Louisa’s ex factor
Not So Good, hiding pain of split My mate Becks called me Shrek Olly given ‘bum’s rush’ by twin Ben
I’m a terrible singer and I was singing at a festival and I forgot the autotune was on bypass. I am going crazy on the mic then I’m going ‘oh my god that’s my voice’. I’m still ashamed.
I’m here with my friend Winnie Harlow. She’s a new pal but we’re having so much fun.
I use a portaloo at festivals and I don’t really camp.
My spies tell me Winnie was letting loose side of stage for David’s gig – he says she’s a “friend”, but could this be a new romance? I’m loving the bitchy bromance between James Corden and David Beckham.
This week, Becks appeared on The Late Late Show, and the pair performed a hilarious sketch that saw them audition for the role of James Bond.

But I can reveal the singer has split with her Essex beau, Daniel Elliott, 20, after two years together.
Louisa put on a brave face yesterday as she performed at Capital FM’S Summertime Ball. But she tells me: “We aren’t together any more. I’m single. I’m not going into it but I’m chilled.”
And she could do a Taylor Swift by talking about the break-up in X Factor winner with Daniel the part and Becks joked that James looked like Shrek. Ouch! Later Becks, 42, admitted he wouldn’t continue acting, which is probably for the best. He was recently slated for his debut role in King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword. The footie king told James: “It’s not my profession. I like to do things like that with you – other than that, probably not.”
James, 38, was back in the UK to film some special episodes. I caught up with my fave telly host on Thursday, ahead of recording at Central Hall Westminster.
He told me he could never take acting advice from Becks, saying: “We chat about theatre, but David’s favourite theatre shows are musicals. So I can’t be taking tips from him.” I catch up with Liam her next record. She says: “In my next material I want to show my sensitive side.”
They first met in a restaurant while Louisa, 19, was on The X Factor in 2015. A year ago, they moved into a flat in Essex and clocked up air miles on romantic getaways, including the Bahamas.
In February, when asked if he was The One, she said: “Definitely. We’ve got so much in common. He’s great, I love him.”
She’s faced more disappointment as her debut album has been delayed and new single, Unpredictable, with Olly Murs, charted at number 71 on Friday.
With so many ups and downs in Blighty, she admits she’s thought about relocating. She told how she can see herself “living in LA” adding: “The lifestyle is totally chilled.” Liam Payne rehearsed his Summertime Ball performance in front of Cheryl and baby Bear ahead of his solo gig. He tells me: “We did it in the gym at home. I like her to check things because she’s an amazing performer. It’s nice to have someone who is a pro at home.” He also added: “Bear learned to giggle for the first time too.” Liam arrived at Wembley Stadium where his former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan was also on the bill. Stormzy, Bruno Mars, Ella Eyre, Clean Bandit and James Arthur also took to the stage. James revealed he is looking for an LA film agent... Olly Murs reached out for a reunion with his twin brother this week but has been snubbed. Again.
The singer spoke out last week in the hope of mending bridges with sibling Ben.
The pair fell out in 2009 when Olly, 33, missed his twin’s wedding because he was performing on The X Factor.
But after a bum-off with me backstage at Wembley Stadium, Olly says: “No I’ve not heard anything. He may have got in touch with my mum but she hasn’t said anything. The whole situation is just sad really.”
