Their own show ‘Beckham’ got five Emmy nominations….
David Beckham told Hello!: “Making this series was such a personal journey, a love letter to football and my family. It has been overwhelming for me and Victoria that we have had such a warm and positive response to the series.”
The show was famous for one particular scene in which Victoria described having a working-class upbringing only for David to put his head around the door and tell her to “be honest” about the fact she was driven to school in a luxury Rolls-Royce.
