Cheryl Cole: I worried people wouldn't like Girls Aloud

Singer struggled to deal with the media attention

Celebrity hair: Cheryl Cole goes for a complicated look
Cheryl Cole joined Girls Aloud in 2002

Cheryl Cole admits she was insecure when she first joined Girls Aloud six years ago.

The X Factor judge rose to fame on ITV show Popstars: The Rivals when she was just 19.

‘To be honest, I didn’t eat or sleep, I barely breathed through worry of what people were thinking of us,’ she says.

‘But never once did I think, none of this is worth it.’

Cheryl, 25, has now grown used to the media frenzy surrounding her life.

‘All I can say is, we obviously make interesting news to be put on the front cover, so that’s a positive thing,’ she says. ‘We sell papers.’

Sarah Harding, 27, Nicola Roberts, 23, Kimberley Walsh, 27, and Nadine Coyle, 23, are also in Girls Aloud.
