Brit Awards host Jack Whitehall takes aim at Victoria Beckham's dance moves as his 'painful posh boy schtick' is criticised by viewers

Even the Beckham's weren't safe from Jack Whitehall's tirade of one-liners during the Brit Awards on Saturday evening, which he hosted at the Co-op Live arena.

The presenter, 37, didn't hold back as he referenced the highly-publicised family feud between Brooklyn and his parents Victoria and David as well as his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz, during his evening at the helm of the show in Manchester.

Jack specifically mentioned Victoria's dance moves, which became a bone of contention when Brooklyn, 26, accused his mother of 'dancing on him inappropriately' at his wedding in a six-page social media statement in January.

As Jack introduced Mark Ronson's performance he told the audience to 'prepare to throw shapes like you're Victoria Beckham during a first dance' - a nod to Brooklyn's accusations.

Brooklyn's claims about Victoria's dancing became the most talked about part of his scathing rant  - which he claimed left him feeling 'more uncomfortable and humiliated than ever in his life'.

Sources claimed that Victoria left Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz, 31, 'in tears' at their 2022 wedding after she 'nuzzled his neck' in her impromptu dance at the reception.

But at the time, fans cast doubt on the claims after finding social media videos of a 'drunk' Victoria showing off her dancing with her family. 

One video showed Victoria dancing with both Brooklyn and Nicola after the premiere of the actress's film Lola in 2024, while another featured the designer in a montage of dance clips, including a viral moment with her husband David from his Netflix series. 

Comparing Posh to 'an average mother after one too many vinos,' many users also shared in the comments that Nicola looked 'happy' to be in her mother-in-law's company, a stark contrast to the image painted by Brooklyn's statement.

One video showed the on-screen text: 'It just doesn't make sense to me that VB is out here dancing innapropes, the woman is your average mother after too many vinos.'

Another said: 'POV you are the worst mother-in-law.'

Fans lauded Victoria's fun dance moves, with comments saying: 'Nicola was posting videos and pictures of their fam vacation after the wedding saying how much she loved VB and VB was doing the same. This is some BS and no one will ever make me hate Posh.

'She doesn't even dance 'inappropriately' with her husband in public so highly unlikely she would with her son.

'Makes me question his whole statement saying this so sad for them all; I don't think anyone could hate on VB she's such a bloody vibe I love her

'Haha boys going viral for a VB video. Love it; All I know is that if posh was my MIL I'd be honoured

'Nothing can make me go against Victoria (even that song playing is hers); She looks fun to me.

'We all know that our Vicky can't dance; Literally!!! We love you VB

'She is my spirit animal. Do your thang girl; Go on Victoria!! May you never stop dancing.'

A wedding guest - Stavros Agapiou - did back up Brooklyn's claims that Victoria danced 'inappropriately' with him on his wedding night.

Agapiou is the partner of British DJ Fat Tony, who was asked to perform at the reception. In an Instagram comment, they wrote: 'I was there and she did, he's telling the truth.'

The comment has since been deleted and Stavros instead posted 'Good on him for finally speaking out!'

DJ Fat Tony, 60, who performed at Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding party in April 2022, later branded the incident 'really awkward' and confirmed that the actress fled the reception in tears during an appearance on This Morning.

Tony, a longtime friend of the Beckhams, claimed that Marc Anthony was to blame, revealing the musician had called Victoria to the dance floor with her son and instructed him, 'place your hands on your mother's hips'.

Clarifying that the 'inappropriate' nature of the situation was more due to the timing, he said: 'There was no slut-dropping, there was no PVC cat suits, no Spice Girl action!

'The word 'inappropriate', why I said it was as well, it was the timing, this is what happened.'

Tony continued: 'What happened was, basically, Marc Anthony was performing on stage, he then called Brooklyn onto stage. 

'Brooklyn went on to the stage, and the next minute everyone's expecting Nicola to go up and do the first dance, and then Marc asked for the most beautiful woman in the room to come to the stage - and then he says 'Victoria, come to the stage'.' 

He revealed that Brooklyn looked 'devastated' at the fact his first dance was with Victoria and not his wife, adding that Nicola left the room 'crying her eyes out'.

Tony went on: 'Brooklyn is stuck there on stage, and they do this dance, and Marc Anthony says 'put your hands on your mother's hips' and it was a Latin thing, and the whole situation was really awkward for everyone in the room…

'I've done an awful lot of Beckham parties in the past, and they are a very dancing close-knit family and love to dance, right? So you know, what we deem as 'inappropriate' is not how Brooklyn feels. 

'This is all about how Brooklyn feels. If he feels that it was inappropriate and awkward, it was inappropriate and awkward.

'What's sad is that this is the bit that everyone's taken from the statement, and kind of whitewashed everything else that went on.' 

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the DJ said at one point Brooklyn's hands were on his mother's waist while her arms were placed around his neck.

'The timing was inappropriate for me. It was meant to be a bride and groom's moment,' he told us.

'I'm not speaking bad about either party in it, I'm just putting the narrative straight about the dance.'
