Speaker #0
Mama, I love you. Mama, I care.
Speaker #1
You're my friend.
Speaker #0
Hello! Welcome, welcome, welcome to all those mamas out there. Happy 2026. We are here for, I would call it an emergency ep of House of Gossip. This almost wasn't possible, schedule-wise. We were trying to fit it in. It was very difficult, but we're here. We're queer and we're ready to talk about Brandt Beckham, the explosive Instagram stories that hit our Instagram. Clara and I, the second we both saw it, sent each other selfies. I was on the bus. Clara, where were you?
Speaker #1
On the overground, on the train.
Speaker #0
On the overground, both on public transport in London. It was within seconds. I was like, I need... And then Clara was like, oh, um...
Speaker #1
G. Oh.
Speaker #0
Paint us a picture. So we're in a group with the other three sisters that form our five-sister group. And it kicked off in the WhatsApp group.
Speaker #1
The group went nuts.
Speaker #0
I read it once, and then I had to go back and read it again because there's obviously so much in there. We won't go through it because this is obviously not hot, hot, to trot gossip. But we were all comparing it to, I mean, this is obviously satire. the moon landing yeah 1916 is probably the controversial one or the jfk assassination what else was it the light bulb oh yes the invention of the light bulb penicillin the motor car it was so good like all the five sisters were in it being like elasticity iron periodic table osmosis this is our generation's 1960 it is obviously a bit of a joke no one get offended I said to Clara this is like I know I'll know exactly where I was when this happened because I still know where I was when Michael Jackson died I was in Salamanca on the street waiting to go out this is our generation's big momentous event big explosion For those of you that listen to the podcast on the regular, you will know that Clara... Clara, why don't you say up top your thoughts on the Beckhams before all this? Like, Clara's always had her theories... Go on.
Speaker #1
I feel vindicated. I feel extremely smug. I feel... If you go back to any of the older episodes of House of Gossip with Beckham...
Speaker #0
You talk about it quite regularly. It's not like they've trawled back so far.
Speaker #1
Yeah, we talked about it so much that I... was going to do a fruit protest at one of the Soho farmers.
Speaker #0
Oh yeah, sorry, when the Turingers thing came out, that wasn't that long ago.
Speaker #1
No. That's how frequent it is. So yeah, no, I wouldn't be Beckham's biggest fan. I think their whole relationship is a sham. And when this scandal broke, okay, Brooklyn Beckham is giving nepo babies all over the world the worst name and taking them into a whole new dimension. But... I'm just so glad somebody is finally whistleblowing from inside the family and exposing them for being the money hungry, fame hungry, power hungry family. I've always been saying that they are.
Speaker #0
Absolutely. You sent some really good gifts. It was of this one man smoking a cigar being like, I am vindicated.
Speaker #1
Yes. Whereas your thoughts on the Beckhams?
Speaker #0
For me on the Beckhams, do I think they're all that they present? No. I still like them. I like Victoria. I think she's fun. Like I love seeing the behind the scenes stuff of her in both documentaries. Do I think they use their family as a brand? Yes. The XO, Love You at Brooklyn, at Romeo, at Cruise. I'm not deaf to that. So I get that part. And obviously I've heard tons of stories over the years in the workplace and in London in general. about some stuff that goes on. I wouldn't say that on this because I've no way of thinking that they're true. But loads of people have heard some of the stuff about other relationships and blah, blah, blah. Okay, so let's go into... The statement came out. We exploded. Now the dust has settled. We're going to give you some notes that we've heard so far and then our kind of like where we are with our opinion process. Gowser.
Speaker #1
I know the dust has settled now. But his statement, I think, speaks to like, the reason why I think it's taken the chokehold of everyone is because it is a tale as old as time. It's like, not only is it like the people's royal family, but like, you've got an American luring. Brit away from their family, Wallace Simpson, Meghan Markle. You've got wedding drama, you've got in-law drama, you've got a weirdly possessive mother-in-law and you've got a family fallout off the back of a wedding, basically. I was reading Lainey Gossip during the week and she had this amazing point where like the Beckhams are veterans at managing scandal and they've often used it to like strengthen their brand and brand Beckham is... built on togetherness. Like you were just saying, XOXO, love you, miss you. Bran Beckham is just this united front. No matter the scandal, they just band closer together. And this whole, she was saying like, this whole thing of togetherness is their strongest like offensive and defensive ploy. But now somebody is whistleblowing from the inside, inside the house. So it kind of like pokes a hole at their authenticity. It pokes a hole at this togetherness.
Speaker #0
For like 25 years plus.
Speaker #1
A hundred percent. Now, your sister had this great point, Rachel, of like, because that brand is so big and so established, like a royal family, his statement, and we'll get into the peltzes and their family dynamics later on, but he's pierced a hole. Whether he's going to sink the ship, I don't think so. But I do think it's going to be very hard to brand yourself as authentic now with these brand deals. after this has come out.
Speaker #0
And their like social activity, like on Instagram.
Speaker #1
Yes, because then everyone's going to be thinking what he just said.
Speaker #0
What he says, like the love they give is dependent on social media or something like that.
Speaker #1
Yeah. I only want you coming if there's like going to be cameras at the 50th and all that stuff. Because my friend Jess was also saying, she did a fabulous point, that David is still relatively untouchable. Like Victoria, okay, well, the revelation, like Brooklyn really went hard on her in the statements. And like her stories are kind of way juicier. They're weirder with the dance and everything. But she's the one getting all the flack.
Speaker #0
But what would you... I'd say the bounty on that wedding video is a million plus.
Speaker #1
So there was no phones allowed at the wedding.
Speaker #0
I know. So there's only one video.
Speaker #1
They must have it.
Speaker #0
There's one file.
Speaker #1
If the Beckhams, and they won't, come out with a statement. they're going to be like, we're the only people with the receipts. It's a bit like release the files, like, you know.
Speaker #0
Totally. I don't believe they'll say anything still, do you?
Speaker #1
No, I think the most we'll get is like that, what David said last week about that, the comment when he was at Davos being like, kids make mistakes on social media, blah, blah. But I did hear crisis PR managers say about that comment. And they said like, when there's people who are... have no rebuttal. They always blame the internet and they always blame youth. And that's exactly what David did. So that was kind of the closest we'll get to his statement.
Speaker #0
Calling him a child.
Speaker #1
He's 26. He's not old. Well, nepo baby. But while I think all the memes and everything don't come around, they have been my whole personality the last week of Victoria. I still think David comes out like fairly unscathed and it's kind of like about the two of them. And that kind of annoys me.
Speaker #0
Well, yeah, because you don't like David. Your dislike of David is greater than your dislike of Victoria, correct?
Speaker #1
Correct, yes. Correct.
Speaker #0
Affirmative.
Speaker #1
Anyway, getting into... So now that the justice is settling, DJ Fat Tony was on This Morning this morning. We're recording on Friday.
Speaker #0
DJ Fat Tony is so good for gossip. I didn't see the This Morning interview, but I've heard about him.
Speaker #1
He got 250,000 DMs. Not 250, he said 250,000.
Speaker #0
And I would assume he didn't get that much normally.
Speaker #1
Ooh. So he said he DJ'd. No. He said he DJ'd everything. Night before, night of, the brunch, the next day, the day two. And he said the day two was totally awkward. Not that many people showed up because of what happened on the day one with the whole dance scenario.
Speaker #0
You shut up. No, that's not true.
Speaker #1
Because he said the bride and groom were devastated.
Speaker #0
But you cannot pinpoint a floppy day two. on the dance.
Speaker #1
Well, I'm just saying what he says.
Speaker #0
Well, hang on. Let's break it down.
Speaker #1
He goes, okay, so there was no slut dropping. There was no PVC catsuits. There was no Spice Girls actions. The word inappropriate and why I said it was inappropriate as well was because of the timing. So Mark Anthony was performing on stage. Then he called Brooklyn on stage. Everyone is expecting Nicola to go up for the first dance. Then Mark asks for the most beautiful woman in the room to come on stage. Victoria, come to the stage. Brooklyn's Devo. Nicholas storms out crying and then Mark starts going, put your hands on your mother's hips. This is what DJ Fatani said, OK? And then there was and it was kind of like this Latin thing. And he said that the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the in the room. And Brooklyn was stuck on stage. It wasn't like, you know, sometimes first dance happened just on the dance floor.
Speaker #0
Put his hands on her hips from behind.
Speaker #1
And there was a Latin song playing. And obviously it's going to be a Latin song because it's Mark Anthony.
Speaker #0
Mark Anthony is. so rogue.
Speaker #1
Wait, also, why?
Speaker #0
Has he said anything?
Speaker #1
No, but also Victoria's getting all the funny memes, but he's the one who put her in that position, like, put your hands on her hips. That's not Victoria's fault.
Speaker #0
Also, you know, Emma Bunton put up a story being like, we love you, Victoria, but then she deleted it.
Speaker #1
Oh! I thought it was a good, like, Spice Girls taking a picture.
Speaker #0
I thought that was brilliant. Maybe she didn't delete it. I think I went on to see it and it was gone and maybe it was a story but I didn't read it
Speaker #1
I thought that was very nice but what I don't understand about the Fat Tony thing right sorry could I just ask you is he an actual DJ called Fat Tony yeah Roger okay sorry he's I think he's been through quite a lot in his life which is he looks like he has but he's like he's a real like the insider's insider kind of DJ guy okay he's like a real a beef ahead but what I want to know is so the 500 people went to this wedding No one had their phones. They obviously all had to sign NDAs. So why is Fat Tony appearing on this morning? Because he's clearly probably breaking the Beckhams trust and an NDA, which leads me to believe, tinfoil hat, that the Beckhams have allowed him to go on this morning. Like, it's a huge show to go on. It's headlines everywhere today.
Speaker #0
Wait, what do you mean, the Beckhams?
Speaker #1
Did the Beckhams okay him to go on to the show?
Speaker #0
But that's not them that can void it, like.
Speaker #1
What do you mean?
Speaker #0
As in like, we don't know who the, is it an executor? Who did the contract?
Speaker #1
Was it the Peltzes or the? Yeah,
Speaker #0
we don't know who did that.
Speaker #1
Good one. I think I see it was Victoria's friends.
Speaker #0
Also, when was this wedding? Like three or four years ago?
Speaker #1
2022.
Speaker #0
Yeah. So like, is there a statute of limitations? Because there is a statute of limitations on lots of stuff.
Speaker #1
Interesting.
Speaker #0
Like loads of stuff in. the Diddy case, there was tons of people who were like, I signed you into the case.
Speaker #1
Yes, yes, yes, yes. So. And like, I don't know, people keep asking like, Team Beckham, sorry, Team Victoria, Team Brooklyn. And it's just a little bit like, okay, I know we've obviously like spoken in quite hilarious ways about Brooklyn and stuff. But it is like, that little boy, his birth was monetized by OK Magazine, as we've spoken about before. It's like, what kind of life are you growing up in?
Speaker #0
Yeah, correct. You know. But he's also, churned himself back into it every single time he has a new career ever yeah with every he he has celebrity people that come on because of his network he gets all these internships he got in they got into burberry camp like all these kind of things like if he was like no and he had like a normal job or a job that was like behind the scenes you'd be like okay but he's he wants all was cake.
Speaker #1
Yeah. He wants privacy. but then releases a huge statement.
Speaker #0
All we want is privacy but then people are like you're one Nicholas wanting to be famous for the last 10 years.
Speaker #1
But it's a bit like that's why it's so similar to Harry and Meghan because it's like leave us alone.
Speaker #0
It reeks though of it's not his full train of thought in that.
Speaker #1
I'd say he got some help.
Speaker #0
Like he didn't get there on his own. And like the fact he brought up the dog shelter thing. What was the point of that?
Speaker #1
Yeah. And I think if you didn't like Victoria or you really wanted to hurt her personal or public brand, saying that this woman doesn't like dogs is like pretty tough.
Speaker #0
But as in, what was the whole point? Because that dog thing doesn't have anything to do with him and his mum. It's his wife. Do you know what I mean? Like as in that, if he's talking about their relationship, he's bringing in something from the wife who, can I just point out, she apparently did this with Gigi Hadid's brother Anwar. She went out with him when he was 17 and she was like 22. Also, she's a good bit older than Brooklyn. I think she's like four or five years older than him. And he's like 26 and she's 31. Five years. But that's a lot at that age. And in reverse. And she apparently did this with Anwar Hadid. And Yolanda said it.
Speaker #1
Didn't Yolanda like warn Victoria?
Speaker #0
He cut his family off when they were going out. So this isn't one time incident. Like she's done this before.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Well, yeah, she's done it before. Like, I guess if he didn't bring in certain aspects, like my wife the whole time, if he kept it between him and his mum or his parents, it would be a bit easier to just be like, I feel like I've been a product my whole life.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
But then he's bringing his wife into it. And regardless, if your wife has a problem with your parents and you still are talking to your parents. you can still be with your wife it's not one or the other so him bringing in the wife or vice versa he just like I feel like he didn't think it through that's a good point I never really thought about that because like at the end of the day it's really sad like he's lost his family because
Speaker #1
Fat Tony was also saying like this was Brooklyn's way to get Tony I was saying that like he couldn't take it anymore and like this is his closure which made me think like because I originally thought that like Victorian David has okayed Fat Tony to go on this morning. But now that feels like he's a mouthpiece for the Peltz Beckhams.
Speaker #0
I think he just is chatting.
Speaker #1
He's just gossing on the couch with Alison and Dermot.
Speaker #0
He's saying what everyone wants. Like all we want to know is what happened at that wedding. But then loads of stuff is coming up now on social where there's like awkward interactions where... I know. Was it at Victoria's premiere? One of the Netflix ones. And Brooklyn's pulling her in and she's so uncomfortable. And then there's another one where she like is in the middle.
Speaker #1
Cold shoulder.
Speaker #0
She's like this talking to, I think, Harper. And Brooklyn's behind her and Victoria's behind her. And they're kind of talking, but it's really awkward.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
But Nicola's not involved. Like, I think the real crux of the issue here is that the mum, so Victoria and extension David. And Nicola, don't.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
See eye to eye and don't work. And feels like Brooklyn's kind of caught a bit in the crossfire.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
And then he's kind of taken aside.
Speaker #1
Because he wants to be taken seriously. He's sick of everyone slagging him and, you know, having no identity as this nepo baby with a thousand careers. You know, he's trying to stand for something.
Speaker #0
But then stop using your fame for all your companies.
Speaker #1
I know.
Speaker #0
Stop using the chefs that you know to come on and... do collaborations with. Yeah. If that's how you feel. And I get the whole thing of like, they sell your baby pictures and that would be something you bring to therapy. I get it. Like he almost was kidnapped before and all that kind of stuff. And it's no secret, their whole family is a brand and it's a business. My feelings now are just like, he's gone out on a limb now that he can't really take back. And I think he's in the middle of two super controlling women.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Trying to stand up for himself.
Speaker #0
And then he brought in like, I don't wake up feeling anxious anymore and all that kind of stuff. And that's awful if that's true.
Speaker #1
He doesn't want to reconcile.
Speaker #0
And then the stuff where he said we were waiting in a hotel and my dad wouldn't hang. And it's like the dad, I'm assuming they were like, you can come, but like, don't bring Nicola.
Speaker #1
But like also as a parent, that's an awful position to be putting your child into. Like we don't acknowledge. your wife he's definitely speaking from like a place of emotion he's that's why you know sometimes some of the facts you know around the dress and everything there's bits where it's just like you're emotionally reacting not you're not really responding or something or it it just feels a bit reactive now he definitely didn't talk to a therapist before he posted this no or a crisis pr manager who they fired the day before did this statement went out did so i just saw somewhere and they're like
Speaker #0
Like, is it a coincidence he posted this on the day Valentino died?
Speaker #1
So he didn't say anything. I know,
Speaker #0
they're like, who killed Valentino? The peltzers killed Valentino. That was another thing, the dress inconsistencies.
Speaker #1
Now, Jumoa had some interesting insights on the dress. So apparently, okay, obviously it's a billionaire wedding. It was three days. She's going to have more than one dress. So apparently she was in talks with Valentino. Then... Her and Victoria were working on a dress. They couldn't agree the style. Obviously, maybe that's the the inception point of their feud. And then she went back to Valentino. So it's like both are kind of true. So I don't know.
Speaker #0
I listened to, I can't remember what it's called. And they said their hypothesis is that there was always going to be more than one dress. And the Valentino one was being made. The Victoria one was being made. and what they heard something, I can't remember how they came to this, but they basically said that they think Victoria heard her one wasn't going to be the prime spot. And then was like, no. Because, you know, the main dress gets the attention. The dancing dress rarely gets the attention. Or the big two, whatever. And that was their hypothesis, which kind of makes sense.
Speaker #1
That tracks. And it's a little bit like, you know, the politics of your mother in law making your dress. And then you choosing to make it your second dress. Like that's, it's one of the, I heard a great quote as we were getting married. You'll win the battle, but you'll lose the war. And I think that that's a good, in life anyway. But, you know, it's like that thing of, okay, you win because you get the Valentino dress you want. But you're kind of losing the war because you've now fallen out with like family and stuff. Like sometimes it's a bit like. Oh,
Speaker #0
totally. Like you've got, you've done something on the day and it's whatever. But then you've set it up for like. a future of disagreements and issues.
Speaker #1
Hmm. Which she clearly doesn't care about. Care. Like, it doesn't seem like Nicholas is the nicest person.
Speaker #0
No,
Speaker #1
like a lot of people are like,
Speaker #0
also, I did Google her apparently pushing her nanny downstairs. Apparently it's not. I heard it somewhere there. And supposedly she pushed her nanny down the stairs. And I was like, she pushed her nanny down the stairs. I Googled it. Apparently it's unfounded, but kind of tracks. And the other thing was I was listening to, I think it was the same podcast. That was a very good podcast. I need to find it. And I was listening to it. And they also said one of the girls, the host, was doing an interview across the road from the Holland Park Beckhams house. When this was all going down like the following evening. So maybe the Tuesday evening. And the house was in darkness. So they were definitely in the Cotswolds.
Speaker #1
Fled. Fled the Cotswolds.
Speaker #0
Well, yeah.
Speaker #1
Which you would. Because like I'd say, like the crisis PR meetings have just been nonstop.
Speaker #0
Can you imagine the pacing?
Speaker #1
I think they haven't slept. It's Will Smith slapping someone at the Oscars.
Speaker #0
It actually is like that.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
You're so right.
Speaker #1
Just going back to the one that the crisis PR person that Nicola and Brooklyn hired. They hired him seven months ago to deal with the feud. And we were talking about it like April kind of summertime last year. about this feud. So he was hired, Matthew Hilsig was hired to manage the fallout. He's meant to be this like real battle axe and he's worked for Harvey Weinstein, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt.
Speaker #0
Oh, say no more ladies.
Speaker #1
Exactly. And he was hired by Nelson Peltz, her dad, to shift the public sympathy away from the Beckons and protect the Peltz's family reputation. But the press is kind of, I suppose, because it's like they're so ingrained in like British society. that the PR spin was always falling on the Beckham side. So then the Daily Mail now was reporting that Mr. Nelson Peltz ended the partnership due to his daughter's ongoing negative press with both Nicola and Brooklyn also claiming that they let him go. But it was also shared that Hiltig walked away having grown tired of Nicola using social media to antagonise her in-laws. And a quote from a source, so who knows. Nicola had become quite forthright, if not a little bit obsessed with getting back at David and Victoria.
Speaker #0
We have to remember, like, she has a very bad reputation.
Speaker #1
I haven't heard one person say one nice thing.
Speaker #0
No, you know that hairdresser who said she's awful. This was before everything.
Speaker #1
And the Hadid sister, Alana. But like, Apple doesn't fall far. Nelson Peltz.
Speaker #0
Nelson Peltz is a very scary name, isn't it? Scary name,
Speaker #1
scary man.
Speaker #0
He's the one who filed the lawsuits against the party planners and stuff. Sorry. Yeah, we need to go back to that. Like they fired like three different sets of party planners and they're like suing a few of them. Yeah, like we have to look back. Yeah, we have to do that too.
Speaker #1
Yeah. And it's a little bit like I'm definitely team no one because they're both awful sides. I'm just glad that someone is validating my Beckham theories. But like Nelson Peltz, extremely MAGA. He made all his money off Snapple. He tried to do a hostile takeover at Disney because he thought they were too woke. He held a Trump fundraiser and raised $10 million for him in 2020. But then after the January 6th thing, he renounced Trump, but then came out and claimed that he set up Elon Musk and Trump, which is one of the main reasons Trump won the election. But then it seems like they have a funny relationship because then Trump was invited to the engagement party, but wasn't invited to the wedding. So they must have fallen out. So in fairness to the Beckhams...
Speaker #0
Was he invited to the hen?
Speaker #1
Probably not.
Speaker #0
It was really super- Was he invited to the stag?
Speaker #1
Oh God, imagine. And they had three engagement parties.
Speaker #0
And now two weddings in the space of two years. Or three years. Because he says he wanted happy memories.
Speaker #1
But then from the Beckhams' point of view, would they want their son to marry into that? So that's why I think they had the... the engagement party in London because they didn't want all their guests having to go to the same engagement party as Trump. So who knows? But anyway, it's just, they seem like a highly toxic, like, succession style family.
Speaker #0
Yeah, they do. They seem kind of mob-esque.
Speaker #1
And what I think as well, it's kind of like two big, like, they're two families. Like, they're big in their own right, but like, the Peltses are old money. Beckhams are kind of new money. But there's also, like, I've spoken about it loads, but like, David is the stingiest bastard going. He always is talking about money. He does everything for money. Like, look at that Qatar thing he did during the World Cup. Like like grabbing money all the time. Why he wanted that knighthood to add a fucking three more zeros onto all his paychecks. He is so money hungry. But the peltzes make them look poor and like pauperish. And they don't like being made feel that way.
Speaker #0
It's almost like the power or the fame doesn't translate overseas.
Speaker #1
No.
Speaker #0
Like Beckhams are huge here, do you know? And they're not really like, they kind of tried to break America, but they didn't really break America. And no one knows peltzes. And they're nothing here. I'm sorry, Victoria's single is now number one. Like the public have spoken, ladies.
Speaker #1
Such an innocent girl. It's so perfect. It's so perfect. And she's the first Spice. It's her first number one single. She never got a number one single.
Speaker #0
I mean, is that not...
Speaker #1
I think she's the first Spice Girls to get a number one single. And it's for that reason. Is that just the best British humour?
Speaker #0
Yeah, I really like the way they swing things around. I'm leaving it with I'm on no one's side.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
But you're not on the Beckham side.
Speaker #1
Oh, absolutely not. Because my closing remark is this. I challenge you as you're listening to this, and I've done it today, Friday.
Speaker #0
I challenge you to a duel.
Speaker #1
You go on to David, Victoria, Cruz, Romeo. All four of their pages in the stories as of today or their latest post. they're selling something. So like Victoria is selling the makeup. David is selling Adidas. Cruise is selling his tour. And Victoria is selling that tour for him or like reposting her stories. And Romeo is selling some hipster fashion brand. They are using this because they know so many eyeballs are going on their pages to see if these family are responding. And what are they doing? They're going, oh, your little TikTok attention span. Here's show product, product, products.
Speaker #0
No, I disagree with you. I disagree with you.
Speaker #1
It is. It's such a cash grab. They're using this crisis to cash grab.
Speaker #0
But they normally have a split between their candid posts and the sales. And now because he's gone.
Speaker #1
Nuclear.
Speaker #0
Your love is decided by when I post on Instagram. I'd actually say they feel awkward about posting something in their kitchen. And so they're going, we're going to post the formal. the formal things that they were going to post anyway and then none of the candid bit because I'd say they actually feel awkward about it now they're probably doing because of also the comments because people were just going to but I think it's interesting it's all like one day ago an
Speaker #1
hour ago these posts of them pushing their own products because they know the eyeballs on their pages and then it's like let's as a marketeer a social schedule is a social schedule But their crisis PR are like, right, let's distract people with your eyeliner. Everybody always talks about the Victoria Beckham eyeliner.
Speaker #0
Oh, yeah. It's like one sells every 30 seconds or something.
Speaker #1
What was your latest post?
Speaker #0
Yeah, I want to try some of the bits. Completely off topic.
Speaker #1
Yes, meant to be amazing. But I just think they're using this as an opportunity to try sell and move product. And I think that just speaks. For me, it brings it full circle because he's calling them out for Bran Beckham. During this crisis, all they're doing is posting about Bran Beckham and all the products there.
Speaker #0
You're sitting at your desk, trotters up in your business suit with a cigar. I understand. Right? I get it. And you know what, guys? They're well done.
Speaker #1

Speaker #0
Mama, I love you. Mama, I care.
Speaker #1
You're my friend.
Speaker #0
Hello! Welcome, welcome, welcome to all those mamas out there. Happy 2026. We are here for, I would call it an emergency ep of House of Gossip. This almost wasn't possible, schedule-wise. We were trying to fit it in. It was very difficult, but we're here. We're queer and we're ready to talk about Brandt Beckham, the explosive Instagram stories that hit our Instagram. Clara and I, the second we both saw it, sent each other selfies. I was on the bus. Clara, where were you?
Speaker #1
On the overground, on the train.
Speaker #0
On the overground, both on public transport in London. It was within seconds. I was like, I need... And then Clara was like, oh, um...
Speaker #1
G. Oh.
Speaker #0
Paint us a picture. So we're in a group with the other three sisters that form our five-sister group. And it kicked off in the WhatsApp group.
Speaker #1
The group went nuts.
Speaker #0
I read it once, and then I had to go back and read it again because there's obviously so much in there. We won't go through it because this is obviously not hot, hot, to trot gossip. But we were all comparing it to, I mean, this is obviously satire. the moon landing yeah 1916 is probably the controversial one or the jfk assassination what else was it the light bulb oh yes the invention of the light bulb penicillin the motor car it was so good like all the five sisters were in it being like elasticity iron periodic table osmosis this is our generation's 1960 it is obviously a bit of a joke no one get offended I said to Clara this is like I know I'll know exactly where I was when this happened because I still know where I was when Michael Jackson died I was in Salamanca on the street waiting to go out this is our generation's big momentous event big explosion For those of you that listen to the podcast on the regular, you will know that Clara... Clara, why don't you say up top your thoughts on the Beckhams before all this? Like, Clara's always had her theories... Go on.
Speaker #1
I feel vindicated. I feel extremely smug. I feel... If you go back to any of the older episodes of House of Gossip with Beckham...
Speaker #0
You talk about it quite regularly. It's not like they've trawled back so far.
Speaker #1
Yeah, we talked about it so much that I... was going to do a fruit protest at one of the Soho farmers.
Speaker #0
Oh yeah, sorry, when the Turingers thing came out, that wasn't that long ago.
Speaker #1
No. That's how frequent it is. So yeah, no, I wouldn't be Beckham's biggest fan. I think their whole relationship is a sham. And when this scandal broke, okay, Brooklyn Beckham is giving nepo babies all over the world the worst name and taking them into a whole new dimension. But... I'm just so glad somebody is finally whistleblowing from inside the family and exposing them for being the money hungry, fame hungry, power hungry family. I've always been saying that they are.
Speaker #0
Absolutely. You sent some really good gifts. It was of this one man smoking a cigar being like, I am vindicated.
Speaker #1
Yes. Whereas your thoughts on the Beckhams?
Speaker #0
For me on the Beckhams, do I think they're all that they present? No. I still like them. I like Victoria. I think she's fun. Like I love seeing the behind the scenes stuff of her in both documentaries. Do I think they use their family as a brand? Yes. The XO, Love You at Brooklyn, at Romeo, at Cruise. I'm not deaf to that. So I get that part. And obviously I've heard tons of stories over the years in the workplace and in London in general. about some stuff that goes on. I wouldn't say that on this because I've no way of thinking that they're true. But loads of people have heard some of the stuff about other relationships and blah, blah, blah. Okay, so let's go into... The statement came out. We exploded. Now the dust has settled. We're going to give you some notes that we've heard so far and then our kind of like where we are with our opinion process. Gowser.
Speaker #1
I know the dust has settled now. But his statement, I think, speaks to like, the reason why I think it's taken the chokehold of everyone is because it is a tale as old as time. It's like, not only is it like the people's royal family, but like, you've got an American luring. Brit away from their family, Wallace Simpson, Meghan Markle. You've got wedding drama, you've got in-law drama, you've got a weirdly possessive mother-in-law and you've got a family fallout off the back of a wedding, basically. I was reading Lainey Gossip during the week and she had this amazing point where like the Beckhams are veterans at managing scandal and they've often used it to like strengthen their brand and brand Beckham is... built on togetherness. Like you were just saying, XOXO, love you, miss you. Bran Beckham is just this united front. No matter the scandal, they just band closer together. And this whole, she was saying like, this whole thing of togetherness is their strongest like offensive and defensive ploy. But now somebody is whistleblowing from the inside, inside the house. So it kind of like pokes a hole at their authenticity. It pokes a hole at this togetherness.
Speaker #0
For like 25 years plus.
Speaker #1
A hundred percent. Now, your sister had this great point, Rachel, of like, because that brand is so big and so established, like a royal family, his statement, and we'll get into the peltzes and their family dynamics later on, but he's pierced a hole. Whether he's going to sink the ship, I don't think so. But I do think it's going to be very hard to brand yourself as authentic now with these brand deals. after this has come out.
Speaker #0
And their like social activity, like on Instagram.
Speaker #1
Yes, because then everyone's going to be thinking what he just said.
Speaker #0
What he says, like the love they give is dependent on social media or something like that.
Speaker #1
Yeah. I only want you coming if there's like going to be cameras at the 50th and all that stuff. Because my friend Jess was also saying, she did a fabulous point, that David is still relatively untouchable. Like Victoria, okay, well, the revelation, like Brooklyn really went hard on her in the statements. And like her stories are kind of way juicier. They're weirder with the dance and everything. But she's the one getting all the flack.
Speaker #0
But what would you... I'd say the bounty on that wedding video is a million plus.
Speaker #1
So there was no phones allowed at the wedding.
Speaker #0
I know. So there's only one video.
Speaker #1
They must have it.
Speaker #0
There's one file.
Speaker #1
If the Beckhams, and they won't, come out with a statement. they're going to be like, we're the only people with the receipts. It's a bit like release the files, like, you know.
Speaker #0
Totally. I don't believe they'll say anything still, do you?
Speaker #1
No, I think the most we'll get is like that, what David said last week about that, the comment when he was at Davos being like, kids make mistakes on social media, blah, blah. But I did hear crisis PR managers say about that comment. And they said like, when there's people who are... have no rebuttal. They always blame the internet and they always blame youth. And that's exactly what David did. So that was kind of the closest we'll get to his statement.
Speaker #0
Calling him a child.
Speaker #1
He's 26. He's not old. Well, nepo baby. But while I think all the memes and everything don't come around, they have been my whole personality the last week of Victoria. I still think David comes out like fairly unscathed and it's kind of like about the two of them. And that kind of annoys me.
Speaker #0
Well, yeah, because you don't like David. Your dislike of David is greater than your dislike of Victoria, correct?
Speaker #1
Correct, yes. Correct.
Speaker #0
Affirmative.
Speaker #1
Anyway, getting into... So now that the justice is settling, DJ Fat Tony was on This Morning this morning. We're recording on Friday.
Speaker #0
DJ Fat Tony is so good for gossip. I didn't see the This Morning interview, but I've heard about him.
Speaker #1
He got 250,000 DMs. Not 250, he said 250,000.
Speaker #0
And I would assume he didn't get that much normally.
Speaker #1
Ooh. So he said he DJ'd. No. He said he DJ'd everything. Night before, night of, the brunch, the next day, the day two. And he said the day two was totally awkward. Not that many people showed up because of what happened on the day one with the whole dance scenario.
Speaker #0
You shut up. No, that's not true.
Speaker #1
Because he said the bride and groom were devastated.
Speaker #0
But you cannot pinpoint a floppy day two. on the dance.
Speaker #1
Well, I'm just saying what he says.
Speaker #0
Well, hang on. Let's break it down.
Speaker #1
He goes, okay, so there was no slut dropping. There was no PVC catsuits. There was no Spice Girls actions. The word inappropriate and why I said it was inappropriate as well was because of the timing. So Mark Anthony was performing on stage. Then he called Brooklyn on stage. Everyone is expecting Nicola to go up for the first dance. Then Mark asks for the most beautiful woman in the room to come on stage. Victoria, come to the stage. Brooklyn's Devo. Nicholas storms out crying and then Mark starts going, put your hands on your mother's hips. This is what DJ Fatani said, OK? And then there was and it was kind of like this Latin thing. And he said that the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the in the room. And Brooklyn was stuck on stage. It wasn't like, you know, sometimes first dance happened just on the dance floor.
Speaker #0
Put his hands on her hips from behind.
Speaker #1
And there was a Latin song playing. And obviously it's going to be a Latin song because it's Mark Anthony.
Speaker #0
Mark Anthony is. so rogue.
Speaker #1
Wait, also, why?
Speaker #0
Has he said anything?
Speaker #1
No, but also Victoria's getting all the funny memes, but he's the one who put her in that position, like, put your hands on her hips. That's not Victoria's fault.
Speaker #0
Also, you know, Emma Bunton put up a story being like, we love you, Victoria, but then she deleted it.
Speaker #1
Oh! I thought it was a good, like, Spice Girls taking a picture.
Speaker #0
I thought that was brilliant. Maybe she didn't delete it. I think I went on to see it and it was gone and maybe it was a story but I didn't read it
Speaker #1
I thought that was very nice but what I don't understand about the Fat Tony thing right sorry could I just ask you is he an actual DJ called Fat Tony yeah Roger okay sorry he's I think he's been through quite a lot in his life which is he looks like he has but he's like he's a real like the insider's insider kind of DJ guy okay he's like a real a beef ahead but what I want to know is so the 500 people went to this wedding No one had their phones. They obviously all had to sign NDAs. So why is Fat Tony appearing on this morning? Because he's clearly probably breaking the Beckhams trust and an NDA, which leads me to believe, tinfoil hat, that the Beckhams have allowed him to go on this morning. Like, it's a huge show to go on. It's headlines everywhere today.
Speaker #0
Wait, what do you mean, the Beckhams?
Speaker #1
Did the Beckhams okay him to go on to the show?
Speaker #0
But that's not them that can void it, like.
Speaker #1
What do you mean?
Speaker #0
As in like, we don't know who the, is it an executor? Who did the contract?
Speaker #1
Was it the Peltzes or the? Yeah,
Speaker #0
we don't know who did that.
Speaker #1
Good one. I think I see it was Victoria's friends.
Speaker #0
Also, when was this wedding? Like three or four years ago?
Speaker #1
2022.
Speaker #0
Yeah. So like, is there a statute of limitations? Because there is a statute of limitations on lots of stuff.
Speaker #1
Interesting.
Speaker #0
Like loads of stuff in. the Diddy case, there was tons of people who were like, I signed you into the case.
Speaker #1
Yes, yes, yes, yes. So. And like, I don't know, people keep asking like, Team Beckham, sorry, Team Victoria, Team Brooklyn. And it's just a little bit like, okay, I know we've obviously like spoken in quite hilarious ways about Brooklyn and stuff. But it is like, that little boy, his birth was monetized by OK Magazine, as we've spoken about before. It's like, what kind of life are you growing up in?
Speaker #0
Yeah, correct. You know. But he's also, churned himself back into it every single time he has a new career ever yeah with every he he has celebrity people that come on because of his network he gets all these internships he got in they got into burberry camp like all these kind of things like if he was like no and he had like a normal job or a job that was like behind the scenes you'd be like okay but he's he wants all was cake.
Speaker #1
Yeah. He wants privacy. but then releases a huge statement.
Speaker #0
All we want is privacy but then people are like you're one Nicholas wanting to be famous for the last 10 years.
Speaker #1
But it's a bit like that's why it's so similar to Harry and Meghan because it's like leave us alone.
Speaker #0
It reeks though of it's not his full train of thought in that.
Speaker #1
I'd say he got some help.
Speaker #0
Like he didn't get there on his own. And like the fact he brought up the dog shelter thing. What was the point of that?
Speaker #1
Yeah. And I think if you didn't like Victoria or you really wanted to hurt her personal or public brand, saying that this woman doesn't like dogs is like pretty tough.
Speaker #0
But as in, what was the whole point? Because that dog thing doesn't have anything to do with him and his mum. It's his wife. Do you know what I mean? Like as in that, if he's talking about their relationship, he's bringing in something from the wife who, can I just point out, she apparently did this with Gigi Hadid's brother Anwar. She went out with him when he was 17 and she was like 22. Also, she's a good bit older than Brooklyn. I think she's like four or five years older than him. And he's like 26 and she's 31. Five years. But that's a lot at that age. And in reverse. And she apparently did this with Anwar Hadid. And Yolanda said it.
Speaker #1
Didn't Yolanda like warn Victoria?
Speaker #0
He cut his family off when they were going out. So this isn't one time incident. Like she's done this before.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Well, yeah, she's done it before. Like, I guess if he didn't bring in certain aspects, like my wife the whole time, if he kept it between him and his mum or his parents, it would be a bit easier to just be like, I feel like I've been a product my whole life.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
But then he's bringing his wife into it. And regardless, if your wife has a problem with your parents and you still are talking to your parents. you can still be with your wife it's not one or the other so him bringing in the wife or vice versa he just like I feel like he didn't think it through that's a good point I never really thought about that because like at the end of the day it's really sad like he's lost his family because
Speaker #1
Fat Tony was also saying like this was Brooklyn's way to get Tony I was saying that like he couldn't take it anymore and like this is his closure which made me think like because I originally thought that like Victorian David has okayed Fat Tony to go on this morning. But now that feels like he's a mouthpiece for the Peltz Beckhams.
Speaker #0
I think he just is chatting.
Speaker #1
He's just gossing on the couch with Alison and Dermot.
Speaker #0
He's saying what everyone wants. Like all we want to know is what happened at that wedding. But then loads of stuff is coming up now on social where there's like awkward interactions where... I know. Was it at Victoria's premiere? One of the Netflix ones. And Brooklyn's pulling her in and she's so uncomfortable. And then there's another one where she like is in the middle.
Speaker #1
Cold shoulder.
Speaker #0
She's like this talking to, I think, Harper. And Brooklyn's behind her and Victoria's behind her. And they're kind of talking, but it's really awkward.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
But Nicola's not involved. Like, I think the real crux of the issue here is that the mum, so Victoria and extension David. And Nicola, don't.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
See eye to eye and don't work. And feels like Brooklyn's kind of caught a bit in the crossfire.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
And then he's kind of taken aside.
Speaker #1
Because he wants to be taken seriously. He's sick of everyone slagging him and, you know, having no identity as this nepo baby with a thousand careers. You know, he's trying to stand for something.
Speaker #0
But then stop using your fame for all your companies.
Speaker #1
I know.
Speaker #0
Stop using the chefs that you know to come on and... do collaborations with. Yeah. If that's how you feel. And I get the whole thing of like, they sell your baby pictures and that would be something you bring to therapy. I get it. Like he almost was kidnapped before and all that kind of stuff. And it's no secret, their whole family is a brand and it's a business. My feelings now are just like, he's gone out on a limb now that he can't really take back. And I think he's in the middle of two super controlling women.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Trying to stand up for himself.
Speaker #0
And then he brought in like, I don't wake up feeling anxious anymore and all that kind of stuff. And that's awful if that's true.
Speaker #1
He doesn't want to reconcile.
Speaker #0
And then the stuff where he said we were waiting in a hotel and my dad wouldn't hang. And it's like the dad, I'm assuming they were like, you can come, but like, don't bring Nicola.
Speaker #1
But like also as a parent, that's an awful position to be putting your child into. Like we don't acknowledge. your wife he's definitely speaking from like a place of emotion he's that's why you know sometimes some of the facts you know around the dress and everything there's bits where it's just like you're emotionally reacting not you're not really responding or something or it it just feels a bit reactive now he definitely didn't talk to a therapist before he posted this no or a crisis pr manager who they fired the day before did this statement went out did so i just saw somewhere and they're like
Speaker #0
Like, is it a coincidence he posted this on the day Valentino died?
Speaker #1
So he didn't say anything. I know,
Speaker #0
they're like, who killed Valentino? The peltzers killed Valentino. That was another thing, the dress inconsistencies.
Speaker #1
Now, Jumoa had some interesting insights on the dress. So apparently, okay, obviously it's a billionaire wedding. It was three days. She's going to have more than one dress. So apparently she was in talks with Valentino. Then... Her and Victoria were working on a dress. They couldn't agree the style. Obviously, maybe that's the the inception point of their feud. And then she went back to Valentino. So it's like both are kind of true. So I don't know.
Speaker #0
I listened to, I can't remember what it's called. And they said their hypothesis is that there was always going to be more than one dress. And the Valentino one was being made. The Victoria one was being made. and what they heard something, I can't remember how they came to this, but they basically said that they think Victoria heard her one wasn't going to be the prime spot. And then was like, no. Because, you know, the main dress gets the attention. The dancing dress rarely gets the attention. Or the big two, whatever. And that was their hypothesis, which kind of makes sense.
Speaker #1
That tracks. And it's a little bit like, you know, the politics of your mother in law making your dress. And then you choosing to make it your second dress. Like that's, it's one of the, I heard a great quote as we were getting married. You'll win the battle, but you'll lose the war. And I think that that's a good, in life anyway. But, you know, it's like that thing of, okay, you win because you get the Valentino dress you want. But you're kind of losing the war because you've now fallen out with like family and stuff. Like sometimes it's a bit like. Oh,
Speaker #0
totally. Like you've got, you've done something on the day and it's whatever. But then you've set it up for like. a future of disagreements and issues.
Speaker #1
Hmm. Which she clearly doesn't care about. Care. Like, it doesn't seem like Nicholas is the nicest person.
Speaker #0
No,
Speaker #1
like a lot of people are like,
Speaker #0
also, I did Google her apparently pushing her nanny downstairs. Apparently it's not. I heard it somewhere there. And supposedly she pushed her nanny down the stairs. And I was like, she pushed her nanny down the stairs. I Googled it. Apparently it's unfounded, but kind of tracks. And the other thing was I was listening to, I think it was the same podcast. That was a very good podcast. I need to find it. And I was listening to it. And they also said one of the girls, the host, was doing an interview across the road from the Holland Park Beckhams house. When this was all going down like the following evening. So maybe the Tuesday evening. And the house was in darkness. So they were definitely in the Cotswolds.
Speaker #1
Fled. Fled the Cotswolds.
Speaker #0
Well, yeah.
Speaker #1
Which you would. Because like I'd say, like the crisis PR meetings have just been nonstop.
Speaker #0
Can you imagine the pacing?
Speaker #1
I think they haven't slept. It's Will Smith slapping someone at the Oscars.
Speaker #0
It actually is like that.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
You're so right.
Speaker #1
Just going back to the one that the crisis PR person that Nicola and Brooklyn hired. They hired him seven months ago to deal with the feud. And we were talking about it like April kind of summertime last year. about this feud. So he was hired, Matthew Hilsig was hired to manage the fallout. He's meant to be this like real battle axe and he's worked for Harvey Weinstein, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt.
Speaker #0
Oh, say no more ladies.
Speaker #1
Exactly. And he was hired by Nelson Peltz, her dad, to shift the public sympathy away from the Beckons and protect the Peltz's family reputation. But the press is kind of, I suppose, because it's like they're so ingrained in like British society. that the PR spin was always falling on the Beckham side. So then the Daily Mail now was reporting that Mr. Nelson Peltz ended the partnership due to his daughter's ongoing negative press with both Nicola and Brooklyn also claiming that they let him go. But it was also shared that Hiltig walked away having grown tired of Nicola using social media to antagonise her in-laws. And a quote from a source, so who knows. Nicola had become quite forthright, if not a little bit obsessed with getting back at David and Victoria.
Speaker #0
We have to remember, like, she has a very bad reputation.
Speaker #1
I haven't heard one person say one nice thing.
Speaker #0
No, you know that hairdresser who said she's awful. This was before everything.
Speaker #1
And the Hadid sister, Alana. But like, Apple doesn't fall far. Nelson Peltz.
Speaker #0
Nelson Peltz is a very scary name, isn't it? Scary name,
Speaker #1
scary man.
Speaker #0
He's the one who filed the lawsuits against the party planners and stuff. Sorry. Yeah, we need to go back to that. Like they fired like three different sets of party planners and they're like suing a few of them. Yeah, like we have to look back. Yeah, we have to do that too.
Speaker #1
Yeah. And it's a little bit like I'm definitely team no one because they're both awful sides. I'm just glad that someone is validating my Beckham theories. But like Nelson Peltz, extremely MAGA. He made all his money off Snapple. He tried to do a hostile takeover at Disney because he thought they were too woke. He held a Trump fundraiser and raised $10 million for him in 2020. But then after the January 6th thing, he renounced Trump, but then came out and claimed that he set up Elon Musk and Trump, which is one of the main reasons Trump won the election. But then it seems like they have a funny relationship because then Trump was invited to the engagement party, but wasn't invited to the wedding. So they must have fallen out. So in fairness to the Beckhams...
Speaker #0
Was he invited to the hen?
Speaker #1
Probably not.
Speaker #0
It was really super- Was he invited to the stag?
Speaker #1
Oh God, imagine. And they had three engagement parties.
Speaker #0
And now two weddings in the space of two years. Or three years. Because he says he wanted happy memories.
Speaker #1
But then from the Beckhams' point of view, would they want their son to marry into that? So that's why I think they had the... the engagement party in London because they didn't want all their guests having to go to the same engagement party as Trump. So who knows? But anyway, it's just, they seem like a highly toxic, like, succession style family.
Speaker #0
Yeah, they do. They seem kind of mob-esque.
Speaker #1
And what I think as well, it's kind of like two big, like, they're two families. Like, they're big in their own right, but like, the Peltses are old money. Beckhams are kind of new money. But there's also, like, I've spoken about it loads, but like, David is the stingiest bastard going. He always is talking about money. He does everything for money. Like, look at that Qatar thing he did during the World Cup. Like like grabbing money all the time. Why he wanted that knighthood to add a fucking three more zeros onto all his paychecks. He is so money hungry. But the peltzes make them look poor and like pauperish. And they don't like being made feel that way.
Speaker #0
It's almost like the power or the fame doesn't translate overseas.
Speaker #1
No.
Speaker #0
Like Beckhams are huge here, do you know? And they're not really like, they kind of tried to break America, but they didn't really break America. And no one knows peltzes. And they're nothing here. I'm sorry, Victoria's single is now number one. Like the public have spoken, ladies.
Speaker #1
Such an innocent girl. It's so perfect. It's so perfect. And she's the first Spice. It's her first number one single. She never got a number one single.
Speaker #0
I mean, is that not...
Speaker #1
I think she's the first Spice Girls to get a number one single. And it's for that reason. Is that just the best British humour?
Speaker #0
Yeah, I really like the way they swing things around. I'm leaving it with I'm on no one's side.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
But you're not on the Beckham side.
Speaker #1
Oh, absolutely not. Because my closing remark is this. I challenge you as you're listening to this, and I've done it today, Friday.
Speaker #0
I challenge you to a duel.
Speaker #1
You go on to David, Victoria, Cruz, Romeo. All four of their pages in the stories as of today or their latest post. they're selling something. So like Victoria is selling the makeup. David is selling Adidas. Cruise is selling his tour. And Victoria is selling that tour for him or like reposting her stories. And Romeo is selling some hipster fashion brand. They are using this because they know so many eyeballs are going on their pages to see if these family are responding. And what are they doing? They're going, oh, your little TikTok attention span. Here's show product, product, products.
Speaker #0
