No topic was left untouched in Victoria Beckham's Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham.

Out on October 9, the three-part series shared Beckham's truth as the 51-year-old fashion designer got candid about her experiences on and off the stage, including her life before the Spice Girls.

During her childhood in Hertfordshire, Beckham reportedly felt like an outsider because she was bullied and treated like a loner at school."I was awkward, I wasn't particularly sociable - I just didn't fit in at all. But when you're onstage, for that moment, you're somebody else ... I desperately wanted to be liked," she said in the documentary.

Since she loved to dance, her parents remortgaged their house to fund her training."I was aware of the responsibility I had to work very hard," she added.

After spending time in the theatre, Beckham developed a confidence that helped her when she auditioned for the Spice Girls when she was 19.

A £20 thing from Oxfam. She nicks all my money," Halliwell revealed in the docuseries.

Beckham explained, "The other girls weren't really into fashion. That left a really nice budget for me... I went to Gucci. I'd never ever owned a designer garment before. And then, fashion became everything."

She might have been grumpy but she was actually great."As for why she did not participate, Beckham revealed, "It was good to celebrate the Spice Girls, but it was during that [2008] tour that I realized I didn't belong on stage. It had been fun, but it wasn't what I loved anymore."
