Vulnerable Beckham

Victoria Beckham is considering turning down a TV offer in America to look after husband David Beckham.

The former Spice Girl has been offered the chance to host a US TV show, but since being dropped from the England team David's obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has got worse and his wife fears he is too vulnerable to be left alone.

A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "This is a hard one for Victoria. Career breaks like this don't come along often, but David and her boys mean the world to her. The fashion world respects Victoria so this show could be huge."

The US fashion-based reality show is being produced by Simon Fuller- the creator of 'Pop Idol', 'American Idol' and the former manager of The Spice Girls.

If Victoria, 32, accepts the job she will have to fly to America to film the series, leaving her three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and David at home in Madrid.

David, 31, confessed in April that he suffers from OCD which worsens under stress.

The condition means sufferers must have everything neat and organised into lines or pairs and become distressed if they cannot control and organise everything.
