Some reality stars have
recently cited work as
their excuse for travelling
despite the coronavirus
restrictions. However,
ex-TOWIE cast member
Maria Fowler brilliantly
summed up the mood of
the nation when she said
she’d had enough of seeing
snaps of stars in Dubai.
Taking to Instagram,
Maria, 34, said, “I just
think that influencers
should not be posting that
they are in Dubai... I’m all
for people doing what they
want in life, but I just think
there’s a place and time.I don’t think in the middle
of a pandemic is the right
place and time to be
posting holiday pictures
and videos when you’ve
got a massive following. I
just think if we all went and
did that we’d be in a pickle.”
Hear, hear!David and Victoria Beckham
have ruffled feathers after
reports emerged that they flew
to the US over Christmas, despite
the travel restrictions of the
coronavirus pandemic.
The couple are said to have
flown via private jet to Miami on
Christmas Day before travelling
to New York to celebrate the
new year with their eldest son
Brooklyn’s fiancée, Nicola Peltz,
and her family.
The source said, “After
spending Christmas morning at
their Cotswolds home – which
was Tier 2 at the time – they all
took Covid tests before flyingfrom a local airport via private jet
to Florida.”
The new UK-wide lockdown
was brought into effect while the
Beckhams were Stateside, so
Victoria, 46, and David, 45, will
now have to homeschool their
children remotely in the US.JET-SETTING BECKHAMS

blamed daytime
TV for making
him gain
weight. The

pictures of me in my thirties
and forties, I can’t look at!”

& CHRIS TAYLOR
Love Island stars
Maura and Chris
teased they could
be heading down
the aisle during
a fan Q&A on
Instagram. When put
on the spot, Chris, 30, first
suggested 2022, but he soon
changed his answer to “this
year” when Maura, also 30,
looked unimpressed. Ooh!
JOE WICKS
Joe fought back
tears in an
emotional
video after the
latest national
lockdown was
announced. The
34-year-old fitness guru
reminded us, “You need to
look after your mental health.
You might just be in a low
headspace and have issues
with your mental health and
you don’t want to exercise.
It might be the last thing you
want to do but it will get
you through the day.”
SIMON COWELL
Simon went shirtless
during a family
Christmas break

bike crash last August that
almost left him paralysed.
