David Beckham has shown just what a perfect match him and wife Victoria are on their 22nd wedding anniversary.
The former footballer has shared a series of pics with Victoria and they all have one thing in common: matchy-matchy outfits.
Well, they’ve always had a bit of a thing for coordinating their wardrobe, but we still can’t get on board with those matching purple wedding outfits (sorry guys).
David shared the collection of throwback snaps on Instagram on Sunday, which he captioned: “22 years later, still matching outfits. Happy anniversary love u so much and thank you for giving me our amazing kids so we can all wear the same.”
The final pic sees the happy couple posing with their four children, Brooklyn, 22, Romeo, 18, Cruz, 16, and Harper, nine, in their PJs – all matching, of course.
Victoria was also feeling nostalgic on her Instagram page, where she shared a video montage of her and David looking seriously loved-up throughout the years.
She captioned the montage, “I love you David” with a pink hearts emoji, and finished with “Happy Anniversary”.
David and Victoria first met in 1997 at a football match, and were engaged a year later. They tied the knot four months later in a lavish ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle, just outside Dublin.
Over 20 million fans – including quite a few famous faces – watched the game on the BBC and many celebrated into the early hours after the Three Lions reached their second consecutive semi-final at a major tournament.
And it didn’t take long for many a celeb to share their (often hilarious) thoughts on England’s latest Euro 2020 win on Twitter…
I don’t want to over share but I can feel a semi coming on. #ENGUKR
Two goals from captain Harry Kane and headers from Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson handed the England side a resounding win at Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Gareth Southgate’s men will now meet Denmark in the last four at Wembley on Wednesday evening.
Either Italy or Spain are waiting for a potential final next weekend.
One not-so-unlucky-in-love football fan got the shock of his life when he facetimed a girl he met on holiday only for the number to belong to an actual celeb.
Luke Worley was on holiday in Kos, Greece when he and his friends met a group of women on a night out and asked one of them for her number.
The 28-year-old then decided to give her a buzz the following day when England played Germany in their Euro 2020 match.
But when Luke dialled the number, instead of the girl he’d met answering, it was TV presenter Maya Jama.
TwitterMaya Jama and Luke (bottom right).
He told LADBible: “We were in a bar and we were a bit drunk – we’d been drinking all day, as you can imagine – and we tried calling these girls to see where they are.
“I tried to ring a normal phone call at first through WhatsApp because I was connected to the WiFi in the bar.
“It said ‘Connecting’ and then it just didn’t go through, it just crashed. So I thought I’d try a video call – it rang once, and Maya Jama answered.”
Luke initially thought it was a wind-up, but when Maya was as confused as he ewas, he realised it was a pure fluke.
He continued: “She was like, ‘Who are you?’
“And I was like, ‘Oh, I was calling for Sarah!’”
When the former Radio 1 presenter told him her name, he replied: “I know who you are!”
The pair ended up chatting anyway before the TV presenter – who he said was a “good sport” – got called away.
“We had a conversation, we spoke about the show that she’s doing at the minute with Crouchy – that’s what she was doing, she was getting ready for that,” he said.
“She was really nice about it, she couldn’t have been any better.
“A lot of people in the public eye would have probably just put the phone down or something or blocked my number.”
After the call, Maya tweeted it was “the most random phone call ever”.
The sculpture, created by Ian Rank-Broadley, was unveiled by Princes William and Harry at the Sunken Gardens at Kensington Palace on Thursday.
After Piers Morgan tweeted his dislike of the statue, Davina agreed, tweeting: “I really wanted to like it. But somehow… it doesn’t feel very Diana? Her joie de vivre… her radiance, her compassion. It feels stiff.”

Davina has since deleted the tweet, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by Piers.
“Bullied & abused by the woke #BeKind brigade into deleting an honestly-held and entirely accurate opinion. Suffice it to say, I won’t be deleting my statue critique – because it’s true,” he tweeted on Saturday.

“Can I just say, I don’t really like it,” Lorraine said on her daytime show on Friday..
“I’m sorry. I don’t know what you think, but I don’t really like the outfit.”

Lorraine said that she liked the “strength” that the statue gives off, as the late princess “looks very strong”, but added: “I just don’t think it does her justice.
“Of course, it was all about the boys and if they’re happy, then that’s fine,’ Lorraine said of William and Harry.
“Maybe it looks better in real life. I have to reserve judgement until I can see it for myself.”
The bronze statue shows Diana surrounded by three children and is said to be based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as a humanitarian ambassador.
It aims to convey “her character and compassion”, Kensington Palace said.

William and Harry said in a joint statement on the day: “Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60 birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.
“Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.”
Jonathan Ross made his Celebrity Gogglebox debut on Friday night and viewers had so many questions about a certain piece of furniture in the chat show host’s front room: mainly “where can I get one?”
Jonathan settled down on the family sofa with his son Harvey Kirby, daughter Honey Kinney and Honey’s boyfriend, musician Zane Saz to give their opinions on the week’s telly.
Well we say sofa, we’re not entirely sure that does it justice…

Fans of the hit BBC cop drama will remember the character – portrayed by James Nesbitt – was killed off in the penultimate episode of the most recent series, despite viewers having ever only seen him in photographs on the show.
Thurwell was found dead as Spanish police carried out a raid on his home in the hunt for the so-called “fourth man”, who was later revealed to be DSU Ian Buckells.
However, many speculated at the time that Thurwell might actually be dead, despite a line of dialogue during a scene at AC-12 confirming his fate in the finale.
BBCJames Nestbitt only appeared in photographs as Marcus Thurwell
During an appearance on This Morning on Monday, Daniel told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: “I don’t think James Nesbitt is dead, I don’t know this, but I have a sneaking suspicion he might be the main man.”
Holly agreed: “It makes sense, otherwise you’re like, what was that scene when he was dead on the bed?”
Daniel said: “We didn’t get a close up did we of his bush.”
“And why waste him? What was the point?” Phillip said.

Daniel said, however, that he wouldn’t be surprised if writer and creator Jed Mercurio was trying to trick fans, given Daniel’s own character met a grisly end very early on into series three.
He said: “James Nesbitt is a phenomenal talent but maybe it’s just Jed Mercurio dangling the carrot, who knows. I wouldn’t put it past him. He killed me off didn’t he, he could do anything.”

While “H”, aka “the fourth man”, was revealed in the final episode of series six, many fans are convinced there’s more to the storyline – including Adrian Dunbar, who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings.
Jed Mercurio previously revealed there’s potential to explore Osborne and possible links to organised crime should Line Of Duty return for a seventh series.

Speaking to Den Of Geek, he said: ”[Osborne]’s someone who retains high office who is an outright liar and has been involved in corruption in the past in terms of the Karim Ali case and the Lawrence Christopher case.
“Clearly there would be potential there if we wanted to explore it, but it’s too early to say whether we ever would.”
It’s A Sin creator Russell T Davies has said privatising Channel 4 would be a “great crime” that would result in programmes like his recent hit series not being made.
The government has said it will launch a consultation into the privatisation of the channel, which was founded in 1982.
Channel 4 is currently owned by the government and receives its funding from advertising but could be sold off to a private buyer.
Speaking at the Banff World Media Festival in Canada, Davies said we are “looking at very dark days here”.

He said the channel’s remit “which is to make shows like It’s A Sin” would change if it were to be sold.
“It exists to make this kind of drama and that’s going to fall away now,” he said.
“Come back in 10 years and you’ll see. I can’t promise we’ll be here to talk about this sort of programme on Channel 4 for much longer because the government is gutting it.”
It’s A Sin tells the story of a group of young friends living in London through the HIV/Aids crisis in the 1980s and its impact on the LGBT community.
Channel 4 previously said the series drove its streaming service to record growth.

Culture secretary Oliver Dowden said earlier this week the consultation into privatising Channel 4 is aimed at ensuring the broadcaster “keeps its place at the heart of British broadcasting”.
Davies said he is “very lucky to have a history” with Channel 4 and the broadcaster is “responsible for my entire career”, citing his 1999 drama Queer As Folk.
“If you think back to 1999, that was a revolution,” he said. “No other channel would have made that then.
“In some ways, literally the remit of Channel 4 is to look for different voices, different stories and part of the government’s thinking in selling it off is we now have more choice because we have streamers, we have Netflix, we have Amazon.
“We have more choice, but that means more choice of zombies, ghosts and detectives. They certainly don’t make this kind of stuff.”

He compared the consultation into the sale of Channel 4 with the sale of Cadbury’s.
“We all go, ‘It’s not as nice as it was’, and we don’t riot in the streets, we give up because we’re too busy staring at our screens,” Davies said.
“That’s what they’ve done, they’ve ‘Cadburyed’ it. They’re going to Cadbury the entire channel.”
Channel 4 boss Alex Mahon said earlier this week (via The Independent): “I think, in any examination of [privatisation], we’ve got to be clear that it’s about – as the Secretary of State said to the select committee – about making Channel 4 stronger.
“My question would be: what’s the analysis to show what makes us stronger?
She continued: “We’ve always got to be careful of doing anything that might be irreversible, that could possibly damage some of those things that we do for the sector, and that we do for the UK.
Jennifer Aniston has been famous for decades, but even she has trouble with some of the gossip, rumours and attention that comes with being in the public eye.
The Friends star has spoken out about what’s helped her cope over the years, telling People magazine that “self-awareness is key” and opening up about therapy in a cover story for the US outlet.
“I’ve really gotten a lot out of therapy. Just being a public person, there’s a lot of amazing things that come with that,” the actor told the magazine.
“But there’s also a lot of tough stuff, because we’re only human, and we tend to walk around with bullseyes on our heads.”
“It’s like, ‘Oh, good gosh, when and how many years will it take for you to ignore that silliness?’”
When Jennifer reunited with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, for an unexpectedly flirty table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High for charity last September, it sent fans into a spiral and reignited relationship rumours.
“There’s no oddness at all except for everyone that probably watched it and wanted there to be. We had fun and [the table read] was for a great cause.”

“David was great [but] we were in relationships. It was always never the right time, and it wouldn’t have worked,” she told the host, who refused to believe the two hadn’t “consummated” the relationship.
“The beauty of that was, whatever feelings we had, we just literally channelled everything into Ross and Rachel. I think maybe that’s why it resonated.”
“I would proudly say I banged Schwimmer if that happened,” she added with a laugh. “He reminded me of my high school boyfriend, to be quite honest.”
Britney Spears’ boyfriend Sam Asghari has shared a photo of himself sporting a “Free Britney” t-shirt ahead of the singer’s latest hearing about the conservatorship she was placed under more than a decade ago.
The chart-topping singer was placed under the legal conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears in 2008, during which time he’s been in charge of various aspects of her daily life, as well as her finances.
InstagramA screenshot of Sam Asghari’s Instagram story
In a selfie posted on his Instagram story, he was seen sporting a t-shirt emblazoned with the “Free Britney” slogan, alongside a lion emoji.
The previous night, he shared a motivational speech about lions, which said: “The lion is the king of the jungle. He’s not the biggest, the fastest or the smartest… so how does a lion become the king of the jungle? His mentality.”
Britney has not spoken publicly about the conservatorship since the 2009 MTV documentary Britney: For The Record, but did request last year that her father be replaced as her legal guardian.
The star’s lawyer added that Britney was refusing to perform as long as her dad was still in charge of her estate.

While Britney has remained tight-lipped on the conservatorship battle, Sam – who was born in Iran – wrote on Instagram in February: “I have zero respect for someone trying to control our relationship and constantly throwing obstacles our way.
“In my opinion Jamie is a total dick. I won’t be going into details because I’ve always respected our privacy but at the same time I didn’t come to this country to not be able to express my opinion and freedom.”
What do you get if you mix Sarah Paulson, Matthew Perry and an invite from Carrie Fisher to a “make out party”? The answer is this somewhat unexpected celebrity anecdote.
The American Horror Story star made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s US chat show on Monday, when she recalled what happened when she “hit it off” with the late Star Wars legend, after meeting on a night out in the early days of her career.
After deciding to leave the gathering they were at, they were in their cars when Carrie “rolled down her window and shouted out, ‘Hey, do you want to come to a party?’”

Excitedly accepting the invitation, Sarah later ended up attending what Carrie described as “Gore Vidal’s make out party”, who Jimmy explained was a writer who threw “interesting parties”.
“I didn’t see anyone make out,” Sarah said. “But there was a hat with names in it and you were supposed to make out with whomever you pulled out of the hat.”
Revealing an encounter with a certain Friends star, Sarah continued: “Matthew Perry pulled my name out of the hat… and then promptly left the room.
“I was like, ‘Uh, well let’s kiss!’ and he was like, ‘No,’” she said.
“We knew each other a little bit through one of my very best friends and it was awkward.”

And while they didn’t end up making out at the time, they did lock lips years later when they worked together on Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip.
“We ended up playing romantic partners,” she said. “And then I got my kiss. I got several kisses. And boy, did he regret not taking me up on that at Gore Vidal’s make out party.”

Sarah played Harriet Hayes in the US comedy drama, who was the ex-girlfriend of Matthew’s character Matt Albie.
Studio 60 ran for one series from 2006 to 2007, before it was cancelled by NBC.
