Victoria Beckham is the most recent celebrity to be included on the children's cartoon show SpongeBob Squarepants.

Beckham will play the role of mermaid Queen Amphitrite in the "Clash of the Tritons", a forthcoming episode of the Nickelodeon series.

"I was so thrilled when I was asked to be a part of SpongeBob as my children love the show," Beckham told The Daily Mail in the UK.

"When I told the boys that I was going to be on the show, they were so excited!

"I had such a great time recording the voice of Queen Amphitrite. How fun to be a Queen for a day! We are all looking forward to watching it together."

David Bowie, David Hasselhoff, Johnny Depp and Ricky Gervais have all voiced characters on the cartoon, which is aired on Foxtel and Austar's Nick Jr. channel.
