Victoria Beckham humiliated over new Beckham expose

While some of us may be enjoying Towards Zero, the racy new Agatha Christie adaptation, one person who’s unlikely to be tuning in is Victoria Beckham. A source tells heat she was left devastated when it emerged last week that she and husband David had inspired the show’s makers.
Towards Zero features a famous sportsman who becomes embroiled in a love triangle and finds his marriage under the microscope. If you think that sounds a little familiar, you’re not entirely wrong. The makers of the BBC One series have publicly confessed that they drew parallels between the fictional TV couple and the Beckhams. ‘We were in development at the time the David Beckham documentary came out, and we did a lot of talking about that,’ said series producer Rebecca Durbin, citing ‘the excitement, the celebrity, the craziness’ that surrounds the couple.

Although the Beckhams remain happily married, their relationship was famously rocked back in 2004, when David’s PA Rebecca Loos alleged that she had an affair with the footballer while he played for Real Madrid. The claims put the couple’s marriage under the microscope. At the time they kept tight-lipped, but speaking about it for the first time in David’s Netflix docuseries last year, VB said, ‘It was the hardest period for us. It felt like the world was against us.’
Now, sources say the recent comments have dragged up the unhappy memories again. ‘Vic was beside herself when she read the producer’s comments,’ an insider tells heat. ‘She was in a happy place, but she’s been thrust back into a situation she feels like she can’t escape from. She can’t understand why their names have been dragged into what is essentially a piece of fiction. Every time she thinks they’ve moved on from these affair stories, something comes out of nowhere and rakes it all back up again.’
