Gemma Collins campaigns to be a Dame as David Beckham earns knighthood
TV personality Gemma Collins revealed she would love to become a Dame in a video shared online. It comes as David Beckham was knighted in the King's Birthday Honours List Reality star icon Gemma Collins revealed her wish to become a Dame as she joked the title had "a ring to it". The TV personality's wish comes as David Beckham became a Sir, and his wife Victoria a Lady, when he was announced as part of the King's Birthday Honours List this weekend. Gemma is mostly known as being a reality TV icon who provided fans with unforgettable moments on TV. However, she has now set her sights on bigger and better things as she talked about becoming a Dame while getting her makeup done on the set of the Paddy Power Ascot Ladies' Day advert from last month. "I ain't being funny, but Dame Gemma has got a ring to it," she said in a clip shared online. "And this year at Ascot I'm going to find King Charles because it's what his mother would have wanted." Meanwhile, football star Sir David's knighthood was finally confirmed last night as the King's Birthday Honours list was released. It comes after the news was leaked a week before the official announcement made – a move which could have jeopardised the 50 year old's much longed for title, the Mirror exclusively revealed last week. Luckily for Sir David, the leak hasn't prevented him from getting the title he has wished for for a number of years as the news was confirmed in the King's Birthday Honours List, which was released last night. Sir Beckham is receiving the knighthood for his services to sport and charity, it has been announced. After the news of his knighthood was released, his wife Victoria took to her Instagram page to pay tribute to the football icon with a sweet photo of her planting a sweet kiss on his cheek. In the caption, she penned: "You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! "What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. "The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine.I love you so much xxxx". His sons Cruz and Romeo also shared their pride in their own posts, with Romeo writing: "So so proud of you," and Cruz adding: "I'm so proud of you dad I love you. Sir David Beckham has a nice ring to it."
