TALK OF THE TOWN: Posh put in the shade as eight-year-old Harper Beckham masters her mother Victoria’s sunglasses pose

She may be only eight but Harper Beckham has mastered mum Victoria’s sunglasses pose – albeit with a cheeky smile instead of a pout. 

Victoria, 46, posted the picture online, saying: ‘Playing dress up in Mummy’s sunglasses.’ Playing? I bet she gets a modelling contract any minute!

The Beckhams have been confined to their Cotswolds bolthole during the lockdown but the domestic bliss is set to be shattered – last week they gained permission to build a getaway tunnel, cellar and garage.

The good news is that bars are getting ready to reopen their doors at long last – the bad news is you could find yourself being served by staff in beekeeping outfits and sitting next to a dummy.

Welcome to the ‘new normal’!

It’s a legendary bit of pub quiz trivia: Robbie Williams had a part in Brookside before joining Take That. But I’m sorry to reveal it’s not true! 

Robbie Williams, pictured in concert at the SSE Wembley Arena in London in December last year, admitted his manager made him 'tell a lie' that he had a part in Brookside

Robbie Williams, pictured in concert at the SSE Wembley Arena in London in December last year, admitted his manager made him ‘tell a lie’ that he had a part in Brookside 

Robbie confesses: ‘Our manager… was scared of us being a manufactured group. He made me tell a lie that I had been in Brookside.’ 

At least now fans can stop searching through old boxsets of the soap for a glimpse of him.
