ACCORDING to Victoria Beckham, her husband is an animal in bed. Many wives could lay claim to that proud boast.

Sad to say, the passing of time will leave such animal behaviour a dwindling memory. It's the old school that breeds longevity in lovemaking.

The David Beckhams of this world don't stand a chance of doing the course and distance. I'd hate to see them 30 years from now.

PS The trouble is, Mrs Beckham is so thin, you could lose her between the sheets!
