Victoria Beckham arrives at LAX airport to catch a flight looking as trim as ever.

It has recently emerged she will be a guest judging on an episode of talent show American Idol — something that Posh knows a great deal about.

The former Spice Girl was approached for the role by Simon Cowell after Abdul revealed she was quitting the show after eight years.

Posh, 35, who recently fuelled talk of a return to the Premiership for husband David Beckham when her spokesman confirmed they are interested in buying a house in Chelsea, will make a reported £155,000 for filming at least two episodes.

The pop singer-turned fashion designer will join Cowell and other hosts Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi for the new series.

Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, American Idol is the most popular show in the US with the last series drawing an average 26.3 million viewers per episode.
