Apparently Victoria Beckham is putting her foot down as to who her husband can and can not interview with. Sky Sports presenter Ilaria D'Amico is obviously not one of those people. As part of his unveiling to the public, Ilaria was supposed to interview David as part of a special on the couple on Saturday evening but instead it will be a straight forward press conference. Italian media said that the format was changed 'at the request of the Beckham camp' and after Victoria had 'researched Ilaria on the internet.' The Italian newspaper La Repubblica went as far as to say it was because of Victoria's 'jealousy' that the interview with Ilaria was dropped.
I'm not sure how much of this I believe because Victoria has stated in numerous interviews that she is in no way threatened by other women admiring her husband. She also says that they are very lucky to have each other and they compliment each other. In my opinion, this is nonsense.

UPDATE: A spokesman for David Beckham said, "Illaria D'Amico will still be doing an interview with David. Originally Sky wanted to do an exclusive interview but we felt the press conference should be open to everyone and wouldn't want to restrict it to one broadcaster. He will do a separate interview with Sky afterwards. It's rubbish to suggest we would veto a presenter because of her looks." See, exactly what I said - nonsense.
