Victoria Beckham is signed up to model lingerie for Emporio Armani.

Accdording to our sources, the Ministry of Defence are looking into including the pictures in ration packs for troops at war. They are said to be a cost-effective replacement for the penis-wilting effect of Bromide.

The former Spice Girl will get her pants out as the "worldwide testimonial" for Emporio Armani Women's underwear in the Spring/Summer 2009 campaign.

The collaboration comes months after David Beckham stopped traffic by posing scantily clad for the Italian designer, which was unveiled on a massive billboard in California last June. Victoria may well stop the traffic too - after all it is very difficult to drive when your eyeballs melt onto the dashboard.

Giorgio Armani said:

"Who better than Victoria Beckham to launch our new global Emporio Armani underwear campaign?"

Erm... Margaret Thatcher would be sexier mate.
