AHHH, so the truth is out this week. Victoria Beckham has finally admitted she has one. It made headlines in some papers, but she’s not alone of course, super-model Heidi Klum was only pictured rescuing hers from drowning in the sea last week and not so long ago the Camerons quite controversially hired an Australian one.

I am, by the way, talking about nannies.

No doubt Mrs Beckham’s admission will be met with much scoffing from some circles.

But at least it should please the glamour model Katie Price who some time ago used her national newspaper column to ‘out’ Posh Spice’s use of hired help.

Ms Price, a reality show ‘star’, lambasted the fashion designer and mother of four after she talked about helping her children with their homework and dropping them off at school before working a full day at her fashion label in a magazine article.

According to Ms Price the article betrayed ordinary women because it failed to mention Victoria had a team of staff to help her cope with the demands of being a mum to Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

At this point, you may be thinking enough column inches have already been wasted on this topic, and you’re probably right.

But Ifind it incredibly frustrating that no one ever questions if David Beckham has a nanny.

When have you ever stood in a pub and heard someone say “of course he’s only playing for England because someone else looks after his kids while he’s at training”.

Similarly not once have I heard anyone ponder how David Cameron juggles running the country with his considerable home commitments.

As well as hiring people to help with their childcare,I very much doubt if either man cooks his own tea, washes his own car, does his own laundry or even mows his own lawn... but society doesn’t appear to give a monkeys.

Nope instead we snipe and stab at Victoria Beckham – a woman who has, as far as I can see, not only brought up four delightful children while achieving global success as both a pop star and fashion designer thanks to determination and sheer hard work, but has more than earned herself enough money to pay for a dozen nannies.
