Bride-to-be Liz Hurley has chosen no less than English rose Victoria Beckham as her bridesmaid.

The recruitment of Posh Spice only adds to the suspicion that this may be the celeb wedding of the year.

Victoria has confirmed her role in Hurley's wedding to Indian high-flyer businessman Arun Nayar. Victoria said: "I bet she's going to put me in something really frumpy - and with flat shoes."

The two pals have a history of limelight stealing. Sultry Liz ignored the Beckham's requests to wear "modest attire" at the christening of their children Romeo and Brooklyn last year.

Instead, she turned up in a cleavage-revealing white gown - to Victoria's annoyance.
