Back in 2023, ex Manchester United ace David told how the Spice Girl, 50, will only ever have grilled fish and steamed veg, admitting the one time she did try something else was "one of his favourite evenings."

Now he has told how she mixes things up with different shellfish and veggies.

David told Rio on his show, Rio Ferdinand Presents: "Victoria always loves, she loves grilled shrimp, so for starter, I'd make her some grilled shrimp with avocado and then for a main I would make a sea bass, but I'd salt bake it."

Rio then asked: "And then for dessert, what would she have for dessert?"

David added: "I'm not sure she'd have a dessert actually.

"So that's what I'd make for her and then for me I'd make a nice ragu with fresh pasta."

Victoria's dinner preferences have been the subject of much speculation since keen chef David's confessions.

Discussing his wife’s eating habits on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast in 2022, he explained: “I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it.

“Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.

“Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.”

HOME COOKING

David told the same podcast his love for whipping up a storm in the kitchen came from his mum.

He told fellow England teammate Rio: "Do you know what? It all comes from my mum. You know, that's really where.

What do David Beckham’s tattoos mean?

Hands

Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side.

This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid.

On his little finger, he has the year he was married.

Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper.

The devoted husband has "Posh” tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham's Spice Girls nickname.

Arms

Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria.

The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit.

Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.

The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine".

Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary.

Neck

One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings.

It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings.

Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck.

This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday.

Back

Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons.

He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them.

Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz's names inked across his back.

Body

Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.

The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as “Death and life have determined appointments".

Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has.

"My mum used to let me cook with her when I was young.

"And then obviously when I moved to Manchester and I moved in my own house, you know, I cooked. And I love cooking….

"But you know what? I love the cooking side, but I think more importantly, I think when I've looked back at why I love it so much, is because I'm creating something for whoever's going to eat it."
