Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen cannot understand why Victoria Beckham is constantly criticized by the media - insisting she is just an ordinary girl doing her best as a celebrity.

The Scottish actress, who - like the Beckhams - is currently based in Los Angeles, is saddened at the harsh media coverage the Spice Girl receives both in her native U.K. and the U.S.

She tells Closer magazine, "It's a shame people want her to fail so badly. I haven't met her yet, but she seems very down to earth for someone who wears designer clothes and millions of pounds of jewelry.

"Over here, there's so much pressure to have your hair and make-up perfect. However, when I do get recognized, I think: 'Oh my god! What am I wearing?' Perhaps I should be more like Victoria Beckham and groom myself a wee bit more."
