‘Get well, daddy': Here's why David Beckham was just seen in the hospital
David Beckham fans may have been a tad concerned Friday when his wife Victoria posted a reel of him in a hospital bed.
The ex-Spice Girl's caption: 'Get well, daddy, with no explanation.
Turns out what landed him there wasn't that serious: Beckham underwent a procedure to fix an old injury.
Surgeons had to remove a screw that had been placed in the retired soccer star's right arm after a fall that broke his wrist during a game between England and South Africa back in 2003, The Sun reports. The British outlet posted a clip of the painful run-in with Thabang Molefe four minutes into the second half.
The screw was apparently intended to dissolve over time, but did not, causing the father of four considerable discomfort through the years.
In a followup video, Victoria, 51, posted a video of her 50-year-old hubby tending to their garden at their Costwolds compound in the U.K., as per People magazine.
'Overperforming on the cucumber front, Sir David!!!' read the designer's text over screen, referring to the knight to be's impending title.
The Inter Miami co-owner was well enough by Sunday to attend the FIFA Club World Cup game vs. his old team, Paris Saint-Germain, in Atlanta.
On Instagram, Becks shared pics from the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium sporting a large bandage.
'It's fine. It's an old injury that needed surgery,' he said in an interview with a reporter before the match-up. 'It's all good.'

Care home resident enjoys long-awaited return to Rhinos grounds
A care home resident has enjoyed a long-awaited return to Leeds Rhinos' home ground after regaining her mobility. Marion, a lifelong club supporter who lives at Anchor's Manor House Roundhay care home in Yorkshire, shared with care home team leader Christine her wish to see Leeds Rhinos play at Headingley Stadium. With the support of the care home team, she regained enough confidence and mobility to make the trip to Headingley Stadium a reality. After hearing Marion's story, Leeds Rhinos offered VIP treatment, including free tickets for Marion and Christine to attend the match, and, for Marion, a personal welcome message and photo printed in the match programme. Before the match, Marion said: "I am overjoyed by what the staff here have done for me, I really am. "It will mean a great deal to me to watch Leeds Rhinos play, and hopefully win. "I am really looking forward to the day out with Christine. "From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much." Christine, the team leader who accompanied her, said: "It was a fantastic day and a pleasure escorting Marion to the Mighty Rhinos game. "She showed me exactly where she used to sit when attending games many years ago. "It was so lovely to hear Marion shouting for the Rhinos to win. "I was putting my head on her shoulders five minutes before the finish as the score was so close I couldn't watch in case Wakefield scored. "We both loved every minute." Marion's post-match reaction was: "I can't thank you all enough for such a fantastic day." Marion insisted on wearing Christine's borrowed Leeds Rhinos t-shirt for her programme photo, and cheered the team on to a 22-18 victory from the stands, while tucking into chips and lemonade.

I Went 'Teddy' Blonde & Finally Found My Perfect Colour Match
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. In preparation for when summer rolls around later this year, I asked myself one question: How blonde is too blonde? This season, however, my normal desire to go as bright as the sun has been softened, partly thanks to conversations around ' recession blonde ', which embraces more lived-in looks for the warmer months. While the top line might be about saving money (less bleach = fewer salon visits), the move towards a more relaxed blonde is exactly what my over-processed hair has been crying out for — and one particular shade has piqued my interest. Enter: 'teddy' blonde. What is the teddy blonde hair colour? If you've taken one look at Pinterest lately, you'll know that soft, grown-out blondes are everywhere, and no colour is more popular than teddy blonde — a shade said to resemble the golden nuances of a teddy bear's fur. The colour has been spotted on celebrities like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sofia Richie Grainge, who have left their bleached lengths behind to embrace more honey-hued, natural shades like this one. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rosie HW (@rosiehw) According to Emily Payne, a colourist at George Northwood salon in London, the shade is defined by golden, warmer tones rather than the cool ashy ones we've been seeing recently: 'There's more depth to the blonde,' Payne told me, adding, 'It's not just a bleach blonde — there are much richer tones within it.' As such, it's more of a low-maintenance blonde, as it can incorporate your natural colour in between the lighter strands. Payne cites cost and busy schedules as reasons behind people seeking more low-effort looks, but she also thinks that hair health is a key component: 'I think a lot of people are trying to be in their healthy girl era and don't want to bleach their hair as much as they used to do,' Payne told me. 'Even brunettes, who maybe had highlights or balayage, want to go back to more of their natural colour,' she reports. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆 (@ How do you make your hair teddy blonde? As a blonde already, I was keen to know how the teddy blonde process would differ from my usual bleach and tone. According to Payne, it depends on how much blonde is already in the hair: 'If there's a lot of blonde and you want to add dimension, you can weave in more of the client's natural colour throughout the strands,' says Payne, much like this look on Glory Rose. She refers to the process as 'reverse balayage', essentially hand-painting dashes of darker hues. As we were starting from a grown-out bleach balayage, Payne began by adding some reverse balayage to the back, which would help tone down some of the bright blonde and introduce more golden tones. Then she applied some sporadic bleach pieces to refresh the existing colour and make the newly dyed pieces pop against the lowlights. Then we moved to the front of my hair, where we started to pack on the colour, layering neat foils of bleach highlights around the top and sides, each interspersed with reverse balayage lowlights to add depth. Instead of using permanent dye for the lowlights, Payne reached for salon favourite, Redken Shades EQ gloss, which fades out naturally and doesn't leave behind regrowth lines. Even better? It's less harsh on your strands: 'A gloss is an updated version of a toner, where the colour is a little bit more sheer and adds a shine as it closes down the hair cuticle post-dye,' Payne explains. Once all the highlights and lowlights were in, Payne layered on another slightly darker gloss at the backwash to soften the blonde pieces and to create a more golden tone near the roots. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Angelica Adamé | Stockton Balayage Specialist 🤎 (@jellythecosmo) Does teddy blonde work on light & dark hair? Viral trends like this one won't work for every hair colour, or it could take a while to get there. According to Payne, achieving the perfect teddy blonde requires starting from a handful of specific base colours: 'For this look to work best, you would need to start from a 'dirty' blonde, dark blonde or light brown shade,' says Payne. For those with a darker base, Payne says that it's possible to lift the hair to a richer, more caramel tone that's similar but not as light. How long does teddy blonde hair last? The main appeal of teddy blonde is that it requires very little effort. For me, the looming feeling of 'having' to get my roots done is never a fun one. Seeing a darker root emerging is something I've enjoyed, but anything that requires less work was always going to be a win for me. That said, it's still hair colour, so with that in mind, how often do you need to refresh teddy blonde? 'To start with, I would say every three months,' suggests Payne, but because it's slightly darker than your average blonde, you might be able to stretch it to three or even four months. That's all thanks to the lowlights, says Payne: As time goes on, the lowlights will gradually penetrate deeper into the hair shaft and bond more strongly over time, making the shade last longer. At the same time, any bleach will relax and soften, says Payne. The appeal of the softer, lived-in look is that it fades more naturally. In other words, if you choose not to refresh it over the summer, it won't look severe come autumn. While teddy blonde is low-maintenance, it still deserves some love. Payne suggests investing in a deeply hydrating shampoo and conditioner: 'I always recommend the Pureology Hydrate range, and the Superfood Deep Treatment Mask is lovely, too.' How do you style teddy blonde hair? Styling is equally important to maximise the nuances of teddy blonde: 'A lot of the reference photos people bring in are of that '90s bouncy blowdry, which really does complement the colour,' says Payne. Adding, 'I also think using your natural texture works great, especially if you have beachy waves or natural curls, because the blonde bits really pop and the darker pieces will create more dimension.' While I usually wear my hair brushed out or in a slicked-back ponytail, Payne recommends enhancing natural waves with a hair cream, to help define strands, smooth hair and limit frizz. For curly hair, her top pick is the Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream, $59, which nourishes parched strands and imparts shine, all while enhancing your natural curl pattern. To elevate the shade, hairdresser Harry Payne recommended cutting in some texture to amp up the 'lived in' look. He took inspiration from '00s icons like Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, making my hair more piecey at the front with subtle curtain bangs. Now I get those soft, flowy pieces around my face even when I tie my hair up. Payne's top tip: Tuck the fringe pieces behind your ears when your hair is damp to achieve the perfect C-bend shape when dry. What's teddy blonde like IRL? I expected something super warm, but teddy blonde turned out much more subtle on me. The dark blonde tones woven through the honey blonde hues suited my complexion way better than the bleach blonde I'd outgrown. The gloss made my hair feel heavenly soft, and teamed with a much-needed cut, it left my hair feeling so much healthier. What's more, the added layers somehow made my hair look longer and thicker. Since I'm on a mission to grow my hair out this year, it was much appreciated. Bounding into the office, I was met with cries of 'It looks so natural!' and 'It suits you so well!', confirming my feeling that the colour was a good match for me. While the sun is likely to brighten the tones slightly over the summer, I know that I can go back to tone my hair at any time, without having to spend hours in the salon chair. Better still, it will look even more natural as it starts to grow out. Teddy blonde is a triumph, if you ask me.

George Russell talks us through a lap of Silverstone ahead of British Grand Prix
George Russell took pole position for last year's British Grand Prix. Here, ahead of his home race, the Mercedes driver takes the PA news agency on a lap of Silverstone. Abbey and Farm Curve Russell in action during the 2024 British Grand Prix at Silverstone (Andrew Matthews/PA) A qualifying lap at the British Grand Prix is one of the most exhilarating of the year. It is probably only beaten by Monaco. In a Formula One car, the first two corners are flat-out at 190mph. I could even do them with one hand. Village and The Loop I brake about 60 metres before Village, which means it is a fast entry, before swinging back over to the other side of the track for the left hander at Loop – the second slowest corner on the track. A good slingshot on the exit is pivotal as the Aintree kink takes us on to the long Wellington Straight. Brooklands, Luffield and Woodcote Silverstone can be windy because it is built on the site of a World War II Royal Air Force bomber station. It is very flat, too, so I am always watching out for the flags. On the top of the British Racing Drivers' Club building at Brooklands there is a Union Jack. I know if the flag is flying strongly, I can go in hotter because there will be a ton of downforce and the grip will be immense. But if the flag is drooping, I will have to bring it back a touch – braking maybe just two metres earlier – because there is a chance the car might snap and the likelihood of a mistake is greater. Advertisement The subsequent long-righter hand through Luffield and Woodcote is probably my least favourite on the track. It goes on forever, but is crucial because it sets me up for the old pit straight and Copse. Copse Corner I remember the first time I ever drove at Silverstone, I was in a Formula Four car and I would approach Copse at 130mph before braking and shifting down the gears. But in Formula One, I take it on at 190mph, and the minimum speed through the bend is more than 180mph. It is insane. Imagine you are in a rugby scrum and everybody is trying to push you in one direction. It is a constant force, but its abruptness means it can also feel like a rugby tackle which goes on and on. Advertisement My legs are flying one way, my bottom is clenching, and my neck, which is being exposed to 50 kilograms of G-force, just wants to fly off. I might be in and out of the corner in a second, but in that brief moment I tense and I don't breathe. Maggots, Becketts and Chapel Curve Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix for a record-extending ninth time in 2024 (Matthew Vincent/PA) This is the best sequence of corners in the world and the most impressive place ever to watch an F1 car. I approach at 195mph and decelerate to 145mph through the left-right-left sequence. It feels like a slalom with such incredible flow but I know the tiniest of errors will cost me. Hangar Straight and Stowe Stowe is my favourite part of the circuit and one of five corners in F1 that never ceases to amaze me. The car just feels alive. The right hander is so wide it allows me to attack it at more than 190mph. My speed drops to about 150mph as I rise over a small crest where I am aware of the thousands of British fans on the exit. Vale, Club Corner and Hamilton Straight I come into the final two corners knowing this is my last chance in the lap. Braking earlier at Vale allows me good momentum on the exit of Club and on to the Hamilton Straight. This approach will not compromise turns one and two which is ideal for the race. But in qualifying, where the finish line arrives earlier, I can carry more speed on the entry to Vale because I do not need to worry too much about my exit and the following lap.
