Victoria Beckham sues restaurant over advert

London: Victoria Beckham has sued a takeaway restaurant after it claimed that its pizza crusts were thinner than the former Spice Girl.

Sidhu Golden Fish and Chips put a slogan on the back of its delivery van. It has a caricature of Mrs Beckham wearing a sash which reads “Anorexic Fashion Icon”, the Telegraph reported. “Our new Victoria Beckham thin crust only 2mm thin,” the ad reads.

A spokesperson for the fashion designer said: “It is highly inappropriate to trivialise such a disorder, and defamatory to be so thoughtless with a person’s reputation...sadly this is now a legal matter.”

Restaurant manager Soni Sidhu said he never meant to offend anyone with the advert, which has been on the back of the van for about three years.
