Natalie Pinkham CROPS her friend out of selfie with Brad Pitt before posting it to social media as she jokes she is going to make it her phone wallpaper
shamelessly cropped her pal Rachel Brookes out of a selfie with Brad Pitt and shared the photo of just the two of them on her social media page. The Sky Sports presenter, 47, was pictured snapping several shots with fellow Sky presenter Rachel, 51, and the Hollywood hunk at the F1 European premiere. However in the post shared to her Instagram page, Rachel was nowhere to be seen as she cosied up to Brad in the photograph. Natalie joked whether her husband Owain Walbyoff - who she affectionately calls Wiggy - and their children would mind if she made the image her phone background. F1 reporter Natalie has a cameo in the upcoming racing film and was in attendance at the premiere in London on Tuesday afternoon. Natalie looked lovely for the occasion in a black evening dress with gold chain detailing, which she teamed with a pair of strappy heels. Elsewhere at the premiere, Brad looked positively smitten as he packed on the PDA with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon. He cut a dapper figure as he arrived on the red carpet with the stunning 32-year-old, who was quick to help fix the star's outfit in front of the cameras. Brad donned a double-breasted British Racing Green-coloured suit, while flashing his movie star smile from behind tinted aviators. He paired it with a white collared shirt underneath, leaving the top buttons undone to reveal a satin scarf, which Ines was spotted adjusting in between snaps on the carpet. While she was already picture perfect, putting on a dazzling display in a champagne coloured halter-neck gown, that clung to her slender frame. She ensured all eyes were on her in the show-stopping number, which was encrusted in intricate beading and sequins and flashed a glimpse of her ample cleavage. He cut a dapper figure as he arrived on the red carpet with the stunning 32-year-old, who was quick to help fix the star's outfit in front of the cameras Brad plays the lead role of as troubled race car driver Sonny Hayes, who is pitted against rookie and rival Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) as they battle it out at various Grand Prix's around the world. While the reviews for F1: The Movie aren't quite all in yet, social media reactions from several critics began flooding in on X this week. Many praised Brad and Damson's onscreen chemistry, as well the movie's overall look thanks to director Joseph Kosinski, who last worked on Top Gun: Maverick. With some even branding F1 the 'Top Gun for racing fans' - three years after the Tom Cruise aviator movie made an eye-popping $1.496 billion worldwide.
