Cheryl Cole's slender frame threatens to overshadow her X Factor victory
Tuesday, 23 December 2008
Cheryl Cole’s triumphed on The X Factor and been hailed as a national treasure but now it seems her success is being overshadowed by a huge backlash over her dramatic weight loss.
Fans have logged on to internet forums to express their concern about the 25-year-old singer’s skeletal frame after seeing her ribs protruding from her backless Julien Macdonald gown at the X Factor final on 13 December.
‘She looks emaciated!’ wrote one. Another was in agreement, saying: ‘Visible ribcage – hot? Not in my book.’
Rumours have started to circulate that Cheryl’s tiny frame, believed to now be just over 7st, is down to the fact that she’s still in turmoil about reports earlier this year of husband Ashley Cole’s infidelities.
The past year has been an emotional one for Cheryl, whose weight plummeted to just 6st as she fled the country in the wake of the scandal.
‘With Cheryl, weight loss is a sure sign of stress,’ says our source. ‘Since her troubles with Ashley started, she’s found it hard to regulate her weight. She’s also been working flat out.
‘She's been so busy with The X Factor and all her Girls Aloud commitments.
‘Ashley’s been the least of her concerns – in fact, he’s been supportive and on his best behaviour. But Cheryl’s found it a struggle – her overnight success has stretched her to the limit.’
A spokesperson for Cheryl says: ‘She’s happy and healthy. The camera angles from the X Factor final were unflattering and misleading.’

its crazy ever thaught the camera might have caught her wen taking a deep breath after her contestant alexandra won the x factor. i think cheryl is the most recodnised member of girls aloud for all the wrong reasons. she is a pretty young woman that is always dancing and singing and working hard. she should get credit for her work instead of being scrutinised for everything she does. it dosent help people claiming she has had a boob job and loosing weight because she hasent had a boob job and yes she might have lost weight but HELLO her husband had allications made against him for cheeting on her . cheryl is amazing and always has a beautiful smile on her face, she is an inspiring character .
it's fair enough that people are concerned about her weight, but you need to stop nagging at her. Cheryl can't help that she is skinny, she sings, she dances she has got alot of stress on her plate, yeah she might be losing some weight but what do you expect ? ? Through the whole x factor series i though Cheryl looked amazing. She is a real icon people look up to her, i know i certanly do.
