Victoria Beckham<\/a> has revealed her husband David \u201cguilted\u201d her into joining the Spice Girls<\/a> reunion tour in 2008. <\/p>\n

The singer, 51, made the revelation in her self-titled three-part docuseries on Netflix, which dropped earlier this week<\/a>. <\/p>\n

She said of joining the pop band\u2019s 2008 reunion: “David was like, ‘it’s really good for the kids to see you do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

David, 50, jumped in, protesting: \u201cOur kids weren’t around to see their mum be a Spice Girl!\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria added jokingly: \u201c<\/a>He mum-guilted me!\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple, who married in 1999, share four children – son Brooklyn, 26, son Romeo, 23, son Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14.<\/p>\n

Victoria also spoke about how she felt being back onstage during the tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hadn’t been Posh Spice for such a long time. It was good to be back with them,” she recalled.<\/p>\n

The fashion designer declined to join the girl band when they reunited again in 2019, admitting she felt like she didn\u2019t \u201cbelong\u201d onstage anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good to celebrate the Spice Girls but it was during that [2008] tour that I realized I didn’t belong on stage. It had been fun but it wasn’t what I loved anymore,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Since then, bandmate Mel B<\/a> has been vocal about wanting to reunite again and has blasted Victoria for not taking part.<\/p>\n

Victoria told the cameras: \u201cOne of the girls actually said to me \u2013 and it did upset me \u2013 it was Melanie B who said to me, \u2018Don\u2019t forget where you come from.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on: “I have never forgotten where I’ve come from. I have never forgotten that Posh Spice is the reason that I’m sitting here now. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe might have been grumpy but she was actually great.”<\/p>\n

During the docuseries, viewers also found out that Victoria used up a lot of the clothing allowance<\/a> for the band.<\/p>\n

In one scene, Geri Halliwell complained: \u201cYou know what I end up getting? A \u00a320 thing from Oxfam. She nicks all my money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other girls weren\u2019t really into fashion. That left a really nice budget for me,\u201d Victoria explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to Gucci. I\u2019d never ever owned a designer garment before. And then, fashion became everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria was supported by former Spice Girl members Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Mel C, as well as by her family,<\/a> at the London premiere of her documentary<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The series chronicles her personal and career journey, charting her rise to fame and how she became a successful fashion designer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Victoria Beckham has revealed her husband David \u201cguilted\u201d her into joining the Spice Girls reunion tour in 2008.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[251,784,156,788,782,157,111,43,785,783,786,139,69,787,255],"class_list":["post-69747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-breaking-news","tag-daily-news","tag-entertainment","tag-global-news","tag-inkl","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-news-app","tag-news-headlines","tag-news-today","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-today-news","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
