Romeo Beckham shuns first class on Jet2 flight as Brooklyn bonds with billionaire in-laws
Former footballer Romeo Beckham was spotted getting on a budget airline flight in Birmingham as his older brother Brooklyn Beckham snubbed his family at his vow renewals Romeo Beckham had Jet2 passengers doing a double take as he was spotted patiently waiting for a budget flight rather than his parent's private jet. The son of David and Victoria Beckham kept a low profile as he opted for a cheap getaway. He has millions in the bank thanks to his famous mum and dad, but donned a black hoodie and matching jogging bottoms as he queued up with fellow passengers. Romeo kept busy on his phone as he was snapped waiting by barriers at Birmingham Airport. The former footballer was then snapped on the plane as he took a window seat for the journey. It comes after Romeo and his famous family were snubbed from brother Brooklyn's vow renewals to Nicola Peltz, with his billionaire father-in-law officiating the service. Romeo wore a black beanie hat and kept his headphones in as he flew to France. He was captured in zmj703's TikTok video, with many fans stunned he chose to fly with the budget airline. However, it seemed to be his expensive choice of luggage that gave the game away for him. One said: "Blending in with thousands and thousands of pounds worth of bags." Another added: "Just shows he's normal like the rest of us..." It seems Romeo is keen to keep busy and focus on doing his own thing as his family's feud rumbles on. Earlier this month, Brooklyn and his wife of three years Nicola decided to renew their vows but only in front of her family. Not only were his parents David and Victoria in the dark, but so too were his three siblings Cruz, Harper and Romeo, as well as his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. None of Brooklyn's UK-based friends were invited to the Los Angeles-based service and it is thought the first everyone knew about the service was when they read about it in media reports. A source told the Mirror: 'It must have been very upsetting to find out this way.' This week, Nicola and Brooklyn revealed photos of their special day as they flooded their social media with the snaps. "We just wanted a really beautiful experience — a really cute memory," Brooklyn told People about the decision. "To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. "I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they're going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun." Nicola's billionaire dad Nelson took on a starring role as officiant, three years on from their $3million bash at the Peltz family's sea front estate in Florida. It's understood that their estrangement from Brooklyn's family was first sparked on their big day, with reports of disagreements with Victoria over the wedding gown and a song choice she was said to have 'stolen' from the couple. Signs of a rift have steadily been showing between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckhams, with cracks having already been spotted at the pair's original wedding. Since then, Brooklyn has opted to shun his family, going as far as to snub his own father's 50th birthday plans and his knighthood. His brothers Romeo and Cruz are no longer appearing to follow Brooklyn on social media.

Jeremy Clarkson slammed by fans for controversial pub change
In the latest season of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video, the main focus for Mr Clarkson and co was getting his pub - The Farmer's Dog - up and running. Clarkson announced last August that his pub would be all British, but admitted he was struggling to find certain ingredients. Despite the initial quick turnaround of getting his pub up and running, his attempts to go "all British" hit a wall. It looks like this year's harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. He posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "We are attempting to go all British for the food at my pub. But we are struggling to find black pepper grown here. Can anyone help?" Following this, the latest series depicts signs up in the pub declaring that the pub is 100% British, which means there is no ketchup served there. However, Condimaniac took up the challenge to create a 100% British ketchup and then aimed to get it stocked at the Farmer's Dog. The condiment company behind the creation of a 100% British-sourced ketchup has declared victory in its bid to provide a ketchup for Jeremy Clarkson's pub. On Instagram, co-founder Kier Kemp said he was really impressed by the pub. "It is not just a gimmick for them they do really live and breathe this 100% British thing," he said. Mr Kemp also added it was one of the 'best wholesale clients I have ever dealt with'. "The team there, the Diddly Squat farm shop that's on site and the pub, everyone I have met is super lovely," he said. "I am glad that I can report they are actually nice people. It is not always like that." However, fans took issue with the fact that the Diddly Squat seemingly made them relabel their product to include their own brand. Recommended reading: On a recent TikTok showing the creation of the sauce and bottle, fans blasted the decision. One said: "Hate that they made you get a new label for it". Another commented: "As if they made you relabel it" Whilst someone else replied: "I don't think it's right to make the label change, it's YOUR sauce promoting HIS business, he doesn't need to be on the label that big anyway. Newsquest has approached Diddly Squat Farm for comment.
