Victoria reveals the truth about her and David's poverty-stricken pastQuote of the week comes from Victoria Beckham, who takes to the pages of OK! magazine with her version of those stories couples like to tell about how they didn't have two pennies to rub together when they first met, but how they were rich in love and so on.
"I'd get a night off in Paris," she reminisces of her early courtship with David, "and he'd fly on the cheapest little private plane – propeller, two seater, awful thing."
You may shudder at the grimness of it all – and yet as I'm sure Victoria would testify, it has made them what they are. When you've lived through that kind of hand-to-mouth private aviation experience, and still managed to carve out some measure of happiness with each other, you know that you can survive absolutely anything life cares to throw at you. Beckhams: you remain an inspiration.
