Victoria Beckham is "petrified" about her son learning to ride a motorcycle next year.

The former Spice Girls singer is worried about Brooklyn getting his moped licence when he turns 16 next March after her husband David crashed his bike in August.

A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Victoria is petrified. It's every mum's worst nightmare when their child wants a motorbike. But Brooklyn is so determined, he loves it as much as his dad.

"He loves motorcycles and can't wait to be 16 next spring, when he can take his test."

The 40-year-old designer would never stop her children - including Romeo, 12, Cruz, nine, and Harper, three - from doing anything they want to do but she's hoping Brooklyn changes his mind about getting a bike.

The source explained: "David and Victoria would never want to stop their children doing anything but she is hoping Brooklyn changes his mind. It scares the living daylights out of her."

David, 39, was left battered and bruised this summer after he came off his motorcycle in Los Angeles as he was leaving a Sunset Boulevard tattoo parlour.

He said at the time: "It was not a great experience but I was lucky. Riding bikes is dangerous at times."
