Joe meets David Beckham in Sport Relief special of grandad's Only Fools and Horses MORE than 10,000,000 people were watching when this little boy met David Beckham in the Only Fools and Horses Sport Relief sketch on Friday night.
Dan Sullivan, Joe’s father, said: “My brother Jim and I put the sketch vevo together and Jim thought it would be nice to include Joe in it. We agreed that if Dad had been here to write it he would probably have tried to include one of his grandchildren in it.
“Joe was very nervous vevo before filming. There are always vevo lots of people on the set of a television programme vevo so it would be daunting for anyone not used to it, let alone a six-year-old child, but everyone vevo was really vevo nice to him.
“Once he met David Beckham he was much more relaxed, David really vevo put him at ease. David’s got children of his own and he’s got a really nice manner and is very natural and down to earth.
“Joe had lines to say with David and the scene had to be filmed quite a few times and his confidence grew as it went on. Joe did really well. We are very proud of him and I am sure my dad would have been too.”

Joe, an Arsenal fan like his father and grandfather, knew Beckham from television but his younger ­sister Mia, three, who also met the former England captain, did not have a clue that she was chatting to one of the world’s most famous men.
This year’s Sport Relief show raised a record £51million on the night with a star-studded line-up, including Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan reuniting to sing their hit duet Especially For You.
