VICTORIA BECKHAM and her soccer ace husband DAVID BECKHAM are considering taking legal action over a British newspaper's claim that their marriage is on the verge of collapse.
The Beckhams are still fuming after a court refused to issue an order barring British tabloid the NEWS OF THE WORLD from publishing allegations by their former nanny ABBIE GIBSON yesterday (24APR05)
Lawyers for the Beckhams had argued that Gibson's contract included an obligation to not speak about the couple's private life, but the News Of The World said a High Court judge ruled in its favour because the story was in the public interest.
A spokesperson for the Beckhams announced yesterday morning (24APR05), "(We're) consulting our lawyers with a view to taking legal action."
Gibson told the News Of the World she witnessed a series of rows between the Beckhams during her employment at their home from August 2003 until she quit earlier this month (APR05).
The Story BECKHAMS ON VERGE OF SPLITTING SAYS FORMER NANNY VICTORIA and DAVID BECKHAM ferociously argue all the time and are on the verge of splitting up, according to the couple's former nanny.
ABBIE GIBSON overheard a number of vicious rows between the couple while she looked after their sons BROOKLYN and ROMEO.
She also claims she acted as the confidante for the ex-SPICE GIRL, who pleaded with her REAL MADRID soccer star spouse to remain with her until the birth of their third child CRUZ after they screamed at each other during a particularly heated dispute.
And David was so enraged during the fight, he threatened to walk out on their marriage, according to Gibson.
She tells British newspaper NEWS OF THE WORLD, "I know the truth more than anybody because I have lived under their roof for two years. Unfortunately I was the third person at the heart of their marriage.
"They had rows all the time. But a week before Christmas Day at their home in Madrid they hit a new level. I was in my bedroom and woke up to hear them arguing at about 2am on the landing. I heard David call Victoria a f**king b**ch.
"The next day after David had left for work and I had dropped Brooklyn at school Victoria and I were in the lounge. I said, 'Are you all right?' She started crying and said, 'I don't know what to do. He is on about splitting up. I am walking on egg shells. I have to make sure I don't trigger another argument. I have asked him to stay with me until the baby is born. I think things are slipping away from me.'"
