Victoria Beckham shows her Ugly side

The Spice Girl recently filmed a starring role on the award-winning Channel 4 programme, Ugly Betty - and walked a way with a rather hefty pay check.

She was reportedly paid an impressive £70,000 for a one-off cameo appearance in an episode titled Nice Day for a Posh Wedding.

This sneak peek picture shows Victoria playing bridesmaid to Ugly Betty villain Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams), who is set to wed Alan Dale's Bradford Meade.

Of course, Posh's starring role wasn't complete without a head to toe designer outfit - she looked right at home in a figure hugging Vera Wang dress.

Victoria was first suggested for a cameo role after meeting actor Eric Mabius, who plays Daniel Meade, at an awards ceremony in London.

He was convinced she would be perfect for a walk-on role.

Producer Marco Pennette joked that he wanted David Beckham to come along to filming.

Before shooting started, he said: "We want her husband on set. It's one of the requirements."

A source told The Sun Posh fitted right in: "Victoria had a blast filming - and everyone loved having her on."

He added: "Obviously she's a fashion expert herself, so she fitted right in at Mode."

Ugly Betty, which also stars Extras actress Ashley Jensen, is one of the most popular shows on US TV.

Ugly Betty starts tonight on Channel 4 at 9pm, first look episodes on E4, Wednesday's at 9pm.
