With one fell swoop of a statement, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has confirmed that she not only got breast implants, she recently had them removed!

According to OnTheRedCarpet.com, Mrs. David Beckham first dropped the hint about her mammary augmentation three years ago, in the U.K. edition of Vogue. At the time, she answered the reporter's question about her breast implants with one word: "Gone."

But that comment, for whatever reason, flew under the radar of the blogger-atti (the gossip intelligensia?), and so she was asked again about her breast reduction in the upcoming issue of Allure Magazine. "I don't have them anymore," she told the interviewer. "I think I may have purchased them."

In addition, she claims that she didn't have them removed because they were painful; rather, according to the New York Daily News, she got them removed after she gave birth to her daughter, Harper.

This seems to be a big step for the former Spice Girl, who -- up until recently -- has never even confirmed that she's had plastic surgery. "I'm completely natural," she told Piers Morgan in 2003, according to the Daily Mail, "except for my fingernails and I have a bit of help with my hair and a bit of a St. Tropez (fake tan) going on."

But according to the same site, Beckham has gone under the knife quite a few times since the Spice Girls broke up in 2000. One of the first enhancements noticed by the public was Beckham's increasingly-plump posterior. When the Spice Girls reunited seven years later, critics noticed that her bra size had fluctuated quite a bit: at the height of the Spice Girls' popularity, she was in an A cup. At the peak of her plastic surgery phase, they were bumped up to a staggering DD size. Upon having the implants removed, she went down to a B-cup, and now, after the birth of her daughter, she seems to be back to her A cup... and has also cut down on wearing her barely-there "little black Gucci dresses" in public.
