Victoria Beckham is considering turning down a TV offer in America to look after her large family that includes husband David Beckham.

The former Spice Girl has been offered the chance to host a US TV show, but since being dropped from the England team, David's obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has gotten worse, and his wife fears he is too vulnerable to be left alone.

A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "This is a hard one for Victoria. Career breaks like this don't come along often, but David and her boys mean the world to her. The fashion world respects Victoria so this show could be huge."

The US fashion-based reality show is being produced by Simon Fuller- the creator of 'Pop Idol', 'American Idol' and the former manager of The Spice Girls.

If Victoria, 32, accepts the job she will have to fly to America to film the series, leaving her three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and David at home in Madrid.

David, 31, confessed in April that he suffers from OCD and it worsens if he is under stress. The condition means the football star must have everything neat and organised into lines or pairs and he becomes distressed if he cannot control and organise everything.
