Victoria Beckham has signed a £10million deal with American TV network NBC to host her own tongue-in-cheek reality show. The news broke as Victoria was th stars of Sir Elton John's Oscars party last night at the Pacific Design Center in Hollywood.

Former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller - who also brokered David Beckham's $250 million (£127.47 million) move to LA Galaxy - was in charge of sealing the NBC deal for Posh.

He told us: "The Americans were falling over themselves to sign Victoria up for a TV show but we had to choose the right deal for her. NBC won out in the end as they have really taken a shine to Vic's hilarious sense of humour and they want to capitalise on this.

"She is a funny lady and this new series will show this to the world."

Hang on, Simon... are we talking about the same woman? Victoria Beckham? The woman who is famous for her pout? We'll have to take your word for it Simon...

Vic, 32, has signed up for one series of the fly-on-the-wall show, which will follow her move to America. Producers want to see how popular it is before agreeing to recommission it. Hubby David, 31, will feature in the show, but we're told he doesn't want a very hands-on role... it's all about Posh.

And she doesn't want her three sons Brooklyn, seven, Romeo, four and two-year-old Cruz, involved as she's always claimed she wants them to lead as normal a life as possible.

Her main priority is finding them a good school in LA, not to make them TV stars before they're even 10 years old.

Vic - who will be back on stage with the Spice Girls within 18 mo n t h s , according to Fuller - is sure to enlist the help of her new A-list pals Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez to help her secure top ratings Stateside.

If you want a little taster of Vic's, ahem... comic talents, then you can check out her website dvbstyle.com and go on to VBTV.

Fuller, who created the Spice Girls back in 1994 before being sensationally sacked in 1997, claims: "Funny is the key word. Just remember that when the show hits our screens.

"I can't divulge any more information about it as it's very early days, and the ink is barely dry on the deal.

"It will humanise her and give her fans an insight into what she's really like for the first time."
