    Victoria Beckham opens up about family life at the Beckham household, and it isn't how you might picture it. Get all the details...

    Victoria Beckham has revealed more about her home like with David and the kids, insisting life isn’t all what you’d expect it to be.

    She may be a Spice Girl turned global fashion designer, but VB is just like any other mum when it comes to everyday family life.

    The mum-of-four may be blessed with a healthy bank balance and the A-list lifestyle, but VB says she’s responsible for the weekly food shop in the Beckham household.

    ‘It’s always me who goes to Waitrose to do the weekly shop, Harper balancing on one hip, Brooklyn hanging on the trolley,’ Victoria told The Mirror.

    ‘I go down the aisles telling the kids, ‘No, you can’t have that’, just like any other mother,' she added. ‘People look at me in awe like I’m from the circus, but it doesn’t bother me.’

    While VB may take her four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, along for the ride, dad David opts to stay at home (watching the football, we can only assume).

    Speaking ahead of her move to LA, Victoria said she would miss M&S, saying it would always be top of her to-do list when she returned to the UK.
