    Elsewhere, the stars of Ted Lasso made sure their final awards season for the much loved Apple TV+ show went out in style with a collection of iconic looks.
    Hannah Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond boss Rebecca on the show, wore a blood red boatneck dress with a thigh high split and her hair swept into an updo.
    In contrast, Juno Temple left her tightly curled hair loose in a navy blue gown.
    Sadly, the cast went home empty-handed as Disney+ and Hulu’s The Bear swept the comedy category.
    The series – which centres on a struggling restaurant in Chicago – saw Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edibiri both take home awards for their performances, with the cast also getting a collective gong as well.

    Ted Lasso wasn’t the only notable snub from the evening’s celebrations – with Succession, which ended its four-season run las year – going home with only one award despite being tipped to win big.
    The cast of Modern Family reunited on stage in order to present the team with the best cast award in a television drama, but apart from that all other awards evaded them.
    Kieran Culkin, who was expected to win for outstanding male performance in a drama for his portrayal of Roman Roy, was beaten by Pedro Pascal for The Last Of Us.
    Even Pedro himself admitted he wasn’t expected to win, telling the audience he was already drunk when he had to go up on stage because he thought he could drink.

    Cruz, who had his first tattoo at 16, headed to tattooist of the stars – Certified Letter Boy – to get the same portrait of Jesus that David has.
    He even had the inking – known as the The Man of Sorrows – on his torso, just like his dad.
    The artist, who works at The London Social,  shared a picture of the new piece and wrote: “@cruzbeckham matching tatt with @davidbeckham. Honoured to recreate this Jesus piece for you bro.”
    The Beckham boys – Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – previously visited to the studio to get the word Brotherhood tattooed on themselves.
    Read More on Cruz Beckham
    Dad David paid tribute to Cruz to mark his birthday this week and wrote: “Happy birthday to my little man. The cheekiest with the kindest heart. Keep being you and keep believing in your dream and working as hard as you do. We love you so much Cruzie and are so proud of you.”
    Mum Victoria shared her own post, commenting: “Happy birthday Cruzie. We all love you so much and are so proud of the incredible young man you have become. Sweet, kind and incredibly talented.
    “The world is your oyster, go get it!”
    David previously revealed he had tried to get his kids not to have tattoos.
    Most read in Celebrity
    He said: “They’ve already said they’re having tattoos done. And I said, ‘Well, be different, don’t have any tattoos.’
    “And they said, ‘No, we’re going to have one. We’re going to have: Mum and Dad.’ So I can’t really say no to that.”
    But his son Brooklyn was the first to follow in his footsteps and since turning 18, he already has over 100 tattoos.
    David revealed his only rule was that Brooklyn had to wait for him to be there for his first inking.
    He said on The Late Late Show: “I’ve always said to him ‘Your first tattoo, if you’re going to have one, I want to be there’.”
    Brooklyn tried to break the rules though, with David recalling: “My friend called me and said ‘Brooklyn’s in the tattoo shop you should probably call him.’ So I called him.
    “I said ‘What you doing, mate?’ And he said, ‘I’m just going for dinner’ and I was like ‘Are you sure you’re going for dinner?’.”
    He finally admitted what he was doing and his dad reminded him: “But you remember, you promised me and I’m your dad. And I would feel really upset if you actually went through with it.’ So he didn’t. So, thankfully he waited.”
