I hate the new M&S Christmas advert...

It seems I'm on a X Factor trashing mission at the moment, which honestly I'm not, but I really have to say how much I dislike the show taking over the best thing about Christmas.

Yes, M&S in their wisdom have ditched the big name celebs, catchy dance tunes and gorgeous clothes for the X factor finalists all in black singing a pretty soppy tune.

I am gutted. Seriously gutted that this is the route M&S have gone down this year- it just doesn't say Christmas to me, nor does it say M&S quality.

Previous years have seen Antonio Banderas, Wallis & Gromit, Dame Shirley Bassey, David Beckham and Peter Kay all make appearances in the amazing adverts, which for many, as the executive director of marketing at Marks and Spencer rightly pointed out, 'mark the start of Christmas'.

Last year's M&S offerings was one of my favourite to date, as we had Danni Minogue and Lisa Snowdon singing into their hairbrushes, while Peter Kay danced, quite literally on ice.

After main competitor, John Lewis had a sneaky success with Ellie Goulding last year, I'm really looking forward to seeing what they pull out of the bag for this seasonal offering.

Chances are, it can't be any worse than this. Oh well, at least I have the Coca Cola advert to cheer me up...

Victoria & David Beckham at the Royal Wedding!

Forget the Queen and Kate Middleton, I was personally all about seeing the Beckhams arrive today, and arrive they just have.

Victoria looking elegant in what looks like a navy blue shift dress, rumoured to be from her own line, complete with Philip Treacy hat and custom made Louboutins.

I wasn't sure when I first saw it, as it looked pretty plain, but the more she appeared pouting on my screens, the more I took to it. Simple and sophisticated- very clever VB.

David just looked like David Beckham always looks- drop dead gorgeous. He killed that Ralph Lauren suit, and with his slicked back hair and strong features, he is arguably the best looking fella in the Abbey at the moment.

Prince William and Prince Harry are yet to arrive however!

Romeo Beckham takes first fashion steps!

With a designer for a mum and a total hottie for a dad, it makes sense that Romeo Beckham has now taken his first steps to fashion stardom.

The fact that he's only eight years old shouldn't factor into it at all right?! Ok, so I find that a bit strange...

Then again, when you've got four year old Suri Cruise helping her mum design a range of clothes and Lourdes debuting her range with Madge, maybe Romeo designing his own sunnies collection isn't that big of a deal.

A source told The Mirror: "Romeo has a real eye for fashion.

"He has strong opinions on what works and what doesn't, and has been badgering David and Victoria for months about designing his own sunglasses.

"The glasses are made especially for children and will have a cool 'RB' motif on one arm. The range was originally going to be called Bambino Beckham.

"Both Victoria and David are delighted."

Well, If I was a tween I'd certainly buy them! Here's to a whole Romeo range by the end of next year!
