Victoria Beckham has snubbed Mel B's offer to appear on 'The X Factor'.

The 39-year-old talent show judge and former Spice Girl - who was hoping one of her ex-band mates would join her in Cancun, Mexico, as the contestants visit the judges' houses prior to the live shows - has already had her offer refused by the 40-year-old fashion designer.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "All the Spice Girls have been approached to join Mel, as she thinks it would be great to have a reunion on the show.

"But Mel is realistic that it's a long way to travel and the other girls have commitments.

"Victoria has already indicated she won't be able to do it but Mel hopes at least one of the others will help her out."

Mel is keen to have one of her former bandmates - Victoria, Geri Halliwell, Mel C and Emma Bunton - alongside her as she decides which six hopefuls in her boy's category will go through to the live shows and remains confident that one of them will take part.

However, producers are said to be keeping an eye out for other singers to join her instead.

Meanwhile, the show hopefuls are believed to be visiting their judge's house later this week.
