On July 3, 2010, Cheryl lost consciousness, shortly after her return from Tanzania. She was urgently hospitalized and diagnosed with malaria. Cole's condition quickly and severely worsened despite the treatment and was given no more than 24 hours left to live but she miraculously survived.

Has a waxwork figure in Madame Tussauds; she asked not to be put next to Simon Cowell's.

A huge fan of The Black Eyed Peas.

Delivered her son Bear via Caesarean section.

She was the first girl to make it into Girls Aloud.

I absolutely love my tattoos. The girls and I decided that the next time Girls Aloud have a No. 1, we'll all get one done. I want us to get something that only makes sense if we all stand in line, though!

The past year [2004] has been the best ever. I feel like I've got a fairy godmother watching over me.

I can't hurt any more than I've been hurt, I can't cry any more than I've cried. I've been to the highest of highs and lowest of lows, so one day I'm going to find my middle ground and be happy.

[on drug addicts] I don't have any sympathy for the addicts. That might sound harsh, but I don't give a f***. If they're in pain because of drugs, it's self-inflicted. You know what you're doing when you take it.

[on Simon Cowell] Simon is the most charismatic man I've ever met -- it's like he's trancing you or something. It's actually quite scary.
