Victoria Beckham has said that she expects her children to work for a living when they grow up, despite the financial security from her and her husband David's success.

The ex-Spice Girl told US Elle that 10-year-old Brooklyn, 7-year-old Romeo and 4-year-old Cruz would not be able to do nothing when they are older.

Victoria said: "They bloody well will work. Same as myself, same as David. They're not going to be the kind of kids that just hang about.

"I want them to be able to fulfil their passions but I think it's important that the children grow up and have respect for themselves."

She added: "David and I have a working relationship together, and we also have a private life together. Someone used the example recently of Brad and Angelina.

"They might be in a movie together but that doesn't mean they are going to let someone film them at home. I don't do 'at homes' with my family. I don't march my kids down red carpets."
