Brooklyn Beckham shares more details from his ’embarrassing’ proposal to Nicola Peltz

Brooklyn Beckham landed a slot on The Late Late Show on Monday night – despite having no fame outside his parents’ prominence.   

The superstar offspring, 22, chatted to James Corden on the hit US show – in a slot typically saved for esteemed stars with talents under their belt – during which he showcased his frequently-ridiculed cooking skills.  

The son of David and Victoria Beckham shared details of his proposal to Nicola Peltz and challenged the host to a cook off – four months after facing brutal mockery for his appearance on The Today Show, where he made a sandwich. 

Mum and dad… thanks! Brooklyn Beckham landed a slot on The Late Late Show on Monday night – despite having no fame outside his parents’ prominence 

Brooklyn is the eldest child of the Beckhams, who are also parents to Romeo, 19, Cruz, 16, and their only daughter, Harper, 10.

On the show, he was keen to show off his culinary skills as he challenged James to a cook-off, with the duo preparing steak frites with mushy peas.

As James asked him who in his family was the harshest critic of his cooking and he said it was his little sister Harper. He said: ‘She is the funniest person in the world. She is always harsh about my food.’

Brooklyn went on to add that even if she likes the food she will ask for a little bit more salt or pepper – something typically seen as a slight on a chef.

He added that he’ll be cooking for fiancée Nicola on Valentine’s Day, but hasn’t yet planned out a meal as it’ll be ‘whatever she wants’. 

The appearance comes after Brooklyn landed himself in the middle of a furious foodie frenzy after baffling Today show viewers by appearing on a live cooking segment – during which he simply ‘assembled a sandwich’ in October. 

During his appearance, he shared his ‘recipe’ for an English breakfast sandwich, a dish that he ‘learned from his great-grandma’.  

Teaching him a thing or two? Brooklyn is yet to establish him as a star in his own right – yet continues to scoop prestigious appearances thanks to his lineage 

Explaining that he developed a passion for cooking while in lockdown, during which he began posting videos of himself whipping up different dishes on Instagram, he ran hosts Hoda Kotb and Carson Daly through his sandwich-making process. 

But while the Today hosts were quick to praise his simple creation, viewers were up in arms over the decision to feature such an easy-to-assemble dish, with many branding the clip ’embarrassing’ and ‘painful’.

At the start of the segment, Brooklyn was seen telling viewers about dad David’s love of food, before waxing lyrical about his ‘favourite’ cast-iron skillet, which was already filled with pre-cooked sausages and bacon rashers.

English breakfast: In October, he shared his ‘recipe’ for an English breakfast sandwich, a dish that he ‘learned from his great-grandma’ – which was met with confusion and ridicule 

He added that his love of cooking began to flourish during quarantine, when he began posting videos of himself making different dishes on his Instagram account.  

Brooklyn then began preparing the sandwich ingredients – and it was here that viewers’ online mockery really took off, with social media users blasting everything from his hatred of ‘runny eggs’ to the lack of butter on the bread.    

Elsewhere in the chat with James, Brooklyn discussed his engagement to Nicola, admitting he suffered an ’embarrassing’ mishap. 

The chef proposed to Nicola, 27, in the countryside of New York’s Bedford in a tiny white gazebo back in July 2020, and admitted not all had gone to plan.    

Wedding bells: Brooklyn admitted he suffered an ’embarrassing’ mishap when he proposed to Nicola in July 2020 as he was unable to open a bottle of wine 

He revealed he had filled the gazebo with flowers, candles, her favourite wine and caviar, but admitted: ‘I couldn’t open up the wine, which was really embarrassing.

‘After 10 minutes, I finally opened it and poured her a glass and then I got on my knees. She didn’t know what I was doing.’

As James quipped that surely she would have had an inkling due to Brooklyn’s grand gesture, he insisted that he treats Nicola like this ‘all the time.’   

He continued: ‘I got down on one knee and started telling her how much I love her, and it lasted like five minutes, and then I reached back and got the ring.

‘I opened it and said “will you marry me because I want to be with you for the rest of my life and you are my best friend and she just started crying.”

Brooklyn said he said she didn’t answer for another ‘nerve-wracking’  five minutes as she kept crying. 

Wow: The former photography student went on to reveal how committed he is to his fiancée, detailing how she inspired several of his 84 tattoos (pictured: an inking of Nicola’s eyes and a love letter she penned him)

The former photography student went on to reveal how committed he is to his fiancée, detailing how she inspired several of his 84 tattoos.  

He confessed that he had been considering copying dad David’s wings tattoo on his back but decided to do something different and get Nicola’s eyes inked on.    

‘My fiancé has gorgeous eyes so I thought why not,’ he said, adding that he also loved the tattoo underneath of a love letter that Nicola sent him.

The tattoo reads: ‘My forever boy read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and I hope I never go a day without your love. 

‘I think you are so incredible just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wife.’

Romantic: Brooklyn added that he’ll be cooking for fiancée Nicola on Valentine’s Day, but hasn’t yet planned out a meal as it’ll be ‘whatever she wants’
