DAVID BECKHAM’s childhood home is on the market for a whopping $1.29 million (GBP850,000) - almost four times the value of similar properties in the area.
The soccer ace grew up in a tiny terrace house in Leytonstone, east London before he reached superstar status and could afford to splash out on a single pad.
Beckham lived at the address with mum Sandra and dad Ted, before leaving aged 14 after he was signed up for the youth training scheme with soccer supergroup Manchester United.
The three bedroomed house is worth about $380,000 (GBP250,000) - but its connection to the star has seen its value soar.
The property is being advertised as “Lucky leafy Leytonstone, celebrity hotspot - London’s answer to Hollywood.”

The three-year-old completed his look with a pair of aviator shades during his day at the shops.

Laterm he got into the Christmas spirit by swapping his pith helmet for a Santa hat. The pair stopped off at Santa’s grotto, but Cruz was not happy to find that it doesn’t open for another fortnight and needed some consoling.

Still, he had a smile and wave for photographers, unlike Victoria, who looked typically glum as she tottered down the street in a green suede shift dress and Christian Louboutin boots.

Cruz has demonstrated a fondness for fancy dress, recently venturing out as Buzz Lightyear and one of the Power Rangers.

He is also a talented breakdancer, delighting fans on the Spice Girls world tour by busting some moves on stage.

However, Victoria and footballer husband David believe their middle son Romeo is most likely to have a career in the spotlight. “Romeo is the performer in our family. He’s going to be the next Justin Timberlake,” according to David.

The footballer will be leaving the sunny climes of Los Angeles in January for a spell at AC Milan. However, it is reported that Victoria is unwilling to uproot the family again and will remain in the US. David is due to return to LA Galaxy in March for the start of the MLS season

 David Beckham and wife Victoria Beckham can officially add Madonna to their impressive list of A-list friends.
The couple was spotted dining with Madge at celebrity hotspot Nobu in Los Angeles last night.
Madonna had a 5-day (much needed) break from her Sticky & Sweet tour and has been getting some R&R in LA. In case you were wondering, her rumored beau A-Rod is currently in Miami, so it wasn’t a double date.

Style guru VICTORIA BECKHAM will spend two months in one of the world’s fashion capitals - the designer will accompany her soccer ace husband DAVID to Europe as he trains with a team in Milan, Italy.
The England midfielder will head to professional club A.C. Milan on loan from U.S. team Los Angeles Galaxy in January (09) in a bid to stay on top form.
And now Victoria has confirmed that she and their three sons - Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six, and three year old Cruz - will also journey to Italy.

She says, “It will literally be for two months because the season finishes here in L.A. and David will go to train with A.C. Milan.

“We are so supportive, myself and the children. It’s a great opportunity for him and we are very excited about spending time in Milan.”
And the former Spice Girl is convinced her fashionable surroundings will have an influence on her designs.

She adds: “Obviously I will be very busy as well because I will be preparing to show my next collection in February in New York.”I have so many friends there and my experience of Italy is great. The best thing you can give a designer is the ability to travel and experience different cultures, countries, and so for me, it’s huge.”
