The pair have been at loggerheads for some time now but in January it came to a head when the 27-year-old made explosive allegations in a lengthy Instagram post.

He claimed that his mother “hijacked” his first dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and danced “inappropriately on me” in front of their guests, adding that he had never felt more “uncomfortable or humiliated” in his life.

The public feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his family began simmering in April 2022 and has been reported on in the press since.

However, it has been alleged by Pop B*tch that the pair’s falling out may have started when Brooklyn was linked to the singer Rita Ora.

Brooklyn Beckham and Rita Ora were linked in May 2017 after being spotted enjoying a dinner date at the Electric Diner in Notting Hill.

The online blog wrote it is an “unlikely rumour circulating in West London about the real reasons for the father-son fall out.

“That Brooklyn’s unhappiness with his Dad pre-dates his marriage to Nicola. It started back when he had a brief fling with Rita Ora.”

The cause was not disclosed, and there is no suggestion that Ms Ora started it.

Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham have lived in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds for around a decade, sharing a mansion in Great Tew near Chipping Norton.

The famous cook was a judge on the show during the BBC years between 2010 and 2016, before it left for Channel 4.

Dame Mary has lived in Henley, in the south of Oxfordshire, with her husband Paul Hunnings, since 2019, having previously lived in London.

Now, in a new interview, the 91-year-old has admitted there is one part of her family story she wishes she could change.

Speaking on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, Dame Mary explained that her biggest regret centres on the relationship she had with her late father.

“I wish I’d spoken more to my father, who was quite brusque,” she told Ms Cotton.

She added: “I should’ve talked and spent more time with him, but when I came to London to work, I’d go home at weekends and see friends.”

Looking back, Dame Mary says she now feels she should have prioritised time with her dad over socialising.

“I should’ve spent more time with him,” she added.

Ms Cotton responds that many people share similar feelings about relatives they have lost, saying: “I think most of us feel like that about a parent or grandparent – wishing we’d asked for more stories – that’s what I’m craving from my nan, all those brilliant life stories.”

Dame Mary also reflected on the guidance she would pass on to her younger self.

“Don’t make rash decisions,” she said, suggesting that when a new offer or venture comes along, it is better to “sleep on it, and do something about it the next morning.”
