David Beckham OCD update as football legend opens up about ‘tiring’ disorder

Ex-England captain David Beckham has opened up about his obsessive bedtime routine, as the football star spoke out about living with OCD in his new Netflix docuseries

David Beckham has opened up about the struggles of living with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in his new Netflix docuseries BECKHAM.

The four-part series, released today (October 4), details the former football player’s excessive routine before bed, which involves cleaning every candle and clipping their wicks. In episode two, director Fisher Stevens asked the sports star if the kitchen had ever been used as it appeared in pristine condition, to which David responded saying he had cooked the previous night but he “cleans so well” afterwards.

He then said that his cleaning “isn’t appreciated by my wife”, adding: “When everyone’s in bed, I then go around cleaning the candles, turning the lights on to the right setting. I make sure everywhere is tidy because I hate coming down in the morning and there’s cups and plates and bowls. It’s tiring.

“It’s tiring going around to every single candle and cleaning it and clipping the wick. I clip the candle wicks, I clean the glass, that’s my pet hate, the smoke around the inside of a candle.” While wife Victoria clarified that David is appreciated, he was filmed straightening the chairs and moving misplaced condiments back in the cupboard, before heading to the sink to wash up a mug.
