David Beckham recently stepped into the culinary spotlight, showcasing his skills to none other than renowned chef Gordon Ramsay.

The 50-year-old former football star and the 59-year-old celebrity chef, who have maintained a close friendship for two decades, have embarked on an exciting collaboration. Together, they’re launching a new meal box venture.

Ramsay, known for his ‘five-star recipes’ with Real Home Chef, has invited Beckham to join the project. Beckham’s own BEEUP fruit snacks will now be featured in these meal kits.

On Saturday, Beckham took to Instagram to share a video of himself preparing a Scallop Truffle Risotto. This dish, part of the new collaboration, was sent to him by Ramsay and mirrors the style of Beckham’s son Brooklyn’s popular cooking videos.

During the Instagram post, the duo connected via FaceTime, allowing Ramsay to guide and oversee Beckham’s culinary efforts.

“Look what just arrived at my house. What have you sent me?” Beckham inquired, to which Ramsay humorously responded, “It’s a little gift from chef to chef.”

Referencing Gordon’s serious face on the side of the box, David quipped: ‘You could have smiled by the way.’

Gordon replied: That is me smiling, sorry [laughs]. Inside that box is a five star recipe of a beautiful scallop truffle risotto, which I know you love.’

‘That’s very true actually. Okay so risotto, watch and learn,’ David said.

As the former footballer started cooking the luxurious meal, David was quick to ask for advice how his scallops were coming along – and star Chef Gordon was pleasantly surprised.  

Gordon replied: ‘They are looking beautiful. Great sear by the way. Belissimo!’

‘I’ve had a good teacher. All done mate, finishing touches,’ David saidas he sprinkled chives over the top.

David then revealed the partnership with his snack company as he held up the snack packet and said: ‘But there’s one thing that’s missing in the meal kit. Something sweet.’

Gordon replied: ‘Your finishing touches. Well done chef.’

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, David shared a clip of himself whipping up a Scallop Truffle Risotto recipe sent to him by Gordon to mark the partnership

David’s clip came just days after his son Brooklyn mocked by fans as he returned to social media to cook his special spaghetti bolognese dish – without spaghetti – following his scathing attack on his parents.

The estranged son of Victoria, 51, and Sir David, 50, took to Instagram last week to publicly confirm he did not want to reconcile with his family, while accusing his parents of intentionally trying to break up his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz, 30.

On Tuesday, Brooklyn, 26, shared the new clip, which is his first cooking post since his bombshell statement. 

In the video, Brooklyn showed off the steps he took to create the ‘special spaghetti Bolognese’ dish – though ironically, it did not have spaghetti.

Fans flooded the nepo baby with replies, with one humorously asking: ‘Is the spaghetti in the room with us, hun?’

Another said: ‘This is not spaghetti’; ‘Um, is no one gonna address the Elephant in the room….? That ain’t spaghetti…’; ‘Special spaghetti cause there ain’t no spaghetti in there’; ‘Where the spaghetti at? As a good romagnaola, the ragu sauce has to be cooked in a slow cooker for a couple of hours’. 

Following the avalanche of replies, Brooklyn commented underneath the post: ‘I was going to use spaghetti but ran out xx.’ 

Brooklyn publicly denounced his family last week in a scathing six-page statement where he accused his parents of ‘controlling’ him, trying to ruin his marriage and humiliating him.

Among the long list of claims he made was that Victoria pulled out of designing his bride’s wedding dress at the ‘eleventh hour’ and then ‘hijacked’ the first dance at his wedding and ‘danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone’.

Victoria is said to be ‘feeling betrayed’ by Brooklyn’s bombshell statement and dancing revelations after her years spent protecting him from ‘dark stories’.

The Daily Mail’s Katie Hind previously explained how the Beckhams’ camp ‘leapt into overdrive in Brooklyn’s defence’ when stories such as kiss and tells and tales of him being ‘involved him with the wrong crowd’ surfaced.

His parents have often instructed expensive lawyers to protect him against such stories.

David and Victoria would ‘take Brooklyn back in a minute’ and are said to be ‘horrified’ by events this week, according to another source.

As well as a number of images from dinner, Nicola was also shown lying in bed and walking the grounds with their dog, Lamb. Foodie Brooklyn also shared pictures of the impressive kitchen garden allotment.

More than 5,700 miles away in Paris, Brooklyn’s parents Sir David, 50, and Victoria, 51, and siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, have put on their own show of unity at Haute Couture Fashion Week.
