Victoria Beckham has come under fire from a famous Spanish chef for causing him grief at a celebrity wedding with her ‘complicated’ dinner demands.
Three Michelin star chef Dani Garcia, 46, claimed the Spice Girl had ‘changed the whole menu’ when former Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos tied the knot with his model and TV presenter wife Pilar Rubio in Spain in 2019.
Dani recalled how Victoria had coconut water by her ‘all of the time’ as well as bowls of mints, as he branded the habits ‘odd’ in a new interview.

Touching on what it was like to cook for the fashion designer, 48, at the June 2019 wedding banquet near Seville, Dani said on Spanish TV on Monday night: ‘It was very strange. Victoria Beckham changed the whole menu.
‘It was very sad because when you make such an effort, not just me and my team but the bride and groom and everyone else to create a unique menu.
‘Hers was totally different and just based around vegetables. And then there were some odd things that I’ve never seen in my life.
‘She had coconut water, all the time, a bowl of mints and then on the other side hydroalcoholic gel which is very famous now but back then wasn’t because the Covid pandemic hadn’t started.

‘It was complicated giving Victoria her menu that night.’
Disputing Dani’s version of events, a source close to Victoria said: ‘This makes a great story but isn’t fair or accurate – the most Victoria would have done when asked about dietary requirements is ask for some plain fish and vegetables.’
Dani, who was awarded his first Michelin star when he was just 25, made his comments about Victoria on a popular evening show called El Hormiguero, which the likes of Justin Bieber and Will Smith have guested on regularly over the years.
It is one of Spain’s most watched prime time programmes in its evening slot on the Antena 3 channel with around 2.5 million viewers.
Victoria’s ‘odd’ eating habits have been the subject of intense scrutiny for years.

‘Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.
‘Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.’
Sergio Ramos, now with Paris Saint-Germain, became a father for the fourth time in July 2020 with his stunning wife after they welcomed son Maximo Adriano into the world.
Dani is Malaga province’s first chef with three Michelin stars.
