Cheryl Cole: I'm a weak singer

X Factor judge admits she’s not as good as some of the hopefuls at auditions

Cheryl Cole joins Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on The X Factor judging panel

Cheryl Cole has revealed that she doesn't have the greatest voice.

The Girls Aloud star claims her singing is not up to the standard of many of the contestants she's judging on The X Factor.

‘I know my limits and am realistic about my ability,’ she says. ‘I would never attempt a Whitney or a Mariah song. You’ll always get compared. I'd stick to something simple but beautiful.’

The 25-year-old star, who replaced Sharon Osbourne on the ITV1 show, also says she finds it hard to criticise the hopefuls who audition for her.

‘I like to think I’m there to give opinion and advice,’ she tells The Sun. ‘I try to be honest but fair to their feelings.’

The X Factor is on Saturdays on ITV1 at 7.30pm.
