Helen Mirren: 'I love Victoria Beckham'

Actress Helen Mirren has lauded fashion icon Victoria Beckham.

The 65-year-old revealed that she would be "honoured" to have her waxwork model next to Beckham's at Madame Tussauds.

She told ITN: "I hope I'm put near Posh because I happen to love Posh. Mind you I'm going to be a bit chunky next to Posh! She's a great girl so I'd be honoured to be put next to her.

"It is an incredible honour. It's a bit like becoming a Dame. It's a recognition of your contribution to your culture and your country."

Mirren was joined at the unveiling of the waxwork by her husband Taylor Hackford.
