After David Beckham’s surprise recall to the England national football squad, Victoria Beckham has put her reality TV show on hold to fly back to Europe to watch David’s return against Brazil tonight and for other key games over the next week.

Victoria was in Los Angeles last week filming the show but much to the producers’ chagrin, flew back to the UK earlier this week, possibly jeopardising the whole series.

An LA source told the Mirror: “She told producers she was not going to miss David’s England game and they seemed unwilling to compromise. It’s also his last Madrid match next week and she’d told them months ago that she was going to be by his side - but they seemed to expect filming to take precedence.”

“Victoria was told she had to fly out to Los Angeles this week for a fortnight to film six half-hour episodes back-to-back. She told producers there was no way. It really put the cat among the pigeons.”

“Victoria is always happy to fulfil her obligations and she’ll fly out at the end of June to do another week’s filming. But that will only give the network about half an hour’s footage on top of the half hour they shot last month.”

“It’s a real sacrifice for her as the TV series was a great launch-pad for her career over there. But she felt she was being pushed into a corner and David was obviously always going to take priority.”

“Vic is fiercely loyal to David - the whole move to Los Angeles was for him and his career in the first place. She was in tears when she heard he’d been recalled to the England squad as she knew that was his ultimate dream.”

“She had a real laugh during the initial filming of the series last month. But there is absolutely no way she’d have sacrificed being there to spur him on as he played against Brazil tonight just to do a TV show - regardless of how much it would help her profile in the US.”

Producers are reportedly considering a one-off hour long show instead of the multi-part series and Victoria’s spokesperson has confirmed that the plans are currently up in the air: “Victoria has had great fun filming the show. However the schedule was incredibly tight and it is up to the network what happens next.”
