David Beckham once nearly ran over Danielle Lloyd, leaving her “mortified”.

The 40-year-old model has recalled the time she was nearly flattened by the 48-year-old former footballer,

but Danielle was “embarrassed” by the incident, and insisted it was all her fault.

Speaking on the ‘My Dirty Laundry’ podcast, she said: “So something that happened to me back in the day was that I nearly got run over by David Beckham,

which was quite funny, but embarrassing at the same time.

“I remember the day, it was really raining really badly. And I ran out into the road to try and get across the road really quickly.

“Thankfully he didn’t run me over, but he put the window down and was like, ‘Oh, are you OK?’ “

Danielle was shocked to see “handsome” David behind the wheel, so much so she couldn’t speak.

She added: “I felt like I couldn’t even speak because obviously it was David Beckham and I was just mortified. Honestly, I was mortified.

“But I remember the rain. It was really raining badly, but the sun still looked like it was shining on his face.”

Danielle admitted David was already with his wife, Victoria Beckham, 49, at the time, and she is also a big fan of the fashion designer after seeing her on David’s Netflix documentary ‘Beckham’.

The mother-of-five – who was previously married to former pro footballer Jamie O’Hara, 37 – said: “I just loved it. I was like literally obsessed with it. And I feel like she came across really, really well.

“She made herself more approachable, I think on the show. I feel like she just, like, you see the different sides for what I really, really liked.”
