Brooklyn Beckham’s latest cooking venture has been mockingly dismissed by Lorraine Kelly as she called his Uber Eats collaboration ‘pointless’.
On Thursday’s edition of her eponymous show, the Scottish star, 64, spoke about Brooklyn’s latest project, which saw him team up with Uber Eats to launch his ultimate takeaway menu, complete with sandwiches and curry.
Hours before the launch, she asked ‘what’s the point’ of the collaboration after it was revealed he wouldn’t be making the food himself, before saying: ‘I’m the worst cook in the world and even I could do that! ‘
Often criticized Brooklyn’s his latest project is based on a selection of his favorite comfort food dishes, including an English Breakfast Sandwich, which he made with his nanny Peggy, and a Chicken Tikka Masala.
In a new interview with Grazia, Brooklyn hinted at an upcoming project, saying, “Obviously it’s not nice when people say shit, but I’ve learned not to let it get to me. I’m used to it now. I’m going to prove them all wrong in April, just watch’.
Brooklyn’s love of cooking was inspired by “living in some pretty cool places” with his parents, who had homes in London, the Cotswolds, Madrid and Los Angeles.

Brooklyn announced the Uber news earlier this month. Speaking about his new venture, he told the Mail: ‘I’ve been lucky enough to live in some pretty cool places. I gave my wife an Indian and Chinese takeaway. She’s obsessed with it now.

‘I’ve always tried different foods, cuisines and cultures, but that was one of my first memories of loving cooking…
‘Spending time in the kitchen is definitely something my dad and I bond over… even though I think I make my English breakfast sandwich better, it’s quite tasty!’
The restaurant will be located in East London and will serve its famous Nanny Peggy’s breakfast sandwich.
The menu also includes a Chicken Tikka Masala, 12-hour slow-cooked Wagyu Bolognese, Pork and Prawn Dumplings and Buffalo Cauliflower with Brooklyn’s ‘secret’ hot sauce.
