Beckham 'can't spray scent on The View'

Victoria Beckham has reportedly been banned from spraying her new scent on the set of US talkshow The View because of the allergies suffered by presenter Whoopi Goldberg.

Goldberg had personally requested Beckham's appearance, despite the ex-Spice Girl currently promoting new perfume Signature Story, claims The Mirror.

A source said: "Whoopi was desperate to get Victoria on The View as she's got an incredible profile in the US right now. Victoria is launching her perfume so the timing was perfect and she agreed straight away.

"Sadly, Whoopi didn't really think things through - and it was only once her guest was confirmed that she informed producers she was allergic to perfume."

They added: "If she smells it, her eyes well up and start streaming, and her lips even swell. Studio bosses have had to write up contracts for the audience and Victoria making sure they don't spray the scent.

"It's not the ideal way to promote a perfume, but Victoria saw the funny side. She and Whoopi have ended up having a real chuckle about it."
