Posh chooses Becks return over TV show appearance

Victoria Beckham has reportedly pulled the plug on her £10m (€14.7m) US reality show - so she can watch her soccer star husband David make his return to the England team.

Victoria Beckham has reportedly pulled the plug on her £10m (€14.7m) US reality show - so she can watch her soccer star husband David make his return to the England team.

The former Spice Girl has been letting a TV film crew document her efforts to settle into her new Los Angeles home as her family prepares to move to the city next month when David begins his contract with LA Galaxy.

But a British tabloid is today claiming the pop star has pulled out of the document altogether, because TV bosses demanded she stay in the US this week - and miss out on Beckham's first match for England since he was dropped from the squad last year.

A source tells the Daily Mirror: "She told producers she was not going to miss David's England game and they seemed unwilling to compromise.

"It's a real sacrifice for her as the TV series was a great launch-pad for her career over there. But there is absolutely no way she'd have sacrificed being there to spur him on… just to do a TV show - regardless of how much it would help her profile in the US."

The singer's spokeswoman adds: "Victoria has had great fun filming the show. However, the schedule was incredibly tight and it is up to the network what happens next."

The England team are playing a friendly match against Brazil tonight at London's Wembley Stadium.
