Victoria turned 50 yesterday, and a source said last night: “It was all top secret up until the last minute. David loves going all-out for big celebrations.”

The couple are due back today, before her main party at a private members’ club in London on Saturday night.

Ex-England footie captain David and their kids shared never-before-seen snaps of Posh on social media, including Victoria as a baby and at dance shows as a teen.

Becks wrote: “As you head into this birthday you should look back and be proud of what you have accomplished and built. Have a special day, you deserve it all. 50 and fit — I am being honest.”

Her bandmates all chipped in, with Geri Halliwell posting: “You’re amazing! Wishing you love and joy.”

Mel C told her: “I’m so proud of everything we achieved.”

But Victoria, who hurt her foot weeks ago in the gym, will party on crutches on Saturday.

Our source added: “Doctors said she’s not ready to ditch the moon boot.”
