Kerry Katona makes savage dig at Brooklyn Beckham with 'nepo-baby' remark

Kerry Katona has taken a brutal swipe at David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn, as she discussed 'nepo-baby' claims about her own daughter. The former Atomic Kitten singer, 44, was revealed she has encouraged her daughter to take any offers of reality TV.

Mum-of-four Kerry, who will soon head out on tour with long-time pal Katie Price, wants her 18-year-old daughter Heidi to follow in her footsteps when it comes to her career. Talking about her wishes for her children, she commented that she'd love to see her go into the I'm A Celebrity... jungle with her best mate, Katie Price's daughter Princess, also 18.

The two old friends delighted audiences with their adult pantomime last Christmas, and decided to take their double-act on tour. An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona will run from September to November. It comes after Katie Price worries fans with appearance in family photo after explaining weight loss.

The official listing for their tour says the pair "are looking forward to hitting the road together and sharing stories of marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, I’m A Celebrity, the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around."

But when challenged by critics over her dream for Heidi to go onto reality TV, she hit back at 'nepo-baby' claims. Kerry said: "Everyone talks about nepotism right, but everyone has a contact for somebody."

She told the Sun: "I can open a door for you. Whether you get through that door and you stay through it, that’s on your own f*****g merit."

Kerry then took a swipe at David Beckham's 26-year-old son Brooklyn, who quit football. She remarked: "You don’t see Brooklyn Beckham playing f***ing football, because he’s s**t."

Brooklyn played for Arsenal's youth squad until he was 16 but wasn't awarded a scholarship. He instead decided to become a photographer and also has his own hot sauce brand.

Elsewhere, Katie Price weighed in on her daughter Princess' upcoming documentary, which follows the teen on the lead-up to her 18th birthday. But despite her mum's high-profile in the UK, Princess will be the star of the show, with Katie banned from taking part in her documentary.

To add insult to injury, Katie's ex Peter Andre and his wife, NHS doctor Emily, will feature in the documentary. A source told MailOnline: "Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final. Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life.

"Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life." But mum-of-five Katie seems to feel pushed out by the move, bringing up the issue on her podcast, before being swiftly moved on by her sister Sophie.

She said: "Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.

"Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me."

"You aren't on brand, Katie. You are too risky, Katie, that's why," her sister quipped. "It's pathetic. I'm her mother," Katie snapped. "It's so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after..." Katie was then cut off by her sister Sophie, who encouraged her to "save it for another day."
