Brooklyn Beckham, son of footballer David Beckham, has become the latest of a long line of fishkeeping celabrities, says The Sun.

The Beckhams bought Brooklyn three goldfish which he has named after David's football team members: Rio Ferdinand, Ronald and Figo.

A friend of the family told The Sun: "The kids really wanted new pets.

"And with them travelling so much, Victoria was delighted when they fell in love with the fish because they are easy to keep.

"So she bought three of them plus a simple bowl and a few packets of feed."

We hope that Mrs Beckham has added a filter to their bowl and realises that she will need to upgrade it to a larger tank shortly...
