During the chat about the eldest Beckham boy’s explosive rant about David and Victoria Beckham, Lisa, 49, mentioned that she also has a “brand”.
She was referring to the part in Brooklyn’s statement where he slammed Brand Beckham and said: “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.
“But I believe the truth always comes out.”

Beckhams ‘floored’ by attack… and Brooklyn could still make explosive move
POSH’S DEFENCE
Katherine Ryan says Brooklyn Beckham is ‘ungrateful nepo baby’ after rant
As they talked about Brooklyn, the topic of mother-in-laws came up, and Lisa, who plays Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale, referred to her partner Al’s mum.
“Yeah for me, I wanted her to approve, and I wanted Al’s mum to really approve of me. Completely,” the I’m A Celeb campmate said.
Kaye Adams then asked: “Well, did she?”
“No, I can’t cook, so I’m not a very good wife in what she wanted,” Lisa replied.
“But I do my own laundry. I think you want to be loved and liked, and I think she grew to think she’s quite funny, she makes her son really happy.
“I love the fact now, that my dad, obviously all the terrible relationships I had before, and my mum and dad having to pick up the pieces. Now I sit with my dad and he loves the fact I’m happy 12 years in with Al.
“I’ve found someone that’s not going to do me over, again, we are a brand because we work on television.
“Al doesn’t want to be front and centre all the time, that’s my job, but it does come with what we do.”
Fans took to social media to comment on her calling herself a “brand”.
One person tweeted: “I’ve heard some corkers in my time, but Mandy from Emmerdale saying she understand the Beckhams’ position because she and her husband are a brand too, really takes the biscuit.”
While another said: “Did Lisa say she has brand?”
“Eh???…..This is gold,” a third said.

BROOKLYN GOES NUCLEAR
In his jaw-dropping six-page Instagram post, Brooklyn made 12 key accusations about his loved ones in his full statement.
This included allegations of “bribery” and telling his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, “she’s not family”.
The budding chef, who wed the actress in April 2022, said: “I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life” during the celeb-packed Miami nuptials.”
Brooklyn also said he does “not want to reconcile” with his family, and accused his parents of “controlling” the narrative.
The latest on Brooklyn’s seismic statement…
RETURN TO SOCIAL MEDIA
As of yet, Victoria and David have not commented on Brooklyn’s statement.
Understandably, Posh and Becks were left “floored” by the claims.
But today they tried to put the huge fallout behind them as they bravely made a comeback on Instagram.
Failing to address the scandal, they opted to focus on positive moments with their pals instead.

Posh Spice Victoria uploaded a throwback snap showing her with Baby Spice Emma Bunton to celebrate her 50th birthday.
It showed Victoria giving her bandmate a piggy back and added the caption: “Happy Birthday Emma Bunton.
“Love you so much”.
Meanwhile, David took to his own account to mark former Manchester United teammate Nicky Butt‘s special day.
The Beckham Family Feud
- April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz.
- Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
- Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
- Alleged Wedding “Hijack”: In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria “ruined” part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying.
- March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a “baby voice” (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade.
- April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham’s 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show.
- May 2025: David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
- Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
- Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
- June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a “crisis team” similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for “reputation management” due to the growing media scrutiny.
- Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn.
- July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
- Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.
- Brooklyn launches nuclear attack on his ‘controlling’ parents and berates mum Victoria in furious tirade.
