Victoria Beckham blasted for using disabled parking space

The fashion designer was buying presents at Toys R Us for son Cruz’s sixth birthday when her chauffeur pulled into a disabled parking bay outside the shop in Essex – reportedly depriving a seriously ill cystic fibrosis sufferer of a space.

An eyewitness told The Mail On Sunday: 'Posh took the last space. When I parked, there was one space left - the one right in front of the store and it was free, as I remember that I pulled into it before reversing into my space. She did not have to do it and could have left that space free for someone who really needed it. It would not have taken her much to park where I was - it was literally about six feet away.'

A spokesperson for the mother of four apologised on her behalf. 'This was a momentary lapse in judgement by Victoria's driver, not something that Victoria was aware of or would ever condone. Victoria is, of course, hugely apologetic for any inconvenience that may have been caused.'
