Cheryl Coles Successful Year
admin | December 3, 2008
What began so dreadfully has turned into a quite extraordinary year for Cheryl. Since joining the X Factor team she’s become the nation’s new sweetheart, charming viewers with her warmth, humility, steely commitment, tears, smiles and wit.
It’s been nearly six years since Cheryl, Kimberley, Sarah, Nadine and Nicola pipped rival reality boyband One True Voice to the Christmas No1 slot with their debut single Sound of the Underground. Since then, they’ve notched up four No1 singles. All 19 of their singles have gone Top 10. Out of Control, their fifth studio album, and sixth overall, shot straight to No1.
Being one-fifth of Britain’s biggest girlband and playing a pivotal role on the nation’s biggest TV show means there’s not a lot of free time for Cheryl.
After X Factor, she’s into rehearsals for the tour which will take her through until next June. “After that I’m going somewhere hot,” she laughs. “But working hard is normal for me. People will think I’m a weirdo but when I’ve had time off I’m glad to be back at work.”
This week, in between photoshoots and filming, Cheryl and her bandmates launched a new education initiative with Canine Charity Dogs Trust and Nintendo. Nadine and Kimberley are appearing in Nintendo DS ads, and the scheme sees the firm donating DS consoles and copies of Nintendogs to Dogs Trust to take into schools.
Spending the day at Dogs Trust and seeing how many animals had been badly treated nearly set off canine-crazy Cheryl’s famous waterworks.
“People see a newborn puppy and fall in love with it. But they don’t have time to look after it properly. That’s distressing enough. But to see cruelty breaks my heart. Nintendogs is a great way to show people how much work is involved in looking after a dog.”
Cheryl has two dogs herself – Buster and Coco her two chihuahhuas, “I see them as my babies,” she says. “Sometimes I think I love dogs more than I love humans. I know they can’t talk back to me. But they express their personalities in other ways.”
“When I’ve been away for a couple of days Buster goes in a huff with me. He won’t run up and be happy to see me – he’ll give me a filthy look.”
