Harper Beckham is famously close to dad David - and now her mum Victoria has been revealed he was there to record her first wobbly steps.

The fashion designer, 46, shared a sweet throwback clip of the milestone moment in a family video montage to mark the football star’s 45th birthday.

In the footage - which the Spice Girl revealed in an Instagram post to her 28m followers - the little toddler can be seen trying to walk tentatively towards the sportsman, who appears to be behind the camera.

As she tumbles to floor, the father-of-four can be heard encouragingly telling her: “Clever girl!”
