Victoria Beckham has been giving Kerry McFadden support and advice over the phone, following her split from her husband Brian, according to The Mirror.

Posh's first call came as a complete surprise to Kerry, who last year advised David Beckham to ditch his wife.

A friend of Kerry's told the newspaper, "Victoria said she must be having a very hard time but to take things a day at a time.

"Kerry doesn't even know her. And it was the last thing she expected as she hasn't had the nicest things to say about Posh in the past. But she was really touched."

Last year, referring to David, Kerry said, "He's been married to Posh for too long and he wants to get a real bird."
