I married a tattooed yob, says Posh
Clinging on: Victoria and David Beckham
David and Victoria Beckham are still struggling to make sense of their marriage after a series of rows. Mrs Beckham is at her wits' end over the England captain's black moods as he tries to recover from his poor form on the pitch, friends are reported to have told a Sunday newspaper.
The wife who helped shape her husband's dress sense is also said to be dismayed at his growing penchant for tattoos and shaved hair. "She hates his looks, hates the tattoos all over his body and hates the way he swears and rants all the time," a Beckham insider is reported as saying.
"Victoria considers herself more high-bred than him and has been going around telling everyone 'I've married an Essex yob. He's lost the plot'."
Beckham, 29, is said to have been stung at criticism of his game and is desperate to recover from his slump.
In the aftermath of his affair with personal assistant Rebecca Loos, his wife and two sons have moved to Spain, where they have settled in a ?3.5million home. But the rows have continued.
Mrs Beckham, 30, who expects their third child in March, is said to be upset that they are arguing at a time when she needs more support from him.
The couple put on a united front at a Real Madrid home game on Saturday night with the footballer waving to his family from the pitch and later dedicating a goal to them.
And last night they shared a four-hour dinner in a private dining room at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid.
It was the same room that Beckham hired on Valentine's Day this year - just as the allegations about the Loos affair emerged.
He filled the room with flowers and candles and spent an estimated ?1,200 on the meal. The shadow of the Loos affair still lingers over the marriage, with the issues which led to Beckham straying unresolved.
"David has been depressed a lot over the criticism he has been getting about his footballing skills," the insider is reported as saying.
"When he is at home he just doesn't really talk to anyone and Victoria is upset about that.
"She is finding his mood swings impossible to put up with - whenever she sees him he is either silent or he is raging about something.
"Their marriage problems ten months ago were mainly about Victoria's reluctance to move to Spain and her unwillingness to abandon her pop career.
"This time, though, it is the other way around - David is the one causing the problems. Victoria has done as he asked and moved to Spain permanently - although she does still spend time at home in Hertfordshire - but they are still arguing.
"When she became pregnant again, she thought this would be the start of happier times but she is devastated that it is not working out like that."
On the pitch, Beckham appears to have become increasingly petulant. He received a yellow card after challenging Dietmar Kuhbauer in last week's England game against Austria and was instrumental in the team's refusal to be interviewed after victory against Poland.
"Beckham has reached the end of his tether," the family insider is reported as saying. "He can't handle the criticism he has been receiving over his football. "Victoria really wants the marriage to work and deep down so does he, but she can't understand where all the anger is coming from.
"There is pressure everywhere - from his footballing skills to his marriage problems - and he has turned from being this nice, placid guy in touch with his feminine side to something else." A spokesman for the Beckhams denied there were problems in the marriage.

Becks in tears as son starts school
Parting is such sweet sorrow: Becks wipes away the tears after dropping Brooklyn off at school
His wife has allegedly branded him a 'vain, arrogant Essex yob'. But David Beckham showed his sensitive side yesterday when he broke down in tears after dropping off his son for his first day at school.
The England captain, 29, held it together as he hugged five-year-old Brooklyn goodbye at the gates.
But when he turned and walked away it all proved too much - and the tears began to flow.
As he made his way back to his car, he held his hand to his mouth as he fought to control his emotions.
An onlooker said: "It was all too much for Brooklyn and he burst into tears. David carried him in his arms through the gates but the emotion of it all must have got to him, too."
The Beckhams are terrified of Brooklyn being kidnapped and his first day at Madrid's exclusive Runnymede College sparked a major security operation.
The family hired bodyguards to patrol the school premises all day. One burly minder arrived at 6am, three hours before roll call, to monitor arrivals.
Runnymede is Spain's most expensive English school at ?1,300 a term and most pupils are the children of diplomats or business executives.
The Beckhams' marriage is said to be on the rocks, with David on the verge of breakdown.
The pair are heading for separation, it is claimed.
But his wife, 30, will be cheered to learn Runnymede has a famous former pupil - her husband's alleged ex-lover Rebecca Loos.

Two arrested over Beckham security theft
Two men have been arrested over the theft of a computer containing security details about David Beckham and his family, police have revealed.
It was alleged to have been stolen from a company brought in to boost protection arrangements for the England captain. The firm alerted police after alleged attempts at blackmail over the contents of files about the Beckhams on the computer's hard drive, the Sun reported.
They were said to include detailed information on the family's security arrangements at home and abroad as well as the positioning of all the cameras and alarms at their Hertfordshire mansion.
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "I can confirm two men have been arrested in relation to allegations of theft and blackmail relating to a property at the centre of a dispute with a security company. "Both were questioned and released on bail pending enquiries."
Police said the men were both from South Yorkshire and had been bailed to return to a Rotherham police station at a later date. The Sun said that one of its reporters was offered a computer allegedly containing the information, which it handed over to the police.
The computer was allegedly taken from Leeds-based Chase Security Management, which was employed by the Beckhams. Its boss, Peter Consterdine, told The Sun: "I have passed on all this to the police because we have had an extortion demand. "The information is our proprietary information, and confidential, and they are now using that to blackmail us."
The files showed that every member of the Beckham family has had DNA swabs taken and stored by police for identification in case they are kidnapped and held to ransom, the Sun reported.
David, Victoria, and her parents Tony and Jackie were advised to take a special driving course on how to tackle "security threats" while out on the road, the newspaper said. It reported that the masterplan was sent to every police control room including Scotland Yard as a guideline on how to tackle an emergency.
