Victoria Beckham shares 'very competitive' gingerbread house battle with David

Victoria Beckham is getting into the Christmas spirit as she organised some wholesome fun activities for her brood.

She led an adorable gingerbread decorating competition with husband David, 47, and daughter Harper and shared the results on social media.

The former Spice Girls star posted the family's gingerbread house battle, before deciding Harper, 11, had the best one. Victoria, 48, also revealed she was more determined to beat her husband than her daughter, before discussing the Beckham's competitive streak.

"So today we are making gingerbread houses. Me, Harper and David," she said on Instagram. "I'm not good in the kitchen but we are trying to get in the Christmas mood. Let's see how I do. Expect the worst and maybe it will be a nice surprise."

The mother-of-four then panned the camera to show each family member’s various creations, as she wrote on the Instagram story: “It’s not about ‘taking part’, it’s about who wins”.

Showing off David's handywork, Victoria said: "Here's David's," before the former footie star said: "I think you're complicating yours. Mine is simple. Simplicity wins."

Victoria took the camera and showed off Harper's 'amazing' gingerbread decorations, as the youngster chimed in: "Mine is amazing."

In a separate Instagram story, Victoria clarified the Beckhams are “a very competitive family FYI!!!” along with a crying laughing emoji.

While Victoria admitted that their youngest child has the “best” gingerbread house of them all, she did maintain that she’s “very confident” her gingerbread house would be better than David’s.

Her final two Instagram stories showed the finished gingerbread house creations. Victoria kept hers simple with white frosting piping along the corners of the cookies and green dots on the roof.

David decorated his gingerbread roof entirely with white icing, while Harper’s house was the most creative, full of festive pink and white sweets.

“Feeling very accomplished!” Victoria said. “Think I won @davidbeckham”.

Recently Victoria detailed her emotional bonding experience with her youngest child Harper as they both cried in a cinema while watching Frozen. When speaking to Dax Shephard on his Armchair Expert podcast about her daughter's reluctance to see the musical film, she said: "Me and Harper [are] big, big fans of Frozen and I took her to see the musical in the West End, and she’s going through that stage where she’s like, ‘I’m 11, I’m now too big for Frozen'.

“Because that film was on heavy rotation - you can imagine - when she was very little.

“So we go to watch the musical, she didn’t want to go because she thought she was too grown up, when they sing that song, let me tell you... we both stood up in the middle of the theatre and burst out crying.

“We were so emotional. And the actress whipped off her rags and she’s there like, full on bedazzled, whatever it was.

“And we just sobbed, it was such a moment."
