The Promise This singer, who was dropped from the judging panel on the US X Factor in May, says she would now like a job in the fashion world and is looking to the former Spice Girl for inspiration.
She told UK magazine Grazia: 'I saw Victoria on a plane recently and she said how exciting it was being a designer.
'I think it's brilliant what she's done. I'd love to do what she's doing. Her New York Fashion Week collection was my favourite.'
The 28-year-old Geordie star has recently taken her first steps into the fashion world by designing a footwear line with online brand StylistPick.
