BECKS SPLASHES £40K ON POSH TREAT

SOME of us have to make do with a wilting bunch of forecourt flowers and lingerie three sizes too big.

But not Victoria Beckham. She had an altogether Posher experience on her 33rd birthday yesterday.

Doting hubby David, proudly flaunting his now heavily tattooed arms, whisked the mum-of-three off on a surprise £40,000 trip to Paris - with no detail left to chance...
We hear that the Real Madrid ace meticulously planned the overnight trip - first filling his wife's bag with new outfits, then organising private fittings with her favourite dress and shoe designers in the French capital. Are you taking notes, fellas?

Our spy reveals: "Victoria thought that she'd have a really low-key birthday, just going for a Chinese meal with David and their boys.

"But when she woke up, David asked her to get in the car - he'd already packed a bag full of clothes he'd bought for her.

"She was overwhelmed to see he'd even managed to get a pair of skinny white jeans from her new collection - she hadn't even had a production sample in yet so she had no idea how he'd have managed it."

David then whisked his missus off to Paris in a private jet, which would have set him back a princely £25,000.

Once there, the midfield star took the chance to don a white T-shirt and flaunt his new body art. The additions to his upper arm took six hours to do and are based on tattoos worn by Wentworth Miller in the TV series Prison Break.

But if that was David's present to himself, he had more treats in store for Victoria... "David had spent weeks organising private sessions at the showroom of Christian Louboutin, where Victoria snapped up a pair of £1,500 made-to-measure heels.

"Then he took her to the studio of one of her all-time favourite designers Azzedine Alaia to select a custom-made £7,000 dress and she was almost overcome."

The couple then retired to a £6,000-anight suite once favoured by Posh idol Audrey Hepburn at the Paris Ritz. There, LA Galaxy-bound David had filled the room with champagne and flowers.

It's not the first time the 31-year-old midfield ace has given Cupid a run for his money in the romance stakes.

He jetted Posh to the French capital for her 31st birthday in 2005.

After all this, we're sure that Vic will agree that her hubby's Becks appeal has just gone off the scale...
