Black Cocker Spaniel Olive has previously made several appearances on the fashion designer's social media pages but now has one of her own after being signed up under the handle 'olivebeckham23'.

Olive's first post yesterday (14.12.15) was a picture of herself being cuddled by the couple's eldest son Brooklyn, 16.

It was captioned: "This is my owner I'm just helping him with his Christmas homework."

The second post from the account was a video of Olive playing fetch with the teenager.

Victoria, 41, introduced the dog to her fans in September with an Instagram picture.

She wrote at the time:"Meet Olive Beckham x our new baby x (sic)"

As well as Olive, the couple - who have three other children, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 10, and four-year-old Harper - have a Shar-Pei pooch named Barnaby and two bulldogs named Coco and Scarlet.

Olive - who follows just five people on the photo-sharing website - has already amassed over 51,000 followers in just one day.

However, she has a long way to go to become as popular as another celebrity dog - Lady Gaga's pet, Miss Asia Kinney.

The French bulldog has over 200,000 followers and has even modelled for Coach.
