David Beckham has been photographed in a hospital bed after his wife Victoria shared the picture on Instagram stories with the caption: “Get well soon daddy”.

The 50-year-old was pictured smiling with his arm in a blue sling while another photo showed him with a bracelet that read: “Get well soon”.

It comes after David was recently given a knighthood on the King’s Birthday Honours list this month.

The knighthood was finally confirmed for his services to sport and charity. After the news was announced, Victoria paid tribute to him on Instagram with a sweet photo of her planting a kiss on his cheek.

In the caption, she penned: “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!!

“What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.

“Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.

“The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday.

“But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx”.

His sons Cruz and Romeo also shared their pride in their own posts, with Romeo writing: “So so proud of you”.

Whilst Cruz added: “I’m so proud of you dad I love you. Sir David Beckham has a nice ring to it.”

David recently won his latest battle with neighbours regarding his countryside property in Chipping Norton, securing approval from local officials for a new addition. Planners have provided a “prior determination notification” confirming that David is permitted to build a barn for hay, straw, and agricultural equipment, despite some local disapproval.

The football icon aimed to get planning consent for the timber-clad outbuilding at his £6m Cotswolds home.

The reason for David’s hospital admission is unclear.
