DAVID Beckham has been spotted standing on tip-toes in a new family picture - so his son doesn't tower over him.

The England football legend was seen by fans appearing to try to give himself a little extra height beside ultra-tall son Romeo, 19.

One fan asked after Victoria posted the festive image on Instagram: "Wait, is David on his tip-toes!!??"

Another asked the sporting star: "David, are you jealous of your son's height?"

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid star David, 46, is a touch over 5ft9in - which is the average for a male in the UK.

However, his second eldest son son is the giant of the family, standing visibly taller than everyone else in the snap.

The smart image showed the family all dressed up in their best outfits around a perfectly decorated tree with Victoria writing: "Christmas kisses from the Beckhams! 🎄🎁✨."

Romeo, who is a footballer too, looked like he might also have been trying to get some extra height in his smart shiny shoes.

Their Christmas snap saw mum Victoria, 47, dressed in elegant green beside her daughter Harper, ten.

Alongside them were Brooklyn, 22, Cruz, 16, David and Romeo, all dressed in suits and ties.

Many of their fans were delighted with the glimpse into the Beckhams' super-smart Christmas Day.

One wrote simply: "I love this family. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥👏."

David earlier posted a picture with the family's dogs Olive, Sage and Fig in matching 'Ho Ho Ho' jumpers.

He wrote: "So girls this is what’s going to happen tomorrow 🎅🏼 How excited are we ?? 🐶🐶🐶."

Victoria asked: "Does anyone love Christmas as much as my husband?!"
