No wonder he's keeping her close: David Beckham holds Victoria's hand tightly as he leads her down the red carpet at theatre awards following car crash
David and Victoria turned heads when they arrived at the 60th London Evening Standard awards held at the Palladium on Sunday evening. While Victoria wore a black longline gown from her eponymous collection, her husband wore a navy suit complete with black bow tie.
The sportsman held onto his wife's hand tightly as they made their way down the red carpet together - and no doubt he's keeping her close by after being involved in a car crash just a day before.
The 39-year-old was involved in the accident after picking up his eldest son, Brooklyn from Arsenal's training ground in Hertfordshire but emerged unhurt, although his car was not able to be used.
