kate beckinsaleKate Beckinsale has said she thinks people should give Victoria Beckham more credit as both as person and a fashion designer.

The Underworld star told Elle magazine recently that it annoys her when people suggest Victoria is cold and only concerned with fame: “Victoria is lovely and very down-to-earth.

“She loves taking the p*** out of herself, which is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. We laugh a lot together.”

It also annoys her when people dismiss her fashion lines as just another bad celebrity tie-in: “Victoria’s line of dresses is fantastic and I’m really proud of her.

“I’d definitely wear one of them, provided I could fit my bum into it!”
