Last years X Factor only finished a matter of weeks ago and already tongues are wagging with news of whos going to feature in the next series.

Earlier today we reported that Lily Allen is after Dannii Minogue’s job and now it seems that Victoria Beckham may also be in the running.

The Daily Mail have reported that Mrs Beckham has been offered £1 million to appear as a judge on the show and that she is seriously considering the offer.

A friend told the newspaper: “She doesn’t want to come back to Europe with her tail between her legs. But if she can return here to be on The X Factor, then that is different.”

Publicist Max Clifford, Cowell’s spokesman, said: “Simon speaks very highly of Victoria. I know he likes her a lot. This deal has not been mentioned to me.”
