Cheryl Cole slams 'old and wrinkly' Spice Girls

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has launched a thinly veiled attack on the Spice Girls ahead of their reunion tour, which is scheduled for later this year.

The 24-year-old singer says she would refuse a similar comeback, declaring her group would not take to the stage while looking "old and wrinkly".

Cheryl said: "It just wouldn't be seemly. When we finish, we'll finish on top. And there'll be no comeback."

The Spice Girls, who are now all in their 30s, announced their plans to reunite for a world tour earlier this year.

She continued: "We could hardly go out as Girls Aloud when we're old and wrinkly. We would have to call ourselves Old Girls Aloud – and that would never do."

The group, which also includes Nicola Roberts, 21, Kimberley Walsh, 25, Nadine Coyle, 22 and Sarah Harding, 25, showed off plenty of still taut skin during a performance over the weekend.

They took to the stage at the Faenol Hall Estate in North Wales sporting sexy all black costumes.

Meanwhile, Sarah has said she revels in dressing up, revealing she delighted in wearing a racy school uniform while filming St Trinian's earlier this year.

While she was supposed to be playing a naive 15-year-old student, she says she couldn't resist sexing up the outfit.

She said: "I'm not sure I look so innocent. I really went for it - stockings, suspenders and a skirt up to my a***."

She added: "I couldn't resist! I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction it gets."
