Brooklyn Beckham horrifies fans by cooking pasta with seawater on board luxury yacht - as he tries to trump his estranged dad David who went to Italian culinary school

Brooklyn Beckham was back in the kitchen again as he horrified fans by cooking a pasta dish using seawater during his stay on a luxury yacht. 

Posting to TikTok on Thursday, the aspiring chef, 27, took the opportunity to promote his hot sauce Cloud 23 as he whipped up a tomato pasta dish. 

But the eldest Beckham son immediately caused controversy as he dipped his saucepan in the sea to collect salty water to boil the pasta. 

It seems Brooklyn was trying to trump his estranged dad David who also has a passion for cooking and even completed a culinary course during his spell at AC Milan. 

He told The Times back in 2013: 'Funnily enough, when I lived in Italy, I took a six-month culinary course at a professional chef's school and learnt to make real ragu and fresh pasta. 

'I used to go there three times a week... I was obsessed with perfecting the risotto because it is difficult.'

Fans were left less than impressed by Brooklyn's kitchen antics as they took to the comments, joking: 'Pasta water with a hint of burnt boat fuel please sir'; 'Bit dodgy the water'. 

Another teased: 'Hi, quick question. I haven’t got the sea in my back Garden. Will tap water do?'

Others poked fun at the simplicity of the dish as they added: 'Brooklyn can you show me how to make a glass of water next?'; 'tomorrow I'm making corn flakes'

David and Victoria are currently holidaying around the South Of France on their £16million yacht with their daughter Harper, son Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull. 

And Posh and Becks almost ran into their estranged son Brooklyn, who was on holiday with wife Nicola Peltz just down the coast in Nice last week. 

Brooklyn and Nicola holidayed with Elton John on his yacht, just a stone's throw from where the Beckhams were also staying at the time.

The Beckhams and Elton have been pals for more than 30 years, with David affectionately calling the musician 'Uncle Elton' after the pair became friends in his football heyday.

Yet Elton appears to be pledging an allegiance with Brooklyn and Nicola as they enjoyed lunch on the sundeck.

Before heading to the South of France, David and Victoria had been in the US – with Romeo and Kim, Harper, 15, Cruz, 21, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30 – to watch the World Cup, but despite living in California, Brooklyn avoided meeting up with his family.

It comes after reports Brooklyn and Nicola will reportedly no longer celebrate their first wedding due to the 'bad memories it holds'.

Sources close to the couple have claimed their April 2022 wedding, that was attended by his family, is not an 'occasion they look back on fondly'.

The couple officially tied the knot at a three-day extravaganza at the Peltz family Palm Beach estate in April 2022 in front of 500 guests.

They later renewed their vows in August 2025 – and pointedly did not invite the Beckham family. 

In another swipe at his estranged parents, Brooklyn and Nicola will now see their secret second wedding as their 'official' anniversary.

Brooklyn failed to post a tribute to Nicola on their original anniversary this April, while Nicola has never marked the celebration.

Pointedly, the pair both marked their new anniversary in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

A source said: 'Brooklyn and Nicola's first wedding in April 2022 is not an occasion they look back on fondly. Nicola ended up in tears. It's not something they want to be reminded of.

'Their second wedding, where they renewed their vows last August with just her family and their friends, does hold so many happy memories however.

'Going forwards, they’ve decided that this is the date they will celebrate publicly together,' they added to The Sun.

The Daily Mail has approached Nicola, Brooklyn and the Beckhams for comment. 

Marking the vow renewal on Tuesday, Brooklyn called the actress, 31, his 'absolute princess'. 

He penned: 'Happy anniversary Nicola I can’t tell you how much I love you x you are my best friend and I love you more than life itself xx.

'I am so lucky to be able to call you my wife xx you are my absolute princess and I promise to always protect you xx.'

Nicola also posted, writing: 'happy anniversary my love you make life so beautiful. thank you for being the most amazing husband i could ever dream of.'

In Brooklyn's scathing bombshell statement earlier this year, the eldest Beckham son explained that he and Nicola hosted a vow renewal without his family, as they wanted to 'create new memories that bring us joy and happiness' after Victoria ruined their wedding. 

In his statement in January, Brooklyn detailed the 'anxiety and embarrassment' he felt when Victoria hijacked their first dance and called him 'evil' when she wasn't seated at his table.

He wrote: 'During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ''evil'' because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands.

'Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours. The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family."

'My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song.

'In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.

'She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.

'We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.'
