Her bandmate Kimberley Walsh hurriedly interjected, saying: "She means older than us!", but Cole still made the point that none of the dresses would be in her wardrobe.
Frock shock: one of Posh's dresses
The X factor judge first stuck the knife into Beckham in an interview with Vogue, saying she had bonded with her during the World Cup, but was then disappointed she didn't call after Ashley had a one-night stand with a hairdresser.
She said: "David's mum is friends with Ashley's mum, she (Victoria) was in my hotel room the whole time during the World Cup — we've had barbecues together — so I was quite shocked by that."
In the same interview she also dismissed other WAGs as "wooden blocks", Alexa Chung as "superior" and Peaches Geldof as "up herself".
But if Ashley's affair did not garner sympathy with Beckham — who herself had the humiliation of her own husband's alleged affair with Rebecca Loos in 2004 — it sparked public support as Cole was today named the celebrity women would most like to be their best friend.
A spokesman for internet researchers onepoll.com said: "She might be a famous singer and TV star, but she still comes across as being a normal girl you could have a good night out and gossip with."
