David plays dutiful son, Posh a caring sis


The Beckhams are dealing with a family crisis. David flew home on Wednesday night to be with his dad Ted who is fighting for his life after suffering a heart attack.A shocked Becks was told that Ted, 55, ‘died’ on the way to hospital, but the ambulance staff managed to revive him. The gas fitter was last night being treated at the heart unit in University College Hospital, Central London. Frantic David took the first flight from Los Angeles, leaving his family behind.A source said, “Ted suffered a heart attack on Tuesday and had to be resuscitated. He was taken to Whipps Cross Hospital in East London, then moved to a specialist heart unit. Ted’s ex-wife Sandra and daughters, Lynne and Joanne, have already been told. David just wants to be by his dad’s side now.”David and his father famously fell out in 2005 after Ted wrote a book - David Beckham: My Son - without telling him. Becks and wife Victoria banned Ted from Christmas dinner at Beckingham Palace and their glamorous pre-World Cup party.But Becks and Ted healed their rift last year when David gave his father tickets for England’s World Cup matches. Ted said in July, “I don’t see David very often, just a few times a year. I’m still very proud of him though, he’s a brilliant player.”Meanwhile, Victoria, seen as a high-profile socialite, has assumed a better role - that of a responsible elder sister. She has been helping her younger sister cope with the pain of marriage breakdown.Louise Adams, 28, has split from Hayden Isted, 30, a mobile phone company boss, after five years. Victoria, 33, has been supporting her since the break-up six months back.Ex-model Louise told a friend on a night out at London’s Embassy Club: “It’s over. We just fell out of love. Victoria’s been great with everything, incredibly supportive.”The couple have children aged three and five. And Louise, who runs her own clothes shop, has a girl of nine from a previous relationship. She seemed to have put the worst behind her on Tuesday night as she said, “I’m looking for a new man.”
