Lucky escape for Becks
While those people who snapped up tickets for the Spice Girls concerts mull over whether they would be better employed as novelty place mats, one man has been given the best possible excuse for not attending the forthcoming round of gigs.
David Beckham has revealed that wife Victoria has banned him from going to their first concert in Vancouver on Sunday, because she will be too nervous.
Well, some of those dance moves (the pointing and pouting in particular) can take a while to get the hang of.
David said: 'One minute Victoria is saying she wants me there and then it's "No, don't come to the first show, as we'll all be too nervous"'.
So it's TV dinners all round in the Beckham house on Sunday night.
