Beckhams see in new year with £30k family bash

- By David Pilditch

DAVID Beckham kicked off the new year in style with a lavish family party.

The former England captain splashed out a reported £30,000 as he invited loved ones and close friends to his Cotswolds mansion.

Beckham, 43, posted a photo on Instagram of proud mother Victoria, 44, snuggled up to sons Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, and 13-year-old Cruz, along with daughter Harper, seven.

The ex-Manchester United star added a touch of James Bond glamour to the night, sporting a dark green velvet tuxedo and bow tie.

The family shared video footage of their spectacula­r fireworks and scenes of celebratio­n.

Former Spice Girl Victoria snapped her other half yesterday morning looking bleary-eyed and dressed in a white towelling robe with the hood pulled up over his head. “Oh wow!! He is feeling it today,” said her caption.

There was also a touch of Bond about former United teammate Rio Ferdinand, 40, who posted an image of himself roaring along on a jet ski with a seaplane in the background during a New Year break in Dubai.

Ferdinand, who also captained England, later shared a picture of him wearing a “Happy New Year” party hat, accompanie­d by the caption: “After this pic is a blur!!”

Meanwhile, TV presenter Holly Willoughby, 37, celebrated on an exotic beach.

Willoughby raises a glass with husband Dan Baldwin, 43, and her three children as a 2019 sign is lit up in flames. She wrote: “As long as you four are beside me... we’ll be just fine.”
