Cheryl Cole has slammed the Spice Girls claiming Girls Aloud are a better girlband.
The X Factor judge told Attitude magazine it infuriates her when aspiring singers say they want to be like the the Spice Girls because she feels they are pop flops compared to her own band.
Cheryl, 25, apparently ranted: "I think: 'Piss off!' We've been around for six years - they were around for 18 months!"
The mouthy singer claimed all Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell did was fall out with each other, while she and bandmates Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh worked hard for their fame.
Cheryl said: "We recognise what the Spice Girls did, but it really annoys me when you meet girls who go: 'We wannabe the next Spice Girls.'
"Yes, they had worldwide domination, but they fell out, bitched about each other and went their separate ways.
"We've been around all this time, fighting to climb each step of the ladder, putting our hearts into everything."
