Some people dream of having their clothes selected for them by Victoria Beckham. Others turn pale at the very thought. For the lucky X-Factor finalists, though, there may be no choice, as judge Louis Walsh let slip that Posh could be appearing in the show, as a celebrity stylist.

"I consider Victoria a good friend of mine and want her to be involved,” he said. “She would add some glamour to the show, that’s for sure. It would be the perfect job for her. Victoria would be a great addition to the team."

This is, of course, more than can be said for the last "addition to the team", Paula Abdul. Louis claims her stint at early audition shows was marred by her constant lateness and lack of professionalism.
