Biography

Early life and career

Cheryl Tweedy was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England and lived in a suburb called Heaton. She is one of five children - one younger brother, Garry, and two half-brothers - Andrew and Joseph, and one half-sister Gillian.

In addition to dancing, Cheryl 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 & 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 television shows.

In 2008, Cole was voted number 7 in FHM's 100 sexiest women 2008 poll. In November 2008, it was announced that Cole is to appear on the cover of the February 2009 edition of British Vogue.

Girls Aloud

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

Collaboration with Will.I.Am

After taking streetdancing classes during the filming of Passions of Girls Aloud 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, but had already entered the top ten on download sales, peaking at number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.

The X Factor

On 10 June 2008, it was announced Cole would replace Sharon Osbourne as a judge for the fifth series of The X Factor.

A week before the 2008 series, in a 9 August 2008 interview with Cosmopolitan (magazine) magazine, Cole's fellow judge Dannii Minogue said she believed Cole could bring a new side to the talent show: "One week Cheryl was talking about urban music and telling Simon Cowell 'This is what the show needs; this is where you've been going wrong'. Cheryl was given the Girls category, subsequently ending up as the winning judge, with Alexandra Burke winning the show on 13 December 2008.

Personal life

On 11 January 2003, Cheryl 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 Cheryl 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 July 2006, Tweedy married footballer Ashley Cole in Barnet, North West London.

Musical Legacy

Cheryl Cole has become the title of various songs by various singers. In 2007, Lily Allen included a song entitled Cheryl Tweedy on her debut single Smile. In 2009, Jack Lucien stated in a blog that he had written a song about Cole for his new album.
