Victoria Beckham tips David Beckham for career move as family get competitive over Christmas tradition

Victoria Beckham appeared to have swapped her former footballer husband for a cowboy as she tipped him for a new career. The fashion designer took to Instagram with a video of David as he dressed up like a cowboy.

The former Manchester United star also posted his own snaps of himself in a cowboy hat and plaid shirt. While sipping on a glass of whiskey, David asked his millions of follers: "What’s my new favourite TV series?" before adding a horse emoji. He could been seen sat in the garden of their home in a video posted by wife Victoria.

And it appears the former Spice Girl had the answer to his question. As he sat alone in a wooden chair, with added puffer gillet, Victoria filmed him before posting the video on Instgaram and writing: "My very own cowboy! @DavidBeckham sees himself as a bit of a method actor!"

She then added: "Give this man a role @KevinCostnermodernwest @Yellowstone," referring to the American TV series which has just returned for a fifth season in November and stars the award-winning actor. And Victoria even added the show's theme tune to the video for added effect.

But it was soon time for more pressing matters and still in his cowboy-inspired attire, David went head-to-head with Victoria in a bid to make the best gingerbread houses alongsdie daughter, Harper. And it definitely got competitive.

Speaking in a video posted to her Instagram Story, Victoria, who could be seen in a grey jumper and beanie hat, said: "So today we are making gingerbread houses, me, Harper and David. I'm not good in the kitchen but trying to get in the Christmas spirit - let's see how I do."

She then added: "Expect the worst and then maybe it will be a nice surprise," before returning to give an update on the peices of the edible houses after they had been decorated but before they had been erected.

Harper, 11, couldn't wait to show off her masterpiece which had been covered in pink icing and decorated with pink and white sweets and sprinkles, whilst David also put in a sterling effort, opting for pink and yellow icing. "It's not about 'taking part'," Victorie penned alongside the clip. "It's about who wins."

She also showed off her own design, using melted boiled sweets to create a stain glass window display with additional icing piped into stars with added green sweets. In a separate Instagram story, the singer-turned-fashion-designer confirmed that they are "a very competitive family FYI!!!" along with a crying laughing emoji.

And while Victoria admitted that their youngest child has the “best” gingerbread house of them all, and would win the family's gingerbread competition, she did maintain that she’s “very confident” her gingerbread house will be better than David's.

"I'm very confident that my gingerbread house is going to be better than David's," she said as she spoke to the camera. "Harper's will be better than both of them..." she added as Harper interrupted to show off her gingerbread person that she had named 'Barbra'. "Harper's is obviously going to be the best but out of me and David, 100% I'm going to win. I'm not even quietly confident, I'm very confident."

Her final two Instagram stories showed the finished gingerbread house creations before she shared a single shot of her own, writing: "Feeling very accomplished! Think I won @davidbeckham."
