Victoria and David Beckham's son Romeo has been released from hospital after the three-year-old suffered a fit.

It was his second convulsion in four days - and the third in three months.

The couple were preparing to take him off to Madrid's La Paz hospital for tests on Tuesday as a follow up to the fit he had over the weekend, when he suddenly started fitting again.

A frantic Posh and Becks then rushed Romeo to Ruber International Hospital in the Spanish capital where he was admitted.

David and Victoria hadbedded down together in a private room next to Romeo's for his first night, whilst Brooklyn and Cruz stayed at home with David's mum Sandra and the nanny.

It is understood Beckham will join up with the England squad and the rest of his family - including Romeo - will fly to the UK.

A friend of the family had told The Sun: "It's one of the worst things in the world for a parent to see their child in hospital when they don't know what's wrong."

Becks had been given leave to miss training with the England team - as they prepare for their crucial World Cup qualifying match against Austria on the weekend.
