Victoria BeckhamVictoria Beckham was born Victoria Caroline Adams on April 17, 1974 and is an English celebrity (sort of) and designer (maybe not), formerly a popular music singer (bad singer), who first came to prominence as a member of girl band the Spice Girls, as "Posh Spice", a nickname given to her by the BBC's Top of the Pops magazine. Victoria Beckham is married to footballer David Beckham.


Victoria Beckham was born and brought up in affluent Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire to Tony Adams, an electronics engineer, and Jackie Cannon, the oldest of 3 children.
