Victoria Beckham claims she never discusses Scientology with good friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

The Spice Girl denied claims the couple, who are devout followers of the bizarre sci-fi cult, have put pressure on her and soccer star husband David to join.

She told NBC's 'Today' show: "There's been so much made of Scientology. It never comes up. They do their thing. We do our thing. They are a wonderful family. Tom and Katie are genuinely lovely people."

Victoria says Katie has been particularly helpful with her family's move Stateside since David signed to Los Angeles Galaxy.

The singer - who has three sons, Brooklyn, eight, Romeo, four, and two-year-old Cruz, with David - said: "She's a very strong, sweet, lovely girl. Katie's helped me so much with the move. She's genuinely a nice girl."

Despite moving to Los Angeles, the home of Hollywood, Victoria says she has no ambition to break into movies.

She said: "I must be the only person in Los Angeles that doesn't want to be in films."

Talking about her own acting experience, in which she played herself in the Spice Girls movie 'Spice World', Victoria joked: "Have you seen 'Spice World'? I don't think I'm that good at acting!"
