David Beckham's Cotswolds farmhouse has become somewhat of an obsession for the Ideal Home team.

But it's not just his beautiful garden and timely gardening hacks we've fallen in love with in the sneak peeks we've had on his Instagram. We're all over the latest addition Beckham has been showing off in his garden - the Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker.

We think that this particular version of the best BBQs, which we awarded 5 stars in our Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker review, is set to be the buy of the summer. And now it's got the David Beckham seal of approval too. The best bit? It's also currently on sale with a whopping 45% off.

David Beckham Ninja ambassador

Beckham's endorsement of the BBQ came as he was announced as the new Global Brand Ambassador for Ninja , which has accumulated a huge following in the last few years due to the popularity of the best Ninja air fryers.

Known as a keen chef, in the role Beckham will be showcasing all of the user-friendly elements of Ninja's product range, starting with the Ninja Woodfire. He used the BBQ over the weekend on his Instagram stories to grill up a lunch of Italian sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and asparagus.

During our review of the Ninja Woodfire, our reviewer found that the BBQ 'makes delicious barbecued vegetables quickly', as well as being a speedy way to grill meat. That's something that David Beckham could only agree with as he remarked on the quick heat up and impressive '10 minute' cooking time of this electric grill.

There are a few different models in the Ninja Woodfire range, but all of them incorporate air frying, making this a world first garden air fryer, and therfore perfect for when you need to cater to a crowd in a pinch.

The exact model Beckham is using is the Ninja Woodfire Pro Connect (available for £449.99 from Ninja) which even allows users to sync the use of this grill with their phones, a handy feature for those who want to do more precise cooking.

Whether you're a Ninja obsessive already or if you fancy trying out the Woodfire off the back of David Beckham's recommendation, one thing we know after testing pretty much every Ninja product on the market is that once you've got one, you'll want the whole collection. All that's left to do now is decide what you'll be grilling up.
