As English soccer star David Beckham prepares to move to a new team in Los Angeles, his wife is also eyeing a new career - in television.

A spokesman for the couple says Victoria Beckham - who rose to fame as Posh Spice in the British pop group The Spice Girls, but has since struggled to revive her singing career - was interested in appearing in a new TV show.

"Major US networks are interested in a program idea developed by 19 Entertainment on Victoria, but as of yet no announcement has been made," the spokesman said.

Reports that the 32-year-old singer and fashion designer is going to appear in a reality TV show based on her move to Los Angeles have been dismissed.

The couple will move to the United States in August when Beckham begins a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team. It is a deal worth $US250 million.

The Beckhams are among Britain's most talked-about celebrity pairs, but are lesser known in the United States.

The British-based company 19 Entertainment, which was founded by Simon Fuller in 1985, creates and produces television shows including American Idol in the United States and Pop Idol in Britain.
