England captain David Beckham has admitted that he finds six-year-old son Brooklyn's homework too tough to tackle.

In an interview for the Mail On Sunday's Live magazine, he said he has to turn to wife Victoria for help with Brooklyn's maths.

"Their homework is so hard these days," said the soccer star.

"It's done totally differently to what I was teached when I was at school."

He said that when Brooklyn turned to him for help recently, "I was like, 'Oh my God, I can't do this'".
