Victoria Beckham is under and strict instructions from her husband David to 'fatten up'.


With expert nutritional advice at his fingertips, David has put his wife on a carbohydrate-laden diet. It is hoped that by putting on more weight and increasing her body fat percentage Posh will be able to conceive the couple's fourth child more easily.


A source close to the Beckhams says:

'David knows that Victoria struggles with her body image and thrives on being thin - but he is desperate to see her with a few more curves.

'David has pleaded with her in the past to put on weight, but now he's finally taken serious action and given her a diet plan to ensure that she fattens up.

'Her new diet will be very carbohydrate-driven, and rather than picking at sushi and steamed vegetables, she will be tucking into lots of bread, pasta and brown rice - even crisps if that's what she fancies.

'Victoria's agreed to go along with it because she and David are happier than ever at the moment and also because she is desperate to conceive. After having three sons, who they love dearly, both of them would absolutely love a little girl to dote on.'
