Cheryl you have done so well in life she has got great looks everything going for her go cheryl! all your dreams have come true u r amazing cheryl!!

By Lana .. Posted November 18 2009 at 9:00 PM.

I love Cheryl, however my daughter does ballet and I let me tell you it costs a lot of money !

By Abbie.. Posted November 15 2009 at 11:56 PM.

What a load of rubbish. I am surprisedher Mother allowed her to make these statements. It is my opinion that people who rent a nice Council house don't realise how lucky they are and If Chery's family was so impoverished then I take it they would be on Income Support and would be living rent free? Therefore lucky Cheryl - having ballet lessons eh? I was raised in a lovely council house in a very prestigious area in Newcastle on Tyne, everyone was proud working class, extremely house proud kept neat gardens, were well fed, good cooks, with no worries about repairs to the house etc., the Council saw to that. I will say this - my late Mother's council house was far superior to my own bungalow which I own and struggle to maintain.

By Joan Craven.. Posted November 15 2009 at 7:21 PM.

cheryl cole, if not the most, is such a beautiful girl.. she is absolutely gorgeous and inspires me a great deal - her talent is amazing and her looks are perfect.

any of this could have happened to anyone.

you only get out of life what you put in :)

By Ruby.. Posted November 11 2009 at 2:57 AM.

oh my god who would of thout that cheryl cole had a tough life as a child and you used to be poor!!!!!

By chantal.. Posted November 4 2009 at 10:41 AM.

Jealousy is a bad illness ,, i think cheryl is great and yeah maybe there are people who are growing up worser than what she did but maybe she doesnt want you to feel sorry for her shes just saying how it was for her.
cheryl inspires me on how she changed her life around well done cheryl x x

By Shannon x.. Posted November 2 2009 at 9:20 PM.

are cherly u r well cute and can u have kids?

By paige.. Posted November 1 2009 at 11:05 PM.

I can't even believe what some of you are saying. Cheryl was asked about her childhood and she's just saying the truth. Those of you saying your life was or is just like that, are as bad as you are making out she is - saying she wants sympathy...what are you doing. At least she did something about it. Why didn't you get off your arse and do something. DON'T COMPLAIN!.
She is an example of what you can achieve, no matter what sort of background you come from. If you work at it you will actually get somewhere.
You go on about her punching the toilet attendant but to be fair, she was drunk. Doesn't everyone do stupid things when they are drunk. Many have done worse than just punch someone. I bet you have done something as bad or worse when you were drunk. Think about it.
I think Cheryl is an amazing singer and person who has achieved so much in her life already, and I can't wait to see what else she does in the future. I hope to meet her one day, and I am glad that she has a better life now because she deserves it. WELL DONE CHERYL!!!

By Jacqueline.. Posted October 30 2009 at 4:37 PM.

leave her alone! she is lucky she is still alive today!

By Ashley.. Posted October 29 2009 at 3:13 PM.

so poor,yet had ballet lessons?seriously?
its storys like these that make me sick.
there are people out their much worse off than she was.what about those starving?why dont someone give them a few grand to sell a story?no one wants to know about those that are suffering,its all about the celebs.whoever feels sympathy for her is seriously living in a bubble.

By squi.. Posted October 27 2009 at 1:02 AM.

What a load of rubbish!

I'm the same age and I too grew up on a Newcastle Council estate. My father worked hard but still suffered from redundancy and I was brought up on benefits for four or five years. There were three kids and we never went without, we definitely never lived on beans on toast! The estates were drug ridden too; but that doesn't make me a victim. In fact I now a [self supporting] student and live in a Middle-Class area.

How can she claim a background of poverty when she went to ballet classes? Stephen Gately came from true poverty, yet was always too modest to make a big thing of it.

Stop disrespecting Newcastle! It hasn't just stepped out of a Dicken's novel; it is full of hard working people and a beautiful city. She is embarrased by her roots and Newcastle is ashamed of her!

By Feona Bowey.. Posted October 26 2009 at 10:54 PM.

I think the moral of the story here is ' a hard working young woman who had a dream and achieved it'. I think if anything, people would find her story inspiring and not just sit back, hating their lives and trashing on her! If you don't like your life, work hard to change it. (like she did!)

By Melissa.. Posted October 26 2009 at 3:43 PM.

And?
She isn't the only one who had a tough upbringing.
My Mum had very little money but she always made sure that us kids were fed and clothed, and i'm not ashammed to say that some of our clothes were from jumble sales.
It made me appreiciate the sacrifices my mum went through to see us kids were ok.
Maybe now that she has it all, she should take some time out and realise just how lucky she is.

By Lorna.. Posted October 26 2009 at 3:34 PM.

wtf u idiots sayoin tht u live on out date bread nd all that, if ur that poor how the hell have u got a laptop. idiots.

By me.. Posted October 26 2009 at 3:10 PM.

It's not a competition.....

By Lex.. Posted October 26 2009 at 1:11 PM.

JEALOUS, JEALOUS, JEALOUS - What a load of SADDOS you lot are!!!!!! She is just giving you an insight into her background, how she was reared, and how grateful she is now. She hasn't done it to rub anyone's nose in it. She's stating how it was for her - no-one else. Get a life !!!!!!!!!

By Rosie.. Posted October 26 2009 at 11:17 AM.

Well done Cheryl. People will always be jealous. Ignore them. You made it big and you deserve it. Stacey to win by the way, lovely girl from good ol Dagenham. Beautiful voice too.

By sue.. Posted October 26 2009 at 10:47 AM.

Poverty Cheryl ? Go to the the Philippines if you want to see REAL poverty no welfare state there if you cant work to earn money you starve !

By john.. Posted October 26 2009 at 9:18 AM.

Whats wrong with baked beans on toast? She should come out here to South Africa and I could show her what poverty and starvation really looks like.

By jez.. Posted October 26 2009 at 9:12 AM.

you were very unlucky cheryl but your making up for it know with your beaterful body figure with every thing you want its not the past that matters but the future

By jake .. Posted October 26 2009 at 8:08 AM.

Yea BUT when i was growin up we were so poor 8 of us kids shared a cardboard box under a motorway bridge ate dry bread and got clothes from jumble sales

good luck to her she's done ok..don't really need to write a book about it though

By lilly.. Posted October 26 2009 at 2:48 AM.

i like Cheryl seems a real nice girl lots have hard times i lost everything a year ago and still have nothing but thats life you either get a break or dont

By cornish bumkin.. Posted October 26 2009 at 1:11 AM.

Yeah..get a grip love, some peeps still HAVE to live like you did..they didn't meet a football player....thats life...good luck to you, but please....DON'T RUB PEOPLE'S NOSES IN IT...there's plenty of peeps out there who still live like "you" did...and survived!

By jane 41.. Posted October 26 2009 at 12:09 AM.

I really do not think that Cheryl is doing herself any favours here. She has basically recounted a typical working class upbringing! There are thousands of families around the country where children are fed 'baked beans and bread' - is that baked beans on toast, a meal that so many people eat!!! Many children have second hand clothes and toys, why would you throw perfectly good things away if a younger member of your family could have them, children's clothes last 3 months max?? McDonald's meals should be a treat to children, most families cannot afford to take their children out to eat every week, Cheryl has been fantastically lucky to have been taken from obscurity and given her fairy tale lifestyle based on what? Her singing ability! Doubt it, her looks and the fact that she pulled a premiership footballer are behind her success. The rest of us have to work hard all week for a fraction of what she and her her husband earn in a day. She now looks back on her upbringing with embarassment and shame while still claiming to be retain her working class roots and pride. Meanwhile the rest of us continue to struggle with the credit crunch, fearful of our job security and struggling to pay our bills, can Cheryl please stop whinging about things and realise how lucky she is and stop moaning about here upbringing which does not sound so bad. If lady luck had not shined on her so strongly, she would of been living a life among us mere mortals, a life she is now so far removed from.

By John Elllis.. Posted October 26 2009 at 12:05 AM.

always a sob story just to make an impact, then there will be a book, then another book, and then another, same old crap and she cant sing boring......

By joan shaw.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:40 PM.

Dear me, i still eat beans and out of date bread, get a grip

By itsme again.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:34 PM.

She is lucky that she had a choice to eat the bread if it was not out of date. I am sad to say that even in this day and age and while i'm working I still end up with beans on toast or boiled egg sandwiches and if any of those items are out of date I still eat them I can't believe that cheryl's family had the choice to throw them out if they were out of date. Maybe I should write a book about the hell hole I live in!!!!!!!

By jamie.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:04 PM.

i think i could hear the world's smallest violin playing ever so softly as i read it. I'm the same age as her and I'm lived on council estates half my life, living in a normal neighbourhood didnt really make much difference to my family either, when you're poor...your poor. Most of my meals were basic stuff like eggs and beans, all my toys were hand me downs, and i didnt know where my clothes were from i just wore them. All my siblings had the same, so did my cousins, and to my knowledge most of my friends too. thats just how life was growing up in the 80s and 90s for most people. this stuff just seems like a lame attempt at gaining public sympathy, i wasnt spoilt as a child so every buy my new single, the world owes me something, every one deserves success and i'd be happy for anyone who gets it, but this is a pathethic tried and tested technic celebrities use of releaving their fans of their hard earned money. shame sympathy for the people who deserve it, you'd think she grew up in the third world and sold into slavery or something...

By dean.. Posted October 25 2009 at 10:42 PM.

we still have baked beans if they are 6 months out of date and bread a day out of date, and weve still got a life!

By SARAH FROM NOTTS.. Posted October 25 2009 at 10:38 PM.

I find it quite strange, the timing of all these nonsense.
While She was auditioning for whatever it was called,She dint look like She survived on beans and whatever else She is claiming?I mean no offence but She was quite chubby like someone who had a 5 course meal a day so all this baked beens bizness must be purely for self pity and self promotion to number one which is fine coz we all know one does not have to be a great singer to get to the top,if they know a few people in the bizness.
I believe She must be on the baked beans diet now

By Fiona.. Posted October 25 2009 at 10:25 PM.

i don't believe this for 1 second.....seeing as she done ballet when she was young as well featuring in numerous television adverts when she was younger as well.... i don't think the extent of her poverty is as bad as she's making out....especially about mcdonals being a luxury, i think that may be a bit far fetched.

By chickenpops.. Posted October 25 2009 at 10:03 PM.

'The nation's sweetheart' ?

I never voted for her.

Talentless, cankle legged, bimbo.

By Dave.. Posted October 25 2009 at 9:44 PM.

All u people slating cheryl are just jealous idiots!! I am from newcastle and the part she grew up in was very run down when she was younger, only now is it starting to get better!! I say go on cheryl she is a great model compared 2 other celebrities out there i mean look at kerry katona for christ sake!?!? So go on cheryl keep doin the north east proud and ignore these small minded people!!! so what her brothers have criminal record, i bet half u on here arent angels!!

By Lisa.. Posted October 25 2009 at 8:08 PM.

PASS ME THE SICK BUCKET

By .. Posted October 25 2009 at 7:49 PM.

I feel Cheryl is trying to get the general public to relate to her more. I feel more more people would relate to her if she was a bit more down to earth. Cheryl you have done well for yourself and I wish you all the future success even though you come across as being a bit superfical and up yourself.

By Alex.. Posted October 25 2009 at 7:36 PM.

ya im just replying to the second commeny...nicki...this book that she wrote all this in was pubished last winter and it was the paper that took it from the book....it wasnt as if cheryl done an interview with them telling them all this!!!! there is some reaaalllyy jealous ppl out der!!! i love cheryl and i think she fab!!!

By jay jay.. Posted October 25 2009 at 6:50 PM.

Hi Guys
You need to cut her some slack because shes doing a fanstatic job and at least she in truful on her past. and shes a fanstatic rool model for young people so just leave her alone and let her get on with her life the way that she wants to live it

By Charlee.. Posted October 25 2009 at 6:38 PM.

Hi Cheryl
I think your a lovely person and just egore poeple that slate you because i think your a lovely person and keep up the good work. your doing brillant.

xxx

By Charlee.. Posted October 25 2009 at 6:34 PM.

is this a freedom of word?
then post this
she has got all she has from the nation
its her turn to give back to the people, she owes a lot,she aint entertaining,just trying her luck,as a judge on x factor she can do some good,hopefully,but would she do it without getting paid?

By palo.. Posted October 25 2009 at 6:09 PM.

Give the girl a break.I think she's just getting her point across that she wasn't always around money and therefore didnt and couldnt have everything she wanted,ok maybe it could have been written better but come on.I grew up in Glasgow,we made our own entertainment and i wore my older sisters hand-downs,BUT i wouldnt say it was poverty.As my mum always said we had what we needed but not what we wanted.I think Cheryl looks fab and good luck to her,some of these comments just smack of downright jealousy.

By Janice Glasgow,.. Posted October 25 2009 at 6:08 PM.

There is nothing worse when celebs come out with their sob stories.

Trying living in the real world, meet a few ppl who have real probs and who really have NOTHING.

i can not stand cheryl, i am from near newcastle where she is from and it makes me mad that she talks about council estates as if they are a bad thing. i was brought up on one from being 5 til i was 21 and left home. so shut up cheryl. idiot

By Laura M R .. Posted October 25 2009 at 6:02 PM.

Ppl need to cut her some slack.
All she has said is what her childhood was like.
Agreed, many are brought up in council housing and do well for themselves - I am one of those.
What is wrong in her telling people what she went through (even if its not as bad as some people have experienced) if it means that maybe a handful of youngsters realise that if they really try, and work against the odds, they can be successful.
I wish her continued success. She is a very intelligent and talented young woman. Less of the jealously, more of the understanding please.

By Miss T.. Posted October 25 2009 at 5:46 PM.

she is boring,,you should appreciate people who donate to the charity not the ones who got all the support from their nation to live like a kings selling such a crap,she owes it to the nation!!

By palo.. Posted October 25 2009 at 5:26 PM.

personally i think all of you who have slated cheryl need to grow up. like every other celebrity we poke are noses into there lives b4 and after there famous, if we didnt none of you haters wud of read the article. shes a young succesful act, whos going sumwhere in life so how about letting her get on with it. and her getting number one i had nothing 2 do with this article, people have bin buying and downloading all week. wish her all the best! xxx

By .. Posted October 25 2009 at 5:26 PM.

There is no-way Im jealous of Cheryl if what she says is poverty she is living in cukoo land omg,I cant believe she as the nerve to say going without she as no idea.Going without is living on the street having no food eating out of dust-bins oh you people who are feeling sorry for her look around Manchester,Liverpool,London and you will see real poverty so dont say Cheryl as had it bad for she as no idea she wouldnt have survived thats truth.

By victoria Ingham.. Posted October 25 2009 at 5:22 PM.

Cheryl love my heart bleeds for you aint got a clue what its like.You have never eat from a dustbin slept on the streets and I mean never gone without Im talking having nothing no food for 3 days no heating to keep warm and no toys so thats what real poverty is and how you can say you had beans on toast thats a luxury to some.You havent a clue.

Victoria

By Victoria Ingham.. Posted October 25 2009 at 5:12 PM.

all u poor ass tramps get to jobcentre n get thee sen a job u lazy bums stop complaining u idiotic people go out and deal with the matter u low life benefit claiming non tax paying tramps n leave cherly alone shes lovely shes jus telling her life story wts wrong with that???? jealousy....haters y do u do it ?

By jobcentre.. Posted October 25 2009 at 5:06 PM.

I lost my job in March after 33years working & I'm living hand to mouth so what.

By Trisha.. Posted October 25 2009 at 4:28 PM.

I think its a real shame that theres so many haters in this world. Cheryl is a great role model for young people, all shes doing is letting people know that no matter what background you come from, you can achieve your dreams if you work at it. Just because shes beautiful and successful people will just slate her for that reason .. shallow people !

By karen.. Posted October 25 2009 at 4:16 PM.

she doesnt want sympathy from anyone the papers asked her the question of what her life was like and she answered
yeh there are people who are in more poverty than what she was in but its still poverty and noone should have to go through that its good that she has turned her life around and can help others who need it
you keep going cheryl your amazing and deserve everything you have

By brodwen.. Posted October 25 2009 at 4:02 PM.

Hey Cheryl,
Lucky you, at least you had a doll to play with there are millions children around the world who is living in the street. Just please do not embrasure yourself.
With your millions at least you can do something to those children. You don't have to go that far, just go to council houses here in UK and change their lives.
Best Wishes!

By PoorRichMe.. Posted October 25 2009 at 3:55 PM.

why are we supposed to feel sorry for you, you didn!t do too bad if you had eggs! lots of people come from council estates, but we are not all after sympathy like you.think of other people for a change.you are too wrapped up in yourself.

By cat woman.. Posted October 25 2009 at 2:55 PM.

Yeah_yeah_yeah ,Bored-bored-bored.Stop ya whingeing and just get on with it,there are so many people out there who have had it just as bad if not worse,and you don't hear them bleating on about it.Your one of the luckey ones so get on with what you have to do and don't become a (lets feel sorry for poor ole me)dick.

By pheonixxxx.. Posted October 25 2009 at 2:24 PM.

here man, shes from heaton!!!
hahaha its hardly poor like
omg this just makes me laugh

By big mick.. Posted October 25 2009 at 2:40 PM.

I am the one who was clothed at jumble sales I have done well for myself just wanted to state that hundreds of us have had it hard during our childhood some worse than others.However living on beans isn`t poverty.

By San.. Posted October 25 2009 at 2:29 PM.

She was Lucky! I am the youngest of ten and we all lived in a Bean can.

By Beans 57.. Posted October 25 2009 at 2:22 PM.

Leave Cheryl alone! She's a great girl and deserves her success - She's a fantastic role model for kids and has achieved so much despite having a tough start in life. You're doing brilliantly Cheryl, keep at it girl!

By Sam.. Posted October 25 2009 at 2:07 PM.

and what has she done to help the poor in her backyard withour getting publicity the only genuine wasy to help others

By satinder.. Posted October 25 2009 at 1:56 PM.

all you haters are so pathetic, its embarrassing.
i feel sorry for you that you have nothing to do with your day than write a massive essay on someone you've never met, or ever will meet about their life. she was poor, and now shes not, get over it. this isnt some "oh i want sympathy" thing.
shes great, end of.
how about all you pikeys complaining about how poor you are get off your arses and make a change rather than slateing her. jealousy gets you knowever ok

By Louise.. Posted October 25 2009 at 1:55 PM.

Guys, you dont what poverty means, the lucky one are those who can even have their stories or comment get published here. I live here in Africa where even the beans are hardly easly to come by but we keep going so the poverty thing is real and unfortunetly the poorest of the poor dont feel and the poor feel it and the richer are getting richer and the poor and getting poorer every day. The remedy is to share whatever little one has otherwise, even the baked beans are not easy to come by these days.

By Yasiin.. Posted October 25 2009 at 1:41 PM.

Poor Cheryl..... and now with all her millions she still cant buy her dad a house and get him out of a run down council house that he still lives in.

By Fiona.. Posted October 25 2009 at 1:41 PM.

WOW! She's only giving the story of her upbringing and yet she is being slated for meerly stating how it was. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the people who are putting her down, are using the but 'I have it so much harder than you ever did' card. Mmmm....but have you moved your backside and actually done something about it?

By Lisa.. Posted October 25 2009 at 1:26 PM.

We couldn`t afford beans on toast,try just toast with marge.Did she ever have to get her clothes from a jumble sale ?I did.She doesn`t know the meaning of poverty.

By San.. Posted October 25 2009 at 12:47 PM.

'We lived on baked beans and bread - if it wasn't out of date'

Enough of this sob story - a lot of pensioners still have to live like this in this day and age.

By Jan.. Posted October 25 2009 at 12:25 PM.

Give Cheryl some slack. She's an amazing performer and she's really made something of herself... she should be so proud.

Jealousy jealousy its a nasty thing

By Kerri.. Posted October 25 2009 at 12:15 PM.

nowt wrong with hand me downs- thats all i ever wore. plenty of us grew up in similar backgrounds me and my sister for example. our mum couldnt afford to heat the house and we definately didnt get to go ballet classes!

maybe instead of whinging bout her tough upbringing she should count her blessings that with hard work and support- and- *cough cough* talent- she made her life better and got out of that council estate.

bet most of the kids she went to school with are still struggling to make ends meet...

By saffy.. Posted October 25 2009 at 12:04 PM.

No mention here of the fact that both her siblings have criminal records for serious assaults which resulted in long custodial sentences.

By Tom Jones.. Posted October 25 2009 at 12:10 PM.

well sorry to hear you had a hard life cheryl.....mine was so rosy !!!my dad died when i was 6 my bro died wen he was 2 my mum ran off and left us we used to nick the coal off the coal man n milk off doorsteps and beg for food and as for clothes we hardly had any either god beans on toast god i never knew wot they was wen i was little id have gave anything to have a family n proper upbring being loved etc get over yourself!!!!!

By ALICE.. Posted October 25 2009 at 12:05 PM.

Cheryl! You are truly inspiring. You started off as someone who looked forward to a one pound meal. And now look at you, your gorgeous, nice, and have everything you've wanted. I think that just proves you don't have to start off as a billion - millionarie, you take baby steps there.

And Cheryl shows that! So don't comment saying OH MY GOSH, how do they afford a camera, they probably had one camera. And it is truly wonderful how you don't take it for granted.

By Maria.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:57 AM.

By Kelly Taylor.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:43 AM.

Cheryl I had beans on toast this morning, and that was by choice. Also poor you having to make do with hand me down toys, my heart bleeds for you having to go through such a tough childhood.
Back in my day we had to create our own fun, like kick the can, British bulldogs two man hunt etc.Do you know what though I wouldn,t have swapped it for the world, those were not poor times those were happy times......P.S You can't sing, you are like a fish out of water on the x factor, and I give you a year at most and it will be back to beans on toast for you again.

By Harry.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:32 AM.

From ya pics of ballet dancin really must have been on the breadline sure there was video cam clips of you as a child shown well i wasn't brought up on baked beans and we couldn't afford cam-corder's back in the day!!

Stop chattin Sh!t like you hard this really hard upbringing u grew up on a council estate like 80% of the British population so stop going on like you were in the soviet union no sympathy from ere for ya count ya self lucky at least you got out that life the rest of us are still there an baked beans or caviar i don't need to sell my soul to earn a few dollars !!!!!!

By ASM.. Posted October 25 2009 at 11:07 AM.

Oi Mrs Cole.

As a kid I looked forward to Beans on toast.

So dont you give us that sh*t

By Franky.. Posted October 25 2009 at 10:53 AM.

Yeah she was accepted to Ballet school but through the daily star it was a sponsorship.

By Helen Skippen.. Posted October 25 2009 at 10:53 AM.

Darling, I lov u , why did he cheat on you?

By bal bhangal.. Posted October 25 2009 at 10:46 AM.

I read somewhere that Cheryl was acccepted into a prestigous ballet school. Knowing how much ballet lessons cost along with all the other parapehernalia, her family couldn't have been that poor!

By Tracy.. Posted October 25 2009 at 9:32 AM.

good luck cheryal I grew up on a council estate and had a tough life been through many traumas lost a lot of people close to me, I myself hope to make it big one day in television xxxx
good luck x

By Mary-georgina.. Posted October 25 2009 at 9:04 AM.

To all those going on about the fight, have you never made a mistake in your life? how many other celebrities have got in fights and been forgiven, I'd say the majority of stars have at some point made a mistake in their lives its just a shame low lives like you on here judge her for 1 mistake she made 6 years ago.

Most of you are probably jealous of her and what she has made of her life after being given no help by her upbringing at all.

By Andy.. Posted October 25 2009 at 9:00 AM.

What I dont get is that people here treat Cheryl like an Angel then treat Ashley like a demon!!! Cheryl beat up a defenseless toilet worker.. I see Ashley supporting her at everything she does like the music or X-factor series but ofr once I havent seen Geordie lars at Stanford Bridge or on Thursday she didnt turn up at her husbands movie premier, if it was Cheryl that turned up on her own the media would have demonised Ashley....

By Ola Ray.. Posted October 25 2009 at 8:40 AM.

How much longer can this awful woman keep milking public sympathy to sell her drivel.Shame on the NOTW for trying to brush over her assualting the toilet attendant, all hell broke loose over that poor woman's face it looked at though a boxer had beaten her up. Of course she stays with Ashley she knows she will get a big divorce settlement one day.

Errr, Lisa - what exactly am I supposed to be jealous of? I'm a bloke for crying out loud! She hasn't got anything I want - not even the money.

If I ever get rich, I want it to be because I truly earnt it, not because I got lucky with 4 other bimbos on a naff talent show and then got hitched to a womanising, mediocre footballer.

Talk about being a tad obsessed.

Poor little Chezza. Convicted of beating up an even poorer toilet attendant. Here's the BBC report from 2003: "Tweedy... punched the toilet attendant after Mrs Amogbokpa tried to stop her taking some lollipops."

McDonalds and Chinese . . . sounds pretty priviliged to me!

it annoys me so much that people can't just be happy for her. she had a hard life and she turned it around - good for her. all u people who are giving her a hard time would u have the same attitude if it was ur child/sister/brother/cousin/friend or anybody else that had done what she has done and would u be this negative.

what irritates me about our country, is we help all these people get to where they are by either watching the tv shows there on, buying the papers, there in or the music they make but then u don't think twice before trying to knock them down and break them.

yes it's sad that there are still a lot of people out there going through tough times but isn't it better that at least one person can turn their life round and maybe even inspire others to do the same and show that it is possible????

well done Cheryl keep doing what ur doing!!!!

YOU WERE LUCKY CHERYL....WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE BEANS!!!

@ Luke: Cheryl has talked about this a few times, notably in the Girls Aloud book, which came out in 2008...

By Fa.. Posted October 25 2009 at 12:52 AM.

Cheryl's story is a fabulous rags to riches story. I mean, just in 2002 she turned her life around. I love her. She inspires me and I read everything about her.
I pray that anyone who has skeletons in THEIR closets don't get rich and famous, as that's the 1st thing the Media does, is bring those skeletons out of that closet. So, whomever wants to throw the first stone - go ahead.

What a story. Great shame then that girl can't sing, though. I understand that her album is appalling and is set to be discounted in Asda before it is even released.
