Posh to judge new talent show?

Victoria Beckham is to judge wannabe stars on a new ITV1 variety programme.

The former Spice Girl will appear on the judging panel for the light-hearted show alongside Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan.

"Simon has wanted to team up with Victoria for years," a source told the Sunday Mirror. "He's absolutely thrilled and is confident the new show will be a huge success."

Cowell has described the new series, which will be presented by Paul O'Grady, as "an old-fashioned talent show, featuring a combination of amateur performers and talentless wannabes."

Last year, Simon claimed that a major television appearance could help Victoria to turn around her career.

He explained, "Victoria should do a show with me - like Pop Idol or X Factor. After doing a show like that, her career could turn around in a millisecond. The public would become more endeared to her. In fact, I'm amazed she hasn't already put herself in that situation."
