Victoria Beckham has reportedly been urged to gain weight ahead of the Spice Girls reunion tour next month.

A source close to the band has revealed that the tour organisers are worried that Victoria won’t have enough stamina to perform for the required hours at a time on the 45-show tour and have told the WAG to gain weight and strength through a diet rich in spinach and brown rice.

The source told the Mirror: “Vic is under orders to have at least five small meals a day, to get her body prepared for the tour. She isn’t too happy about the plan but understands that it’s necessary if she’s to stay healthy and not burn out over the coming months.”

“It’s a pretty intense - not to mention bland - regime but it’s essential she sticks to it.”

Victoria has previously admitted to suffering from an eating disorder during her time in the girl group but now insists she is just careful with her intake.

The source added: “This time around, Victoria understands that the key is about getting stronger and if this means putting on an extra pound or two, so be it.”
