That’s the question bookies Paddy Power are asking today after seeing a gamble on ‘Brand Beckham’ becoming the first celebrity pair to split in 2010.

The bookmaker slashed the odds on Victoria and David calling it a day from 80/1 to 33/1, to 18/1 before finally settling at 10/1. The odds were chopped after a number of new customers signed up with paddypower.com to have a maximum stake bet on the celebrity market.

The odds are available under ‘hatches, matches and dispatches’ on the bookies website. The price move has now sparked fears that a shock split announcement could be about to break for one of the world’s most famous couples.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “The Beckham’s were 80/1 on our list as they’ve been through some tough times before but always showed a united front – it’s hard to imagine them splitting up but there IS a reason why these people are having a bet -we just don’t know it yet!”

It’s not the first time the Irish bookmaker has reported a gamble on their 2010 ‘Hatches, Matches and Dispatches’ market. On 23rd December Paddy Power saw a significant number of bets come in for Cheryl and Ashley Cole to become the first celebrity couple to announce they’re having a baby in 2010. The couple are still the Even money favourites but it remains to be seen whether or not Mrs Cole has a bun in the oven!
