Nicola Peltz makes savage family remark as Brooklyn set to snub little sister Harper's big birthday
Nicola Peltz has made a number of eyebrow raising remarks about family life as her father's birthday celebrations enter a third week but it seems a return to the UK for Brooklyn's little sister Harper's big day is said to be highly unlikely. Talks of tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola's relationship with David and Victoria first started in 2022, around the time of the pair's wedding and it appears there are no signs of their frosty feud ending any time soon.
The 26-year-old aspiring chef is still celebrating the birthday of Nicola's billionaire dad, who she referred to as the "most loving father", just weeks after snubbing his own dad's 50th milestone birthday in the UK. The American actress has paid another gushing tribute to her family again as her father Nelson Peltz's 83rd birthday celebrations continue into a second week.
Showing her followers her Pop Mart dolls lined up in a row, she wrote: "our little family", with a telling second snap, which she captioned: "My mom just gets it." There was more to come as she rounded off her collection with a snap of herself hugging her father, writing: "I love you so much dad."
Meanwhile, her husband Brooklyn's younger sister Harper turns 14 on Thursday but a source claims that the Peltz Beckhams have no intentions of joining in on the teen's celebrations back in the UK, the Mirror reports.
Harper, who is the youngest of Posh and Beck's four kids, is said to have become collateral damage alongside Brooklyn's two younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, as an insider claims the family fallout is mainly between Brooklyn and his parents.
The source said: 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn.
"They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers.
"But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.'

While Brooklyn and Nicola celebrated billionaire Nelson's birthday in Bedford New York with the Peltz family, Posh and Becks were back at home in the UK.
Nicola, 30, later posted a snap to social media of her and Brooklyn with her dad and penned a gushing tribute.
It said: 'I am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father I could ever dream of… Thank you for always being there for us – our constant love and support.'
If Brooklyn fails to acknowledge his little sister's birthday, it will be the latest hurtful move in a string of snubbed family events and milestones that the Beckham's eldest son has dismissed amid their ongoing rift.
In May, Brooklyn missed all of David's pre-birthday bashes in the Cotswolds and Paris, also snubbing his star-studded dinner at the Michelin starred west London restaurant.
The football icon was joined by some of his closest pals to celebrate his 50th birthday, including Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and Guy Ritchie, and was treated to a performance by son Cruz, 20, on his guitar, while Romeo, 22, was tasked with the job of carrying in David's cake.
Given that Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father's big milestone on any of his social media channels but publicly wished Nelson 'A Happy Birthday'.
He also remained silent on Father's Day and when his father was honoured with a royal knighthood last month.
Therefore, insiders have claimed that the chances of Brooklyn 'showing up for Harper' are looking pretty slim.
The source said:'A teenage birthday is a big deal for any child and in the past they've always tried to do things together as a family. 'Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it's not looking likely at all.

Period talk needs to stop. Period
When the supermodel Brooks Nader's period started at Wimbledon, naturally she turned to social media. 'Tries to be chic. Starts period at Wimbledon,' Nader wrote, alongside a snap on TikTok showing blood stains on the back of her skirt. 'A canon event for all us girlies!', someone bleated in response. The American model was praised for being 'real' and 'NORMALISING' periods. May I be the first to say: Nader should have kept this to herself. This is just the latest example of a disturbing tendency among women to overshare about their menstrual cycles. Nader flaunting her uterine shedding in a white designer outfit is being hailed as a victory for feminism. Her fans would lead us to believe she is single handedly upholding the very notion of women's empowerment. She isn't. The grisly celebration of women bleeding only confirms the way menstruation has become a hot topic. Women are obsessed with talking about their periods, in what we are told is not an icky example of TMI (too much information), but a brave victory towards finally ending the (alleged) shame and stigma surrounding periods. BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has spoken frankly about her experience of debilitating painful periods, giving talks at book festivals and popping up on the radio to speak about her menstrual cycle. Her BBC colleague Emma Barnett has written a whole book, Period: It's About Bloody Time, on women's bleeding. Davina McCall has made an industry out of women not having periods, cashing in on the menopause©. McCall has released two documentaries on the subject – Davina McCall: Sex, Myths and the Menopause and Davina McCall: Sex, Mind and The Menopause – and co-authored a book called Menopausing. Am I the only one longing for a time when professional women were not reduced to talking about their hormones? This onslaught of menstrual chat has become so bloody relentless. 'It's that time of the month again…to shout about periods!' the Wellbeing of Women website says, having celebrated Menstrual Hygiene Day on 28 May. No, it isn't. Bookshop shelves are streaked with the blood red covers of tomes imploring readers that it's Not Just a Period (although it is). Oscar-winning films explore the impact of our time of the month. Athletes, pop-stars and actresses clamour to share yucky details of what it's like to dare to appear in public while having their periods. Do these ladies not realise that women have been doing this for centuries without fuss? The excessive sharing of details about bodily fluids is bad enough, but what's worse is how totally disingenuous the whole conversation around the 'shattering the shame' of periods is. Sure, in some countries around the world women are still compelled to isolate themselves or hide during their periods. This is appalling. These women deserve our help. But that's hardly the case in the UK, where it's been years since Kiran Gandhi ran the London Marathon 'free-bleeding' with crimson stains streaming down the inner thighs of her red leggings. That was in 2015. We've seen it all before. Women have been making art out of their menstrual blood since the 1970s. A decade on, the enthusiasm for celebrating women's periods is becoming unbearable. Our foremothers fought hard for women not to be defined by their bodies; they pushed back against the limiting notion that women are too fragile, or emotional at certain times of the month, to function. They resisted the attempt by some men to reduce us to our child-birthing capacities. But by focusing obsessively on periods, women risk reinforcing that message. A recent survey of Gen Zers found that 78 per cent of them supported companies bringing in menstrual leave. Some countries, including Spain, have implemented such policies, although luckily Italy saw sense – perhaps realising that this idea risks reinforcing harmful sexist stereotypes, not least the idea that women might be emotionally unstable during their periods or incapable of normally functioning in a workplace. This, of course, is a notion that's been used forever to keep women out of public spaces. This whole discussion of periods is especially triggering for me as I grew up with hippies. I was thus forced to see in my first period with a family celebration. My teenage years were haunted by trips to Glastonbury (the hippie town not the festival) where we celebrated the sacred yoni (google it. Or on second thoughts, don't). You can't imagine what it does to a teenage girl's sense of her body to be inundated with images of trees carved into the shape of vaginas and sung chants celebrating her divine feminine flow. If anything, it was that creepy perving that made me ashamed of my period in the first place. It showed me first-hand how a culture that ostensibly celebrates 'earth mothers' is used by leftie men to keep women as breeding grounds, home makers and carers. Meanwhile, men get to do the fun stuff like getting stoned and whittling spoons. It's the year 2025, and I refuse to believe that anyone is really still ashamed of having periods – and I'm sick of hearing about them. While it's true that women wait too long for gynaecological care, it doesn't mean we have to ruin every dinner party with chats about periods. God knows I'm a prolific over-sharer, but even to me that feels a bit bloody much.

Absolute creamer! Instagram star Prime Mutton takes America – with a passion for pints
You might not be familiar with Prime Mutton. Maybe you haven't heard his catchphrases – 'absolute creamer', 'muttonista', or the still-in-development 'creamerisimo'. If so, you're missing out on a man who in the space of a year has created little short of a cult: an army of more than 160,000 social media fans, including celebrities, who cheer along online and in person as their leader – basically – reviews beer. Prime Mutton, whose real name is Jason Hackett, isn't the typical social media star. He is not, with all due respect, a beautiful twentysomething posting videos that are brightly lit with nice colors and snappy edits. He's a 55-year-old professional bridge player from Manchester, with a moustache, a leather pork pie hat, and a body that, he readily admits, reflects his enthusiasm for ale. The lighting in his videos is not up to professional standards, they are rife with background noise – he films the videos in bars – and his recent experiments with fonts and emojis have frequently been chaotic. But what Prime Mutton does have is a passion: a passion for pints. That devotion, coupled with his unvarnished persona and his 'absolute creamer' catchphrase – uttered with relish when a beer meets his high standards – have been enough for him to succeed where so many Brits before him have not: he has cracked America. 'I think people, when I publish my little videos and posts, it brings them quite a lot of happiness,' Prime Mutton told the Guardian on a recent Sunday in Brooklyn. 'People, you know, wake up, they're about to go to work, or they're at work on their break, and it's something that makes them happy – and it's wholesome and authentic as well.' Prime Mutton – 'the brain in terms of knowledge of food and drink is prime; the body is mutton, in that I'm not exactly a honed, prime physical athletic specimen' – is on his first US tour, appearing in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and beyond. He has visited dozens of bars, drawing thousands of fans, many wearing T-shirts bearing his face or holding banners with the legend 'absolute creamer'. The in-person appearances, which Prime Mutton announces in advance on his Instagram, follow the same formula as his videos. Prime Mutton appears on camera standing in a bar, holding a pint of beer. He greets the visiting 'muttonistas' – a term he coined for fans, and one which they have eagerly embraced, before announcing where he is, and which beer he is going to review. Then the magic begins. Sommeliers and cicerones advise that the best way to taste wine or beer is to swish it in the glass, sniff, sip, and swill it around in your mouth to really assess the flavors. Prime Mutton does not do this. Instead, he raises his pint and takes a gigantic swig, a full four or five gulps, until two-thirds of the beer is consumed. After coming up for air, he takes a few moments before delivering his verdict. The gold standard, for Prime Mutton and his adherents, is that the beer is an 'absolute creamer'. His delivery of the phrase, which he said he picked up on a visit to Ireland, sends crowds online and in person into ecstasy. The Guardian met Prime Mutton at a bar close to where he was due to make his first appearance of the day. The idea was to have a private chat before he addressed the muttonistas. But nowhere is private for Prime Mutton these days. As we talked, a man, in his 50s, balding, with a grey beard, spotted us through the window and began to wave, hopping up and down excitedly. The man was Paul Giamatti, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning, Oscar- and Bafta-nominated actor. From outside, Giamatti motioned for us to stay in place – the man really can act – and ran out of view. He quickly reappeared with his son and hustled into the bar. He was wearing a black polo shirt which said 'Muttonista' above an image of Prime Mutton. Giamatti introduced himself as Paul. Rarely has a man looked happier. He asked if he could have a photo. 'Of course,' said Prime Mutton – and one was taken. The two men chatted briefly before a beaming Giamatti left. I asked Prime Mutton if he knew who that was. He did not. I told him it was a famous actor. 'See, that's not my world,' Prime Mutton said, but he did add that Giamatti 'seemed very nice'. Giamatti satiated, it was time for Prime Mutton to head to Hartley's bar, where about 150 people had gathered in a pub designed to hold about 30 people. The majority of the crowd had to settle for a spot outside, some spilling over into the road. Mutton was here to sample the Guinness, which he had been told was among the best the city has to offer. As we walked round the corner together, the crowd went wild. There was a primal roar, like people cheering a musician as they emerge at the Super Bowl. This was Mutton as a more conservatively dressed, somewhat heavier Kendrick Lamar – a rough and ready British interpretation of American celebrity. Inside, an area had been spaced out for Prime Mutton to taste the bar's Guinness. A hush went over the crowd as he was presented with a pint. He raised it to his lips and paused, a showman teasing his audience. Then he drank, gulp after gulp, as he drained more than two-thirds of the beer. Prime Mutton set the glass down on the bar. He smacked his lips. Foam hung on his moustache. Tension hung in the air. The crowd was now completely silent. Their entire focus was on this man, wearing a pork pie hat and suspenders, a man about to make days or crush dreams. Hairs on the backs of necks were raised. Which way would Caesar Mutton's thumb point? He paused, considering his decision. 'That's good. It's very good actually,' Prime Mutton said, but there was more. 'However, I can't say it's the best pint I've had in New York.' Hearts sank. His assessment wasn't over, however. 'But it's still so good,' Prime Mutton said, 'that I'm going to call it an absolute creamer.' An almighty cheer went up. People went wild. Men jumped up and down and hugged each other. High fives were exchanged between strangers. A woman nearly fell off a stool. The muttonistas, much like Prime Mutton's thirst, had been sated. 'He's completely endearing, and sort of what I need in my heart right now, given the state of the world,' said Nick Lucchesi, as Prime Mutton polished off the rest of his pint. 'I mean, look at him. He's smiling and kind of quite Mancunian in all the best ways.' Lucchesi had already seen Mutton once on this tour, but came back for more, cycling across Brooklyn to lend his support. 'He's certainly a wonderful bloke. I just feel like: who doesn't like a Guinness? And a nice guy dropping a catchphrase and talking about it? It makes you feel good,' he said. Others echoed the sentiment. And at a time when male influencers are frequently awful, it's true that Mutton offers something different from the rest. He's not ordering young men to dunk their heads in ice at 3.50am. He's not a misogynist, he's not racist, he doesn't belittle anyone, he's basically … not a dickhead. He's just a man, a man who likes drinking beer, who likes making his videos, and likes bringing people joy. At a time when a lot is wrong with society, when many of us have found ourselves searching for something real and grounded and normal, who wouldn't want to be a muttonista? This article was amended on 7 July 2025. A previous version said Paul Giamatti had been introduced to Prime Mutton by his son. It was actually Giamatti who introduced his son to Prime Mutton.

Interior fans in frenzy over ‘pretty' £9.99 mirror from Home Bargains that's ‘much bigger' than The Range version
INTERIOR fans have been racing to Home Bargains to pick up a "pretty" full length mirror after spotting it in store. The retail giant is currently selling the lilac wavy mirror for just £9.99. 2 2 While it's advertised as being part of the "kids edit", shoppers have insisted they don't just want it for their child's room. So if you want to give your pad a splash of colour and fun twist, you've come to the right place. Home Bargains bosses said savvy interior lovers "shouldn't settle for ordinary" and hailed the mirror as the "perfect addition" to homes. And it seems like people are in full agreement as they've been running to get their hands on it. One shopper shared a snap of the mirror on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, which boasts 2.6million members, and said: "£9.99 home bargains." Her post immediately racked up 300 likes and 185 comments. A second wrote: "Kids bedroom?! That pink or lilac one is going on my landing." "They're not just for kids tho are they, I love this kind of decor", echoed a third. A fourth chimed in: "Kids room? I want one for myself." A £7.99 Home Bargains buy made my hallway look SO much bigger but everyone's saying the same thing about my DIY method A fifth added: "I bought the one from The Range when I couldn't find the Home Bargains one, it's much smaller than the Home Bargains one. But thankfully found it yesterday so currently have both." Meanwhile, a sixth said: "Love this mirror I want one now lol." If you're a fan of colour in your home, then there's also an interiors trend that you may also want to take note of this year. Colour drenching is predicted to be a huge hit for 2025 and involves using one colour on all surfaces in a room - even down to the light switches and skirting boards. Experts say it makes rooms seem bigger by allowing walls, ceilings and built-in cupboards to all seamlessly blend in together. By painting everything in the same shade, you eradicate any strong contrasts or harsh lines and instead allow the eyes to glide over a room. 'Colour drenching simply means painting everything the same shade: the walls, woodwork, ceiling and even radiators or furniture,' the experts at British paint and wallpaper manufacturer Farrow & Ball said. 'It's become more and more popular recently, but this way of decorating is far from a fleeting trend. 'Whether you want to make a room feel bigger and lighter or cosy and inviting, there's a way to make colour drenching suit you – it's all about which colour you choose.'
