Cheryl Cole slams Posh Spice

CHERYL COLE has hit out at Victoria Beckham for her lack of support after allegations of husband Ashley Cole's infidelity.

The Girls Aloud star she was disappointed that she didn't hear from the former Spice Girl after newspaper reports that the Chelsea and England star had cheated on her.

Cole, 25, and Beckham, 34, formed a friendship during the 2006 World Cup and distanced themselves from the other England players' wives and girlfriends.

Speaking to February's issue of Vogue magazine, of which she graces the cover, Cole said: "'She was in my hotel room during the World Cup - we've had barbecues together - so I was quite shocked by that. I mean, David's mum is friends with Ashley's mum."

The pop star, whose public profile soared after she appeared as a judge on The X Factor last month, hailed Beckham as "witty and ambitious" and defended her against negative media attention.

She said: "It's not fair the way the press pick on her. Nobody should endure that sort of vilification... I mean, to be honest, I feel sorry for her."
