The funniest joke of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has been announced – and it pokes fun at the Beckhams.

The competition is judged by comedy critics and fans – and organised by TV channel Dave.

It was won by Canadian comic Stewart Francis – whose winning joke was “You know who really gives kids a bad name?… Posh and Becks”.

David and Victoria Beckham’s children are called Romeo, Cruz, Brooklyn and Harper Seven.
