Why Brooklyn denouncing his parents’ greed and self-obsession was inevitable, by Beckham biographer TOM BOWER – who now reveals the unsavoury hidden drama that led to meltdown… and what happened with ex Hana Cross

Okay, look, everyone says Brooklyn’s a bit spoiled, and maybe he is, but honestly? He just gets to me. Seriously, the poor guy! You can’t help but feel for him. I mean, think about it – his parents are basically obsessed with control, and his whole family is…well, a mess. He’s totally a victim of that, and it’s heartbreaking. He deserves so much better, honestly. I just feel so bad for him, he’s the sweetest!
