The Spice Is Right / Victoria Beckham To Do Reality Show

Posh to star in reality show

Victoria Beckham has reportedly signed a multi-million dollar deal with US television network NBC to star in her own reality show.

According to Victoria's manager, Simon Fuller, NBC have decided to commission the show after being attracted by the star's "hilarious sense of humour".

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - As English soccer star David Beckham prepares to move to a new team in Los Angeles, his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is also eyeing a new career -- in television.
