David and Victoria Beckham have been forced to sell their house in the South of France because it is haunted.

The house, bought by the couple three years ago, is apparently haunted by the previous owner, Leslie Duck, who shot himself in 2001.

An insider remarked, "Nobody told David and Victoria about the ghost until after they had boughtthe property.

"Victoria is seriously spooked and refuses to set foot in it. After three years of avoiding the place, they've finally decided to sell it."

The luxury home is reportedly going on the market for £1.5 million.
