Mariah Carey has given David Beckham’s cover of her classic festive tune, All I Want For Christmas is You, her seal of approval.

The iconic singer, 52, took to Instagram on Thursday to give his performance a thumbs up after his wife Victoria secretly filmed the footballer singing in their London home.

Commenting under the former Spice Girls’ post, Carey penned: “My new fave rendition (laughing face emoji) love you guys!"

The 47-year-old appeared in a world of his own as he scrolled through his phone and enjoyed a coffee at their kitchen counter while singing along to the Christmas song’s opening lyrics as it played on their speakers.

After David failed to hit Mariah’s high note, Victoria began laughing and made a cheeky remark about his dulcet tones: “You were struggling with that high note, weren’t you?”

Unimpressed by his wife’s enthusiasm, David then quipped, “like you would?” before giving his best attempt to reach the singer’s high note.

Alongside the amusing video, Victoria penned: “@davidbeckham giving us his best @mariahCarey.”

While the style star was giggling, many of their fans and friends were left impressed by David’s efforts and commented under the post in their droves.

One fan wrote: “Awwww... this is very sweet... but in all fairness that last note was on point!!”

“The last note was goooooddddd,” another penned. “He’s actually really good!!!”

A fourth added: “Hahaha he got that last note there”.

Meanwhile, former Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland remarked on the sports star’s skill: “SINGGGGGGG DAVID!!!!!!”

“He’s actually good,” wrote a stunned Kelly Brook. While Dawn O’Porter admitted: “This just kicked off Christmas for me”.
