Spice Girls Join Tesco

It seems Victoria Beckham is not too posh to shop at Tesco.
The supermarket chain has recruited the LA-based style queen and her Spice Girls band mates to front a series of Christmas advertisements this festive season. In the one-minute commercial, featured on Telegraph TV, YouTube and due to hit television screens soon, Posh Spice prances into Tesco in search of the perfect gift for her fellow band members but is shocked to discover Baby, Scary, Ginger and Sporty also in the supermarket aisles in search of a cut-price Christmas.
The girls spend their time trying to hide from each other - behind books, Christmas trees and toys - while picking up bargains along the way. With their money-spinning reunion tour about to kick off, it seems Christmas has come early for the Spice Girls. They each reportedly earned a cool £1 million from Tesco for the commercial. Unfortunately for Tesco, however, Victoria Beckham is on the record as saying her favourite shop is Marks & Spencer. Just before the Beckhams moved to LA, she said: "You can get most things out there but what I will miss is M&S. I missed it when I first moved to Madrid and it is the first shop I go to when I'm back."
Tesco is the latest store chain to cash in on reformed 1990s pop groups. In September, Marks & Spencer unveiled boy band Take That as the new faces of its menswear ranges.
