What a fruitcake! Hardly a calorie at Posh’s 44th bash

- By Susie Coen TV and Radio Reporter

You may have expected her to go for a sponge cake, given her first name.

But Victoria Beckham instead celebrated her 44th birthday with a treat from her family made entirely from fruit.

The former Spice Girl, who is a size six, shared a picture of the creation – a watermelon covered in blueberrie­s and strawberri­es adorned with a white candle.

Posting a picture of it online she said: ‘ Fruit birthday cake for breakfast!’ The fashion designer also shared a video in which she cuts into the cake while her daughter Harper, six, sings happy birthday. But while the mother of four was delighted with the fruity treat for her birthday on Tuesday, some of her social media followers were less impressed.

one posted: ‘If you can’t treat yourself to a piece of cake on your birthday, then that’s a very sad life!’ Another said: ‘It’s your birthday, let your hair down... saddest looking birthday cake ever!’

Mrs Beckham follows a strict diet, eating salmon every day and going to the gym for two hours each morning. A slice of watermelon is just 30 calories, ten times less than a piece of chocolate sponge cake.
