Victoria Beckham was thankful for girl power after she suffered a panic attack before the Spice Girls performed at the London Olympics - her bandmate Emma Bunton leapt to the rescue and comforted her.
The designer/singer was terrified of performing live at the Olympics closing ceremony last weekend after a four year absence - and had a serious panic before they appeared in front of a packed stadium and a global TV audience of more than one billion viewers.
They spoke on Bunton's Heart FM radio show, with Beckham saying: "I was in the taxi with Emma before we started and I nearly just got out of the car. I was so nervous. I felt sick and Emma was so amazing. Honestly, that's how you know a real friend. If it wasn't for her, I would not have been out there."

A source added to The Mirror: "Victoria played down the incident but she basically had a full-on panic attack and was in a complete state. Emma was brilliant and gave her a big hug, saying, 'It's all gonna be OK, you look amazing'."
The performance seemed to go off without a hitch, and Melanie Brown has revealed that she's keen to go on tour with them again.
She said: "Can I just say, I love my girls. I loved them before but I love them even more now. I had so much fun. None of us fell over! Why don't we set up a petition and get us back on tour?"
Victoria added: "We've got some amazing fans out there who have been with us from the start."
