'Lonely' Posh giggles at reunion with David - after a fortnight apart

Posh returned from her jaunt to Paris and London, almost a fortnight after leaving LA with son Cruz.

The couple clearly had a lot to catch up on, and Victoria - who is well- known for her sullen pout - showed off her rarely-seen brilliant smile as she clearly enjoyed her husband's company.

The Beckhams were last seen together when they returned to LA together after making a mercy dash to visit David's father Ted Beckham in London after he had suffered an heart attack.

The couple looked happy and relaxed, and Posh appeared to collapse in an uncharacteristic fit of giggles as she and David chatted in their car outside the restaurant.

Which will go some way to putting paid speculation concerning the strength of the couple's marriage.

The long absences are reported to be taking their toll on Posh, and she has admitted feeling lonely when she and David are apart.

A source told Heat magazine: "She says that although she spends hours on the phone, when the call eventually ends, she feels worse than before. She needs his physical presence."

And on top of that, the hectic schedule is clearly taking its toll on the Spice Girl, as she was revealed to be suffering from a severe case of spotty skin.

Although she has always suffered from breakouts, pals close to Posh are blaming the stress of her jet-set lifestyle, for the recent outbreak.

A source told Heat: "The trouble is her skin reacts to stress, which is why she's getting an outbreak now.

"We are always telling her she spreads herself way too thin and it makes it worse that she is such a worrier as well.

"Recently it has all piled up on her and what with being away so often and David's dad being ill, it's overwhelmed her."

Posh's promotional duties have been ramped up in advance of the Spice Girls world tour, which kicks off in Vancouver, 2 December.
