David Beckham has revealed how he is living with his “tiring” obsessive compulsive disorder in a forthcoming Netflix documentary.

“The fact that when everyone’s in bed I then go around, clean the candles, turn the lights on to the right setting, make sure everywhere is tidy.” said the former England football captain.

He also revealed that one of the reasons he kept getting so many tattoos was because he was addicted to the pain.

He said: “I’ve got this obsessive-compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line or everything has to be in pairs.”

“I’m excited to confirm that I am partnering with Netflix on a documentary series about my life and career.” Beckham said in an Instagram post.

The series will feature unseen archive footage as well as interviews with Beckham, his family and friends, and other people who played an important role in his story.
