Elton John’s cheeky nickname for David and Victoria Beckham revealed after yacht antics

Tom Bower’s new book, The House of Beckham, explores David and Victoria’s marriage, the former footballer’s alleged affair with Rebecca Loos and the couple’s relationship with the Royal family.

Elton John reportedly coined a biting moniker for David and Victoria Beckham after getting wind of their supposed antics aboard his yacht.

In the explosive new book by Tom Bower, The House of Beckham, the spotlight is thrown on the couple’s union and David’s rumoured infidelity, as well as bombshell revelations about the Beckhams’ fraying ties with the Royal Family, particularly their cooling relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Rebecca Loos, who sensationally alleged an affair with the soccer star in 2004, is said to be keen to tell all about the supposed liaison after being appalled by David’s treatment of a waitress.

Sir Elton is also reported to have cracked jokes about David and Victoria following their behaviour towards his yacht crew.

Allegedly, the legendary musician dubbed the pair “Takeums” after they neglected to leave a gratuity for his staff during a stay on his luxury vessel.

Last month, the Sunday Times Rich List estimated the Beckhams’ fortune at a staggering £455 million.

Elton has enjoyed a close-knit friendship with Posh Spice for over thirty years and even made a brief appearance in the 1997 hit film Spice World.

Victoria once disclosed that it was Elton who inspired her to bid farewell to the Spice Girls, penning an emotional letter to her older self where she confessed that watching him perform made her realise that her true calling lay beyond singing and dancing.

In a heartfelt note she said: “Remember years ago, watching your dear friend Elton John on stage in Las Vegas? He performed Tiny Dancer, as if it were the first time, and you realised this was like oxygen for him.

“It was a life-changing moment – while singing and dancing was fun for you, it wasn’t your passion. That day, you started your quest to uncover your own dreams. It was time to step away from being a Spice Girl.”

The bond between the Beckhams and Elton John is indeed strong, with the legendary musician often vacationing with the Beckham clan.

The Beckham offspring affectionately call him Uncle Elton, and David has playfully cautioned “Watch out uncle” alongside a clip of their son Cruz showcasing his piano talent.

Bower’s explosive new book throws light on what he claims was a pivotal moment in the Beckhams’ marriage, which has spanned nearly a quarter of a century.

According to the author, Rebecca Loos’ frustration with David’s attitude towards a waitress sparked a major marital challenge.

Bower asserts: “The turning point for Loos was realising Beckham’s double standards. After a meal for SFX employees at Madrid’s Hard Rock Cafe, Beckham did not leave a tip.”

The next day, the waitress gave Loos a note for Beckham, expressing her shock at how someone so renowned and affluent could be so stingy. She explained that she relied on tips to get by.

Bowers notes that David was surprised after reading the note and handed over a substantial amount of euros, stating, “‘Give her this”.

He further adds: “Reflecting in February about how Beckham had manipulated her and lied to her, Loos was furious.”
