David Beckham posts 'damage limitation' photo with daughter Harper, 5, as he calls in police over 'Beckileaks' email hack amid fears more shocking revelations may emerge about his thoughts on other celebrities
As the fallout over the leaked email scandal continued today, David Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn posted a picture of his father cuddling his young sister Harper in a touching photograph posted on Instagram (left). The former England captain has seen his reputation tarnished after damning emails between the superstar and his team of advisors were leaked. The emails allegedly showed how desperate Becks was to ensure he was made 'Sir David' - and the lengths to which he would go to achieve his goal, even using his charity work. Police officers have launched a probe in Portugal, where 18.6million emails and documents were hacked from servers of Beckham's PR firm. Team Beckham is now said to be worried that more private correspondence could include 'banter' about several well-known figures. The leak comes as a bitter blow to the popularity of Brand Beckham, which has been carefully cultivated over several years by David and Victoria (pictured right), who share several celebrity friends.

Revealed: UK defence 'at risk' due to billions wasted on trophy kit including warships that 'sound like a box of spanners' and can be heard by Russian subs 100 MILES away
The Ministry of Defence was criticised last night for leaving Britain vulnerable to attack due to a series of equipment blunders. Rear Admiral Chris Parry described the navy's Type 45 destroyers (top right), which cost £1billion each, as sounding like 'a box of spanners' underwater, meaning they can be heard 100 miles away by Russian submarines. It also emerged that the Ajax tank (bottom left) is too big to be transported by an A400m aircraft (bottom right) without being dismantled and potential new P-8 drones (top left) are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Inset: The MoD spent £1.2bn on drones 12 years ago which have not been used due to faults.
