Victoria Beckham has landed a role on Gossip Girl, a show which is known as much for fashion as it’s outrageous storylines.  Beckham, 35, was pursuaded to star in the show by Blake Lively, who is a huge fan of Victoria’s outfits.

“Blake and co-star Leighton Meester are fans of Victoria’s designs, and have both worn her dresses.

“Blake attended the unveiling of Victoria’s new collection in New York last month, alongside the series’ stylist Eric Damen.

“The trio started chatting and Victoria revealed she was a huge fan of the show. From here, Blake pleaded with her to guest star in an episode and ran the idea past producers.”

Victoria Beckham is pictured here – arriving at Heathrow Airport. She’s set to fly into New York where she will film her scenes in one day.  No word yet on what role she will play on the show. Suggestions of her playing Ed Westwick’s long lost mother were quickly shot down – so who knows which role she’ll end up playing!

Can’t wait to see!
