Cheryl Cole will be joining Simon Cowell on US X Factor

Starting a new life in LA and ready to star in the US X Factor, 27-year-old Cheryl Cole is determined to dazzle. But her confidence has taken a blow.

The fiesty Geordie has made celeb mistake No 1 and Googled herself.

She's said to be ‘in pieces' after reading vile comments calling her a ‘no mark Brit' on US websites.

As Now reported last week, she's also begun a brutal new workout regime with celeb fitness guru Tracy Anderson - and she's hating it!

Cheryl's finding it really tough to work out to Tracy's standards,' says our spy.

‘She's also facing leaving everything she knows behind, including ex-hubby Ashley.

'She's going from a big fish in a small pond to a tadpole in the ocean.'
