Victoria Beckham is leading a battle against loneliness as her best friend Katie Holmes makes plans to leave Beverly Hills. Katie and husband Tom Cruise live just ten minutes down the road from The Beckhams. But now Tom and Katie have told Victoria that work commitments mean they will sell their L.A mansion.

“It is really upsetting news for Victoria,” a celebrity snitch tells People.

“Katie has been her closest confidante since she first arrived in America and without her around, Victoria is worried about feeling lonely.”

“Victoria is feeling quite low at the moment. But no doubt she will put a brave face on it and pull through - as always.”
