China snaps up rights to Beckham autobiography

China has become the latest country to snap up the rights to David Beckham's autobiography.

Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa have also got the rights to the book

Publishers Harper Collins say the demand for the book is so high, they are printing one million copies.

It's written by Beckham with football pundit and former EastEnders actor, Tom Watt, says The Sun.

The Rights Director for Harper Collins, Lucy Vanderbilt said: "I can't think of any other autobiography that has attracted so much international interest.

"Beckham is a worldwide success and his many fans abroad seem as eager to read his story as we are in the UK."

It's believed pre-orders for the book have exceeded all UK records for an autobiography.
