Victoria Beckham has revealed she couldn’t have done her Emporio Armani underwear photoshoot without husband David Beckham by her side.

While David has being posing semi-naked for adverts for a few years, it is all relatively new for Victoria - and she admits she found it nerve-wracking.

She told Hello magazine recently: “When David and I got to the first shoot we were both standing in our bathrobes, looking at each other and saying, ‘Okay, who’s going to drop their dressing gown first?’

“It can be a little intimidating standing half-naked in a studio full of strangers, so it’s good to have the support of each other, reassuring and encouraging one another.

“David is always incredibly supportive of everything I do.”

She added that it was the modelling gig that finally got her to start exercising at the gym: “I never used to go to the gym before working with Armani - but if you’re going to be photographed in your bra and knickers you want to look as good as you can.

“I really like having something to work towards, so I actually enjoyed the whole process.

“David was working out a lot as well, so we motivated each other. It was fun.

“I have worked hard, and if you are going to agree to be photographed in underwear you have to put the hours in, so when you turn up on the day and take off your robe you feel confident that you can do the job.

“As a 35-year-old mother of three, I think I’m looking okay.”
