The former Spice Girl – now a fashion designer – said her “heart goes out” to Mrs Cole following allegations that her estranged husband had a string of affairs.

Mrs Beckham, who became friendly with Mrs Cole during the World Cup in Germany in 2006, said she believed the Girls Aloud singer would emerge from the split stronger than ever.

“I have so much sympathy for Cheryl. My heart goes out to her – both as a woman and as someone in the media spotlight,” the 35-year-old said.

Mrs Beckham’s husband, the footballer David Beckham, was accused of having an affair with Rebecca Loos, his personal assistant, while playing for the Spanish team Real Madrid in 2004.

He denied the allegation and the couple stayed together. But Mrs Beckham said she understood the difficulties Mrs Cole, 26, was experiencing.

“I feel for her so much. It’s a horrible situation but she’s a fantastic, strong woman and she will be fine,” she said at Elton John’s Oscars party last night.

The two women went out for dinner together several times in the German town of Baden Baden during the 2006 World Cup, but Mrs Beckham said yesterday that they have not spoken for months.

Mrs Cole announced her spit from her husband last month following allegations that he had slept with a string of other women.

The pair are said to be planning to meet up when Mr Cole returns from France, where he is having treatment on a broken ankle.

Broken-hearted Cheryl Cole put on a brave face yesterday as she returned to work for the first time since splitting from cheating husband Ashley. The devastated Girls Aloud star spent nine hours filming a new TV shampoo ad.

Looking weary, the singer was picked up from her Surrey mansion at 7.35am and taken in a chauffeur-driven silver Merce des to North London’s Spring Studios.

Cheryl, 26, kept it together at the shoot for beauty product firm L’Oreal while the cast and crew were ordered not to mention Ashley, 29, or to ask her for autographs.

An onlooker said: “She looked tired and drawn but determined to put her work face on and to give a good performance. Ever the professional, she didn’t break down or cry. She was friendly and just knuckled down.

“She said she realised she couldn’t keep cancelling work commitments and needed to get back to business. Working keeps her mind off her turbulent private life. She’s going to wash Ashley right out of her hair.

“Cheryl did a fantastic job and the shoot went brilliantly. You would never know she had just left her cheating husband.”

The campaign, part of her £500,000 12-month contract with the French beauty label, will be aired this spring.

Cheryl Cole ‘wants nothing’ from husband Ashley if their separation leads to divorce.

Mrs Cole, who separated from her philandering husband earlier this week, has told friends she does not want to be involved in high-profile and bitter divorce proceedings over the couple’s £22 million fortune.

If their three-and-a-half year marriage ends, the X Factor judge wants a divorce to go through ‘quietly and discreetly.’

She does not want to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Heather Mills, who battled for a share of Sir Paul McCartney’s fortune when they split up.

Mr Cole – who earns £4.26 million a year from his contract with Chelsea alone – is the wealthier of the pair, worth £14 million.

Nevertheless, Mrs Cole is prepared to walk away from their marriage with nothing bar her own earnings – and the beloved Chihuahuas Coco and Buster.

The dogs, along with her mother Joan Callaghan, were named as the only ‘people’ she could trust in the world in an interview last year.

As a result, friends insist if their separation leads to divorce, it will occur quickly and painlessly. However, so far, Mrs Cole has still not appointed a lawyer to represent her.
