Victoria Beckham is taking a look back at the time when she was asked to weigh herself on live television -- just two months after she had welcomed her first child, Brooklyn, with husband David Beckham.
In an interview for an upcoming issue of Vogue Australia, per Daily Mail, the former Spice Girls member recalled appearing on British TV presenter Chris Evans' show "TFI Friday" back in the '90s, calling out the comedian for his request to have her step on a scale on TV to reveal her post-baby weight.
