kate beckinsale reveals what posh is really like

Posted: 6th November, 2008

Kate Beckinsale has dished the dirt on pal Victoria Beckham and says the former Spice Girl knows how to take the p**s.

Posh may not crack a smile in public but Kate insists that behind closed doors the pair have a real laugh.

‘Victoria is lovely and very down-to-earth,’ said the actress to ELLE magazine.

‘She loves taking the p*** out of herself, which is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. We laugh a lot together’.

‘Victoria’s line of dresses is fantastic and I’m really proud of her. I’d definitely wear one of them, provided I could fit my bum into it!’

Kate also speaks openly about her LA diet in the new interview and admits she is now finally happy with her body shape

‘I am a lot more body confident now I’m in my thirties and am in better shape, too.

‘I didn’t have a clue about healthy eating when I was in my twenties – I’d eat a small breakfast and lunch and then have a baked potato for dinner and feel really horrible.

‘Now my typical daily diet is eggs or oatmeal for breakfast, a chicken or vegetable wrap for lunch, then fish and vegetables for dinner. But if someone turns up with cupcakes mid-afternoon, I’ll have one. I’m not aiming to be Gisele.

‘And I’d hate to be one of those people who won’t allow themselves a slice of birthday cake.’
