'Just by looking at her, you can see all her muscles have been eaten away. I tell people that they should take inspiration from celebrities like Catherine Zeta- Jones or Coleen McLoughlin. They both look beautiful without having stick-insect catwalk bodies.'
Following an outcry about her weight after her first son Brooklyn was born, Victoria admitted that she was too thin, but insisted she eats 'like a pig'.
Three years ago her husband was moved to speak of his concerns that she was losing too much weight after Brooklyn's birth.
David Beckham told a U.S. chat show how he saw a picture showing her looking dangerously thin in a short leather dress - and realised her weight was a problem.
The photograph was taken at The Ivy restaurant in London, at a birthday-party for Elton John's partner David Furnish in December 1999 - eight months after she had given birth.
Beckham said: 'The next day I saw the picture in the paper and said: "Have you seen this?" The headline was "Skeletal Spice".'
He said he was particularly worried about her shrinking frame in the months after she became a mother because she was actually eating properly.
During the same interview, with broadcaster Barbara Walters on the American talk show 20/20, Mrs Beckham herself also referred to her obsession with her weight while she was in the Spice Girls.
'It was awful, she said. 'I was very obsessed. I could have told you the calorie and fat content in anything.'
Last night, a spokesman for Mrs Beckham refused to comment.
