Victoria Adams may well be ‘posh’ so far as the tabloids are concerned (big house in Cheshunt, swimming-pool, Dad did the school run in his Roller, siblings are equally smartly named Louise and Christian), but her speech rhythms are not what you'd call Sloaney. ‘My mum said, “I've given you a nice name and I don’t want it shortened”, and I think you take over your parents’ values, don’t you? The two stories that all the tabloids would kill for are ‘Spice Girls Break Up’ and ‘Posh Spice Marries ManU Star’, so I did my best, but she spent the entire interview fending off, with practised ease, the slightest hint of either one.
