David Beckham 'exhausted' as he reveals extent of OCD struggles in new Netflix documentary

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

David Beckham will give his fans a deeper insight into his struggles with OCD in his new Netflix documentary. The former Manchester United footballer will appear in a multi-part series which is set to be released later this year and the first clip was played during a Netflix See What’s Next event this week.

According to Metro.co.uk, the streaming giant was granted intimate access to the sporting legend as the first clip saw David discussing his cleaning routine while standing in the Beckham family's London mansion.

When the camera crew enquires as to why the kitchen is so spotlessly clean David, who is married to former Spice Girl Victoria, explains: "I clean it so well, I’m not sure it’s actually appreciated so much by my wife, in all honesty.

The fact that when everyone’s in bed I then go around, clean the candles, turn the lights on to the right setting, make sure everywhere is tidy."

In the first look clip seen by the press at the recent Netflix event, David, 47, explains that he takes particular issue with the candles: "I clip the candle wick, I clean the glass, that’s my pet hate, the smoke around the inside of a candle… I know, it’s weird." Victoria, 48, is then heard telling the crew: "He's just so perfect,' before telling David he is 'appreciated'.
