Beckham lands US chat show role

**Victoria Beckham is to appear as a guest presenter on popular US daytime show The View.**The former Spice Girl will join actresses Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd and broadcaster Barbara Walters on 17 February.

Beckham, 35, appeared as a guest on the live show in September.

The singer-turned fashion designer’s recent guest slot on the judging panel of American Idol was largely panned by US television critics.

A spokesman for Beckham said she was excited about hosting the show next month.

“She had a lot of fun last time she was on the show, it’s a real ‘girlie’ environment, the hosts are all strong, intelligent women who she respects and admires, and she is looking forward to returning to the show in a few weeks,” he said.

On The View website, Beckham is described as “a fashion icon, a former Spice Girl… she’s all-around fabulous”.

Courtney Cox wore a dress designed by Beckham at the Golden Globe awards earlier this month.
