This is not the first time David has posted a sweet snap of himself kissing his daughter. In 2017, when Harper was five, the doting dad shared an image of the two and he defiantly responded to those that felt it was inappropriate.

In a chat on Facebook live, he said: "I got actually criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day. I kiss all my kids on the lips. Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn's 18, he might find that a little bit strange. But I'm very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children."
