Victoria Beckham has revealed she was hungover in a newly-resurfaced clip of a Spice Girls press conference in 1997.

On Monday, the fashion designer shared the video, which was recently posted on the @sainthoax Instagram account with the caption ‘Victoria is me on every Zoom call’, and noted on her Instagram Stories: ‘In my defence I was really hungover [sic].’

In the clip, the former singer wears a black strappy top and her hair scraped back. While her bandmates respond to journalists’ questions, the mother-of-four appears to struggle to sit and concentrate during the press conference in Brazil.

In contrast to her fellow Spice Girls who chat animatedly, Beckham looks on with a blank expression and at one point rests her forehead on her fingertips.

In the end, 'Posh Spice' is forced to stand up from the table, push back a set of curtains behind her and walk away from the press conference.

Several Spice Girls fans have commented on Saint Hoax’s post, which is also captioned ‘she was always ahead of her time’, noting they too have looked like Beckham on a hangover.

‘Oh I have been there,’ noted one fan. Another wrote: ‘She’s on mute.’ One joked: ‘Victoria is me in real life.’

The British star has been getting into the festive spirit in recent weeks and last week shared a series of photos and videos of her family preparing for December 25.

In one snap, her four children – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper – pose for the camera, and in another clip the famous mother films her brood standing for a family Christmas photo in front of a large tree.

‘The making of… never work with kids or animals!!’ she captioned the hilarious clip which sees the family's dogs causing mayhem.

‘This is MY LIFE !!! [sic]’ commented actress Reese Witherspoon.

‘Laughed out loud!!!’ added fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton.
