Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were seen walking through Nice Airport by other holidaymakers. It’s thought that the pair may be visiting Brooklyn’s godfather, Elton John, who owns a villa in Nice. According to The Sun, Brooklyn, 27, was trying to keep a low profile while Nicola, 31, looked a little more confident. ‘He looked a bit nervous’ an onlooker told The Sun. ‘He kept looking around, but she appeared more laid-back and chilled. ‘Lots of people recognised them and were nudging each other as they came through the arrivals terminal with their luggage.’ The happy couple were taken through security and went on their way (Picture: Crash/Shutterstock) Reportedly, the pair didn’t have to wait long in the security queue, though. They were apparently taken right to the front and quickly went on their way. French firefighters and officials are currently battling dangerous wildfires that are burning across the south-west of the country. The BBC reports that 42,000 hectares have been burnt in that part of the country, forcing more than 220,000 people to evacuate.

One particular area of concern is the city of Bordeaux, where tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from the surrounding region. It’s believed that strong winds are pushing the flames towards the city, and an official has claimed that firefighters are ‘far from having the fire under control’. Captain Nicolas Braz, one of the leaders of the firefighters, has said that the flames are ‘erratic and unmanageable’. The south-west is particularly affected (Picture: Julien De Rosa/ AFP via Getty Images) Meanwhile, France’s Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said the situation in the region remained ‘very unfavourable’. The UK government is currently warning of wildfires ‘affecting parts of Gironde and Landes in the south-west of France.’ They note that authorities have evacuated campsites and tourist accommodation, and warn access to affected areas may be restricted. They warn that those planning to travel to the affected areas should follow the advice of local authorities, monitor local media, and check with their accommodation or travel provider before travelling.
