Tom Grennan has revealed that he left David Beckham disappointed after he threw up following a sparring session with the star.

The singer, 27, told William Hill’s Stripped Podcast that he ended up boxing with Becks, 47, after being invited along by a friend – but managed to embarrass himself in front of the footballer.

He explained: ‘My mate Pete, he is Beckham’s good mate but is also David and Victoria’s personal trainer.

‘He was like, “Do you want to come and do some boxing with Becks and me?” I was like, “Uh yeah, definitely.”’

However, keeping up with the professional athlete wasn’t easy, as Tom admitted: ‘I was well unfit at the time though, so I was having to put my brave face on, boxing away.

‘I could feel myself about to be sick. I couldn’t be sick in front of Beckham, so I ran out of the room and was sick in the bathroom!’

Tom didn’t manage to get away with it unfortunately, revealing: ‘I then walked back into the room and he shook his head in disappointment. Becks thought I was a wuss!’

The musician also told William Hill that he had been a fan of David’s former team, Manchester United, all his life.

‘The reason I am a Manchester United fan is because I have a big Irish family, and all my cousins over there are massive football fans,’ he revealed.

‘I really do think, being from Ireland you are either Liverpool or United, and my cousins were United.

‘There is a picture of me, five days after being born and I am in a United baby grow. It’s always been in me to be a United fan. I’ve always been connected to the badge.’

He even managed to play alongside some of his heroes in Soccer Aid, adding: ‘Playing with those legends on the pitch, I remember the ball getting kicked to me, I look up and see [Wayne] Rooney coming at me. I passed the ball past him, dropped a shoulder, and got round him.

‘I remember Jamie Carragher taking the ball off him and slicing a ball 30 yards to Patrice Evra. I just thought these are my heroes, seeing Paul Scholes just whipping it about.

‘It was surreal, it still gives me butterflies talking about it.’
