Normal-size Posh: Ultra-thin Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, seen here with friend Victoria Beckham at the Spice Girls reunion show in Manchester last night

The pair, who have become firm friends since the Beckhams' move to Los Angeles, hugged as they met up backstage at the Spice Girls reunion show at Manchester's MEN Arena.

"Eva is a huge Spice Girls fan," a source told Mail Online, adding that the Desperate Housewives star had been longing to see her favourite group perform live.

"She said it was the highlight of her trip to the UK," added the source.

Meanwhile 5ft 4 Victoria who towered over pintsized Eva, 5ft 1, as she posed in her gold corset outfit told The Manchester Evening News: "I have such fond memories of living in Manchester.

"So I'm really excited to be here, and I've got all three kids with me and David.

"And some of his friends from the team are here to spice up their lives."

But for any fans hoping the girls money-spinning reunion might spark a return to the music world for the most famous of the five girls, Victoria made it admantly clear that she was finished with music.

Victoria said: "For me personally, I would not want to be in the music industry any more. It's not a very nice industry to be in. What we are doing is fun - on tour, having a laugh with each other with our families around us."

Yesterday, it was revealed the Spice Girls have each pocketed £10 million from their 17-night run of sell-out gigs at the London's O2 Arena.

The reunited pop group played their final London gig in the former Millennium Dome in Greenwich last night before heading to Manchester last night.

The unprecedented success of the concerts has left Victoria, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell dividing a £50 million payday.

Eva looks so feminine in comparison to Vicky's androgynous look.

Yes some of us ARE naturally very very slim and although you may find this sickening and unfair, it does happen!

I am naturally a size 8 and proud that I can eat whatever I want and not gain an ounce. Eva and Posh are both naturally slim so get over it an leave them alone!

It's more to do with dimensions. Victoria is much taller and Eva is very tiny. They are both equally thin, and they both look quite healthy.
