Victoria Beckham axes YouTube channel after videos showing off her lavish lifestyle flop
VICTORIA Beckham has axed her YouTube channel after videos showing off her lavish lifestyle flopped.
The fashion designer reportedly threw in the towel after being told her videos were only making £25 per day in revenue.
Victoria, 45, had promised fans that she would show “the real me” when she launched the channel last year.
She even hired a scriptwriter for her In The Chair with Victoria Beckham series.
But just 109,000 people subscribed and the mum-of-four has decided to focus on her other income streams instead.
Last year, the former Spice girl was forced to cut 60 staff from her flagship shop in London’s Mayfair – and there are fears there could be more.
The Mail On Sunday has reported Victoria struggled to keep up with pressure from investors and her team are “anticipating horrendous financial results this year too”.
A source told the publication: “The YouTube channel has been impossible to monetise, and it was very time-consuming so the decision was that it would be pulled.
“While Victoria enjoyed the filming and had lots of fun doing it, there were production costs that were not being covered by its income.
“The decision was made to concentrate everyone’s time and efforts on something that is going to benefit her business.”
The Sun Online has contacted Victoria’s reps for comment.
Posh once described her YouTube channel as “like the Queen’s Speech but longer and with me rather than the Queen”.
She also poked fun at her life and one sketch saw her mock her “famously discreet nuptials” with husband David Beckham.
Another cringe-inducing gag saw the star suggest an Oscars review show of “three to six hours an episode”.
Wondering why she was not up for Best Actress, she said: “I suppose they can only consider people who’ve been in feature films in the past year. Otherwise, I’m sure I would be.”
Gesturing at herself, she carried on: “Isn’t there some category, some kind of lifetime achievement? I’m a wife mother, businesswoman, designer, icon.”
But one critic said: “It’s hardly comedy gold. You can almost hear the tumbleweed.”

Victoria’s fashion empire made £8.4million loss in 2016-2017 despite husband David’s £25million injection.
DB Ventures, which handles earnings from his image rights, pumped £25million into Victoria Beckham Ltd.
However, earlier this year, Victoria and David Beckham became BILLIONAIRES thanks to their joint accounts.
The couple reached £700million sterling – or a billion dollars.
And Victoria Beckham Ltd certainly helped as the former pop star’s company reported a net worth of £100million.
