OHMYGOSSIP — David Beckham has revealed he used to go to cooking school three times a week. The former soccer star improved his culinary skills during his two loan spells with AC Milan by attending weekly classes for half a year with a top professional chef, but he admits the course also allowed him to develop a love for perfecting complicated dishes.

“Funnily enough, when I lived in Italy, I took a six-month culinary course at a professional chef’s school and learned to make real ragu and fresh pasta,” David said.

“I used to go there three times a week… I was obsessed with perfecting the risotto because it is difficult. I love cooking. It relaxes me. The kids love it too. Particularly when I make Milanese risotto with saffron.”
