Why have I never realised how brilliant she is?

Toad I think she has a lot of enjoyment from her kids, she is a very hands on mum and she’s always posting about them on IG. They seem like a really close family, her DH is an arse though.

DB (brother!) worked with her recently and said she is lovely and funny but terribly anxious, David is an arsehole and they live separate lives.

Cottongusset · 05/09/2018 13:57

Her husband is a twat - nothing more to say - just that he is a twat.

Zampa · 05/09/2018 13:58

God, I love her. I want to be her BFF. I bought the OK magazine specials of her wedding 20 years ago and wish I'd kept them!

DB is featured in the photos on Instagram of the Vogue shoot.

noticed her new Sloaney accent?

Thought she always spoke well?

She's originally from Tottenham but they moved to Cuffley. Any Tottenham references have been removed from the web though I beleive.

I remember how funny she was in Spice World, a very unfunny film. From what I’ve heard/read, she’s a very dry humoured person, despite her uptight, po-faced public image. I wish she showed that side more often!

PolkerrisBeach · 05/09/2018 14:00

That's very funny.

Well done Vic. Loved the "subtle hint of golden bronzer".

ThanksHunkyJesus · 05/09/2018 14:03

I've never really warmed to her, who knew she was actually funny!

Ivaidea · 05/09/2018 14:04

I thought it was lame.

This is quite funny but I don't think that was the intention

Spazzzl · 05/09/2018 14:16

God that was awful. Painful even. Can't believe others enjoyed it.

Undercoverbanana · 05/09/2018 14:19

Victoria - if you are secretly on MN somewhere, thank you for this. I’ve always admired you and totally understood your reluctance to engage with the press or give fake smiles. Why should you respond to speculation about your marriage or tell reporters what you had for breakfast? Haters will always hate but no-one can take away the true-you inside. It is so lovely to see this side of you. Keep your inner smile, girl, and ignore the hate.

glitterfarts · 05/09/2018 14:21

Very funny. Why would you wonder what enjoyment she has?

She has 4 beautiful kids, gets to go on plenty of holidays. Whatever she wants to wear, she can design. Money not a worry.
She just isn't splattered all over the tabloids like some z-listers so people think she is miserable.

I once read she doesn't smile as she was told she looked odd when doing so, perhaps she is just like the rest of us and insecure about that part of her body.

EglantineP · 05/09/2018 14:21

Funny?

Whatever

CaveMum · 05/09/2018 14:22

My boss’ sister was on the same flight from New York to London with VB, both travelling First Class. Apparently VB got on the flight glammed to the hilt - heels, dress, full face of make up, the works. As soon as they were up in the air she went straight to the loo, changed into a tracksuit, scrubbed off her make up and spent most of the flight being lovely and chatty with the stewardesses.

About an hour before landing she went back to the loo, reapplied all her make up, put on a different dress and disembarked the airplane in full “glam” mode.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 05/09/2018 14:25

Did I miss the humour? I didn’t find it funny sorry.

Badtasteflump · 05/09/2018 14:25

Why bother to take all your make up off to have to put it all on again? Confused

Can't she be lovely and chatty with her face on?

WhatInTheWorldIsGoingOn · 05/09/2018 14:26

I’ve always really liked her. I think there was a Beckhams program years and years ago and I thought she was funny and very down to earth then. Liked her ever since.

Ginorchoc · 05/09/2018 14:28

Interviews with her in the past always show she has a funny dry sense of humour. She does lots for charity never understood the dislike.

MistressDeeCee · 05/09/2018 14:29

I've always thought she's ok. I don't care that she doesn't subscribe to "give us a smile luv." & we don't all.have a smiley face, nor do we have to.

A lasting showbiz marriage particularly where the woman seems fine appears to really annoy some people. Im not invested in whether her H has had affairs or not, rumours will always abound I won't know if they're true; they're still together and seem ok, so they must know what suits them best. Its their life.

This is a great photo shoot. Publicity stunt but that's to be expected, so what..& what else would it be? Good for her

w4yty · 05/09/2018 14:29

Why bother to take all your make up off to have to put it all on again?

New York to London tends is a (very often overnight) transatlantic flight, who would want to stay in a face full of male up for 6/7 hours when they v possibly could end up snoozing?

rainbowsandsmiles · 05/09/2018 14:31

I thought it was funny when I'd just seen clips from it, but the whole thing is even better, she's obviously got a great sense of humour and doesn't take herself seriously.
It's the same type as mine so I totally "get" it Grin
It's good to be able to take the piss out of yourself.

PodgeHog · 05/09/2018 14:33

She probably toook her make up off to give her skin a break during the flight. I always wash any make up / spf off and then apply lots of moisturiser for a long flight to try to stop the dehydration. My skin is not naturally great and I think she has said hers is not great either so I don’t blame her not keeping her make up on to chat to the stewardesses...

Badtasteflump · 05/09/2018 14:35

Ok fair enough - I'm clearly just a lazy mare as I'm more than happy to have a doze with my face sliding down my... face Grin

raspberrycordial · 05/09/2018 14:35

Have always liked her, good for her.
