The 39-year-old football legend spoke to James Corden on the Late Late Show on Monday, where he admitted he takes his fatherly duties very and even chaperoned his son's first date.

The talk show host called Brooklyn a "good-looking boy", adding he "must be getting quite into the dating circle".

David replied: "He's gonna hate me for this, but yeah. On his first date, which he was about 14 and a half, Victoria was actually in London. It was Valentine's Day and he said, 'I'd love to take this girl to dinner.' I said, 'OK, great.'

"I spoke to [my wife] Victoria [who was away on business] and she was like, 'Really?' I said, 'Yeah, he's going to do it.' She said, 'OK. Make sure you take him and make sure you sit in the restaurant.' I was like, 'Really? You're gonna make me do that? She said, 'Yep. That's the only way I'm going to let him go.' So we took him to a small sushi restaurant and he sat at the sushi bar and I sat about five tables back."

James quipped: "It's not like you can ever go incognito somewhere though!"

Protective David added: "My daughter [Harper Beckham] is three years old. When she gets to that age, I will be closer than that!"

The proud father is also dad to Romeo, 12, Cruz, nine, with wife Victoria, 40.
