Cheryl Ann Fernandez-Versini (née Tweedy; born 30 June 1983) is an English singer, dancer, and television personality. Born and raised in Tyneside, she rose to fame in late 2002 upon winning a place in girl group Girls Aloud after participating in ITV's Popstars: The Rivals. While still in the group, she began a solo career in April 2009, releasing her first solo studio album, 3 Words, in October. The album gave rise to three successful singles, including "Fight for This Love", which entered at number one on the UK charts and became the best selling single of the year. In October 2010, Cheryl released her second studio album, Messy Little Raindrops, which produced two singles, the first of which, "Promise This", also debuted at number one. She released her third solo album, A Million Lights, in June 2012, with lead single "Call My Name" becoming her third number one single. Her fourth album, Only Human, was released in 2014, after Girls Aloud's split the previous year, and produced three singles, including "Crazy Stupid Love" and "I Don't Care"; both reached number one in the UK, making Cheryl the first British female artist to have five number ones in the UK, a record she currently shares with Jess Glynne.
Cheryl became a judge on the UK version of The X Factor in 2008. She mentored two of the eventual winners of the competition (Alexandra Burke in series 5 and Joe McElderry in series 6), before resigning in 2011 and joining the panel of the American version. However, she left the show during the auditions stage, fuelling rumours that she had been sacked. She would later return to judge series 11 and 12 of the UK version.
