All eyes were on David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations after weeks of speculation about a new feud with eldest son Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz Beckham. And with the couple notably absent from a whole week of family events, they appear to have completely distanced themselves from their A-list in-laws. Now, we're told, a devastated Victoria is feeling anxious about the future – and is even worrying what this latest drama may mean when grandchildren eventually come onto the scene. Our source says, ‘Victoria was extremely hurt that Brooklyn and Nicola chose to snub all the celebrations. She's at her wits’ end over how this could escalate and the devastating effect it will have on her family if they can't fix it. She's so excited to one day become a…

As Blake Lively's lawsuit with Justin Baldoni rolls on, her BFF Taylor Swift has been sensationally dragged into the legal drama after she was subpoenaed by Justin's lawyers last week. Not only could Taylor now be questioned over her friendship with Blake, the pop icon will likely have to hand over any private messages between them, which could then be made public as part of the lawsuit. ‘This is Taylor's worst nightmare. While she is one of the world's biggest stars, she's also extremely careful about what she shares in the public domain, so the thought of her private messages being released is horrifying,’ an insider tells heat. ‘She's understandably in a complete panic about how this is going to affect her. She's in a state of disbelief, not to…

What drew you to the script? It was the way it delicately told a story that was so horrific. It handled such a hard subject with extreme sensitivity. What was it like meeting the real Edward McCusker? It was great – he was so generous with his time. He had me around to lunch at his house. He was so generous with trying to recount as much as possible the events that occurred. He's been a great resource, not just to me but to everyone on this production.

PRIME VIDEO, WEDNESDAY 22 MAY The original series of Nine Perfect Strangers aired in 2021, and felt a little bit like Big Little Lies meets The White Lotus, but not quite as good. Adapted from the novel by Liane Moriarty, it told the story of a bunch of privileged types gathering at the ultimate wellness retreat, run by mysterious guru Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman). And while that was an eye-catching premise, the series lost its way. Now here's a sequel series, with Kidman returning in the role of Masha, who this time is running a resort in the Austrian Alps. Among the cast of guest stars are Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians), Lena Olin (Chocolat), Annie Murphy (Schitt's Creek), Christine Baranski (The Good Wife), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus) and…

What excited you about Code Of Silence? It offers a more truthful experience of a deaf person lip reading. You want to be authentic to the experience of deaf people, but it's an entertaining drama as well – you need a mix of the two. Code Of Silence has a deaf character at the centre, and you can't just ignore that, but she's got other stuff going on, too. Catherine Moulton, the writer, is also becoming increasingly hard of hearing, and once she'd decided to learn how to lip read, she realised it was more difficult than she had thought. That's what got me most excited – somebody else experiencing it, not just me coming in and telling people what it's like to be deaf. The way the series represents…
