Beckham's accent and weight will put off US Idols viewers

It's all good that Mrs Victoria Beckham has scored a £3million contract on American Idol, replacing Paula Abdul, but bosses of the hit show are said to still be worried about her image.

I was wondering when that might come up, but channel executives Fox that broadcast the show, apparently are worried about "Posh Spice being too skinny and her British accent", as they say "it might put off the US viewers".

Personally I think US viewers will love to see the fashion that Beckham will wear, but hey there is no guarantee on this evidently.

The 35-year-old has been given the stamp of approval by judge Simon Cowell and the maker of the show, Simon Fuller.

But channel executives at Fox are concerned her skinny frame and British accent may put off US viewers.

Mrs Beckham was only due to sit in as a guest judge for one episode of the talent search show.

After her experience, she admitted she was incredibly nervous and said ' I know how it feels to stand there and be judged.'

But she has since attended two rounds of auditions in Boston - making her position on the judging panel more likely.

Although fears over her tiny figure and distinctive British twang could scupper her chances of becoming a permanent fixture on the show.

'American Idol is the highest rated show and they don't want to pick a judge viewers don't take to.

'Focus groups are going to be set up to judge Victoria's performance,' a source told the News of the World.

'There's some concern about whether viewers will think she's too skinny.

'They're also worried about her accent. She's started to talk in a very posh voice and some people might struggle with that.'

Posh is not the only guest judge to appear on the show since Paula Abdul quit over a pay dispute last month.

I Kissed A Girl singer Katy Perry and soul legend Mary J Blige have also been lined up to take part on the panel.

But Victoria is the only one so far who has been asked to attend two rounds of auditions since her one-off appearance.

'Victoria is the clear favourite because of Simon Fuller's influence... She was a revelation at the second audition and is now top of the list to permanently replace Paula,' added the source. -Daily Mail London
