While half the country have their sights on the World Cup in Africa, and Ashley Cole attempts to do something which can make up for all his bad press recently, his soon-to-be ex-wife Cheryl Cole was today working hard at the second audition recording for the new series of The X Factor, which returns to our screens later this year.
As Cheryl stepped out of her plush car, a huge crowd of screaming fans were there to welcome the judge to the LG Arena in Birmingham. The Girls Aloud singer flashed her pearly whites for the cameras, gave some autographs, took some pictures with the fans, before heading inside the arena to start work with fellow judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and guest judge Natalie Imbruglia.
Picking up where Natalie left off, Pixie Lott is rumoured to filling Dannii Minogue’s spot on the judging panel tomorrow, while there’s also rumours that Charlotte Church and Lily Allen will be sitting beside Cheryl.
Handbags at dawn for those shows, as Lily, Charlotte and Cheryl have bitter feuds which have played out infront of the media in recent years. Checkout the Cheryl Cole Pictures at X Factor Auditions in Birmingham below.
