Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham is expecting her fourth child with husband David Beckham.

The couple said the baby was due in the summer, but did not reveal whether it was a boy or a girl.

A spokesperson for David and Victoria said they were “naturally delighted”. The pair already have three boys - Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5.

In a statement on his Facebook page, David Beckham said: “I've got some great news to tell you all.

“Victoria and I are expecting our fourth child this summer. The boys are very excited about the arrival of a new brother or sister."

The announcement coincides with the family's return to the UK while David trains with Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
