Steve revealed that he is second cousins with the English football icon, sharing the unexpected family link during an exclusive interview with Daily Mail.

Steve explained that the connection comes through his mother's side of the family, revealing his grandmother was a Beckham before marriage.

'He's my second cousin,' Steve said. 

'My grandmother on my mum's side was a Beckham before she married my grandfather. Me and David were both born in Essex in East London and we were born just seven days apart,' he continued. 

Steve, who was born on April 23, said Beckham arrived shortly after on May 2, calling the timing a funny coincidence given their shared family roots.

'It's quite a famous connection, I guess,' he admitted. 

'It's a very cool one to have, I must admit.'

While Steve says he has never officially met Beckham's wife Victoria, he did briefly cross paths with the football superstar as a teenager.

'When I was about 16, I was back in London and met him in the same room, but that was when he was already playing soccer and travelling a lot,' he said. 

'He wasn't really around like a regular kid.'

Steve joked that Beckham clearly scored the genetic jackpot among the cousins.

'I think he got the looks and the money, unfortunately, out of the cousins,' he laughed.
