Eva Longoria nominates Victoria Beckham for Ice Bucket Challenge... as she becomes the latest celeb to take a soaking for charity

Your turn slosh Spice! Eva Longoria nominates Victoria Beckham for Ice Bucket Challenge... as she becomes the latest celeb to take a soaking for charity

It’s the offbeat charitable craze that has swept across America, but it was a certain Brit who could become next in line for a soaking in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
Taking part on Sunday, Eva Longoria nominated close pal Victoria Beckham before getting drenched in a chilly mixture of freezing cold water and cubes.
The 39-year-old actress posted her video on social networking site Who Say after accepting the challenge from her close friend, celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves.

Eva, who sported a peach coloured bikini beneath her semi-sheer dress, proved to be a good sport as the bucket was dunked over her head – but not before she challenged friends Ricky Martin, Melanie Griffith and Victoria.
    In a caption accompanying the video she wrote: ‘I accept @kenpaves challenge for ALS and now challenge @victoriabeckham @ricky_martin and @MelanieGriffith #icebucketALSchallenge.’ 
    The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has become something of a national craze after going viral through social media sites.

    So far celebs including Justin Bieber, Iggy Azalea, Nina Dobrev, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Chloe Moretz and Oprah Winfrey have gamely volunteered for a soaking in a bid to raise cash for charities dedicated to researching the debilitating condition. 
    The disease affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord in control of voluntary muscle movement. 
    On Saturday, Tori Spelling shared a video via Youtube of her family pouring a bucket of water over her head. She then nominated her mother, Candy Spelling.  
    Brooklyn Decker also got in on the shenanigans, nominating Chrissy Teigen, Kate Upton, and Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander afterward.
