Callaghan and Tweedy were together for more than a decade but never married each other; they separated when Cole was eleven years old.[21]
As a young child circa 1990, she appeared in a television advert for British Gas with her younger brother Garry.[22] Interested in dancing from an early age, she began sequence dancing at the age of four,[23] before joining The Royal Ballet's summer school at the age of nine.[24] She occasionally appeared doing dance recitals on different television shows in the UK.
She won a large amount of achievements in modelling competitions, including the titles of Boots Group's "bonniest baby", Mothercare's Happy Faces Portrait competition, "Best Looking Girl of Newcastle", The Evening Chronicle's "Little Miss and Mister", and "Most Attractive Girl" at the MetroCentre. She made appearances in British Gas adverts for a second time, an SCS furniture store advert, and an Eldon Square Christmas advert with younger brother Garry.

Career
2002–09: Girls Aloud
The group's debut single "Sound of the Underground" peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the 2002 Christmas number one.[26] Girls Aloud hold the record for the fastest time between formation of a band and reaching number one single.[27] The group released their debut album Sound of the Underground in May 2003,[28] which entered the charts at number two and was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) later the same year. Their singles "I'll Stand by You", "Walk This Way", and "The Promise" have charted at number one. Two of their albums have reached the top of the UK Albums Chart: their greatest hits album The Sound of Girls Aloud and 2008's Out of Control, both of which entered the chart at number one, with over one million copies of the former being sold.[29] They also achieved seven certified albums and have been nominated for five Brit Awards, winning the 2009 Best Single for "The Promise".
The group's musical style is pop, but throughout their career they had experimented with electropop and dance-pop. Girls Aloud's collaborations with Brian Higgins and his songwriting and production team Xenomania earned the group critical acclaim,[30] due to an innovative approach to mainstream pop music. The group became one of the few UK reality television acts to achieve continued success, amassing a fortune of £30 million by May 2010. Guinness World Records lists them as "Most Successful Reality TV Group" in the 2007 edition. They also hold the record for "Most Consecutive Top Ten Entries in the UK by a Female Group" in the 2008 edition, and are credited again for "Most Successful Reality TV Group" in the 2011 edition. The group was also named the United Kingdom's biggest selling girl group of the 21st century, with over 4.3 million singles sales and 4 million albums sold in the UK alone.[31][32]
2008–10: Television endeavors and solo debut 3 Words
Cole's first solo performance was on American rapper will.i.am's "Heartbreaker" in 2008. She was picked to appear as a dancer in the video after taking streetdancing classes during the filming of the ITV2 series The Passions of Girls Aloud,[38] in which the members of the band achieve something they had always wanted to do, other than sing.[39] She was later asked, by will.i.am, to sing additional vocals on the track.[40] In April 2009, Cole started working on solo material.[41]
Her debut album, 3 Words, was released in the UK on 26 October 2009.[42] In July 2009, Girls Aloud announced they would take a year-long hiatus in the pursuit of solo projects, but would reunite for a new studio album in 2010.[43] In August 2010, bandmate Nicola Roberts revealed that she wasn't anticipating a reunion of the band until 2012, if then. 3 Words spent two weeks at number one.[44] On 6 November 2009, BPI certified the album Platinum, denoting shipments of over 300,000 units.[45] It later tripled this feat.[45]
The first single from the album, "Fight for This Love", was written by Andre Merritt, Steve Kipner and Wayne Wilkins, and produced by Steve Kipner and Wayne Wilkins. According to Cole, it was released as the lead single because she "connected with the song so well".[46] Following a performance on The X Factor live results show, "Fight for This Love" became the fourth best-selling single of 2009 in the UK.[47] It charted at number one on both the Irish and UK Singles Chart.[48] In 2010, "Fight For This Love" went to number one in Denmark, Norway and Hungary.[49] The single was later certified silver in the UK. Cole's second single "3 Words", which features will.i.am, went to number 4 in the UK and seven in Ireland.[50] In 2010, the single was released in Australia and charted at number 5 and was certified platinum.[51] The third single, "Parachute", charted in the top five in both the UK and Ireland. The single was certified gold in the UK.[45]
Cole was given a one-off television programme for ITV1, Cheryl Cole's Night In, which aired on 19 December 2009.[52] The programme, hosted by Holly Willoughby, featured music and interviews with Cole and some of her favourite performers. Alexandra Burke, Rihanna, Will Young, Snow Patrol and will.i.am made appearances.[53] Cole told the press, "I couldn't be happier that ITV have asked me to round off the year with my own show, working with some of my favourite artists". The programme attracted 5 million viewers on its first airing, substantially less than the 8.1 million viewers Strictly Come Dancing received during the same time slot.[54]
2010–11: Messy Little Raindrops
In March 2010, Cole stated that she had begun working on her follow up album to 3 Words, which she hoped to release "later on in the year".[55] The album was largely produced by Wayne Wilkins.[56] The album features guest vocals from August Rigo, Dizzee Rascal, Travie McCoy, and will.i.am.[57] Cole started recording sessions for her second album in February 2010[58] though in an interview on Alan Carr: Chatty Man she admitted that some of the songs submitted for the record dated back to 3 Words (2009).[59] Messy Little Raindrops has received generally mixed reviews from music critics. A predominantly positive review came from Jon O'Brien of Allmusic who awarded it four out of five stars.[60] Cole's second solo album, titled Messy Little Raindrops, was released on 29 October 2010. The album debuted at number one in the UK, and at number two in Ireland. On 19 August 2011 the album was certified Platinum by BPI, with shipments in the UK in the excess of 300,000.[61]The album's first single, "Promise This", was released on 24 October 2010 and became her second number-one hit in the UK.[62] "Promise This" is an up-tempo dance-pop song written by American songwriter Priscilla Hamilton, British music producer Wayne Wilkins, who was responsible for Cole's debut single "Fight for This Love", and Christopher Jackson.[63][64] "The Flood" was released as the albums second single and entered the charts after its official release at number 18, becoming Cheryl's lowest charting single in the UK to date. "Everyone", featuring Dizzee Rascal, was slated as the third single and was to be released on 21 March 2011, but was cancelled due to Cheryl's involvement on the US version of The X Factor and the underperformance of "The Flood".[65][66]
From May to July 2010, Cole was the opening act for The Black Eyed Peas at the British shows (as well as some European dates) of The E.N.D. World Tour.[68][69][70] Cole was interviewed during an episode of the fourth series of Piers Morgan's Life Stories, in which she discussed her marriage and divorce with Ashley Cole and her life-threatening battle with malaria. The show, which aired on 23 October 2010, drew an audience of 7.2 million: the highest figure in the chat show's history.[71]
On 5 May 2011, it was officially announced after months of speculation that Cole would appear as a judge alongside Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, and Paula Abdul on the American version of The X Factor.[72] However, after only three weeks as a judge and completing the auditions in Los Angeles and Chicago, Cole departed the show.[14] Cowell said that the reason why Cole left was because he offered her the job in the UK version back and he felt that she would have been more comfortable there.[73] It was also later confirmed that she would not be returning to the UK version either, as Tulisa Contostavlos had taken her place on the UK judging panel.[74] Nicole Scherzinger replaced Cole on the judging panel of The X Factor USA for the rest of season 1.[75] A year later on The Graham Norton Show, Cole revealed that she had snubbed the decision to return to the UK version of the show.[76] In December 2012, Cole sued the American version of the X Factor for $2.3 million (£1.4m). She received $1.8 million (£1.1m) for the first season, and then sued for $2 million (£1.25m) for the second season, plus additional damages.[77] In November 2013, Cole won for her settlement, for an undisclosed amount between her and producers Blue Orbit.[78]
2012–13: A Million Lights, Girls Aloud reunion and Tours
Cole's third studio album, A Million Lights, was released on 18 June 2012.[79] Before the album release, A Million Lights had doubled the amount of pre-orders to her nearest competitor Justin Bieber with his album Believe on the Amazon UK store.[80] However, A Million Lights debuted at number 2 on the UK Album Chart selling 34,934 copies in its first week on sale, with Bieber selling 3,181 more copies and beating her to the number 1 spot. The album also became her first not to debut at number 1 in the UK and her first not to sell over 100,000 copies in its first week on sale.[81] Previous album's 3 Words sold 125,000 copies while its follow-up Messy Little Raindrops sold around 105,000 copies.[82] "A Million Lights" was certified Gold in the United Kingdom for shipments of 100,000 copies.[45]

Cole also announced plans to do a set of meet and greets at each concert. The £350 offer will include an autograph, chance to meet Cheryl and a photograph with Cole backstage. Proceeds will go towards her charity The Cheryl Cole Foundation. The meet and greet ticket drew negative criticism from fans.[90]
On 4 June 2012, Cole performed a duet with Gary Barlow at the Diamond Jubilee concert organized and created by Barlow himself and watched by millions worldwide.[91][92] On 8 August 2012 it was revealed that Cole would return to The X Factor as a guest mentor to help judge Gary Barlow pick his finalist for the finals of the competition. In November 2012 Cole was handed her own documentary entitled Cheryl: Access All Areas, the show attracted 811,000 viewers on ITV2 and 177,000 watched on +1.[93]
After months of speculation, Cole confirmed that Girls Aloud's reunion would occur in November 2012.[94] The reunion is said to coincide with their tenth birthday and the release of a charity single for Children in Need. Girls Aloud reunited for the group's 10th anniversary. On 18 November 2012, the group released their new single, "Something New" which was the official charity single for Children in Need. The single peaked at number-two on the UK Singles Chart.[95] The group released their second greatest hits compilation, Ten on 26 November 2012.

"If you think my live vocal sounds so good it must be mimed, I'm happy, I take it as a compliment"
— Cole, speaking on the accusations of her miming.[113]
On 26 May 2012, it was reported that Cole would perform "Call My Name" with live vocals on The Voice UK, following allegedly pre-recorded performances that occurred the previous year on The X Factor UK. It was also reported that The Voice executives always edit the vocals for every artist on the show, and they would "provide some finishing touches to her singing prior to it being broadcast." As the performance began, Cole swan-dived onto her backing dancers before they performed a highly ellaborated routine. Following the broadcast, Cole received mixed comments from viewers, with a few accusing the singer of lip synching, while others, including pop artists Emma Bunton and will.i.am, praised the performance. In an interview with BBC News, Cole addressed the negative comments, and said that "if you think my live vocal sounds so good it must be mimed, I'm happy, I take it as a compliment."[116] She performed the track again on The Graham Norton Show on 8 June 2012, and was also accused of lip synching.
Cole has named Britney Spears and Beyoncé as a few of her inspirations, performance and fashion wise.[117][118][119] Cole spoke on the reason Beyoncé was a big influence on her saying "I love Beyonce, I just think she is such a beautiful person inside and out, apart from what she does on the stage which is obviously incredible and aspiration. I just like her as a woman shes empowering."[120] Cole has cited Lisa "Left Eye"' Lopes, a former member of American band TLC, as a big influence saying "I wanted to be Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes from TLC – I used to wear baggy jeans and Timberlands like a tomboy."[121] Cole cites Rihanna as an influence, describing her as "a perfect pop star."[122] Cole also cites American singer Mary J. Blige as an influence. "Mary's voice sounds so grown up and you can hear that she has experienced a lot in her life, her songs help me with every heartache."[123] Cole has influenced other artists, including Selena Gomez. In October 2010, Gomez revealed that Cole was an influential person for her saying "She's a big influence on me ... I picked up her CD and they gave me Girls Aloud things and a DVD of her, and her music got me through my whole movie [that I was filming]. She made me feel better, I just love her music and I think she's a really nice person. She's been through a lot, but she carries herself with a lot of class and I love that."[124]
Public image
Cole has become a recognised and photographed style icon;[3][4][5] referred to as a fashionista by the press.[6] Fashion magazine British Vogue praised Cole's style saying "Her wardrobe choices have become as successful as her singles – while filming for X Factor, she had fashion fans watching her every sartorial move and was snapped wearing a string of fashion-forward outfits from Givenchy and Preen, to McQueen and Missoni."[125] In both 2009 and 2010 Cole was named the best dressed woman by Glamour Magazine.

Cheryl Cole, yeah she's hot, and I love her tattoos".[131] Socialite Paris Hilton complimented Cole saying 'I love the way Cheryl dresses, and she's so sweet. We hung out a bit at the Grammys and I just find her beautiful and down to earth.' Actress Teri Hatcher called Cole a role model saying "Cheryl is a great role model and exactly the sort of woman we would love to have a role on Desperate Housewives. I hear she is an absolute darling."[131] Rihanna spoke on her admiration for Cole saying, "Like, how do you have a face like that, with hair like that and dimples, and a body like that, that's proportioned like that. And you have a successful career, something about that is not right".[131]
