Cheryl

Was in a relationship with Liam Payne from 2015 to 2018. They have a son together - Bear Grey Payne (b. March 22, 2017).

Went to Afghanistan at the end of 2011 to present a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain award to the troops. She went on a fake practice run with them but it was as terrifying as the real thing and really opened her eyes; she got to blow up a dummy of Simon Cowell. They hadn't spoken in six months after her humiliating rejection from US X-Factor, but they reconciled on his 52nd birthday.

On July 3, 2010, Cheryl lost consciousness, shortly after her return from Tanzania. She was urgently hospitalized and diagnosed with malaria. Cole's condition quickly and severely worsened despite the treatment and was given no more than 24 hours left to live but she miraculously survived.

She also released a single, "Cheryl: Fight for This Love (2009)" which quickly rose to No. 1 on the charts.

In December 2009, 5 million viewers tuned in to watch Cole host a one-hour special, Cheryl Cole's Night In (2009).

Cole began her solo trajectory in June 2008, when she signed on to be a judge on Simon Cowell's TV talent show, The X Factor UK (2004).

First met Simon Cowell for Comic Relief. He liked that she was opinionated and invited her onto Britain's Got Talent (2007) because she could relate to the contestants. She agreed, but then reconsidered, so he offered her X-Factor (2006) instead. She had seen the show and first felt uncomfortable about turning away budding singers. When Sharon Osbourne quit X-Factor in June, 2008 Cheryl replaced her.

Engaged to footballer boyfriend Ashley Cole in June 2005.

Cole has also enjoyed some success as a solo artist and appeared as a judge on The X Factor UK (2004).

Cole had signed on for the American version of The X Factor UK (2004).

In 2003, she was sentenced to complete 120 hours of unpaid community service and paid £500 compensation for assaulting a nightclub worker.

Her crowd-pleasing performances on Popstars: The Rivals (2002) won her membership to the pop group Girls Aloud and vaulted her into music stardom, virtually overnight.

Cole's breakout moment, however, came in 2002 when, at age 19, she auditioned for the United Kingdom talent show Popstars: The Rivals (2002). After weeks of competition, the show's audience selected her along with four other female contestants: Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh. Together they formed the group Girls Aloud, and Cole would spend the next seven years accumulating 20 Top 10 singles, including four songs and two albums that topped the U. K. charts.

Appeared on TV shows like Gimme 5 (1992) and Michael Barrymore's My Kind of People (1995) when she was 12.

Born in 1983, British singer Cheryl Cole studied dance, modeled and appeared in advertisements as a child.

Born Cheryl Ann Tweedy in Newcastle upon Tyne, England on June 30, 1983. Cole showed an early interest in dance and was enrolled at The Royal Ballet's summer school at 9 years of age. She also won several modeling competitions and appeared in advertisements, including a pair of nationally televised commercials for British Gas.
