The former professional football player has even lifted the lid on his workout routine as he prepares to turn 50, while spilling details about his gym sessions with wife Victoria.

In May, the father-of-four will turn 50 years of age – but despite the milestone birthday creeping up on him, David seems unfazed.

Speaking to Men’s Health amid his cover interview, David said turning 50 doesn’t bother him.

On celebrating his birthday, he told the magazine: “Doesn’t bother me one bit.

“People are asking me about it gently, like it should be a big issue.

“It’s not something that I’m worried about, as long as I’m fit and healthy and my family are healthy, that’s all I care about.”

He went on to add how he’s “really happy” and feels content with his business and “amazing family”.

David also boasted about how his body is “feeling better than it has done for a long time” before revealing his secret to feeling so good is playing padel three times a week and working out every day.

Lifting the lid on his marriage to Victoria, whom he has been wed to since 1999, David gave fans an insight into what they’re like together out of the public eye – and in the gym.

“I’ve been trying to get Victoria to work out with [personal trainer] Bob [Rich] for years, and she finally agreed to adjust her workout,” he told the magazine.

He explained how they now train together five or six days every week – and he loves it.

He said: “I love training with Victoria.

“I give her a lot of grief. We both give each other plenty of grief.”

David then made a a revelation about his famous wife: “She’s not very good at listening to Bobby.

“She does her own thing. She’s not great at taking a rest.

“He’ll get her to have 90 seconds rest and she’ll be ready to go after 25 seconds.”

Also in the interview, David spoke of how it is “painful” seeing his children move out of their family home.

He revealed: “We’ve gone from having four in the house to one.

“What I would give to have that back and be able to walk in, moaning to them about it [wet towels on bedroom floors]!”

But he did add how his sons often go to the pub with him, which has softened the big adjustment.
