Victoria Beckham slammed broadcaster Chris Evans after 'making her weigh herself' live on TV in the 1990s. The former Spice Girl had just given birth to first son Brooklyn, who she shares with husband David Beckham, when she appeared on the cult classic show.
Victoria, 48, appeared on Evans' TFI Friday in 1999.
The programme was known for its irreverent approach in which tons of celebs rocked up to be interviewed by the flame-haired presenter, 56. However she has now questioned Chris' approach, writes the Mirror.
The Virgin presenter asked the fashion designer if her weight was "back to normal" after fans had complimented her on her figure. After revealing it was, Chris replied: "Can I check, do you mind?' before getting the star to step on to some scales, quipping: "Eight stone's not bad at all, is it?"

Victoria said: "I went on a TV show with Chris Evans many years ago and I'd just had Brooklyn and lost a lot of weight after. It happened to my mum after her pregnancies. It doesn't mean you have an eating disorder. And he made me stand on the scales to be weighed. Can you imagine doing that nowadays?" reports Vogue Australia.
Recalling her experience, Victoria said: "I went on a TV show with Chris Evans many years ago and I'd just had Brooklyn and lost a lot of weight after. It happened to my mum after her pregnancies. It doesn't mean you have an eating disorder. And he made me stand on the scales to be weighed. Can you imagine doing that nowadays?," reports Vogue Australia.
The artist formerly known as Posh Spice was often scrutinised over her weight. Many thought the star was too slim, but Victoria says she was also branded 'too fat'.
"I've had 'Porky Posh', I've had 'Skeletal Posh'. After I had Brooklyn, there was a picture pointing to every single part of my body where I had to focus on losing the weight from," she explained. During his Virgin radio show, Christ told his listeners he was planning to bring back TFI later this year - but there's a twist.
Instead of broadcasting on traditional TV, he revealed they're more likely to stream online showing old never-seen-before footage alongside new content.
Speaking to The Sun confirming the show's revival, he said: "Of course, TFI Friday is coming back in September. The thing is, you don't need a TV channel now. You just don't need one. TFI Friday doesn't have to be an hour long, it could be longer, we could livestream it."
