They are famous for their clean-cut family image. But David and Victoria Beckham pose in a sultry, semi-pornographic embrace under crisp white bed linen to show their 'dark side' while launching a new perfume.

The ex-England captain and his wife were shot by Terry Richardson, infamous for his semi-pornographic pictures, to promote their scent Intimately Beckham Night.

The couple's image change comes after Beckham's former boss Sir Alex Ferguson claimed the footballer's career went downhill the moment he met Victoria.

So what will the Manchester United manager think of the latest Beckham persona?

In an interview for The Mail on Sunday's You magazine, Beckham, 32, said: 'Not many people see this side of us and I think that's what's great about having a fragrance like this. It's a way of us showing our dark side.'

Touching and cooing at each other, the Beckhams insisted the fragrance was a joint effort.

It was created by French perfumer Coty, the firm behind scents for Kylie Minogue and Kate Moss.
