Victoria Beckham 'Hugely Apologetic' For Disabled Parking Error

Posted Monday, February 28, 2011 by Contactmusic.com

VICTORIA BECKHAM has been forced to apologise to a severely ill woman after the star's driver occupied the last remaining disabled parking space at a toy store in Essex, England.

The pop star-turned-fashion designer visited the Toys R Us retailer last Sunday (20Feb11) in Harlow, Essex with her sister Louise to pick up balloons for her son Cruz's birthday party.

Her chauffeur stopped her black Jaguar right outside the store, using a parking spot allocated for disabled users only.

Chantelle Hughes, who suffers from gentic disease Cystic Fibrosis, waited for the car to move out of the space so she could point out the error to the driver - but was shocked when she saw the famous star.

She tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "Victoria Beckham needs to realise that disabled people could have parked there. She needs to think about it next time."

Beckham has now apologised for her driver's actions through her spokesperson, who says, "This was a momentary lapse in judgement by Victoria's driver, not something that Victoria was aware of or would ever condone.

"Victoria is of course, hugely apologetic for any inconvenience that may have been caused."
