Cheryl Cole is nervous about singing solo on The X Factor

Cheryl Cole's secret ambition

Forget her solo career – she really wants to break into movies instead

Tuesday, 25 August 2009

Cheryl Cole may be releasing her first solo album in October, but in the long term she doesn’t see her future as a singer because she fears she doesn’t have the talent.

A source tells Now: ‘Her real ambition lies in becoming an actress. That’s what a lot of her discussions in LA recently have been about. She’s told her agent that’s the direction she wants to head in over the next few years.

‘This will suit her husband Ashley because he’s been financing films and fancies himself as knowledgeable in the movie game.

'Cheryl’s determined to crack the States and the easiest way is to try 
TV first – a bit like Victoria Beckham has done with American Idol – then movies.’

Cheryl, 25, has been on edge since she was asked to perform on The X Factor to coincide with the launch of her solo album.

Our source reveals: ‘Although she’s worked with some of the biggest producers in pop, she feels lost without the rest of Girls Aloud. She isn’t considered the strongest singer in the band and she’s in a blind panic about appearing on the show.

‘She’s yet to agree to it because she’s so nervous, but we’re not sure how much choice she’ll have.

'She’s been told to look after her vocal chords as much as possible from now on, but she’s still smoking, which isn’t helping her voice, even though it eases her stress.’

Seriously? Cheryl Cole will never crack the states with that accent. Americans had to have subtitles for Trainspotting; you think they'd understand her? And she said never to elocution lessons so...
