Victoria Beckham has revealed that she has to eat healthy food because she had bad skin.

The fashion designer and former Spice Girls singer has often faced criticism for her skinny figure, and even accused of having an eating disorder.

She has vehemently denied claims she is sick, insisting she has to watch what she eats to ensure her skin stays clear.

“I watch what I eat and I have a very healthy diet. I have to for my skin. I had bad skin,” Stuff.co.nz quoted her as telling the British edition of OK! magazine.

She is outraged when people imply she has an unhealthy relationship with food because she insists she would never do anything to upset her family.

“It’’s unfair somebody can say, ”You have anorexia, you have an eating disorder”. There’’s a big difference between that and someone who controls what they eat.

“I”m healthy and that’’s the main thing. My priority is David and the kids and I wouldn”t do anything to put them at risk,” she added.
