David Beckham posts throwback Red Nose Day picture with wife Victoria as he shares his favourite Comic Relief moments hours before the annual charity fundraiser’s 40th birthday
David Beckham took to Instagram on Friday to share his favourite Comic Relief moments from over the years, just hours before the annual charity fundraiser celebrates its 40th birthday.
The star posed with his wife Victoria, 50, in a fun snap to mark the occasion with the pair both wearing Red Noses and the former footballer, 49, sticking his tongue out.
He also posted a series of throwback clips and pictures of some memorable Comic Relief skits in which he has starred.
One was a look back on the Beckham In Peckham scene, a 10-minute Only Fools In Horses special which aired in 2014.
It saw David Jason reprise his role as Del Boy in the classic comedy, as he was joined by iconic sidekick Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst).
The sketch involved the sitcom duo up to their old tricks and attempting to sell some underwear, on the recommendation of football star David.
It was all going well until the former England captain signed a ball for a local boy, which soon led to his cover being blown.
As David appeared to collapse to the floor, Del Boy and Rodney repeated their classic catchphrase: ‘You plonker!’
Another classic clip saw James Corden play the role of Smithy from Gavin And Stacey as he laid into the England football team in 2009.
David was joined by Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Peter Crouch, Rio Ferdinand, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Michael Carrick and David James on the receiving end of the actor’s wrath.
In a second clip from James’s appearance, David could be seen reading a Spanish newspaper – in reference to the footballer’s club Real Madrid – as the comedian gave him a haircut and painted his nails.
The duo, both sporting bath robes, then joined forces in making a flower arrangement before David gifted his pal a pink rose and James kissed him on the head.
