Victoria shuns Loos' story


Victoria Beckham shunned Rebecca Loos' sensational TV interview and instead drowned her sorrows in a Swiss bar.

Posh, who turned 30, couldn't face the bombshell Sky One revelations by the woman who claims she slept with her England skipper husband David, 28.

Instead she drank vodkas at an Alpine restaurant in Verbier -- cutting a forlorn figure as Real Madrid ace Becks dined with teammates in Spain.

Posh, who treated her family to a Swiss skiing holiday to celebrate her 30th birthday, led them into an Alpine diner minutes before Thursday's Sky One show was due to start.

And she told her party: "This is our holiday and I'm not going to let anything or anyone spoil it."

Posh looked ashen-faced as she in the restaurant at the trendy Verbier resort.

Meanwhile Rebecca, 26, was telling millions of viewers how Beckham made her feel "like a whore" during their alleged affair in Madrid.

Mum-of-two Posh has been putting on a brave face over Rebecca's claims -- dismissed as "ludicrous" by Becks -- but privately she is devastated.

A pal said: "Victoria has refused to believe Rebecca's allegations from day one.

"She loves David and believes he is telling the truth, but it's still hard to hear what Rebecca is saying on TV.

"But there's no chance of Victoria and David splitting up. He's planning to see her after his match for Real Madrid on Saturday night.

The pal added: "Victoria wishes it would all just go away. She's very strong, but there's only so much one person can take."

Soon afterwards, they swept into the restaurant, where Victoria was instantly recognised by English skiers.

Posh, who arrived in Verbier on Wednesday with sons Brooklyn, five, and Romeo, 19 months, looked agitated as she chatted with her family.

She was overheard making plans for her birthday celebrations but she did not allow the conversation to touch on diplomat's daughter Rebecca.

Meanwhile, Becks also missed Rebecca's TV interview, as he spent the night with Real mates at a hotel in La Manga, Spain.

The ex-Manchester United midfielder -- who bought his wife a one million pound diamond ring as a birthday gift -- was eating dinner when his former personal assistant spoke.
