Aug 14 (IBNS) Former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham is now adding more spice to the reality show American Idol.

Victoria, wife of soccer superstar David Beckham, is now slowly getting used to her role of the fourth judge on panel of “American Idol.” The post was left vacant after the sudden exit of Paula Abdul.

Victoria was in Boston Thursday to help judge callbacks for contestants, Fox publicist Alex Gillespie said, wtopnews.com reported.

Victoria was a guest judge during Friday’s auditions in Denver, and it was originally described as a one-time appearance.

She had said that she was a huge fan of “American Idol” and also admitted that she was nervous about being a judge. “My heart is about to jump out my throat,” she said.

“I have a British sense of humor. I’m quite welcoming to it,” Beckham said.

Victoria was roped in after Paula walked out of the show and the network made it clear that guest judges will help the network to stick to their plan of having four judges on the show.

After Abdul’s abruptly announced she was quitting, many felt that the network would revert to using three judges.

But Fox is also sticking to four judges during each week during audition process. American Idol returns for its ninth season in January.
