Early years

In addition to dancing, Cole won many modelling competitions, including Boots Group's bonniest baby, Mothercare Happy Faces Portrait competition, Best Looking Girl of Newcastle, The Evening Chronicle "Little Miss and Mister" and "Most Attractive Girl" at the MetroCentre. She also appeared in two British Gas adverts, an SCS advert, and an Eldon Square Christmas advert with younger brother Garry. Interested in dancing from an early age, Cole joined the Royal Ballet's,summer school at the age of nine. She sang, modelled and appeared in recitals on some TV shows.

Career

Girls Aloud (29 walls)
Cole auditioned for Popstars The Rivals in 2002 (10 years ago), singing S Club 7's "Have You Ever". She was the first person to be chosen for Girls Aloud (29 walls) which has gone on to be one of the most successful British pop groups of the decade.

After taking streetdancing classes during the filming of Passions of Girls Aloud (29 walls) series, Cole was picked to appear in the music video for will.i.am's single "Heartbreaker". She was later asked to sing additional vocals on the track. The song was released in the UK on 5 May 2008 (4 years ago), but had already entered the top ten on download sales, peaking at number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.

Solo career
On 27 Apr. 2009 (3 years ago), MTV UK confirmed that Cole was working on solo material and that a solo album would be released in the interim period prior to the scheduled release of the next Girls Aloud (29 walls) album in Autumn 2010 (2 years ago). Taio Cruz has revealed himself he has written a song for Cheryl's solo album that is said to be a club song.

The X Factor
On 10 Jun. 2008 (4 years ago), it was announced Cole would replace Sharon Osbourne as a judge for the fifth series of The X Factor. Cole was given the Girls category, subsequently ending up as the winning judge, with Alexandra Burke winning the show on 13 dec. 2008 (4 years ago). It was announced she will return for the Sixth series.

Personal life

On 11 Jan. 2003 (9 years ago), Cole was involved in an altercation with a nightclub toilet attendant, Sophie Amogbokpa, in "The Drink" nightclub in Guildford (now called "Harper's"). Cole was subsequently charged with racially aggravated assault (she had allegedly called Amogbokpa a "jigaboo") and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. During her trial, Cole claimed she acted in self-defence (claiming she had been punched first) and denied using racially abusive language. The jury found her guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, but cleared her of racially aggravated assault. The judge sentenced her to 120 hours of community service and ordered her to pay her victim £500 in compensation, as well as £3,000 prosecution costs.

In Jul. 2006 (6 years ago), she married footballer Ashley Cole in Barnet, North West London.
