Leave my family alone, screams Beckham!

Monday, 13 December 2004

Soccer superstar David Beckham has lashed out at the sensational gossip aimed at creating trouble in his married life. "Leave my family alone," fumed Beckham.

The Real Madrid midfielder was very upset after some reports claimed that he would sideline his family on Christmas Day to spend time with Victoria's family.

"I don't understand why these people are trying to drive a wedge between Victoria and me by attacking our families," The Sun quoted David as saying to a close friend.

"I''m fed-up with people saying I don't care about my parents and my sisters. It couldn't be further from the truth.

I'm not pushed around by Victoria or her family. We'll all spend Christmas Day together at our house.

My mum and sister will be there, my nan and granddad and so will Victoria's family.

We're all very excited about it because it's a very special time for us," Beckham said.

The England skipper and his wife have been in the news this week after it was reported that Hollywood actress Liz Hurley, music icon Elton John and Victoria's parents - Tony Adams and Jackie-had been invited to be the godparents to their two sons Brooklyn and Romeo-during their forthcoming baptism around Christmas.

It was also then stated that David's parents - Ted and Sandra-had been excluded from the ceremony.
