SCOTSMAN Shaun Campbell is hoping to make his fortune with the face of England football captain David Beckham.

The Edinburgh-born 21-year-old, who often gets mistaken for the Manchester United star, has launched a career as a Becks look-alike.

So far, his £100 an hour assignments have included appearing on TV pilot shows and, bizarrely, handing out medals at the Highland Games in Montrose with a Posh Spice look-alike.

Shaun, who lives in Brandon, said: "I wasn't sure what to expect at the Highland Games. I got one bit of abuse.

"But I even got asked for my autograph and I got mobbed by about seven or eight people."

The Newcastle United fan, who used to work in a Durham nightclub, admits Beckham is a fantastic footballer.

But despite living south of the border since he was eight, his national football allegiance still lies with his native country.

"If Scotland don't do well, which they don't do anyway, I go for England."

Shaun, who has signed to two agencies, says he often gets comments on his appearance when he is out.

On one occasion he was kissing his blonde girlfriend Jennifer Tobin, 20, and a passer-by thought he'd spotted the real Becks cheating on his Spice Girl star wife.

Shaun has just had his hair re-styled from Becks' World Cup look to ensure he looks as authentic as possible.

But he has a fair way to go to reach the Beckhams' lavish lifestyle.

While the golden couple live with baby Brooklyn in their £2.3m Hertfordshire mansion - dubbed Beckingham Palace - home for Shaun is a three-bed terrace house in the former pit village.

While Becks, who is reputed to earn up to £80,000 a week, has a collection of luxury cars including an Aston Martin and a Porsche, Shaun has yet to pass his test.

"I just see myself as me,'' Shaun said. "It's hard to see myself as Becks. Acting like him is pretty funny but I get treated like him."
