David Beckham took to Instagram on Friday to share his favourite Comic Relief moments from over the years, just hours before the annual charity fundraiser celebrates its 40th birthday.

The star posed with his wife Victoria, 50, in a fun snap to mark the occasion with the pair both wearing Red Noses and the former footballer, 49, sticking his tongue out.

He also posted a series of throwback clips and pictures of some memorable Comic Relief skits in which he has starred.

One was a look back on the Beckham In Peckham scene, a 10-minute Only Fools In Horses special which aired in 2014.

It saw David Jason reprise his role as Del Boy in the classic comedy, as he was joined by iconic sidekick Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst).

The sketch involved the sitcom duo up to their old tricks and attempting to sell some underwear, on the recommendation of football star David.

The throwbacks included his collaboration with the Only Fools And Horses cast and came just hours before the annual charity fundraiser celebrates its 40th birthday

It was all going well until the former England captain signed a ball for a local boy, which soon led to his cover being blown. 

As David appeared to collapse to the floor, Del Boy and Rodney repeated their classic catchphrase: ‘You plonker!’

Another classic clip saw James Corden play the role of Smithy from Gavin And Stacey as he laid into the England football team in 2009.

David was joined by Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Peter Crouch, Rio Ferdinand, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Michael Carrick and David James on the receiving end of the actor’s wrath.

In a second clip from James’s appearance, David could be seen reading a Spanish newspaper – in reference to the footballer’s club Real Madrid – as the comedian gave him a haircut and painted his nails.

The duo, both sporting bath robes, then joined forces in making a flower arrangement before David gifted his pal a pink rose and James kissed him on the head.

An even older throwback involved a snap from their appearance on a special episode of Ali G in 2001, where they stepped into the firing line of Sacha Baron Cohen’s iconic alter ego.

David captioned the post: ‘Beckham in Peckham [laughing emoji] I still can’t believe I was in an Only Fools & Horses episode… so many special memories of Red Nose Day over the last 40 years ❤️ 

He also starred with James Corden in a special clip which involved the two bonding over haircuts and flower arrangements

On Thursday, Victoria posted a clip to her Instagram story of their youngest son Cruz, 20, singing the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers hit Islands In The Stream while David cooked up a storm in the background.

Wearing a navy sweater with thin vertical cream stripes, Cruz added black tracksuit bottoms and sported a tan cadet cap – not dissimilar to the one his hero John wore while performing the album Help – backwards as he crooned away.

Meanwhile David seasoned the meat on the hob as he wore a white T-shirt with some grey sweatpants and sang along to the chorus of the song. 

Victoria, out of sH๏τ but also heard contributing some vocals, captioned the post: ‘Casual…Dinner with the Beckhams.’ 

Last week David spent some quality time with Cruz as they hit the ski slopes in British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada.

The footballing legend bundled up in a mint green ski jacket and a black helmet as he made the most of the powdered slopes.

Documenting their action-packed trip on Instagram, the father and son duo appeared to be having the best time while showing off their skills.

As the two posed for a sweet selfie together, David captioned one image: ‘Fun times with my boy in the powder of British Columbia.’

Another saw the sportsman grinning for the camera while his budding musician son was seen sprawled out on the snow while taking a break from snowboarding.

While David, who also opted to snowboard, noted that it would be ‘fun getting down’ as he prepared to tackle another slope.

It certainly seemed to be a bonding trip for the two of them as their was no sign of David’s other children or wife Victoria. 

Just days earlier, Victoria was supported by her husband David and kids Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, as they all proudly watched from the front row at her show the previous night.
