Baby, Scary, Ginger, Sporty and Bookish probably wouldn't have had quite the same ring to it. Despite penning a 528-page autobiography charting her rise to the top, Victoria Beckham has admitted that she has never read a book in her life.

victoria beckham never read a bookThe revelation emerged in an interview with the Spanish magazine Chic. Although the issue in question has yet to the hit the shelves, details were leaked to the Spanish press over the weekend.

"I haven't read a book in my life," Beckham confesses. "I don't have the time." However, the 31-year-old former Spice Girl does shrug off suggestions that she is a philistine. "I prefer listening to music, although I do love fashion magazines."
She also admits that having given birth to three boys - Brooklyn, six, Romeo, two, and six-month-old Cruz - she would like a daughter and could imagine "painting her nails, putting on make-up and choosing clothes" with her. Beckham also said she was not jealous about the attention paid by other women to her husband.

"I know what other women think and I say to myself 'He is very good looking, he dresses very well, he is great with children and he has an enormous heart'. I am not jealous and when people look at him, I think it's because he's great."

Her library-dodging confessions may come as a surprise to fans impressed with the literary style of her autobiography, Learning to Fly.

In the book, she recorded how seeing the film Fame encouraged her to seek stardom. According to the blurb, "A line from the theme song stayed with her - 'I'm gonna live for ever, I'm gonna learn how to fly'. With this amazing book she gives us the chance to fly alongside her on her journey from lonely teenager to international star..."
