There is no better-known celebrity couple than Victoria Adams and David Beckham. Young, good-looking, famous and rich - the romance between the most glamorous of the Spice Girls and the lauded Manchester United midfielder has captured the imagination of a hungry press and public alike. A god in Thailand is named after David, there are hundreds of websites dedicated to Victoria, and even a university course devoted to the couple. This year's press cuttings about the couple alone would cover four soccer pitches.
Then, of course, there was the arrival of Brooklyn, the billion-dollar baby, whose adoring parents promised to bring him up as they themselves had been raised, in a stable family home without the aid of nannies. The couple has also experienced their fair share of the darker side of celebrity - indeed, there have been many times when the golden couple seem to have lost a little of their lustre.
This revealing biography unfolds the truth behind the headlines. It examines Victoria's relationship with the other Spice Girls and the story of the pop group's break-up: the rows, the feuds and what Victoria really thinks of Geri Halliwell. It also details David's relationship with Manchester United and its famous manager, chronicling the tensions and disputes between Sir Alex and Victoria, and examines whether there is room for both Victoria and football in David's life.
