Victoria Beckham felt "too scared" to discuss her eating disorder with anyone - including her husband David

During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper asked: "You said [in the documentary], 'When you have an eating disorder, you become very good at lying.' Did you confide in anyone at this point in your life?"

Victoria then replied: "No. No one at all."

David, 50, always knew that Victoria was "very disciplined" with her eating habits. However, she didn't feel able to share her troubles at the time.

The singer-turned-designer - who has been married to David since 1999 - explained: "I was too scared to talk to anyone. I didn't feel that I could trust anyone at all."

Victoria now credits David with her healthy lifestyle.

She shared: "He was the one that encouraged me to start weight training."

Victoria previously confessed that she became "very good at lying" amid her battle with an eating disorder.

The designer revealed that she actually hid her health troubles from her family, as she tried to remain "relevant" after the Spice Girls split.

In her eponymous Netflix documentary, Victoria shared: "When you have an eating disorder you become very good at lying and I was never honest about it with my parents.

"I never talked about it publicly. It really affects you when you're being told constantly that you're not good enough and I suppose that's been with me my whole life."

Meanwhile, a friend of Victoria previously suggested that she wants to help other women "experiencing similar problems".

Her pal told The Sun newspaper: "Victoria hopes that by being honest with her difficulties, she can help others experiencing similar problems.

"Doing this documentary has, in many ways, been like therapy for her.

"There is no self-pity, she doesn't blame anyone else for her problems, and she shows that hard work leads to success."
