The recent release of the Beckham documentary by Netflix has had everyone feeling nostalgic for the 90s but has also inspired a new TikTok trend called the Beckham test. Over the four-part documentary series, viewers follow the ups and downs of the footballing legend’s life and career. At the start of his career in the early nineties, when the Spice Girls also reigned supreme in their respective field, we witness his blossoming relationship with the then Victoria Adams, also known as Posh Spice. The couple has now been married for 24 years and one particular scene in the documentary stole viewers' hearts as they began dancing together at their Cotswolds home to the song 'Islands in the Stream' by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Viewers noticed that, without speaking, Victoria initiated a dance together and David joined in with no hesitation. The sweet moment has led to a new TikTok trend where people test their relationship with the “Beckham dance test”. What is the viral Beckham test? To complete the Beckham test, people have filmed themselves putting the Islands in the Stream song on, dancing to it and waiting to see if their partner will join them as David did with Victoria in the Netflix documentary. The hashtag #beckhamdance has received 6.3 million views and has seen posting videos of their attempts. @amyteehee #beckhamtest #davidbeckham Some were more successful than others, but Beckham himself has had his say as he has been seen commenting on some people’s videos. The superstar wrote on TikToker Nicole Douglas’ video, “Pass” along with a tick and a crying laughing emoji. @nicoledouglas Do we pass him? 👀💘 #beckhams #netflix #beckhamdance #bftest #beckham #beckhamdocumentary That is one valuable seal of approval.

After 13 years, Alan Wake's creator finally gets to release the sequel many thought wouldn't happen.

An elementary school teacher has divided opinion on social media after she was filmed giving a young pupil “birthday spankings”. The clip, which has been shared across TikTok, shows the woman beaming as she brandishes a large, wooden ruler and the boy braces for impact. The child is smiling, too, as he clutches the table, and she swings her makeshift paddle. Thankfully, the teacher stops before making contact, as she repeats a swing for each year of his life. Pranks and peculiar traditions are a quirk of the festivities across the world, with almost every culture having their own special rites and rituals. Bumps, “punches” and other torments have long been a celebrated part of the festivities, as have “spankings”. The North American tradition sees the birthday boy or girl receive the number of hits that corresponds to their age, plus “one to grow on”. @noahglenncarter People are upset with this teacher for giving a student birthday spankings #foryou #teacher #birthday Numerous TikTok commentators pointed out that they’d received the same treatment at the hands of their teachers while in school, though not everyone remembered the custom fondly. Search “birthday spankings” on the platform and you’ll see a number of videos dedicated to people’s realisation that the whole thing is a bit… creepy. @queenkoppes #stitch with @smithfulteaching The 90s were a different time. #teachersoftiktok @mackenzig__ i thought this was a fever dream or smth for the longest time until someone told me they saw it too Still, plenty of TikTokers have also laughed the whole thing off or pointed to similarly bizarre conventions that they’d fallen prey to. “This is a family tradition for me,” one wrote. “We all got and gave each other birthday spankings. It’s just a fun thing.” “My Spanish teacher pulls ears for birthday,” added another, explaining that it was “her culture’s tradition”. However, influencer Noah Glenn Carter pointed out that some traditions simply don’t age well, and plenty of people would file a complaint with the school if this happened to their kid. “So far it doesn't seem like any action has been taken against the teacher, which I think is fine because she probably didn't mean anything by this,” he said in a commentary on the clip. But, he added: “If I was a teacher, the last thing you would see me doing is giving out birthday spankings to students. “Because even if I was just doing it to be funny, people could see it in a very different light.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
