Cheryl Cole slams WAG lifestyle

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has dubbed the WAG lifestyle "degrading".

The pop singer, who is married to Chelsea and England defender Ashley Cole, admitted that she is "embarrassed" by the generation of girls whose sole ambition is to marry a wealthy footballer.

She told Q: "To be labelled as someone's wife I find very degrading as a woman. It's embarrassing and depressing when I hear kids say to me: 'I wanna be a WAG.' That's not a job.

"This generation is really having it pushed down their throat, that being a footballer's wife is the be all and end all. It's not. What if you get cheated on or beaten up? What are you going to do then? Stay there for the Chloé handbag? I don't think so."
