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!"

The comment references the controversy surrounding Brooklyn's January allegations about his mother's behaviour at his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz, where the aspiring chef claimed Victoria danced "inappropriately" at the reception, leaving him humiliated.

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.

Brooklyn also alleged Victoria withdrew from designing Nicola's wedding dress at the last minute, forcing his fiancée to urgently source an alternative.

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.

At this year's Brit Awards, Hilary turned up dressed as a braless Chappell Roan, while father Michael opted for a Harry Styles-inspired look.

The previous year, when Mr Whitehall hosted the ceremony, the pair made a surprise appearance costumed as Kanye West and Bianca Censori, referencing the couple's infamous Grammy Awards moment.

When Hilary threatened to remove her coat just as Bianca had done, Mr Whitehall warned: "Don't you dare, Hilary!"

His mother responded: "It's nothing you've not seen before, Jack!"

The comedian's Netflix series Travels With My Father also captured Hilary performing on stage at a Magic Mike show, leaving both Mr Whitehall and his dad thoroughly embarrassed.

Mr Whitehall first encountered Ms Horner during a trip to Australia in 2020, and the pair subsequently spent lockdown together in London during the coronavirus pandemic.

The couple announced their engagement in 2024, having welcomed daughter Elsie in September the previous year.

Upon becoming a father, Mr Whitehall shared his joy online, expressing that he was "in awe of my partner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever."

Ms Horner, who received a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis in 2021, has spoken about her partner's unwavering support through her health challenges.

"My boyfriend has been incredible. I am so lucky in that respect," she told Marie Claire.
