Victoria Beckham doesn't cook because it is bad for her stress levels

Discussing how she reduces stress, she told the Telegraph magazine: "By not taking on anything I genuinely don't think I can do. Oh and by not cooking...

"Harper says I can burn water, so it's probably better for everyone that I don't."

The former Spice Girls singer doesn't eat meat or wheat and explained she overhauled her diet after struggling with acne in her 20s.

She said: "It was because of my skin that I became very careful about what I ate."

Victoria has found getting older liberating because she no longer cares as much about what people think of her.

She said: "Yeah, probably I did look stern in a lot of pictures, but I was so uncomfortable.

"Was there a time when I used to scroll through all the comments about me? Probably. But now I just don't have the time."

The 'Stop' hitmaker and her spouse have always been open with their children and have encouraged their kids to always confide in them.

She said: "David and I have always tried to make them feel they can talk about anything and everything as a family, and let them know they can come to us with any problem. It's scary when children internalise."

And Victoria believes her children have inherited her optimistic nature.

She said: "We're glass-half-full people. All of us. The older I get, the more positive I feel. We were watching 'Inside Out' the other day, and the kids all said, 'You're Joy, Mum.' What a compliment."
