Victoria Beckham writes emotional note to her insecure teenage self telling her ‘not to worry’

She is Posh Spice, the multi-millionaire wife of David Beckham , mum of four beautiful children and owner of palatial properties around the world.

She has won over sceptics who so wanted to slate her when she set up a high-end fashion label, which is now widely acclaimed.

But in 1992, the 18-year-old aspiring singer Victoria Adams was crippled by insecurities, believing she was a fat, spotty, ugly teenager whose dreams of fame were castles in the air.

Penning an emotional letter to her teenage self in Vogue magazine, Victoria Beckham, now 42, sets out to reassure her that life will all turn out well, in spite of her anxieties.

She begins: “I know you are struggling right now. You are not the prettiest, or the thinnest, or the best at dancing at the Laine Theatre Arts college.

“You have never properly fitted in, although you are sharing your Surrey school digs with really nice girls.

“You have bad acne. You think the Principal has put you at the back of the end-of-year show (in a humiliatingly bright purple Lycra leotard) because you are too plump to go at the front. (This may or may not be true.)”
