Fashion mogul Victoria Beckham has garnered support from an unexpected quarter following her son Brooklyn's apparent Father's Day oversight – none other than Yolanda Hadid, a fellow mother with her own past involving Nicola Peltz.
Yolanda, the mother to renowned models Gigi and Bella, made a conspicuous show of solidarity with Victoria amid the buzz surrounding her husband David's recent knighthood.
It's known that Yolanda experienced tension with Nicola during the time she dated her son Anwar for a year and a half.

The 61 year old reportedly took issue with the age gap between Nicola, then 22, and Anwar, who was 18 at the time. Following their breakup, Nicola went on to unfollow the entire Hadid clan on social media.
Despite not being close confidantes, Yolanda engaged with Victoria's celebratory post about David's knighthood last week, leaving a heart emoji in response, reports the Mirror.
Victoria, 51, had shared a heartfelt message online, proclaiming David had "always been my knight in shining armour...but now it's official."
Previously, Gigi and Bella graced the runway for Victoria's Paris Fashion Week show in 2022, later seen backstage sharing a moment with Victoria's daughter Harper.
Nicola's fleeting relationship with Anwar occurred as she was establishing herself in the acting world. In one interview, she spoke fondly of Anwar: 'Honestly, he is an angel.
"He's such an amazing person. He comes from such an amazing family.
"Gigi and Bella are so, so sweet. I just love his family so much.
"They're feminine, strong girls. To have that around is amazing."
Insiders close to Nicola have maintained that there's no animosity between her and the Hadids, suggesting that her decision to unfollow them on social media is a typical move after a break up.
The Hadids have yet to respond to requests for comments about their relationship with Peltz. The Beckhams reportedly had a falling out with Brooklyn's wife after she and Brooklyn failed to attend David's 50th birthday bash earlier this year.
Adding fuel to the fire, Brooklyn was noticeably silent on Father's Day last week. Sources close to Nicola assert that a reconciliation seems unlikely at present due to the "highly charged atmosphere.".
Nicola's friends have previously claimed that as "an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within".

Rat the size of a cat gnaws on couple's clothes as they sleep in luxury hotel

Dr Kiran Morjaria was on holiday in Sri Lanka with his girlfriend when she woke him in the middle of the night A British doctor holidaying in Sri Lanka was left aghast when his girlfriend roused him in the dead of night, convinced that an intruder was in their room. Upon illuminating their surroundings, the reality was revolting – a rat as large as a small cat had invaded their upscale hotel room. Kiran Morjaria, a doctor and YouTuber, recounted the petrifying incident to his 32,000 TikTok followers, a tale sure to make anyone consider sleeping with the lights on during their next holiday. Kiran's partner, who is petrified of insects, alerted him in the night, but he initially dismissed her fears, assuring her she was just imagining things. ‌ Yet, what they discovered later was far more alarming than any insect. ‌ He said: "When I was in Sri Lanka last year my girlfriend is terrified of insects and that sort of thing. She got me up and said 'I can hear something' in the middle of the night. I said 'You are just imagining it - there is nothing here.'". But mere minutes later, his girlfriend's insistence led to a startling discovery. Kiran added: "About ten minutes later she gets me up again and says 'I can definitely hear something in the room so I get up and turn the light on.'", reports the Mirror. That's when Kiran came face-to-face with the colossal rodent that had been lurking in their suite. He exclaimed: "And there I see the biggest rat I have ever seen in my life. I'm talking literally the size of a small cat." What Kiran encountered at his accommodation was even more alarming as he revealed the mammoth rat was "nibbling on our clothes inside the room." Kiran then urged his followers to impart their own nightmare experiences in the comments, which yielded some grisly tales. ‌ One recounted a mortifying situation involving her child's nappy fiasco at a swimming pool. She said: "We had the entire swimming pool closed off as our new-born baby pooped in his swim nappy and its was explosive upset tummy we was very embarrassed." Euan's anecdote also featured an explosive element of a different nature. He narrated: "At Nantes airport my T-shirt got swabbed for explosives multiple times and came back and cause I was playing with cap guns the day before." Katy, on the other hand, experienced a harrowing near-miss straight after leaving JFK airport. She recounted: "Leaving JFK airport for Manhattan, Taxi speeding, 60mph head on collision, Police said we're lucky not going home in a body bag, taken to Queens Hosp!". In light of Kiran's initial story, another commenter voiced their opinion, surmising they would have found it difficult to fall asleep again. They remarked: "Arrrrrhhh (not even scared of rats normally but I'd have screamed and not slept."

Ex-ITV This Morning star Holly Willoughby looks almost unrecognisable in new look

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Holly Willoughby has wowed her followers with a daring new style, and they are absolutely loving it. The ex-This Morning presenter, aged 44, took to Instagram this Thursday to show off her chic transformation, featuring tousled waves and some strikingly bold spectacles. The mother of three shared a selfie from the car, making light of her new role as 'personal party driver' for her kids. Holly's caption read: "Any other mums/dads of 16 year old, post GCSE children suddenly find themselves with a new role of personal party driver? Mums 'Mini' Cabs ... and yes... I'm now a Glasses wearer... game changer." Holly, alongside her husband Dan Baldwin, is a doting parent to their three children: 16 year old Harry, Belle who is 12, and Chester, aged nine. With Harry having just finished his GCSEs, it appears Holly has been drafted into driving duties for his post-exam celebrations. Following the reveal of her updated image, Holly's fans swarmed the comments section to praise her natural wavy locks, with one fan writing: "Gorgeous. You look so pretty and the glasses really suit you." Another fan added their voice, saying: "Wow! ! ! Holly you have never looked better," reports the Mirror. This flurry of admiration comes amidst reports that Holly's future career moves are uncertain, as she currently doesn't have any new television projects lined up. Despite being a familiar face on our screens for many years, fans may have to wait a while before seeing what's next for the star. The television favourite finds herself at a crossroads, facing the first time in 21 years without a programme in the pipeline. This follows the cancellation of her regular presenting role on Dancing On Ice, bringing the show to an end. Holly's other venture, Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls, has also been dropped from the schedule. Additionally, she has decided to step away from You Bet! leaving Stephen Mulhern to present solo. However, there's potential on the horizon as Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is reportedly developing a revival of Record Breakers, which could see Holly back in the presenting spotlight. The Sun cites an insider claiming it would be "perfect sense" for Holly to helm the show. The source commented: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly." Holly's name is also among those being considered for hosting duties on a reboot of Cilla Black's Blind Date, with Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall also in the running. Another potential project for Holly is a new Channel 4 show aimed at discovering fresh singing talent. Holly made her TV comeback last year after an 18-month hiatus. (Image: Instagram/ @hollywilloughby) Reports also suggest that ITV is eager to retain Holly's talents, following recent discussions with Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime, regarding future projects. An insider has disclosed: "Holly always intended to lock in new presenting roles for ITV, which has been her home for so long. She didn't have anything confirmed earlier this year just due to the way the cards had fallen, but there are a string of exciting projects on the table and 2025 is looking good for Holly." They continued, highlighting her career ambitions: "Holly is looking to the future and this week's meeting was a big part of that. It won't be a return to daytime programming but new entertainment formats." The strategic meeting happened alongside the broadcast of a documentary that delves into a harrowing episode from her past. The documentary in question, Channel 5's The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, showcased the chilling plans of an obsessed security guard named Gavin Plumb who intended to kidnap, assault, and kill Holly. Deciding not to be involved in the documentary, Holly made the choice subsequent to her traumatic ordeal to step back from her role on ITV1's This Morning and momentarily retire from her television commitments.
