Boozy Brooklyn Beckham celebrates David’s GQ Awards win harder than him, partying with Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Jamie Redknapp
IT might have been David Beckham’s proud night as he scooped the coveted Editor’s Special gong at the GQ Man Of The Year awards, but it was his eldest son Brooklyn who took decided to celebrate on his behalf.
While former footballer David and wife Victoria politely hobnobbed with A-listers then left the high-profile event at London’s Tate Modern before midnight, the wannabe photographer partied for another FOUR hours, hitting up THREE after-parties.
Posh told partygoers she had to leave because one of her other children was waiting in her car. She later posted a cute snap of her and her hubby cuddled up in the back seat.
But Brooklyn wasted no time getting stuck into his dad’s Haig whisky cocktails upstairs at the official bash — and chatting to a host of models.
The tireless party boy, who recently split from model girlfriend Hana Cross after a series of rows, then headed to Dua Lipa’s bash in West London at celeb hotspot The Chiltern Fire-house, where the cocktails cost up to £18 each.
An onlooker said: “Brooklyn was in good spirits.
“He sat at the bar chatting to a pretty brunette with a mate. They looked close and she was hanging on to his every word.”
Refreshed by the pitstop, Brooklyn then went to PR guru Matthew Freud’s star-studded house party at 2am, where he was joined by former flame Rita Ora, his dad’s old footie pal Jamie Redknapp and Charli XCX.
A partygoer said: “Brooklyn worked the room and was really friendly to everyone. He definitely made up for his parents’ absence and he seemed to having a laugh with everyone.”
Brooklyn was all partied out at 4am and headed home in a cab looking ready for bed. Good effort, mate.

Jean therapy for eata Ora
RITA Ora rarely buttons her mouth – and on Tuesday she didn’t button her trousers, either.
The singer was in jeans and this leopard-print bodysuit, but following a three-course meal, I don’t blame her for wanting to let herself go.
She later partied with Charli XCX, who wore a sheer gold mini-dress, before continuing the celebrations back at her house.
Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw joined her and posted videos on Instagram of the pair going through her extensive wardrobe and hair weaves . . . at 5.30am.
I prefer to end my night with a Big Mac, but each to their own.

WHILE Dua Lipa was across town launching her new clothing range with Pepe Jeans, her ex Isaac Carew was trying to get into someone else’s.
The model and chef hit on Capital Breakfast DJ Vick Hope at the official after-party.
I told this week how he had been growing close to film-maker Florence Kosky, but he was keeping his options open on Tuesday.
A pal said: “Isaac and Vick hit it off straight away.
He was following her around like a lost puppy and they were giggling by the bar. Vick is single and ready to mingle.”
Her next interview with Dua could be awkward . . .
Reese-ons to be cheerful, Nicole
AS well as some of Britain’s biggest celebrities, Hollywood’s finest were out in force on Tuesday, too.
Nicole Kidman flew in for the ceremony and revealed she and co-star Reese Witherspoon were in talks for a third series of their hit telly comedy drama Big Little Lies.
She told Sun executive editor Dan Wootton for ITV’s Lorraine: “Reese and I just spoke literally two days ago and we were going ‘Yeah…’
“I mean, we were both saying it’s one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. It’s not right now, but we’re definitely exploring it.”
Taron Egerton also addressed rumours he is set to follow Hugh Jackman’s lead and take a role as X-Men comic book character Wolverine.
He joked: “Following in the footsteps of someone like Hugh, who’s not only an incredible actor but also seems to have testosterone in abundance, maybe there are better candidates.”

He and pregnant girlfriend Anna Lundberg arrived as Aisling was having a picture taken, prompting him to swerve an awkward encounter.
Stormzy calm on ex Maya
MAYA Jama enjoys herself at Matthew Freud’s after-party – just three weeks after her split with award-winner Stormzy.
They avoided each other at the main do, where the rapper won the Solo Artist prize, but I’ve learned he told organisers he was fine with her being there.
A music source said: “The hosts wanted to ensure he was comfortable with his ex attending so checked in with him.
“He knows Maya is a pal of the mag and told them he was happy with her being there as long as they weren’t at the same table.”
Maya skipped his speech though, popping out to the smoking area with Charli XCX. The grime star made the most of the free bar, then pals helped him to his car just before midnight.
At least he had a good night’s sleep.

She said: “Victoria told me she was a big fan and watches with David. I’m shocked.”
Her “hot priest” co-star Andrew Scott was there too and got into a taxi home shouting: “Anyone need a lift?”
I’m sure thousands of fans would’ve been keen on his offer . . .
