Victoria Beckham raised eyebrows as she hit the gym in four-inch stilettos ahead of her Paris Fashion Week show on Monday. The designer, 52, was filmed by her bemused husband David as she strutted on her Stairmaster in the heels, successfully managing to balance her footwear on each step. In a video shared to Victoria's Instagram story, David, 51, asked: 'Darling I know it's Fashion Week, but don't you think you're taking this a bit too far?'Undeterred by the potential to injure herself, Victoria playfully responded: 'No I'm just training'. The Spice Girl cut a stylish figure in a burgundy leather midi skirt and pale pink shirt from her own fashion label. Victoria's holding company – which comprises both the fashion and beauty businesses – made an operating profit of £7.3million in the year to December 2025, a huge improvement from the previous year's figure of a £1.5million loss. Victoria Beckham raised eyebrows as she hit the Stairmaster in four-inch stilettos ahead of her Paris Fashion Week show on Monday The designer, 52, was filmed by her bemused husband David as she successfully managing to balance her heels on each stepThe fashion business alone made an operating profit of £1.5 million thanks to a sales boost of the grey 'Tilly' T-shirt (£110) and 1970s style 'Alina' jeans (£395) she wore in her Netflix documentary. Notes to the accounts, which cover the year to December 2025, say: 'The series generated... particularly strong momentum in denim and jersey with unit sales boosted by 48 per cent and 35 per cent respectively.'There was also an operating profit for the first time - as proudly announced to the Financial Times earlier this month.She told the newspaper: 'We have all worked hard for a long time for this moment of profitability and growth. 'We've been very transparent about the problems that we had in the business but have recovered and are now growing at a sensible pace. After 20 years, people don't look at my brand as a celebrity brand any more.'But the full position is that after tax the fashion business actually made a loss of £1.7million. What's more, there was a new loan to the fashion business of £1.5million.Fashion is booming, but the cost of sales is still sky-high and stands at £17.5million for the fashion business, actually an increase on the previous year. The fashion brand also owes £59million to creditors.When you include the make-up and beauty brand the figures look better. Victoria Beckham Holdings made an operating profit of £7.3million, and after-tax made a profit of £2.4million. Victoria's own-brand of vertiginous heels didn't hold her back when it came to her workout Victoria showed off her huge bouquet of flowers gifted from her supportive husband David after Katherine Ryan apologised to her for making a 'stupid joke' (pictured last month) The fashion designer, 52, gushed 'I love you' to David in an Instagram post after he surprised her on FridayIn her documentary released last October, Victoria held back tears as she recalled her embarrassment at her losses.After launching it in 2008, she was repeatedly bailed out by husband David which made her a laughing stock.'This business is everything to me, it's absolutely who I am but it has been a hell of a journey. I almost lost everything and that was a dark, dark time,' she said.Over the weekend, Victoria showed off her huge bouquet of flowers gifted from her supportive husband after Katherine Ryan apologised to her for making a 'stupid joke'.The fashion designer gushed 'I love you' to David in an Instagram post on Friday after he surprised her.His kind gesture comes after the BBC upheld complaints about the comedian linking an obscene term to Victoria on Have I Got News For You.Viewers complained after Katherine seemingly referred to the Spice Girls star as a c-word.An internal investigation into the episode of the satirical show in November 2025 came after two viewers said the remark was 'gratuitously offensive'.On the programme, which was hosted by Katherine, 43, the segment discussed David allegedly using the word in an email to his publicist where he expressed outrage at missing out on a knighthood in 2013 (he has since been knighted). He apparently referred to the honours committee as 'a bunch of cs'.The BBC's Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) ruled that panellist Maisie Adam's use of the word 'c' was justified as it referred to Sir David's own alleged use of the term. However, the ECU ruling concluded that there was no editorial justification for Katherine's subsequent joke about his wife.Katherine said in the recording: 'I don't know that we are allowed to broadcast the c-word, but you did reference Victoria Beckham earlier and we'll allow that.'In its ruling, the ECU said: 'There was no such justification for a comment which presented Victoria Beckham as equivalent to a particularly offensive word.'Katherine has since posted a video to her social media in response, blaming the incident on her being the mother of a newborn. She said: 'At that time, though there is no defence, I was suffering from a condition called matrescence. I was in that building with a ten-day-old baby. Should I have left the house?'This is gonna be a tough one for the feminists because I was a woman going to work but I did call another woman a c. Sometimes I forget that celebrities are not my friends. If I had called Jimmy Carr a c, he wouldn't have minded.'But this was described by the BBC as a slur, as though c are part of a protected group.'If you watched it on the day, it was clearly a joke and the whole audience went [gasp] and then I said, "Woah, I love her".'She also shared a screenshot of a message she sent to Victoria after 'to make it clear it was a stupid joke and I didn't mean any harm towards you at all'.
