has 'fallen in love' with herself after years of ups and downs. 'It may have taken 57+ years but I'm at my best now. I'm in my prime. I'm steadfast, anchored, solid and unwavering,' she wrote. The TV personality, who has been open about her love life in the past, said she's embracing single life and sees it not as a failure but a triumph. She added: 'Being single isn't sad or desperate or a failure. It's victory over fear and loneliness. It's triumph over a need to settle for less than you deserve. It's peace.' Ulrika - who rose to fame on shows including Gladiators and Shooting Stars before becoming a staple of British TV - has been praised by fans in recent years for her honesty about ageing, relationships and sobriety. Despite admitting it was a quieter day than usual, with none of her children at home - Cameron, 30, Bo, 25, Martha, 20 and Malcolm, 16 - Ulrika said she wasn't letting that dampen her spirits Ulrika went on to share that for the first time in her life she feels truly comfortable in her own skin, saying she has 'fallen in love' with herself after years of ups and downs which fans loved to hear Her latest post struck a chord with followers, who flooded her with birthday wishes and admiration for her candid words. They wrote: 'Ulrika you are simply stunning in every way'. 'Happy birthday Ulrika, I've always admired you, watched you on tv for years and years, you are still a very talented,special and just amazing, gorgeous woman, great person, love you to bits ulrika, hope you have a fantastic day xx ❤️' 'Ulrika you're beautiful and stronger because of life ❤️' 'Good for you, well done and many happy years ahead.' The star rounded off her reflection with her trademark humour, joking that any potential suitors could still apply to date her, writing: 'Applications can be forwarded to 'Liberated Woman In Her Prime' and will be dealt with painstakingly and comprehensively.' Ulrika's post comes after she appeared on Spencer Matthews' Untapped Podcast makeup-free to film the podcast episode. The television presenter received some trolling comments on her 'ageing' appearance so decided to hit back. Some of the cruel remarks said she was 'over-tanned, imperfect and ageing', which she said made her 'heart hurt' and 'feel awful'. Writing for The Times, she told how the 'nasty, vindictive and hurtful comments' flooded in as she hit back at the unkind trolls. She wrote: 'I've fought hard against the whole perception of women being solely about beauty and image. 'I'm a practical woman and I come with a wealth of experience, kindness and intelligence. 'The fact that I now have wrinkles, lines and jowls should be of no consequence.I know I look older. 'But then I should: I'm a menopausal mother of four whose body and face has lived quite the life.' She added that she had showed up for the podcast recording without wearing make-up as she had forgotten it would be filmed. Ulrika went on to explain that while she has tried both Botox and fillers in the past, now she just wants to look her age. She also praised actress Pamela Anderson, who in recent years has become known for making red carpet appearances without make-up.
