VICTORIA BECKHAM - BECKHAMS IN SHOWDOWN TALKS OVER AFFAIRS

Former SPICE GIRL VICTORIA BECKHAM and husband DAVID have returned to their British mansion for 'showdown' talks - amid reports of the soccer superstar's alleged affairs with two women.

The couple arrived at their Hertfordshire home - dubbed Beckingham Palace - today (12APR04), for talks following further revelations made in the British tabloids about Beckham's extra-marital affairs.

The REAL MADRID ace is expected to make a statement following discussions with his advisers - and it is understood he is considering legal action over the claims he cheated on his wife.

Victoria is publicly supporting her under-fire spouse - and last night (11APR04) appeared at Real Madrid's BERNABEU STADIUM to watch the home side lose to ATHLETICO OSASUNA.

Meanwhile TERRANCE (corr) MARBECK - the father of Malaysian-born SARAH MARBECK who claims she had a two-year affair with Beckham - is said to be "totally devastated" by his daughter's revelations.
