Chanelle follows in Posh's LA footsteps...again

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - although we wonder what Posh must be thinking about former Big Brother housemate Chanelle Hayes' latest outfit.

If the Spice Girl is suffering from a case of deju vu, it's possibly due to Chanelle's tightly-clinging purple dress resembling a pink number she wore while house-hunting in Los Angeles recently.

At least the apparel wasn't an exact copy - unlike the hotpants and corset ensemble the 19-year-old wore last week in homage to Posh's infamous Chanel look.

It's obvious the reality TV star means business in her desire to live like the multi-millionairess Posh, which doesn't stop at following her sartorial style, pout and penchant for shopping.

The Posh Spice wannabe has even developed an interest in football during her visit to LA - well watching David Beckham play anyway.

While Posh barely cracked a smile as husband Beckham scored his first goal for the American team - Chanelle's rapturous applause momentarily confused the U.S media and fans alike who mistook her for the real Posh.

However the mistake was quickly rectified when the rather bored-looking Posh appeared on the big screen.

After the match, which saw Beckham's team win 2-0 over DC United, Chanelle said: "I don't know that much about football but I loved watching Beckham play.

"This is my first ever match and I think seeing that goal has been pretty spectacular.

"Coming to see David play and watching him score has been the highlight of my LA trip.

"I would fly here again just to watch him play.

"He is so gorgeous. I fell for him big time," Chanelle told the Daily Star.
