Victoria Beckham <\/a>has spoken about moving to Manchester for her husband, and how she had “no idea” Geri Horner planned to quit the Spice Girls. in a candid new interview.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old designer shot to stardom in the chart-topping girl group in the mid-90s, and Victoria has now confessed to being caught off-guard by her bandmate’s exit in 1998.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Victoria explained: “She just left. I was on the phone to Geri this morning about something completely different and we even laughed about it.<\/p>\n

“She just left and we had no idea until she just didn’t turn up. We can laugh about it now but at the time we were like, ‘OK.'”<\/p>\n

Victoria ultimately decided to leave the group herself following the birth of her son Brooklyn in 1999.<\/p>\n

She shared: “I met David when I was 22, I was pregnant when I was 24. I went on tour when I was pregnant. I remember being in Miami in August, it is hot.<\/p>\n

“I was in a PVC catsuit, I was pregnant, it was an amphitheatre. I had a bucket on the side of the stage and I had to keep running off stage, I had terrible morning sickness. I was so sick with Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

“I remember saying to the tour manager, I can’t do it anymore and he said, you’ve gotta do it, there’s only a 103 more shows to go. After those shows finished, I had Brooklyn.”<\/p>\n

Despite this, Victoria admitted that she initially struggled to adjust to life as a mum, having spent years touring the world. The designer confessed that she found it “tough” during her early days of motherhood.<\/p>\n

Victoria – who married David Beckham in 1999 – said: “I moved to Manchester and David is playing for Manchester United. It was quite the transition for me. I was so happy to be with David, have a baby.<\/p>\n

“I felt so blessed but I felt a bit lost as well. To go from travelling the world, being on stage with your best friends to all of a sudden being in a flat with a baby, it was tough.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fashion designer has been opening up about her time in the band and her early years with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,16,15,113],"class_list":{"0":"post-522142","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-victoria-beckham"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115423430567932222","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
