On Monday, Brooklyn Beckham took everyone by surprise when he released a lengthy statement detailing the reasons why he was feuding with his family, and why he didn't intend to reconcile with them.
One of the biggest claims in the 26-year-old's statement was that he was left feeling "humiliated" when his mother, Victoria Beckham, "hijacked" his first dance and subsequently "danced very inappropriately on me".
One of the wedding guests, Stavros Agapiou, the husband of DJ Fat Tony, seemingly confirmed Brooklyn's version of events. The Tab reports that he wrote: "I was there, and she did; he's telling the truth." His comment now reads: "Good on him for finally speaking out!"
Fat Tony has now backed his husband's version of events, sharing a clip from hit BBC sitcom Motherland, of Amanda Hughes (Lucy Punch) performs a dance for parents at a school event. The DJ then added: "Actual video footage, it's true I was there!"
Fans in the comments loved the moment, with one saying: "If you can't dance like a lunatic and make a show of yourself at a family members wedding literally what are you doing with your life?!"
A second commented: "She's a Spice Girl. We should be applauding when she graces us with her dance moves," and a third teased: "AS A NATION WE NEED THE REAL THING – pull through Tony. Pull through."

January 19 - Brooklyn has broken his silence on the family feud rumours with a lengthy Instagram story. He shared his version of events with his 16 million followers and stated that he has no desire to reconcile with his parents.
Brooklyn's claims
In his post, Brooklyn penned: "In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
"She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."
The moment was enough to inspire the young couple's vow renewal, which Brooklyn explained in the post. He said: "We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment."
Brooklyn and Nicola's first wedding was covered by Vogue, and in their report, they stipulate that there was a separate moment at the wedding reception where Brooklyn "invited his mother on stage for a dance".

Brooklyn invited his mother on stage for a dance, and they were joined by David and their 10-year-old daughter, Harper."
As mentioned in the copy, the incident didn't take place during the first dance, which was to a cover of Elvis' Can't Help Falling In Love.
