Victoria Beckham is lambasted by her 14-year-old daughter Harper in scenes from her new Netflix documentary – because he TikTok dancing skills aren’t up to scratch.
The fashion designer, 51, was spending some quality time with her youngest as they tried out a trend on the app which involved them dancing to Le Freak by Chic.
The scene from episode one begins by Victoria saying: ‘The Spice Girls made me feel good enough about being me. And I tell Harper every single day ‘you follow your dreams and be who you are’.’
The scene then shows Harper trying to teach her a TikTok dance as she instructs: ‘So we go shoulder, clap, and then I’m gonna go like that while you do something’.
Victoria then says: ‘Oh but I don’t like to freestyle!’
As they begin their dance to Le Freak they start dancing but as Harper looks over at her she shouts ‘No! no! You need to do like a dance move! Just do something random, do your tap dancing.’

Victoria then asks: ‘Are you going to use a filter?’ and when Harper shows her it she says: ‘Oh I look great in that!’
After successfully recording it as they watch it back Victoria quips: ‘Look she’s still got moves! Look at that! This is a good angle for me as well!’
Elsewhere on episode one Victoria revealed how her ‘loner’ childhood and bullying shaped her work ethic.
The singer turned renowned fashion designer reflected on her formative years growing up with parents Tony and Jackie and her siblings Christian and Louise in Hertfordshire.
Sharing rarely seen photos and home video footage, Victoria explained how it wasn’t until she joined The Spice Girls aged 19 that she ‘accepted who I am and how I look.’
She found solace from school bullying in weekend dance and theatre classes, explaining: ‘I used to enjoy the sense of escapism. You become someone else.’
‘I was definitely a loner at school, I was bullied, I wasn’t particularly sociable. I just didn’t fit in, at all. But when you’re on stage, for that moment you’re somebody else.
‘I didn’t really wanna be me, I didn’t like me. I desperately wanted to be liked.’
Victoria’s first love was dance, but she admitted in the documentary that she didn’t have a natural talent and her dad constantly encouraged her to work hard to stand out, particularly once she was accepted to theatre school – a venture he remortgaged the family home for.

In one moving moment, Victoria explained how despite inheriting her dad’s work ethic, she knew she was never going to fit in or excel at her dance school.
‘I didn’t look like a lot of the other girls. That’s where I started getting a lot of criticism about my appearance, my weight,’ she remembered.
‘I remember the principal of the theatre school saying to me ‘at the end of the show, we’re gonna just fly you girls in at the back’ meaning that we weren’t looking as aesthetically pleasing as some of the others.’
‘I remember phoning my mum crying ‘I wanna come home’ and my mum said ‘come home, we’ll go and buy a new pair of shoes’ but then my dad would come on the phone and he’d say ‘you stay there. You work hard’.’
Victoria’s parents Tony and Jackie Adams also appear in the Netflix film, talking proudly about their close relationship with Victoria and her siblings and how their enduring family bond was forged with their working class roots.
The references to how her family ‘came from nothing’ come two years after the viral moment in David Beckham’s 2023 Netflix documentary which saw the footballer poke fun at his wife’s claim about her ‘very working, working class’ roots.
That documentary saw an incredulous David interrupt and ask Victoria to be honest to which she replied: ‘I am!’ He then repeatedly asked Victoria to reveal what car her dad used to drive her to school in.
The Spice Girl eventually gave in and said: ‘OK. In the ’80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.’ ‘Thank you.’ David replied, and immediately left and closed the door behind him, his job done.

Victoria shared the now infamous Rolls Royce snap in her documentary as she mused how her electric wholesaler dad ‘started with nothing’.
‘He used to sit me and my brother and sister in a little production line, we would build things, plugs and electrical things,’ before the family piled in her dad’s van to ‘deliver what we had built.’
‘Dad worked so, so hard and he expected me to be the same.’
And the work ethic paid off. It was revealed this week that Victoria made over £1.7million from her music career last year despite not having released a song in years.
