David Beckham sends 'get well soon' message to swine flu-infected niece

Ace footballer David Beckham has sent greetings to his swine flu-infected niece Georgina Every wishing her to get well soon from the Seychelles, where he is currently staying with his wife Victoria to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.

"David has been on the phone and he said to wish her well. She is getting better," the Daily Express quoted the soccer star's sister and Georgiana's mother, Married Lynne, as saying.

The 11-year-old is one of the three children in Georgina who have been diagnosed with swine flu, after a group of almost 90 children from St Edwards Church of England School in Romford, Essex, returned from an activity camp in Hindhead, Surrey.

But as a precautionary measure, all students, including Georgiana, are now off school, and are being given anti-viral drug Tamiflu.

Also, the English winger has been barred from seeing his older sister Lynne and her children - Georgina, Freddie, nine, and Joshua, four - as they have been told to stay at home in quarantine to prevent further spread of the contagious disease.

Spoke from her home in east London, Lynne said: "I got the phone call that Georgina was being sick on the holiday and they were bringing the children home. I took her to the doctor and he was 99 per cent sure she had it.

Former 'Big Brother' contestant and Welsh model Imogen Thomas was also diagnosed with the virus recently. (ANI)
