Cheryl: My Story (47 page)

On tour with The Black Eyed Peas in May 2010. Will would sometimes perform ‘3 Words’ with me, but I never knew if he was going to appear on stage or not.

Me and my final four girls – Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel, Rebecca Ferguson and Treyc Cohen – on
The X Factor
in 2010.

Simon and I joking about in our usual fashion on
The X Factor
judging panel. There was always a lot of banter between us, both on- and off-screen.

In February 2011 I had the honour of meeting Prince Charles at Clarence House after setting up my charity, The Cheryl Cole Foundation.

This is the FOX Upfront party to reveal the line-up of presenters and judges for
The X Factor
USA. I’m with Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger, LA Reid, Paula Abdul and Simon.

In September 2011 I went on a morale-boosting visit to Afghanistan to present a
Daily Mirror
Pride of Britain award. I have the greatest respect for our soldiers.

It was such an honour to perform at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert in June 2012. When we all stood on the stage together after the show the atmosphere was incredible.
