David Beckham’s social media following has rocketed since the release of a Netflix documentary about his life, according to analysis.

The series from the Academy award-winning director Fisher Stevens, also famous for playing the PR sleazeball Hugo in Succession, explores the former England captain’s career and private life in four hour-long episodes. Topics include his relationship with the former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and his 24-year marriage to his wife, Victoria Beckham.
