They were – and still are – the ultimate A-list couple. Footballer meets fashionable pop star. So how did it all begin? In the first episode, Becks reveals that it was love at first sight. He remembers watching the Spice Girls on TV when he turned to his friend and colleague Gary Neville to point out Posh Spice and say, “See that one there? I’m gonna marry that one.” Then, when they met at a football game for the first time, there was a mutual attraction as they both declared that they immediately “fancied” each other.

2. Posh and Becks’ first kiss was in a car park
