Lorraine Kelly has slammed the 'utterly bizarre' lawsuit between Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz family against their wedding planners.
The details of the celebrity wedding extravaganza are being laid out in a courtroom after billionaire Nelson Peltz, 80, launched legal action against the owners of Plan Design Events, Nicole Braghin and Arianna Grijalba, after they failed to return his huge deposit for his daughter's big day last year.
Nicola, 28, tied the knot with Brooklyn, 23, at the Peltz Miami estate last April in a lavish ceremony spanning three days but the event is now being overshadowed by the family's current legal action. Discussing the latest revelations in court with showbiz correspondent Ross King and entertainment editor Lucie Cave, Lorraine, 63, slammed the situation as 'bizarre'.
Nelson is suing Plan Design Events, despite hiring them just six weeks before the wedding, for refusing to refund his $159,000 ( £132,000) deposit after they were fired. Now the pair filed a countersuit against him, accusing the family of poor communication and of making a number of difficult demands on short notice.
Explaining the situation to viewers, Lucie detailed Nelson's original lawsuit and the company's counterclaim against himself, Nicola and her mum Claudia. Flabbergasted that the billionaire was adamant to get his deposit sum back, Lorraine quipped: "Ok, but then he is one of the richest people in the world - would you not just suck it up rather than having all of this in the public domain?"
Lucie added: "You'd think that they'd learn, anytime anyone files a lawsuit - look at Rebekah Vardy - everything comes out in public and it has in full force."
Lucie continued to detail claims that have emerged in the countersuit,
