Cheryl Cole: “Doctors told me to gain weight

It’s been over a year since former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole was treated for Malaria. The Girls Aloud singer contracted the illness on holiday in Tanzania, and has never really spoken out about that time in her life. Now Cheryl has opened up to In Style about her illness, admitting that doctors ordered her to put on weight and stop working so hard,

“I had to take good care of myself and I was told to stop exercising and to gain weight to get well. I just ate everything,” reveals Cheryl.

“The malaria also ate away at my muscles, but let’s not get grim – it opened my eyes to health and things I hadn’t focused on before. It’s now less about work, work, work and more about making time to chill and be with my friends and family.”

    Have people got bugger all else to do than complain about a swearword?! My God. Get a grip. And as nuch as I can't stand Cockrot Cocozza, I agree with the comment that Matt swore and that little creep from 1D said pussy and everyone just said 'awwww how cute'. Double standards.

    i would rather listen to a whole Jedward album than ONE Cockozza song!!! Regarding the comments on his swearing, there are plenty of other young contestants on the x factor that don't feel the need to swear on live TV.

    I think Frankie, for all his faults, comes across as quite humble on stage. He took all that stuff from Louis without any comeback and even said he respected his opinion. He's only 18 at the end of the day and 18 year olds with that amount of self control are quite rare (I work with loads of them!)

    Hope he goes this weekend, there will be something seriously wrong if he is still there this weekend. As for Coleen is she not allowed to just want to give up the booze. Ok so there was a picture yesterday of her stomach looking a little more rounded but then she may have just had a big lunch. Unless she says anything why bother speculating.

    The story was about how people have complained to ofcom about his antics, not his singing. If singing is the right word.

    Yes that's fine and im sure that most people aren't that bothered by his antics on stage, the reason everyone hates him is that he has no singing ability at all. I dont watch the x factor but I did see his performance this week and it was horrendous. Louis was right.

    Regarding Frankie, people need to face reality. This is what lads his age all over the country are like, in fact he's probably pretty tame in comparison to some of them. One swear word! Most teenage lads utter a swear every other word! I'm not saying he's a role model or anything, but he's not exactly unusual.
