Beckham scores with Chanelle

BECKHAM SCORES WITH CHANELLE BECKS has scored with Big Brother babe Chanelle – and Posh was not amused.
When delighted David Beckham finally bagged his first goal for LA Galaxy, lovely Chanelle Hayes, 19, went into raptures.
But wife Victoria looked less than impressed as she gave David no more than a genteel clap.
The drama happened in front of a sell-out 17,000 crowd at the LA Galaxy stadium. At first many thought our BB girl was Posh.
Becks was on home soil from the off for the first time as his team met DC United .
It was 27 minutes into the game when a set-piece free kick saw David, 32, bend the ball into the top right corner.
The crowd went delirious, and leading the cheers and celebrations was Chanelle.
All eyes turned to see her rapturous approval of Becks’ scoring skills and most thought she must be the missus by the fuss she was making. But then the big screen gave the game away.
Cameras homed in on the VIP box where the Beckham family was seated .
There was the real Victoria, 33, hiding away behind a huge pair of shades giving a very regal little hand clap.
She looked distinctly put out that the BB lookalike seemed to be getting the lion’s share of the audience appreciation.
At least sons Brooklyn, eight, Romeo, four, and even little Cruz, two, were demonstrating the sort of excitement that Daddy’s talent deserved.
Cheeky Brooklyn even copied his dad’s tongue-out celebration as the midfielder ran down the pitchside.
Onlookers were shocked by the coldness of Victoria’s reaction.
One said: “She clapped, politely, like you’d expect someone to clap a half-decent cricket shot.
“But there was no moving her – she stayed firmly planted on her backside.
Looking at her you’d think David had won a corner rather than scored the first goal for a new club.”
Becks also set up the Galaxy’s second in their 2-0 win over DC in the SuperLiga cup semi-final.
After the match, a dazzled Chanelle said: “What an amazing goal. I can’t believe how close I was, right behind the net.
“I don’t know that much about football but I loved watching Beckham play. This is my first ever match and I think seeing that goal has been pretty spectacular.
“Coming to see David play and watching him score has been the highlight of my LA trip. I would fly here again just to watch him play.
“He is so gorgeous. I fell for him big time.”
One fan even came up to Chanelle and said: “I thought you were Victoria, but close up you’re younger and better looking.” Chanelle was one of hundreds of British fans who turned up at the match to support their favourite.
Some recognised the BB girl in the crowd.
Helen Brown, 35, of Milton Keynes, Bucks, said: “It’s one thing to come and see David play, but another to realise you are doing it sitting behind Chanelle.
“I recognised her immediately. As a family she was our favourite on the show.”
Merchandise sales have rocketed by a staggering 700% since Becks joined LA Galaxy.
Fan Erin Benjamin, 31, from LA, said: “Tonight is what Becks is all about.
“I videoed his goal on my phone and have already sent it to friends and told them this is why I support the Galaxy.”
What do YOU think? Should Becks trade grumpy Posh in for Chanelle? Comment NOW on Have Your Say.
