Posh and Becks to appear in Extras finale

Monday 9th July 2007, 7:07am

According to The Sunday Mirror David and Victoria Beckham have agreed to appear in the last ever episode of Ricky Gervais' Extras.

The celebrity couple, who were at the British Grand Prix on Sunday, are apparently huge fans of the sitcom. The report says they've accepted an offer from Gervais to appear in the show after he phoned them to ask them to appear. A friend of Gervais's told the Mirror: "He is over the moon after getting confirmation from David and Victoria. Ricky is still discussing how the Beckhams will appear. But they have indicated there is no limit to how silly they are prepared to look."

The final two Extras episodes will be shown on BBC1 this Christmas. Madonna, Clive Owen and George Michael are also known to be making cameo appearances in the star-studded sitcom.

Victoria will also be appearing in the forthcoming series of Ugly Betty. She will star as herself in a cameo role for two episodes. If internet rumours are to be believed the producers of the American comedy drama will be paying the 'fashion icon' £70,000 to appear!

The couple certainly need not worry about how to pay the gas and water bills - Channel Five are producing David Beckham's Soccer USA, ITV1 have paid £250,000 for the UK rights to Victoria's Coming To America documentary and there's numerous other reality shows following them around at the moment.
