Bella, who is also David Beckham’s head of communications, has spent two months working for Victoria but has been poached by video sharing service Tik Tok.

 

The pair’s departures come amid ongoing business woes for the designer, 45 and follow the resignations of senior execs Jo Milloy, Ruth Davies, Flo Shippey and Nadine Gough.

A source said: “It’s a body blow for Victoria.

“She has always prided herself on running a tight ship but she’s been unable to persuade some of her most valued members of staff to stay put.

“It’s been a difficult few months, and the last thing Victoria wants people to think is that she’s running a sinking ship.

 

“She still has some top talent in her team, and is determined this won’t affect morale.

“She hopes to get things back on track now.”

 

Four months ago a Companies House report showed Victoria’s fashion empire had recorded a £12.2million loss for the previous year, taking losses over 11 years to £42million.

As a result, she has had to make a number of job cuts.

She was told she can no longer employ a chauffeur — meaning she has to drive herself to work or get a taxi.

Her West London HQ was also instructed to stop using expensive designer plant pots.

Last year the mum of four was blasted for giving top jobs to Europeans — despite her OBE for services to British fashion.
