Victoria Beckham has been sending husband David sexy texts while he is in Italy.

The former Spice Girl is determined to show her soccer star husband - who is currently completing a stint with AC Milan, on loan from his normal team Los Angeles Galaxy - what he is missing while he is away.

A source revealed: "She's now desperate to remind David how great their life is in America every time he calls or texts." Victoria - who has three sons, Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, six and three-year-old Cruz, with David - has also started inviting the couple's friends round for parties in an effort to show her husband how good their social life is in America.

The source added: "Victoria has pals round for barbeques and brunches, then calls David so everyone can chat to him. "

She wants him to hear all about the glorious weather, people hanging out by the pool and the boys playing with all their friends." David, 33, is said to be keen to make his loan spell at AC Milan a permanent move, despite Victoria's reluctance to move the family to Italy.
