Victoria Beckham has banned husband David from watching the Spice Girls' first concert on Sunday, because she is too nervous.

The blonde singer gave birth to son Beau in August, but has since struggled to shed the pounds she piled on while pregnant. Emma and the rest of the girls - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Mel C - are set to pose for a sexy lingerie shoot for Victoria's Secret ahead of their comeback tour but Emma has been in tears over her post-baby bulge.
