Alleged adultery aside, David Beckham is fast becoming the perfect husband. Not only is the superstar footballer a devoted father of three and loving husband to Victoria, he’s now taking on the role of family cook, enrolling in a culinary course in Italy.

Returning to Europe after a short stint in the US playing for Los Angeles football team, the Galaxy, David is now a happy member of Italian club AC Milan and is taking advantage of his new home. Making the most of living in Italy, he’s determined to master the art of pasta-making.

“I've joined a culinary school and I'm on a course that entails 120 hours of lessons and cooking. It's something I've always wanted to do. I've always loved cooking. Now I'm in Italy, I want to learn how to make amazing pasta.”

And to make sure he’s got it just right, he’s letting celebrity chef and close pal Gordon Ramsey give it a test. “I don't know about cooking for a group of people at a dinner party quite yet, but you never know. I'd love to cook for Gordon, and I definitely will one day.”
