A listener called in to BBC Radio 5 Live claiming David Beckham stopped to help after his car broke down.

Speaking to Richard Bacon, Paul Long explained he was on the school run when he got stranded on a busy roundabout in Hertfordshire.

''Cars were buzzing past and I had two kids in the back but no one stopped, no one came to help.

"After 10 minutes I saw a car had pulled over into a lay-by in the distance. Its hazard lights came on.

"A figure got out, wearing a hoodie. This sort of slipped down and as he got nearer it became apparent to me it was David Beckham.

"I said, 'You're, David Beckham' and then he nodded.

"He asked if we were OK and I said, 'Could you give us a push over to the side?' which he duly did. Someone else came to help as well.''
