The following day, his father Sir David appeared to respond to the statement and told US outlet CNBC’s Squawk Box that parents must let their children “make mistakes” on social media.

He continued: “It can be dangerous, but what I’ve found personally, especially with my kids as well, use it (social media) for the right reasons.

“I’ve tried to do the same with my children to educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.”

Brooklyn had also alleged that Lady Beckham “hijacked” his first dance with Nicola at their wedding and danced “inappropriately on me” in front of their guests, adding that he had never felt “more uncomfortable or humiliated” in his life.

Since the statement was made, DJ Fat Tony, who performed at the three-day wedding, said in an interview on ITV’s This Morning that Nicola was in tears at her wedding after Lady Beckham had the first dance with her husband.

He said US singer Marc Anthony was on stage when he asked for “the most beautiful woman in the room” to come to the stage, and guests believed it was for Nicola’s first dance with Brooklyn.

Instead, Lady Beckham is said to have been called to the stage by Anthony and asked to dance with her son, prompting Nicola to leave the room crying.

Brooklyn’s parents, also known as Posh and Becks, have two other sons, Cruz and Romeo, and daughter Harper.

Beckham: Family At War – Untold will be available to watch and stream on Channel 4 at 10pm on Wednesday January 28.
