He's a former professional athlete, and a man who looks like he looks after himself (to say the least).

But a spirited 16-year-old Brooklyn Beckham couldn't help but take on famous dad David in a wrestling match yesterday evening. 

The 40-year-old even posted a snap to his Instagram account where he boasted that he'd beaten his eldest son "again".

"Just a normal Sunday in the Beckham household," he began. "Master Brooklyn trying to take on 40 year old dad and losing again."

Mr Beckham also included a series of hashtags, including #dontmesswithdad #nexttimeson.

Still, Brooklyn wasn't about to take the slight lying down. In fact, he retaliated with his own snap which showed him in a more victorious pose.

"In your dreams, dad," he playfully captioned the snap. 

Though if fan-reaction is anything to go by, David is definitely the winner today: his picture notched up 850,000 likes of approval on Instagram versus Brooklyn's 525,000.

Victoria and David Beckham have been eyeing up a second UK home in the picturesque Cotswolds, according to new reports.

The couple, who made a permanent move back to London in 2014 after David's retirement from LA Galaxy, already have one home in central London.

But it seems they're in the market for a country abode, and this nine-hectare estate in Gloucestershire is currently the front-runner.

With a guide price of €7.3million it certainly doesn't come cheap, but looking at the pictures we're already sold.

Amberley House is a period 1640 manor house, set in sprawling tree-lined gardens near the village of Stroud.

As well as eight bedrooms and a grand total of seven bathrooms, the mansion also boasts tennis courts, an infinity pool and even stables, should little Harper decide to take up horse-riding.

Although nothing has been confirmed yet, David and Victoria were pictured with fans in nearby Nailsworth last month, and have even been spotted by locals in Stroud on two occasions.

The couple are currently renting in central London while their palatial home in the area – worth a staggering €42.5million – is being refurbished.

Here's a look at their potential second home in England:

She the adorable only daughter and youngest child of pretty much the hottest couple on the planet – so it's no surprise that Harper Beckham is quite the cutie herself.

Indeed, and although she's still only four, she's become something of a mini-fashionista in her own right, certainly giving North West and Penelope Disick a serious run for their stylish money.

Key to the little one's look, of course, is her mop of gorgeous blonde hair – which at this stage reaches down to her bum.

Now her dad, David, has spoken of his love of her look, stating that he simply won't allow a barber's scissors anywhere near her locks.

In conversation with Yahoo! Style to promote his new H&M campaign, the former footballer revealed: "About a year ago, my wife said, 'Maybe we should cut Harper’s hair.' 

"And I was like, 'No! We need to grow it. Do. Not. Touch.'"

In fact, despite now being four – a birthday she marked in July – the youngster has NEVER had her hair chopped. 

"Since she was born, we haven’t cut it," David admitted. "That’s why it’s pretty much down to her knees."

Noting that his mother, Sandra, used to be a hair stylist, the 40-year-old furthermore revealed that she sadly didn't pass on any tips to him. Still, that hasn't stopped him from tackling his sons' unruly manes.

"I do cut my sons’ hair from time-to-time. When they have a buzz cut, I do it.

"If I have to use scissors, the boys know not to ask."

David Beckham was close to tears as he recalled the death of a four-year old girl in the Philippines when he spoke at the United Nations.

The father of four said that he was really affected by the story of Viana who was taken from her father’s arms and later drowned when they were caught in the 2013 typhoon.

The retired soccer star is a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador and recalled how he had spoken to the young girl’s family, including her sister Venus, who had managed to survive the disaster.

''On the night the typhoon hit the family were on their roof trying to protect themselves. The mother, tired, scared, exhausted, said to the father, can you please take Viana, so the father did,” he explained.

David was said to have struggled to maintain his composure as he recalled how the young girl’s father was knocked from the roof by a wave and when he woke was holding only one of his daughters.

“That story will never leave me,” he told the crowd.

He gave his speech at the launch of Voices of Youth, a global community of youth bloggers giving young people the opportunity to learn about development issues.

He told those present his wish for children around the world:

“I want a world where children can grow up safe from war, violence, poverty and preventable disease – don't you?"

Victoria Beckham must have been quite embarrassed this week as not only did her son get thrown out of a nightclub but she also stepped out of her Dover street store at 3.45am with a really weird wet patch on her groin.

The incident took place on Tuesday night, where she was celebrating the one year anniversary of her London clothing store. 

The fashion mogul left her party, clutching husband David Beckham very tightly, as the paparazzi snapped away. 

But now Victoria's rep made a statement about the dodgy incident: 

"This was simply the result of the most unfortunate positioning of a spilt drink, whilst Victoria was sitting down – thankfully it was not a 'dampener' on what was a fantastic night."

Fair enough Vicky, all the gossip can stop now!

Being a celebrity teenager might win you invites to all the best parties, but it also means you've literally no chance of getting away with lies about your age.

16-year-old Brooklyn Beckham learnt that the hard way this week when he was turned away from a London nightclub for being underage.

The teen rocked up to Drama nightclub in Mayfair for Wonderland magazine's tenth anniversary bash, but was refused entry by bouncers at the door.

Despite pleas from his pal Nick Grimshaw – who arrived to the party with him – poor Brooklyn was escorted off the premises shortly after. 

To make things even worse for David and Victoria's son, another 16-year-old had been let into the event without question earlier on in the evening. Teenage soul singer Talia Storm was spotted inside the club hanging with Little Mix. Stinger.

Eyewitnesses said Brooklyn wasn't "best pleased" with the turn of events, but a rep for the Beckham family insists he didn't put up a fuss.

"He was invited to the Wonderland party – but when he turned up they had to explain even though he had been invited their licensing rules meant he had to be over 18. All fine no drama."

Luckily for Brooklyn, there was another party on that evening that he definitely couldn't be turned away from – his mum Victoria's party at her Dover Street store to celebrate one year of business.

Let's face it – she's pretty much perfect.

After all, Victoria Beckham has made her own millions, is a style icon, has a perfect family and an amazing career – not to mention that gorgeous husband she's been married to for more than a decade-and-a-half. 

Which is why we did a double-take when we spotted the designer with a large, mysteriously wet patch around her groin area.

Forming a perfectly oval stain, it certainly seemed like the 41-year-old didn't quite make it to the bathroom on time.

However, not least for someone so very prim and proper (she wasn't called Posh Spice for nothing) we're sure the dark area is the result of a spilled drink – something which was perhaps then exaggerated by the waiting photogs' camera flashes. 

Victoria and David were socialising at her central London flagship outlet – hosting a swish party to mark the one-year anniversary of the store's launch.

A-list invitees included the likes of Ellie Goulding, Naomi Campbell, Jade Jagger and Noel Gallagher.

Clearly in the mood to celebrate, the Beckhams left at 2.40am, with Ms Beckham taking a bit of a tumble on the steps outside the Dover St boutique. 

Luckily, David was on-hand to catch her – though we hope she's since had the chance to get those stained trousers dry-cleaned.

With nearly 4.4m followers on Instagram, Brooklyn Beckham is a social media star in his own right. 

But that doesn't mean the young model goes without rules from his parents. 

Oh no, David Beckham has revealed that he and his wife, Victoria, keep a strict eye on his social media accounts. They monitor and approve everything Brooklyn posts on Twitter and Instagram.

"Our 16-year-old son, Brooklyn, he's got like 4 million Instagram followers," David Beckham told ABC News

"We control everything that he posts, everything that he does, and it's the same with our other kids."

He also admitted that Victoria is "the strict one in the house"—so perhaps dad is the parent Brooklyn goes to for sign-off any shirtless pics like this one.

Talk about a proud hubby.

David Beckham was sitting front and centre beside Anna Wintour at his wife Victoria's New York Fashion Week show, and he couldn't have looked any happier to be there. 

16-year-old Brooklyn also came along to support his mum, but for once it wasn't any of the Beckham kids that had us saying 'aaaaw.' Behold, the grown man's smile that will melt your heart:

Dressed smartly in a brown suit and white shirt, David seemed totally at home amongst the fashion elite, though he didn't forget his signature flat cap.

Taking to Instagram after the show, David seemed elated by his wife's success, writing "Amazing show" alongside a loveheart emoji and a picture of the models' final strut down the catwalk.

 

Amazing show @victoriabeckham

Brooklyn also posted on social media earlier in the day, sharing a picture of the empty Meat Packing District venue with the caption, "Good luck mum."

The new collection features a bold jewel-toned palette with lots of vibrant prints – a first for Victoria, who said she was "excited" to introduce more colour and texture.

The 41-year-old's show also introduced the 'half moon bag,' a gorgeous oversized leather tote which we predict will be next season's most coveted arm candy.

Speaking about the new collection – and her brand ethos – after the show, Victoria said she hoped it would have a wide appeal.

"It’s a collection for all shapes and sizes — I always say it, but I just want women to feel like the best versions of themselves."

It seems David has the upper hand with this one!

Victoria Beckham has revealed that her daughter, Harper, has no desire to follow her mother into fashion – and wants to be a footballer instead. 

Speaking to ABC Good Morning America, the designer said it was a "dagger through the heart" when Harper, four, recently told her mother that she wants to play football.

The former Spice Girl said that she already has three sons that play football and to her dismay, her baby girl has become a tomboy. 

"She loves fashion as all little girls do, she loves putting makeup on and playing with my shoes… but she's a tomboy, she has three brothers."

"She said to me the other day: 'Mummy I think I want to play football.' (It was) a dagger through the heart. I have three boys who want to play football, come on, let one of them want to be in fashion!"

On the TV show, Victoria was described as a "Vogue Mom" as she appears on front covers of magazines while rising her family which include Harper, Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 13 and Cruz, 10. 

Her only hopeful so far is Brooklyn, having recently modelled for Miss Vogue. 

Meanwhile, this week Victoria revealed her latest collection at New York Fashion Week, for which she was given rave reviews. 

Mrs Beckham admitted that being in the Spice Girls prejudiced people against her when she first became a designer. 

"People did have preconceptions and I expected that but I wasn't out to prove anybody wrong, I just wanted to prove to myself I could do it".

After much speculation it was announced this week that Grammy winner Sam Smith will be the artist to take over the latest Bond theme song.

Writing’s On The Wall is to be released later this month. However, there is still plenty of speculation surrounding who will be cast as the next leading man himself.

David Beckham has apparently become a favourite of the public. Since his latest foray into the acting world in pal Guy Ritchie’s latest film, fans have been eager to see him take on the famous 007 role.

There was also much controversy when actor Idris Elba was deemed ‘too street’ by Bond author Anthony Horowitz.

“For me, Idris Elba is a bit too rough to play the part. It’s not a color issue. I think he is probably a bit too ‘street’ for Bond. Is it a question of being suave? Yeah.”

He later apologised for his remarks and said he was “mortified to have caused offence.” On his own Instagram page Idris posted a screenshot of the article the remark appeared in with the caption: “Always keep smiling!! It takes no energy and never hurts! Learned that from the Street!!”

Now it seems that one pop star fancies herself as the one to step into the secret agent’s shoes.

Posting a selfie on her Instagram page as she flexed in the mirror, Ellie joked she was very excited to reveal that she was the next Bond.

 

So excited to announce that I am the next James Bond x

The singer is already the face of a Nike campaign, and she has the abs to prove it. Dressed in a sports bra and tiny black shorts (Nike, naturally), the star looks incredibly fit as she shows off her hard earned physique.

Not that we’re all that surprised seeing as she’s been keeping busy all summer long as she performs on the summer festival circuit. However, a performance scheduled for October seems to have caused some issues.

Ellie is supposed to perform at the AFL Grand Final in Melbourne, but organisers for the event have landed themselves in hot water after they booked mostly British acts instead of more local performers.

Aw, this is cute!

It was David Beckham's son Romeo's 13th birthday last week and the teenager was given a pretty exciting gift by his dad. 

Romeo led England out at Wembley – the home of English football – guided by the captain of the team, Wayne Rooney, who was there to give the kiddo a few words of wisdom ahead of the match. 

The 13-year-old played the part of England's lead mascot for their match against Switzerland, and the boy looked pretty happy to be there. 

Of course, David pulled a few strings with the FA to make it all happen! 

And while he might not be playing in the match (yet) he at least followed in his father's footsteps by donning the English jersey, walking out on Wembley turf and singing their national anthem. 

And as you can see on David's face, he was pretty cheerful to see his son on the field.
