60 Minutes on Channel 9 and 9Now S47E9- with reports from Dimity Clancey, Adam Hegarty and Tara Brown will air Sunday 30 March at 8.45pm on 9 and 9Now.
MISMATCH OF THE DAY
According to Rebecca Loos, soccer superstar David Beckham was not only a player on the field, off it he was one as well. Back in 2004, when she was his 26-year-old personal assistant, she publicly admitted they had a torrid affair. At the time, and unusually for such an attacking footballer, Beckham was defensive.
He pleaded it was ludicrous to suggest he was unfaithful to his Spice Girl wife, Victoria. The denial infuriated Loos because she felt it implied she had lied. Eventually her anger gave way to resignation, but two years ago a rather vainglorious David Beckham obliquely referenced the liaison in a Netflix documentary.
As Rebecca tells Dimity Clancey, his comments were an own goal that has given her a free kick to strike back.

TRAGEDY IN TAMWORTH
The pain is unbearable and the frustration immense. Baylen Pendergast’s father, Luke, can’t fathom how 11 years on from his toddler son’s mysterious death, no one has been held responsible. There have been no arrests and no charges laid.
That’s despite overwhelming medical evidence suggesting the 21-month-old boy suffered horrific, non-accidental injuries. It’s a tragedy that has stunned the country New South Wales community of Tamworth where Baylen lived.
On 60 MINUTES, Adam Hegarty investigates why, after more than a decade, there are still no answers for his dad.

OOPS
It’s easy to understand why actress Madeleine West is so committed to protecting children, and not just because she’s a mother of six. As 60 MINUTES reported last year, when she was a young girl Madeleine was the victim of a serial paedophile.
For 40 years she kept the abuse secret, but then, in the performance of her life, she helped police collect the evidence they needed to charge the perpetrator. Peter Vincent White was subsequently imprisoned for 15 years for crimes against seven children.
Now there is a new chapter for Madeleine West. She has a remarkable and wonderful surprise she wants to share – one that started with oops.
