Becks is now a reality TV star

ENGLAND footie star David Beckham is making a warts and all TV show about his megabucks move to Los Angeles.

ITV cameras have been following Becks as he plays his final matches for Real Madrid.

And they will go with him to California where he will be unveiled as LA Galaxy’s new £128million player.

The midfield ace will also give “full and frank” interviews about his move.

Wife Victoria and kids Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz will NOT feature much because producers wanted the show to be more “football-focused”.

But ITV plans to buy former Spice Girl Victoria’s US TV show, which charts her side of the move.

The show was originally ordered as a major series on NBC, but is now expected to air as a 60-minute one-off on American cable channel Bravo.

An insider said: “David’s move to LA Galaxy is an historic event. It is great he has let in the cameras. Viewers will get an amazing insight into his thoughts about the story that shook the world of football. It will be riveting.”

ITV boss Jeff Anderson said: “The move to America and the recall to the England team adds a new and fascinating chapter to the David Beckham story.

“We’re delighted to have access to that story from the inside.”

Former Spice Girls boss Simon Fuller is making the 60-minute show through his 19TV company.

Fuller, who masterminded Becks’ move to the States, said: “It has been a dramatic few weeks in the life of this iconic footballer.

“It has been fascinating to watch the story unfold and this documentary will give the public an insight into this extraordinary series of events.”

19TV boss Martha Brass said: “There is a great appetite from broadcasters around the world for this show.” ITV previously aired 19TV’s David Beckham A Footballer’s Story.
