Cheryl Cole has ‘self-belief’ back

Pop star Cheryl is a judge on UK televised singing competition The X Factor, along with Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh.

Cheryl split from soccer player Ashley Cole earlier this year amid allegations he had been unfaithful during their marriage. Cheryl was said to be devastated after the break-up, but her X Factor colleague Sinitta – who works backstage on the show - says she’s regained her sparkle now.

“She’s always been a fighter from the old days when she was with Ashley and she had her break-up. It’s just good old confidence and self-belief and she’s more comfortable in that chair now so she feels like, ‘I know what I’m doing,’” Sinitta said.

The former pop singer also commented on Cheryl’s new flower tattoo on her upper left thigh, musing that waxwork museum Madame Tussauds must be frustrated their model of Cheryl doesn’t feature the inking. The 27-year-old star has described her new body art as representing a fresh start in her life.

“I wonder if Madame Tussauds are annoyed because they’ve done her image and she goes and gets a tattoo and it doesn’t look like Cheryl anymore!” she pondered.
