Nicola Peltz is slammed for riding behind Brooklyn Beckham on his motorbike without protective gear as he makes feelings clear on escalating family feud
Brooklyn Beckham appeared to make his feelings very clear on a rumoured feud he and wife Nicola Peltz are in with his famous parents on Sunday. But it was another part of a video he shared that really drew the attention of fans, his wife's motorbike riding gear - or lack thereof. The eldest Beckham child, 26, took to Instagram with a clip of him whisking his wife off for an early morning motorbike ride along palm-lined streets, presumably close to their southern California home. In the video they cruised around on the motorbike as Nicola put his arms around Brooklyn and held on. However while they were both wearing helmets, neither Nicola not Brooklyn had any protective jackets, trousers or gloves on - which are essential to avoid serious injury if you end up in accident. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Nicola was also criticised for wrapping her arms around her hubby's shoulder, another safety concern, as the proper way of riding as a passenger is to hold their hips to allow stability while turning. People commented: 'First things first! Your whole world should be wearing safety gear. At the least, a riding jacket. I dont care how safe of a driver you are. Not everyone is, and people drive carelessly. When I met my husband, we would go a ride here and there. Even on the hottest days, if I complained or didn't want to wear my jacket, there was no going for a ride. Safety first ALWAYS. Those thin leggings and thin shirt she is wearing are useless and provide no protection. This isn't the time to make a fashion statement,'; 'No gloves, no protection jacket, Notizheft right shoes, etc you should be more careful to yourself and others. A good insta video is not worth to risk your life and not a role model for your followers,'; 'Never go out on a [bike emoji] with no leathers on,'; 'Dress like you're going to fall man 'Wear some protection. It's no fun losing fingers/hands. You both look like tools. Zero respect,'; 'Why are you filming.. soo silly and putting both your lives at risk. No protective gear on. You think a helmet is going to help when you've no skin left on your body,'; 'My whole world scrapped over bitumen isn't a nice look. Try safety wear first,'; 'If she's your whole world leather up… protect her whilst riding. 'Why are her hands around your neck and not around your waist? Please wear leathers,'; The influencer appeared to make his feelings clear in his latest Instagram video and caption 'Protect your wife with a motorbike jacket, ffs! Have you seen what happens when you fall off? Crazy.' Battle lines appeared to be drawn on Sunday as Brooklyn vowed to 'always choose' his wife in the midst of the escalating feud with his devoted parents. David and Victoria Beckham 's eldest child and his actress wife Nicola are understood to be at the heart of a bitter fallout with his family, who are based in the United Kingdom while they reside in Los Angeles. But the influencer appeared to make his feelings clear in an Instagram video shared on Sunday, in which he pledged his unwavering loyalty to Peltz, 30 - the daughter of Miami-based billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz. Captioning the short motorbike video, he wrote: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.' It comes after Victoria and husband David made yet another attempt to extend an olive branch to their son Brooklyn on Thursday evening as they attended the TIME100 Impact Dinner in New York City. Putting on a united front at the event the couple displayed a family photo taken at Victoria's 50th last year which included all four of their children. It captured a moment reminiscent of happier times for the family, prior to their ongoing feud with their eldest son, 26, and his wife Nicola. Captioning the short video, he wrote: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby' While Brooklyn was present at the former Spice Girl's big birthday last year, both he and his wife failed to make an appearance at her 51st or at David's 50th earlier this month. And while his other brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, took to social media to pay their birthday tributes to their parents, on both occasions Brooklyn stayed silent. Earlier this week David was named on the Time100 Philanthropy list as he was recognised for his decades of advocacy and philanthropy, particularly through his work with UNICEF. And while David and Victoria are understood to be devastated following the fall-out with Brooklyn, the pair put on a united front at the event. The Spice Girls alum cut an elegant figure in a sharp black tuxedo jacket and pants, paired with a white button up underneath. Meanwhile David looked handsome as ever in a black suit and tie as they posed with NBA star Stephen Curry, 37, and his wife Ayesha Curry, 36. However Thursday's event isn't the first time the couple have attempted to offer an olive branch to Brooklyn after Victoria took to Instagram last Monday to share a group photo of their four children alongside her father, Tony Adams - who celebrated his birthday over the weekend. Captioning the post with the accompanying message: 'We both love you all so much!', the undated photo also features Victoria's mother Jackie, flanked by Brooklyn and his siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, 13. David is allegedly 'desperate to make amends with his son as he fears history is repeating itself' following his bitter fall out with his father Ted in 2005. In the latest evidence of this, David included Brooklyn in a post about Mother's Day in the U.S. as he dedicated a post to the mother of his children, Victoria. A sweet black and white photo showed Victoria cuddled up with her four kids, soon after welcoming their daughter Harper. Alongside the photo, David wrote: 'Happy Mother's Day to the best mommy. To all our friends in the U.S. Happy Mother's Day.' Meanwhile, Victoria shared a photograph of a beautiful bouquet of flowers she had been sent by Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29. While David and his dad Ted, 77, now share a close-knit relationship, the father-son duo were once not even on speaking terms. After Ted suffered a near-death health scare in 2007, it sparked the pair to make amends and get back in touch - and they have been close ever since. And now David is reportedly worried 'history is repeating itself' amid his rift with his eldest son Brooklyn. Last week Brooklyn came close to bumping into his father David during a fly-in visit to London - but the pair still seem to be worlds apart amid their ongoing feud. Last week Victoria extended an olive branch to Brooklyn as she took to Instagram to share a group photo of their four children alongside her father, Tony Adams The aspiring chef was back in the UK posing for a new modelling campaign with upscale fashion company Moncler following strained relations with the wider Beckham family. While Brooklyn was taking part in the photoshoot, his father David was just half a mile up the road at the Chelsea Flower Show chatting to King Charles and Queen Camilla. It was a fly-in visit for Brooklyn who arrived in London early Monday morning and was at the photoshoot from 9am until around 4pm.

Let's not wait for fatal accidents to happen
Denis Campbell's article rightly highlights the UK's worsening health outcomes (UK 'the sick person of the wealthy world' amid increase in deaths from drugs and violence, 20 May), but it overlooks a key driver: the sharp rise in preventable accidents. Research by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) shows that the rate of accidental deaths has surged by 42% in the past decade and has risen fastest in the middle-aged. Accidents are now the second leading cause of death for under‑40s. These are not random tragedies; they are systemic failures. Currently there is no government plan to address this issue and responsibility is fragmented across many departments. RoSPA is calling for a national accident prevention strategy to get the UK back on track. Accidents cost the NHS £6bn annually and result in 29 million lost working days – 10 times more than strikes. A coordinated, cross-government approach would save lives, ease pressure on the NHS and support economic growth. We cannot continue to ignore a crisis that is both avoidable and escalating. Other nations have shown that strategic, data-led prevention policies can dramatically reduce accidental harm. The UK must follow suit by appointing a dedicated minister to lead a cross-departmental response. Without leadership and investment, we risk allowing this silent epidemic to grow – at immense human and economic Cole Director of policy and impact, RoSPA, Dr James Broun Research manager, RoSPA Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?
