Sources are saying that Posh Spice is being considered as a judge for next years season of American Idol.

The rumour comes just a day after Paula Abdul announced her decision to quit the show.

A source told The Sun: “Paula’s absence leaves a big gap on the judging panel. At least 25 million viewers tune in every week.

“It needs a big star. Simon Cowell and Victoria have always got on. It would be an incredible coup to get Posh. She was in one of the biggest girl groups in history so she knows what she is talking about. Simon Fuller is now speaking to her.”

However Victoria’s agent has insisted that she will only be making ONE appearance as a guest judge and is not joining the panel full time.
