Sophie Ellis-Bextor speaks out on Victoria Beckham after ‘feud’ left her ‘unnerved’
Popular singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has addressed what happened in the aftermath of her battle with Victoria Beckham to top the UK charts nearly 25 years ago
Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has addressed a ‘feud’ with Victoria Beckham that dates back nearly 25 years.
Tensions between the two reportedly flared as they went head-to-head for the top spot in the UK charts in 2000, and Murder on the Dancefloor hitmaker Sophie has now admitted that she felt ‘unnerved’ by one apsect of the showbiz saga.
Sophie has set records straight as she talked to AnOther Magazine about the headline hitting feud with Victoria: “As I’m sure you would probably imagine there wasn’t anything real going on behind the scenes. And we did a show together around the time that Groovejet came out, actually. I went and knocked on her door and we had a little chat.”
She sought to pour cold water on the historic rumours about supposed tensions with the Spice Girls star “She is someone that is very savvy as to how the press work and I was the one that was more unnerved by the scale of it.”
Earlier this year Sophie also looked back to the chart battle that gripped music fans around the country, as she told Gabby Logan’s Mid Point podcast: “Some of it was about genre; this was at a time when house music was just crossing over to being commercial. Her track was a garage track and Groove Jet was a house track; that’s like Ibiza, Ayia Napa.”
