London - Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, who won rave reviews with a catwalk strut at London's Fashion Week in February, was named the ultimate fashion icon in a poll yesterday.

The singer and wife of football superstar David Beckham has been criticised for helping to popularise ultra-slim figures among fans, but has denied reports she is suffering from anorexia.
