Cole is set to reveal all about her divorce in an interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, which will be aired on Saturday night.
The Promise This singer said she won't be able to watch the interview back and instead will focus on her X factor girls.
She told British Metro newspaper: 'I don't like thinking about it, I won't be watching it - I am focusing on the girls.
'I'll get them ready and out to go and focus on my performance and I might watch it on Monday.'
The 27-year-old added: 'I got myself in such a state, I couldn't stomach someone asking something really personal and painful.'
But she is glad she spoke out about how she is because she was getting tired of all the rumours surrounding her life since she divorced footballer Ashley Cole.
She said: 'It's just about me having my own voice, from my mouth and not something you've read - it important to get it out the way so I can talk about new things.'
Cheryl, who has been romantically linked to dancer Derek Hough and Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am, said she won't open up again.
She added: 'Even when you do interviews they take it out of context, I've got exciting things to talk about - positive things.'
