Domestic Spice

So there you are vacuuming your palace in your see-through dress, stockings and high heels - but how do you avoid boredom setting in?

Simple. Pick up your diamante-encrusted phone and chat to a friend about your impossibly glamorous life.

That's how Victoria Beckham copes with the chores at Beckingham Palace, her Hertfordshire mansion judging by the 29-year-old singer's new pop video.

A friend said: 'It makes fun of the image we have about the Beckhams - namely that their lives are unbelievably glamorous and that they swan about all day doing nothing except work on their appearance.'

The video will accompany Victoria's single This Groove, a collaboration with hip-hop producer Damon Dash. It will be released as a double-A side single on December 29 with a pop tune called Let Your Head Go.
