Beckham: 'David helped me strip for ads'

Victoria Beckham has said that she and her husband David supported each other when they stripped off for a recent underwear advert.

The former Spice Girl posed alongside her footballer husband in print advertisements for Italian fashion brand Emporio Armani.

Victoria told Hello: "When David and I got to the first shoot we were both standing in our bathrobes, looking at each other and saying, 'Okay, who's going to drop their dressing gown first?'

"It can be a little intimidating standing half-naked in a studio full of strangers, so it's good to have the support of each other, reassuring and encouraging one another."

She added: "I never used to go to the gym before working with Armani - but if you're going to be photographed in your bra and knickers you want to look as good as you can.

"David was working out a lot as well, so we motivated each other. It was fun."
