Posh buys Becks pig for Christmas

Victoria Beckham has reportedly bought her footballer husband David two micro pigs for Christmas.

The former Spice Girl is understood to have spent £1,400 on the latest celebrity must-haves.

Victoria apparently "fell in love" with the nine-inch long animals and has temporarily named them after friends David Furnish and Elton John.

The latest additions to the Beckham family will be kept at their country estate in Hertfordshire.

"Micro pigs are incredibly clean and easy to house-train," a source told the Daily Mirror.

"They will be given the run of the place and could even end up watching TV on David and Victoria's laps."

Micro pigs weight just 9oz when they are born and eventually grow to be around 14 inches tall.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is thought to own one of the animals.
