David Beckham returns to UK after Dad's heart attack

David and Victoria Beckham Posh and Becks – as they’ve been dubbed by the media – met at a charity football match in 1997, prompting David to ask for the Spice Girl’s number. After a passionate – and quick – courtship, the pair announced their engagement in 1998, and were married a year later at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland on 4 July. In 2008, England footballing ace David announced he was accepting a contract with the LA Galaxy soccer team, and the picture-perfect pair – and their three children Brookyln, Romeo and Cruz - decamped to America. Ever since, ‘brand Beckham’ have become part of the A-list social set (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are on speed-dial), and are fast becoming one of Tinseltown’s most dazzling duos. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/158438/victoria-beckham.html

David Beckham is returning to England today, to be at the bedside of his sick father.

Ted Beckham suffered a heart attack last night, and was taken to Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone, East London. Paramedics arrived at the Essex home of Mr Beckham at 9.20pm last night, and he was resuscitated on route to the hospital.

The 59-year-old is now recovering in a central London private hospital, where David will join him today.

This will be David's first return visit to the UK since his move to play for LA Galaxy. It is thought that wife Victoria will remain in America.
