Cheryl Tweedy and Ashley ColeCheryl Tweedy has called her fellow WAGs vain after spending time with them in Germany.

Cheryl is set to marry England footballer Ashley Cole this summer but revealed: “It really annoys me when people try to call me a footballer’s wife.”

“Footballers’ wives have no careers and live off their husbands’ money. You see girls in clubs making a beeline for the footballers and it makes me sick.”

Of her fellow WAGS, Cheryl noted: “It’s like a comedy. Everyone’s so flash. It’s like, ‘Who’s got the best watch on, who’s got the best bag, which wife is dressed the best, which has got the best hair?’”

“I was in Girls Aloud before I met Ashley and have my own successful career. I’m not going to quit the band and sit around in the sun all day or go shopping with Ashley’s plastic.

“If I’m going shopping I’ll pay with the money I’ve worked hard for. I would die of embarrassment if I had to resort to taking boyfriend’s cards.”

She doesn’t, however, include Victoria Beckham in her criticisms: “I love Victoria. She’s just so witty and down i to earth. She’s from a girl band and she’s not a typical footballer’s wife . She’s very ambitious, so we have a lot in common. The first time I went to an England match to watch Ashley was just so embarrassing.”

“All the other girls were really glammed up, then I walked in with chipped nail polish and wearing a jumper. I looked terrible. But Victoria was so welcoming. She wasn’t intimidating or starry at all. We had a right laugh together.”
