Rio Ferdinand says he's never seen Victoria Beckham eat anything in awkward grilling on WAG

Rio Ferdinand has been spilling the beans on his friendship with David and Victoria Beckham.

The BT Sports pundit, 44, says he's never seen Posh Spice, 48, eat anything over the years, despite often dining with the former pop star and her husband during football training sessions.

Rio - who played for England and Manchester United alongside David - was speaking to Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O on Thursday, when host Jackie 'O' Henderson admitted she was 'obsessed' with fashion icon Victoria's diet.

Jackie went on to probe dad-of-four Rio, who opened up about his friendship with the mum-of-four and discuss her eating habits.

He confessed: "I've never seen her eat anything. I don't remember anything that sticks out of my memory, to be honest."

Rio was quick to clarify Posh was 'nice' during their meetings, as Jackie continued to grill the former footballer about the Spice Girl.

Jackie's co-host chimed in, joking: "You can't be asking a player about another soccer player's wife."

Last year, Victoria was forced to clarify a few claims about her diet, thanks to husband David revealing she has eaten the same meal every day for 25 years.

"I get quite emotional about food and wine. When I'm eating something great I want everyone to try it," the former England captain explained on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast in January 2021.

"Unfortunately, I'm married to someone who has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years. Since I've met Victoria, she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables. She'll very rarely deviate away from there."

"I mean, talk about making me sound boring!" Victoria told Vogue in July, with the publication noting she rolled her eyes when discussing her husband's claim during their interview.

"No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who’s more disciplined with the way that they eat. I eat lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing.

"I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to. I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking."

Victoria went on to reveal that she takes Augustinus Bader skin supplements, pops Skinaide collagen peptide powder in her coffee and drinks apple cider vinegar each morning as part of her daily routine.

The former singer is also a fan of a new Gold’s Gym Diamond One device, an intense training session - telling Vogue: "I look at it and feel physically sick."
