Revealed - Posh's Secret SurgeryHer addiction to vertiginous stilettos is legendary but super-chic Victoria Beckham may soon find herself wearing something a little less flattering on her feet – hospital bandages.
The singer-turned-designer has told friends that her bunions are now so bad she is seriously considering having an operation to remove them.
The scale of Victoria's painful bunion problem was laid bare recently when she was snapped in a pair of spiked Mulberry sandals. Now a friend of the former Spice Girl tells me: 'Victoria has had enough of having bad feet and has made some early-stage enquiries about having her rather unpleasant bunions removed.
'They are causing her a considerable amount of pain, so much so that she thinks the only thing to do is to have surgery. She knows the operation is unpleasant and she will be out of action for a while, but she thinks it may be worth it.
'It is something she will probably have done in the States when the family is fully settled in LA.'
When I bumped into 33-year-old Victoria recently, she candidly confessed her feet were giving her a headache. 'I always wear stilettos but they have given me awful feet,' she said.
'I hate my feet, they are the most disgusting thing about me. Part of the reason I wear such amazing shoes is to take the eye away from my horrid feet and on to the stunning shoes.'
Bunions – a deformity of the big toe joint which grows at an angle to the foot – are the bane of style-conscious women the world over. They can become painful and problematic if they are not treated.
A spokesman for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists gave an idea of what Posh is in for.
He said: 'The operation takes about an hour and is usually performed under a local anaesthetic. It is important to rest for three days afterwards and stitches are usually removed after two weeks.'
Never had a bunion, fortunately. My mother, first bought us, my brother and I, good shoes, she then continued that tradition to her granchildren, as did my mother-in-law. When we had our first grandchildren, and we still do it, we continued the tradition - surprise, surprise, no bunions.
It is one of the very few times I go shopping. I seem to be left to pick up the bill, whilst my beloved and the grandchildren, skip out of the shop.
So Posh spends her dosh on expensive, impractical shoes (we do NOT buy sensible shoes, just practical ones, expensive to boot).
May I be so bold as to suggest that she spend her money on a good meal.
