Brooklyn Beckham has been roasted by a top celebrity chef – for sticking burnt bacon on a carbonara.
The 26-year-old made the culinary faux pas in a clip shared on social media. Last night Italian chef Aldo Zilli blasted: “Nowadays every celebrity is jumping on the cooking bandwagon. Burning guanciale [bacon lardons] would cause it to become bitter, hard and make the carbonara taste terrible – maybe he needs a masterclass from Aldo Zilli! Stop changing recipes!”
Zilli, 69, who specialises in Italian cuisine, was among hundreds to criticise the Beckham star, with one fan adding: “As an Italian.. no. That cheek is burnt.” But Brooklyn hit back: “Guanciale has a lot of sugar in and that’s why it’s darker. I slow cooked it so it’s not burned.” It comes after reports of Victoria Beckham’s four-word comment to Geri Horner amid Spice Girls ‘feud’.

It’s not the Beckham star’s first culinary gaffe. Last year, he was slammed for serving up blackened pizza in a clip plugging his new hot sauce, Cloud9. And he was branded “unhygienic” for using sea water to make a pasta dish. His now defunct YouTube show Cookin with Brooklyn reportedly cost £74K per episode to produce.
Brooklyn, now estranged from parents David and Victoria, renewed his vows to wife Nicola Peltz, 30, last week. A source said: “This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.”
Back in June, Brooklyn shared a memory of the day he proposed to Nicola in 2019. At the time of the couple’s third wedding anniversary in April, neither Victoria or David publicly wished the pair a happy anniversary which, according to reports, was unusual considering they are both avid social media users.

The family feud intensified when Brooklyn failed to attend any his dad’s 50th birthday parties in May. And highlighting the estrangement further, Brooklyn happily posted a birthday message to his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz. At the time he wrote: “Happy birthday Nelson x We love you.”
Aldo Zilli specialises in Italian, vegetarian and seafood cuisine. He has written over 10 books, including two autobiographies, and has appeared as a guest chef on many cookery and lifestyle TV shows. In 2009, he set the world record for the most times a pancake is flipped in a minute by flipping it 117 times.
