Jack Whitehall has taken a swipe at the ongoing feud between Sir David Beckham, his wife Victoria Beckham, and their estranged eldest son, Brooklyn.
During a recent podcast appearance, Mr Whitehall joked about the claims made by the Beckhams' eldest son in his explosive statement severing ties with his parents back in January.
The 37-year-old comedian made the remark during an appearance on Ant and Dec's Belta Box YouTube channel on Thursday, where he participated in their Belta or Barmy game.
Discussing his upcoming nuptials with Roxy Horner and what his mother will wear, Mr Whitehall joked: "I think Hillary will definitely be going Victoria Beckham, she's probably got a choreographer as well teaching her to twerk!"

Brooklyn's explosive six-page Instagram statement in January detailed his fractured relationship with his famous parents.
The 26-year-old alleged that singer Marc Anthony called him to the stage during his wedding reception, where Victoria was waiting instead of his bride, Nicola.
He claimed his mother then danced "very inappropriately" with him in front of 500 guests, commandeering what should have been his romantic first dance with his new wife.

The eldest Beckham child stated he has no desire to reconcile with his family, writing that he was "standing up for myself for the first time in my life."
Mr Whithall's remark may have come as a surprise to some, given the number of public appearances he and Sir David have shared, including a 2025 photo-op in the States at Inter Miami.
Meanwhile, Mr Whitehall's parents have form when it comes to mortifying their son at high-profile events.
