David and Victoria Beckham could face further backlash after financial claims emerged suggesting the pair had already obtained a huge bank loan.
More recently, the 46-year-old, who is the CEO of her own clothing brand Victoria Beckham Ltd, came under fire after she opted to use the government furlough scheme, paying 80% of her staff’s wages while they are at home.
The former Spice Girl, who had initially hoped to utilise the furlough scheme and taxpayers money, later had a change of heart after facing immense backlash.
With new financial allegations now in question, suggesting that the Beckhams had already obtained a ‘£10 million bank loan’, could see tongues wagging once again.

The U-turn decision was aired after Good Morning Britain’s controversial host, Piers Morgan, led the charge, slamming Vicky for her initial consideration to use the bail out fund.
He fumed: “How nice it was at the weekend, with all the selfless acts, to hear Victoria Beckham is furloughing 30 staff of her failing business.”
“Lost money year after year. Been bailed out by her famously rich husband David Beckham.
“Sorry, this furlough scheme was not for prima donna millionaires like you. Running a vanity project like her fashion business that makes no money.”

The Beckhams now risk facing stern questioning about why the furlough money was needed in the first place, after new reports reveal a multi million pound bank loan was acquired to buy a property.
A swanky property that is alleged to include five-bedrooms, a swimming pool, spa, hair salon, juice bar, gym, and helicopter landing pad.
The Sun on Sunday reported that David and Victoria had taken out the £10 million bank loan to purchase a Miami penthouse, last year.

An insider told the publication: “Given the vast wealth of the mega-rich pair, it’s a bit rich of them to have taken out a loan.
“If they hadn’t borrowed cash to buy yet another pad, perhaps they wouldn’t have had to furlough staff in the first place.”
The source continued: “If Victoria could borrow £10million to buy a Miami bolthole, there are probably a few people thinking she could have borrowed money in the first place to pay her staff, rather than try and rely on the taxpayer.”
