A bit quiffy! David Beckham is turning into Jedward

Usually David Beckham is the one setting the trends but it looks as though the footballer's new haircut was inspired by an unlikely source - X Factor's Jedward.

His latest hairdo, which he showed off at an LA Galaxy match at the weekend, has a sense of the quiff - à la John and Edward - about it.

But the soccer star, 34, who was cheered on by four-year-old son Cruz - also showing off a new short back and sides - appeared to have trouble making his quiff as gravity-defying as those sported by the talent show contestants.

Having football's first family in their fanbase can only be a good thing for the Irish twins - particularly when the Jedward backlash looks set to grow after they controversially went through to the next round last night.
