Channel 4 to air one-off ‘Beckham family feud’ special on TV tonight – here’s the details

Tonight, Channel 4 will broadcast a special program about the disagreements within the Beckham family. Titled Beckham: Family at War – UNTOLD, the show explores the recent, very public tension between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria.

Last week, Brooklyn publicly claimed his parents have always manipulated how the media portrays their family. He stated that his upbringing was filled with staged social media posts, contrived family appearances, and relationships that didn’t feel genuine.

He explained that his family prioritizes public image and endorsements above everything else, essentially putting the “Brand Beckham” first. He feels that family affection is now measured by social media posts and willingness to interrupt work for staged photo opportunities, even if it means sacrificing professional commitments.

Brooklyn also stated that his parents had been consistently attempting to sabotage his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz. He claimed they did this, for example, by Victoria allegedly cancelling plans to design Nicola’s wedding dress shortly before the wedding.

He also stated that people tried to force and pay him to give up control over his name and image. He further alleged that Victoria interfered with his first dance with his wife, dancing with him in a way he considered inappropriate, and raised concerns about why he wasn’t at David’s 50th birthday celebration.

Tonight at 10pm, Channel 4 will broadcast a new film exploring how a story about difficult relationships quickly gained popularity and captured so much public interest.

The documentary will explore the public’s reaction and discussions surrounding the topic by featuring insights from PR professionals, celebrities, and psychologists. It aims to understand the pressures faced by those with famous parents – often called ‘nepo babies’ – and explain why this family conflict has captured the attention of audiences in the UK and around the globe.

Following Brooklyn’s statement, David and Victoria Beckham haven’t publicly responded to the allegations. However, during an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, David alluded to the situation, saying that “children are allowed to make mistakes” when discussing kids and social media.

He explained that making mistakes is part of learning, and that’s what he aims to teach his children. He also emphasized the importance of allowing them to learn from those errors themselves.

Beckham: Family at War – UNTOLD will air at 10pm this evening on Channel 4.
