By Sarah Smithon Friday, 28 Sep 2007 David Beckham rushed back to the UK yesterday after his father suffered a heart attack.
The former England football captain flew out of Los Angeles on Wednesday, arriving at Heathrow on Thursday to visit his father who is being treated at London Chest Hospital.
East Londoner Edward Beckham is divorced from David's mother Sandra, with whom he has two other children called Lynne and Joanne.
A spokesperson for the Beckhams said: "His father has had a heart attack and is currently being treated in hospital."
He added that it was David's priority while he was in the UK to be with his Dad.
Victoria, aka Posh Spice, is currently preparing for the Spice Girls reunion tour and will fly into the UK shortly to be with her husband.
The dishy football star moved to LA this year with Victoria and their three children, Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn, to play with Los Angeles football team LA Galaxy.
Since the pair have gone stateside they have been snapped with a number of A-list celebs including Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez.
