Cheryl TweedyCheryl Tweedy spent most of her time in Germany chatting to Victoria Beckham about Cheryl’s forthcoming wedding to Ashley Cole.

Cheryl revealed recently: “We didn’t shut up - it was wedding this and wedding that. She was like, ‘Your wedding dress, it’s got to be amazing. I’ve seen some fabulous ones.”

Victoria then arranged for her favourite designer Roberto Cavalli to design a £110,000 dress for Cheryl.

A friend of Cheryl’s confirmed: “Victoria and Cheryl spent the whole of the World Cup together talking about her wedding. Victoria and Roberto have a special friendship, so when she and Cheryl got talking about wedding dresses, Victoria offered to step in.”

“She went to the trouble of phoning Roberto to arrange for Cheryl to have a private audience with him for her dress. And she has been on the other end of the phone helping Cheryl with the lastminute alterations. Everything with the dress has to be just perfect and money is no object to Cheryl or Ashley.”

Cheryl and Ashley are due to marry on 15 July.
