Romeo's Got Talent: Now little Beckham plays a recorder with his nose

Updated 08:28am on 22 Apr 2008

Now Romeo, that's not in the manual!

Five-year-old Beckham may have spent the afternoon studying his Learn And Play Recorder guidebook but that didn't stop him from testing out a rather unorthodox method - playing it thorough his nose... and upside down.

Low note: Romeo Beckham ignored his 'Learn and Play Recorder' manual opting for his own techique

Ta da! Romeo catches of the attention of his grandparents but his mother and pal Kate Beckinsale kept their eyes on the match

Trend: Claire Hawes tried a similar method while auditioning for Britain's Got Talent

Perhaps he's eyeing up a career as a reality TV star, following the footsteps of Britain's Got Talent hopeful Claire Hawes, who left judges speechless with a similar technique.

Romeo was working on his act while his father David, 32, and his LA Galaxy team were defeated by Toronto FC 3-2 on Sunday.

He was joined in the stands by Victoria, her new best friend Kate Beckinsale, 34, and her director husband Len Wiseman, 35.

Posh's parents Jackie, 59, and Tony Adams, 60, were also in the cheer squad after travelling to the US to help the former Spice Girl ring in her 34th birthday on Thursday.

David, 33, admitted he was crushed - by the defeat, not Romeo's apparent lack of musical ability - saying after the match: "We are disappointed. It's obviously not the result we wanted."

Nicole in Scotland - actually one of my three daughters is in fact a doctor and yes I have a full time job and no, I don't sit on this particular website all day but my job does entail looking through all newspapers and collating stories however serious or ludicrous. And I am not at all bitter I have had a brilliant life and have three very successful children with families I just do not understand what all the fuss is about around someone who is so talentless.

Minime it sounds like you have nothing better to do than sit on this web page all day and leave stupid bitter comments he is a kid give him a break....do you even have a job? Are your children going to be doctors? Didn't think so!

Minime your bitterness has been very obviously directed towards Victoria Beckham on various occasions. If I had a child who played the recorder like that, it's just a little joke, isn't it? Children, especially little boys, are foolish that way, and it's part of their childhood isn't it? So you can't rip a person apart for not providing good education for their children because this isn't education. This is fun and games. None of us, when we were children, didn't fool around at all some point in our lives. And you take the title way too seriously. You've got to lighten up.

Gosh! So that is the kind of education money buys nowadays! Wow, I am so pleased I am skint and my children have had a good old fashioned education - you know normal school, normal A-levels, normal University and normal First and 2 x 2-1 results. How on earth can you call that a talent. It is about as talentless as his mothers singing.
