David Beckham & Victoria Beckham Rush Back To The UK After His Father Has A Heart Attack
Both David Beckham and Victoria have rushed back to the UK in the past 24 hours after David’s father had a massive and very sudden heart attack.
Ted Beckham was rushed to hospital by ambulance after complaining of chest pains. Beckham senior apparently almost died on the way to Whipps Cross hospital in East London. After being treated for a time there, he was swiftly moved to a specialist heart clinic.
Becks was told the news in LA where he is currently plying his trade as a footballer for LA Galaxy and immediately made plans to come home to be with his family. He arrived in the UK this afternoon, landing at Heathrow airport at about midday.
A spokesman for the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star said:
“His priority is to see his dad and that is his first concern.�
Victoria meanwhile is currently in Japan promoting her DVB range of jeans and the forthcoming Spice Girls world tour. She has cancelled all her PR commitments and is due back in the UK either later today or early tomorrow.
David has had a bit of a troubled relationship with his dad in recent years for various reasons. First Ted split from his wife and David’s mother Sandra in 2002 causing a rift in the family.
And then Ted wrote a book about the former England captain in 2004 which prompted David to stop speaking to him at all.
The pair had an emotional reunion earlier this year and hopefully this tragedy will help bring them back together even more strongly. Ted is said to currently be in a stable condition.
