Beckhams' nannies decide to quit

Two nannies who were working for David and Victoria Beckham have walked out on the couple.

Zara, from New Zealand, had been employed by the pair for over a year, while Londoner Claire lasted six months. Both decided to quit after growing tired of the way that they were treated by "bossy" Posh.

A source told the News of the World: "You'd imagine it's a dream job working for celebrities like that in California. But these two trained professionals said it was a nightmare. They complained Victoria spoke down to them, her mother Jackie bossed them about and they felt like dogsbodies."

Zara and Claire were paid to look after the Beckhams' three children, but they resented being asked to take on cooking and cleaning chores.

Another insider added: "Both girls ended up having to cook and clean up for all the family. Victoria and Jackie constantly nagged and ordered them about. Some days they were on the go from 6am to midnight. The pay was OK but they just got sick of it."
