The retired soccer star, 40, has four children with his fashion designer wife Victoria, 44 - Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 10, and Harper, four - and he's revealed the family will be spending the special day at home in London.

He shared: "I think like every other person's Christmas it will be very normal. We open presents, we enjoy ourselves, we have a traditional Christmas dinner. So we're exactly the same!

"We spend Christmas in London so we are very traditional."

Meanwhile, David also insisted he has no concerns over what to buy his wife for Christmas, having become familiar with her likes and dislikes over the course of their 16-year marriage.

Asked if Victoria was difficult to shop for, he told the BBC: "She's not actually. I think when you've been with someone for so long, people do say that.

"They turn round and say, 'It must be so difficult to buy for Victoria' because she has a lot of things you'd think about going to buy for your wife or your girlfriend.

"But actually I know her so well and I know the simple things she likes and enjoys, so she's okay to buy for."
