Nervous Posh bans David Beckham from Spice Girls first comeback show

David Beckham won't be in audience for the Spice Girl's first show on Sunday - as he has revealed a nervous Victoria has slapped a ban on him attending.

Despite being keen for her children to "see that Mummy was a pop star", David has said he will not be at the first show, in Vancouver, Canada, because she's just too nervous about the concert.
