David Beckham shows off bloodied nose after daughter Harper bit him while being tickled

David Beckham has laughed off an injury caused by his 10-year-old daughter Harper when she bit him during a tickling match, leaving him with bloodied scratches on his face. 

The football star shared a selfie showing the wounds to his nose while pulling a long-suffering-dad expression. 

"Note to self, when tickling your daughter don't put your nose near her mouth," he captioned the snap. 

The 46-year-old and his wife Victoria Beckham often share intimate moments from family life on social media, frequently posting loving tributes to their children or each other.

In 2018, the Beckhams both shared a heartfelt moment from David's birthday, when he was brought to tears by a surprise arrival from his oldest son Brooklyn. 

On several different occasions previously, David has come under fire for sharing a photo of him kissing his daughter on the lips, with some dubbing the move "inappropriate" and "wrong", while others felt those that had a problem with the public display of affection were the ones that were "sick".
