Dutch treat: Brooklyn and David Beckham back home in LA
Posh, 35, defied the critics to make a second appearance on the talent show. Some had branded her “wooden” and “icy” on her first appearance in Denver last week, while others complained the ex-Spice Girl was “too nice”. She had stepped in after Paula Abdul quit the panel.
Ready to judge: Simon Cowell at the auditions
Victoria apparently so impressed close friend Simon Cowell that he asked her to do a second stint, for which she is rumoured to be making another £155,000.
Friends said the music mogul loved “how funny she was” and added that Posh was “wonderfully natural”.
In Boston, she again joined Cowell, songwriter Kara DioGuardi and producer Randy Jackson on the panel. It opens the possibility for more shows in the future but “there are no talks of her being a permanent judge”, a spokeswoman said.
Posh flies home to LA after today's auditions.
