Posh: I'm no fame Junkie

Victoria Beckham has denied being fame-hungry and said the only grand entrance she makes is through a restaurant kitchen.

Defending herself against accusations that she and her soccer star husband David constantly crave public and media attention, Posh Spice said the family live very quiet lives in Los Angeles.

'We don't court fame': Posh says she and David like a quiet night in

"We lead our lives in a much more low-profile way than people think. I'm not going to The Ivy in Beverly Hills. I don't think I've been to a premiere since we moved there.

"We're not courting fame. I can give you a list of numerous restaurants that have underground parking so no one can get any photographs.

"Underground car parks and kitchens - that's my grand entrance. But in LA, at least we can be freer. I think the obsession with celebrity is worse in the UK than in America." Speaking on the eve of the British launch of her debut fashion collection, the former Spice Girl said her idea of a thrilling night in is watching a DVD with David.

Victoria, 34, added that she likes to unwind in the bath and go to bed early with a notepad "because I'm always thinking of things in the middle of the night".

And she insisted she's never been one to seek validation from other people. She said: "I don't really care what people think. I never made friends easily. For years, when I was in the Spice Girls, those were my four best friends. Now I've got David.

"Nothing has ever come particularly naturally to me. It's made me a hard worker and very disciplined." The Spice Girls may have been her biggest success but she said she always wanted to be a fashion designer.

"I was never that good a singer but I think I am good at fashion. Being in the Spice Girls probably didn't open any doors. I've had to bang them down."

Victoria's dress collection goes on sale tomorrow at Selfridges in London and Manchester in sizes 8-14 costing from £650 to £1,900.
