David and Victoria BeckhamDavid and Victoria BeckhamWe've always wondered who wears the trousers in the Beckham household.

And now David has proved Victoria is clearly the one running the show.

The buff footballer says he won't put himself up as a date in a charity auction... in case it upsets Victoria.

When asked by Il Giornale newspaper if he would date wealthy Italian women to raise money for victims of the Abruzzo earthquake disaster the AC Milan star replied:

"I'm ready to do everything I can to help the Italians who live in Abruzzo.

"Everything except betray Victoria so I have to reply to the Milanese women - I'm married."

Blimey - Dave will really score some brownie points with Posh for that diplomatic decline.

He also revealed that the couple's sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz will choose the family's new Italian home: "I don't know where we'll live. Our children will decide and Victoria and I will obey."

Sounds like David has got his hands full.
