Victoria Beckham has revealed that her family maintains a traditional Sunday dinner routine, with the family gathering for a roast meal at 6.30pm each week.
Victoria, her husband David Beckham and their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper sit down together for the meal, which includes Yorkshire puddings, stuffing and a selection of vegetables.
Victoria said parsnips are excluded from the menu because they are among the few foods David refuses to eat.
