Hollywood actor and fitness guru Mark Wahlberg is being sued by David Beckham after a deal that saw the footballer promote the star's fitness brand turned sour - and allegedly left Golden Balls more than £8million out of pocket.

Becks, 48, is suing the actor and his business associates after the partnership with F45, which saw the midfielder promote his own range of personalised workouts, went south in a row over shares he claimed to have been promised.

The case has rumbled on for several years after Beckham and golfing legend Greg Norman filed cases against F45 in Californian courts in October 2022 - before a judge reportedly ruled they had to file separate lawsuits.

Beckham's firm, David Beckham Ventures Ltd (DBVL) had earlier sought damages of as much as $18.85million (£15.2million) from F45, according to filings made last year.

But the new case now seeks damages directly from Wahlberg's Mark Wahlberg Investment Group as well as F45's founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch, according to reports.
