Victoria Beckham reveals David goes around the room blowing out candles when he wants dinner party guests to leave in the hope 'people will get the hint'

Victoria Beckham has revealed that her husband David goes around the room blowing out the candles when he wants dinner party guests to leave. 

The fashion designer, 52, has recently launched her own posh range of homeware, in a collaboration with German retailer Westwing, and in a new video, she shared her hosting do’s and don’ts.

And spilling the secret on how the football ace, 51, carefully coerces his guests into getting the 'hint' to make a hasty exit, Victoria told how he targets the lighting around the house.

Speaking in a behind-the-scenes clip shared to her Instagram on Monday, Victoria explained: 'You know what happens in the Beckham house when David wants people to leave? He literally walks around the room blowing out the candles hoping that people will get the... get the hint!'

David's perhaps not-so-subtle tactics may perhaps be due to the fact that he'll no doubt have to carry out his meticulous candle cleaning routine – which he puts down to his lifelong struggle with OCD.

Shedding light on his compulsive organisation on his Netflix series in 2023, David detailed how he spends hours cleaning and tidying after his family have gone to bed as he 'hates' coming down to mess in the morning. 

On what he does after burning candles, he explained: 'It's tiring going around every single candle cleaning it. I clip the candle wax, I clean the glass, that's my pet hate, the smoke around the inside of a candle… I know, it's weird.'

Meanwhile, during her chat about hosting, Victoria told how one 'unforgivable sin' would be to serve paper napkins, with the star branding it 'unacceptable'.

She even added that she 'wouldn't turn up' to a dinner party if she knew that she would be given a paper napkin.

Victoria then went on to list her key requirements with a fork before discussing her love of a good champagne coupe and butter dish.

The Spice Girl also insisted that dinner party etiquette dictates that a mobile phone should 'never ever' be on the table as it's 'very inelegant' and full of germs.

Victoria's dinner party chat comes after her estranged son Brooklyn, 27, snubbed her Paris Fashion Week show earlier this month. 

Despite being seen at a string of events during Paris Fashion Week, Brooklyn snubbed his estranged mother Victoria's runway show.

Although he was in the same city as his famous family, Brooklyn showed there are no signs of reconciling with them as he and Nicola partied in Paris just miles away from them.

As David, Harper, Romeo and Cruz – as well as the boys' girlfriends – enjoyed their front-row catwalk seats at the Conciergerie at 2 Boulevard du Palais, Brooklyn and Nicola happened to be close to the Louvre.

Those who know the family wonder whether Brooklyn and Nicola were revelling in their trip to the French capital and the calendar clash.

They point out that the pair's Paris sojourn was documented by a photographer from their preferred paparazzi agency.

One source told the Daily Mail's Katie Hind: 'It feels like there is some trolling going on. You have to wonder whether Nicola and Brooklyn are enjoying winding it all up. They made sure they were seen everywhere thanks to a certain pap firm.

'The irony of that, of course, is that Brooklyn has had a go at his parents for setting up picture opportunities when all of the hallmarks are there that they are doing it themselves.

'It doesn't matter what the distance between the two sides is, there is absolutely no chance of any olive branches or anyone making up any time soon.'

Following the show, Victoria appeared to allude to Brooklyn's absence in a post on Instagram where she said she felt 'so blessed' to have the rest of the family supporting her.

The fashion designer wrote: 'To my friends and family, I feel so blessed to have you all by my side.'
