David Beckham has banned the Spice Girls from staying with him and Victoria at their new Los Angeles mansion because they are "too much" when they get together, according to reports.

The footballer has re-located to America and joined soccer team LA Galaxy, while wife Victoria has recently announced a reunion tour with her former group.

But David has insisted that the rest of the Spice Girls can not stay at their new home when they are in LA because he finds them "much too much" when they are all together.

When asked if he would be having the girls around to stay, he said: "I don’t know about that. I’m sure they will all have a nice hotel somewhere.”

But he has said he is looking forward to their reunion, saying: "It’s great for them to be celebrating the success they had many years ago. I’m going to enjoy it. I know my boys are looking forward to seeing their mum on stage.”
