Early Life as an Aspiring Dancer

Out of the 400 women who applied, Beckham was chosen to become part of a new all-female pop music group.

Victoria Beckham's early life 

Victoria Beckham, then Victoria Caroline Adams, was born on April 17 1974 to parents Tony and Jackie. She admits to wanting to be a star from the age of eight, after seeing the film Fame. The Adams family sent an eight-year-old Victoria to the Jason Theatre School in Enfield, London where she studied until she was 17.

A year later the budding performer moved on to Laine Arts Theatre College in Surrey, taking dancing lessons on the side. Three years later she answered an ad in the magazine The Stage looking for five girls who could sing and dance. It turned out to be her ticket to fame.

Victoria Beckham's music career

The female quintet Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Victoria went on to become The Spice Girls. The girls were all given nicknames; Victoria was known as the 'Posh' one because of her parents' relative wealth.

The band's first single, Wannabe, went straight to number one and, for a few years, the fab five couldn't put a foot wrong. Capturing the imagination of youngsters around the globe, they notched up hit after hit, breaking records in the process.

Everything changed in 1998, however, when the de facto leader of the group, Geri Halliwell, quit. The remaining Spices continued without her for a while, but marriage, motherhood and solo careers began to take precedence.
