Victoria Beckham

Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham is a feline fan and would love to add a cat to the family’s brood of pets – which already includes dogs Coco and Scarlet – but her soccer star husband David has put his foot down.

The handsome athlete isn’t keen on cats and doesn’t want one in their Los Angeles home.

“I want a cat but David won’t let me have one – he doesn’t want them bringing mice into the house. He’s a dog person,” Victoria says.

While she isn’t allowed a cat, Victoria couldn’t be happier following the arrival of much longed-for daughter Harper in July and says she’s so besotted, she can’t bear to be apart from the adorable tot.

“I can’t leave her alone for a minute, I haven’t been out without her since she was born nine weeks ago, she’s too wonderful to leave.”
