Victoria donned a Reebok tracksuit while sitting on her bike, in what was a confirmation that they had not taken themselves back to London.

Later the sporting star shared another image of the applause ringing out, with a video from the back of his house.
Meanwhile it had seemed that Victoria may have journeyed back to London for work purposes, as that evening she shared a video of her socially distanced working habits – yet she has since made it clear this is not the case.

David and Victoria were quarantining with their children, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15 and Harper, eight, – while eldest son Brooklyn, 21, appears to be isolating with girlfriend Nicola Peltz, 25.

One woman who works at the butchers near their home in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, said: ‘The Beckhams and these other fancy folks who think it’s a good idea to self-isolate in the country are just being selfish.’
A councillor added: ‘Showing off your beautiful country mansion on social media and telling us all what a wonderful time you’re having is just rubbing our noses in it. The Beckhams and other celebrities are being stupid, irresponsible and insensitive.’
The Beckhams left their London home to stay at their countryside property before the UK was put on lockdown on March 23.
Although they spend a lot of time there on a regular basis, they have been bombarding their followers with pictures and videos of enjoying a luxurious lockdown in their palatial surrounds.

One raged: ‘Don’t you realise that by doing that you’ve possibly brought the virus with you and because Cornwall is not your main residence, if you and your family get sick you will place yet more strain on an already fragile infrastructure.’
Rita Ora meanwhile is said to have ‘left locals furious by spending the COVID-19 lockdown at a rented farmhouse 150 miles away from her London abode’.

The star arrived at the farmhouse on March 21 before Prime Minister Boris Johnson put the UK on lockdown to tackle the coronavirus crisis, reports The Sun.
The publication also claims that a local wrote on an online residents’ group: ‘Surely she should respect the rules and have stayed in f****** London?’
