Victoria Beckham is a lady in red as she joins David and the Ramsays for Kelly Hoppen's birthday dinner

Victoria and David Beckham are throwing themselves back into the London social scene since deciding to spend the summer home in England.

And Wednesday night was no exception as the couple dressed up to help interior designer friend Kelly Hoppen celebrate her 51st birthday.

The Beckhams joined Spice Girl bandmate Emma Bunton, her partner Jade, comedian Alan Carr, Gordon and Tana Ramsay and choreographer Louie Spence at Hoppen's Notting Hill home.

Posh, 36, was her usual glamorous self in a red spotty mini-dress and matching bolero, while she teamed with a pair of tan slingback heels.

All the guests - bar reality TV star Spence - arrived promptly at 8pm, with the footballer, 35, playing designated driver for the night in a Jaguar.

They were followed close behind Gordon and Tana Ramsay in the celebrity's chef's new Audi R8.

Mother-of-four Mrs Ramsay looked chic in a black dress and frill detail, while her husband went for the smart/casual approach in a shirt and tailored trousers.

Clearly having a good evening at Hoppen's Come Dine With Me-themed party, loud laughter from the celebrities was clearly audible to passer-bys on the street.

No doubt the joking would have increased even more after the arrival of latecomer, Pineapple Dance Studios star Spence, who turned up at 10:40pm.

Following lots of food and wine, the celebrities started to leave around midnight.

Clearly thrilled with his dinner company, Spence wrote on his Twitter: 'Off to Kelly Hoppen's party with Laura Pye - another night with David and Victoria, Emma Bunton and Jade.'

Spence was invited to dine with the Beckhams and Bunton at 'Beckingham Palace', their seldom lived in Hertfordshire home last weekend.

The flamboyant dancer is old friends with the Posh and Bunton after choreographing their Spice Girl routines in the Nineties.

Meanwhile, Hoppen has been friends with the Beckhams for years and joined them in the south of France earlier this month to celebrate their 11th wedding anniversary.

Hoppen - former stepmother of Sienna Miller - revealed she would be creating the backdrop for Posh's forthcoming show at New York Fashion Week in September.

She said: 'I'll be designing the backdrop to her catwalk collection and it's going to be something really special.

'I love Victoria's designs. She's great fun and we're always giggling.'
