Updated 04/05/20: Victoria Beckham has taken us back to her Spice Girls days by joining in a family singalong to celebrate David Beckham’s birthday.
On Saturday, the father-of-four turned 45 and his wife marked the special occasion by sharing a short video on Instagram of herself and her three youngest children – Harper, Cruz and Romeo – singing 'happy birthday' to the former footballer. The couple's eldest son Brooklyn in currently in the US.
In the clip, which sees David listening to the tune and blowing out his candles, Harper and Victoria can be heard predominantly singing the famous birthday song.

'Little bit more upbeat,' the star jokes as his family increase the volume of their singing.
Victoria also shared several throwback photos and video of the couple from before their marriage in 1999 up until the present day.
The song ‘Long Train Runnin’’ by the Doobie Brothers plays in the background of the clip, which we presume must be a family favourite.
In the clip, David can be seen singing with Marc Anthony, driving with his daughter, Cruz and Romeo playing guitar, Harper walking as a toddler, Brooklyn surprising the former athlete on his birthday last year and his ‘Love’ tattoo on his hand.
The couple’s famous children also shared photos on their dad’s birthday.
Victoria Beckham has followed in Emma Watson’s footsteps this week and shared a series of childhood photos of herself to celebrate her birthday.
On Friday, the fashion designer turned 47 years old and took to Instagram to share her appreciation for being able to spend her big day with her immediate family – minus her eldest son Brooklyn who is in the US – during the coronavirus pandemic.
‘It’s my birthday. Perhaps a stranger birthday than usual,’ she captioned a series of photos on Instagram.
‘But I am so grateful to be safe and well and with @davidbeckham @cruzbeckham @romeobeckham #HarperSeven while missing @brooklynbeckham and all my family I can’t be with today. I know we will all be dancing together in spirit to my playlist tonight!’
The clip includes snaps of the famous British star as a child on holiday, playing in paddling pools, sporting a matching pair of wellies and a red mackintosh coat, eating ice creams and posing for the camera on the beach.
The video plays to the 1996 hit Spice Girls tune ‘Who Do You Think You Are’.
Ahead of her birthday, Beckham shared photographs on her Instagram Stories of her working remotely with her fashion design team in the sunshine and swatches of fabric, presumably as they prepare for the next season of designs.
In recent weeks, the Beckham family have kept their fans up-to-date with their activities during the nationwide lockdown during the pandemic.
The family have enjoyed film nights, baking and exercise together.
Last month, the family also gathered to show their appreciate for NHS staff and caregivers who are working tirelessly during the health crisis by taking part in the #ClapForCarers initiative.
Earlier this week, Watson celebrated turning 30 by sharing a photograph of herself on Instagram fast asleep as a tot.
Keep the throwback photos coming, guys!
