Chanelle follows in idol Posh's footsteps to make it in LA

She said she wants to drop the Posh persona in favour of being herself, but it seems WAG wannabe Chanelle Hayes is not quite ready to give up on her increasingly lucrative persona.

In stark contrast to idol Victoria Beckham, Chanelle wasn't quite accorded the reception enjoyed by the famous WAG and husband David Beckham on their arrival in Los Angeles last month.

There were no barricades to hold back the hordes of photographers nor a police escort, but that didn't stop the 19-year-old reality show contestant from lapping up what little attention she did attract.

Chanelle is said to have earned £250,000 and been bombarded with all the perks of a celebrity lifestyle including a free luxury sports car and clothes, since leaving the Big Brother house.

...unlike Victoria and David Beckham's arrival in LA last month which prompted a media frenzy

She swept through Los Angeles LAX Airport wearing supertight Rock and Republic jeans, and a white vest - an outfit that could have been pulled straight from Victoria's wardrobe. But recently said she hopes to be seen as more than just a Posh look alike.

Chanelle told Heat magazine: "I still think my Posh persona is brilliant, but now I've been given the chance to create as much of my persona as I can and that's what I want to do. I'm pretty OK being me."

Note to Chanelle: must try harder.
