David Beckham is summoned to court

England football great David Beckham has been summoned to court.

Beckham has admitted to driving his Bentley while using a mobile phone—which is a violation of the law—, police have said, Sky Sports reported.

The former England captain was charged after a member of the public told police they saw the 43-year-old on the phone while driving in London’s West End, in November 2018.

The matter is listed to be heard at the Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday. But Beckham, who currently resides in the US, is not expected to attend, and members of the press and public will not be admitted.
