Beckham - David had Victoria in tears

Victoria Beckham was reduced to tears last night as husband David was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at BBC's Sports Personality of the Year.

According to The Daily Mail, the former Spice Girl turned fashion designer struggled to contain herself as she sat with the couple's three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight and four-year-old Cruz and Beckham's mother Sandra.

A clearly emotional Beckham also found it difficult not to cry as he thanked his wife and their sons for their support over the years.

He said: "I want to thank my wife and my children. Not only has she given me three amazing boys but the support she's given me and she is truly and inspiration for me every single day.

"So Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - thank you.' In the audience, a teary Victoria wiped her eyes as she watched her husband accept the prize along with her sons.

Beckham, 35, then continued: "I'm obviously really humbled because to receive an award for something I love doing and have always loved doing is amazing. To receive it from...Bobby Charlton, I am truly honoured.

"I'm sorry that I'm going on, but I really have to thank my parents, who have sacrificed so much over the years.

"My sisters, my grandparents, my family, my friends, other people who work with me and for me. And lastly, if I've forgotten anyone I apologise."
