David Beckham has admitted that he struggles with his six-year-old son's maths homework.

The England captain was clueless when Brooklyn asked for help and had to request wife Victoria's assistance.

"Their homework is so hard these days," Beckham told The Mail on Sunday’s Live magazine. "I sat down with Brooklyn the other day and I was so like, 'Victoria, maybe you should do the homework tonight.'

"It's totally done different to what I was teached when I was at school. I was like, 'Oh my God, I can't do this.'"
