David Beckham called out wife Victoria for claiming to be 'working class' when she was growing up in the most hilarious way in their new Beckham docu-series. 

The football icon wasn't going to let his wife get away with claiming to have a 'working class' upbringing and made sure to set the record straight in a super funny moment in the doc. 

Victoria, of course, rose to fame primarily as her alter ego Posh Spice in the Spice Girls - and now has her very own fashion line, beauty line (Victoria Beckham Beauty), and continues to pursue other business ventures for herself.

In the series premiere of the doc, Victoria says in an interview that she believes she and David clicked for many reasons - one of them being growing up in "similar backgrounds".

"I think also we both come from families that work really hard. Both of our parents worked really hard. We’re very working class," she said.

David then pops his head into the frame, giving a look. 

"Be honest," he replies. 

"I am being honest," Victoria retorts. 

David then asks her to reveal on camera what model of car her dad used to drive her to school in. Victoria then gives an exasperated look. "It depends," she says. 

Finally, she reveals the answer to David's question, confessing, "OK, in the ’80s my dad had a Rolls Royce."

David then says, "Thank you!" and exits the room - seemingly proving his claim that VB wasn't as 'working class' as she thought. Her name is "Posh" Spice for a reason, after all.

Although the new Netflix series does not distinctly reveal the details of David's upbringing, a 2013 piece in the New York Times notes that his father was an electrical wholesaler. 

In the documentary, David and Victoria also touch on certain dilemmas they've had in their relationship throughout the years - primarily, the circulated rumours that he cheated on her while he played with Real Madrid in Spain in 2004. 

"Victoria is everything to me," he said in the final episode of the docu-series. "To see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters and at that time we needed to fight for each other. We needed to fight for our family. And what we had was worth fighting for."

She also said that time in their relationship was one of the most "unhappy" eras of her life. "It was probably, if I’m being honest, the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life. It wasn’t that I felt unheard because I chose to internalise a lot of it because I was always mindful of a focus that he needed," she said. 

Despite this resentment she built up, the two are still together, happily married and raising their four children, Brooklyn, 24, Romeo 21, Cruz, 18, and Harper, 12.
