Victoria Beckham admits there were times when she was filming her new Netflix show that she was left “frustrated”.

Two years ago, Netflix subscribers were treated to Beckham, a docu-series which gave fans an insight into the world of the iconic former footballer’s personal and professional lives.

Now, it’s his wife, former Spice Girl-turned-fashion-designer’s turn to step into the limelight with the release of Victoria Beckham on Thursday, October 9.

As well as watching her prepare for last year’s runway show at Paris Fashion Week, the three-part series shows how much her life has changed over the past three decades.

But taking a look back at what’s happened wasn’t always the easiest thing to do for the 51-year-old fashionista.

“I think this is the first time I’ve ever really looked back and reflected, which was honestly difficult," she told Netflix.

“When I did my master interviews, of which there were quite a few, it was the first time I’ve ever been forced to look back.

“Sometimes it made me smile, sometimes it was frustrating because I’m trying to remember things that maybe I’ve blocked out, there’s a few triggers along the way.”

While Victoria experienced some difficult moments when opening up about her life, she has compared it to a year’s worth of “therapy”.

She continued: “I feel that I went into this process calling myself a control freak and I’ve come out the other end a reformed control freak.

“I haven’t had the control with this documentary that I have with most elements of my life, and I feel much more content coming out the other end.”

Victoria also shared that her connection with the Spice Girls was an important part of why she agreed to take part in the documentary.

“I have been so defined by when I was in the Spice Girls, which was only a four-year period in my life, whereas fashion I’ve been in for coming up to two decades.

“Up until recently, I was aware I was still fighting the preconceptions because of my previous career and always being mindful of the noise and just focusing on building the (fashion and beauty) brand.

“I feel that it's only quite recently that I am confident enough to talk about my time in the Spice Girls, to talk about my family, to talk about my journey, and I feel that only now can I do that with confidence, knowing it’s not going to have an effect on the brand that I’ve spent two decades building.”

Victoria Beckham is available to watch on Netflix.
