Big up the sisterhood

Cheryl Cole

Following the launch of Cole's new single Call My Name, I thought it appropriate to include her in 'Big up the sisterhood'. Since she burst into our lives in 2002 as part of Popstars: The Rivals, the nation has been hooked on the girl who was later described as 'our sweetheart.'

It's fair to say that Chez hasn't had it easy, from the attack on a toilet attendant way back when, to her high profile break up with serial cheat Trashley Cole and that unjust sacking from US X-Factor, she's had to deal with some pretty tough press coverage and yet every time this girl manages to come back out on top....usually looking bloomin fabulous!

Not only that, but this busy lady has even found time throughout her hectic career to do her bit for charity, climbing Kilimanjaro in 2009 for Comic Relief and launching the Cheryl Cole foundation in aid of disadvantaged youth's, in partnership with The Princes Trust.

One can also bet that she's about the only woman in the world ever to make Simon Cowell grovel!

Yep it's fair to say that Cheryl deserves her place in Big up the sisterhood, not one to suffer fools gladly, she's undeniably a role model for all women out there, proving that you can have brains and beauty and that there are times in life that we will all take a knock, but it's about learning from it, picking yourself up and getting back out there even more fabulous than the last time!
